Roberto's Ristorante & Pizzeria The Villages FL

"Came to this place by recommendations of some neighbors. Food smell great once you enter the place, that stop there. They put us on a dirty booth that still had the check and napkins from previous patrons. They set us a garlic bread knots that was ok. Bread is better in any other restaurant. Plates dirty, one was chipped. We had two acceptable bottles of Italian wines ( 3.9 ), but they were both slightly corked. ( they don’t know what was that.) Italian weeding soup with no taste, watered, small quantity, and no tiny beef meatballs? My Penne Pasta with meat sauce and meatballs, did not have meat sauce for more that the waitress try to convince me. It was a marinara sauce which she agreed later it was. They brought me what they say is a side of bolognese sauce, which for me was like a beef stew with large chunks of beef and large vegetables. Tasted as beef stew. The meatballs were ok. Judge by the pic. My wife, a direct Italian descendant order a pizza which was ok, no better than most places around, but with a fairly good crust. Got to give them that. On summary not a good experience."

"My first visit. Just walking in with scents from the kitchen telling me I was in for a treat. Amazing mid-price wine selection. We had calamari appetizer, 2 types of salad, homemade rolls, pizza, grouper, dessert & espresso. Each item was carefully prepared with tasty fresh ingredients. Kim provided our table with exceptional service but the entire wait staff seemed to provide friendly capable service. We cannot wait to go back!"

"Everything was really great. Kim was super attentive and polite to myself and all the tables surrounding me . Had the Chicken Marsala and side salad and portions were plentiful and delicious . Will return again for sure."

"Was a bit apprehensive going. For some reason I thought it was a more upscale place than we normally go to. Maybe because of the prices or the fact that their most common patrons are well off retirees. At any rate we gave it a shot. Loved the atmosphere. Very NY/PA deli which I liked. The bar area was cool with color changing lights. Food was pricey. Not used to sandwiches being $10 and being served with nothing, not even a pickle spear. The Ham & Cheese sandwich didn't say it had vinaigrette (very watery, next to no flavor) lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Neither did the server say that/ask if that was all ok. Not the norm in any restaurant to not have it mentioned at all. Not cool when people have allergies. Also wasn't asked if I wanted it hot or cold. The menu did not say sandwiches were hot. Server did come back after 5 minutes and immediately noticed something wasn't right & corrected it. Cold sandwich without that stuff was better but the bread just wasn't good. She kept up on drinks which is huge for us. The Stromboli was a hit with my husband. The dough lacked something for me personally but I couldn't put my finger on it."

"Eaten here a few times now. Food is always fresh and delicious. It is also very reasonably priced- especially nowadays when everyone is charging an arm and a leg, Roberto's is still providing excellent food at an affordable price. The picture with the post was of my last meal. I got the deep dish pizza with broccoli (I'm weird and like broccoli with red sauce on pizza). It was really good. My only complaint is that they are not closer to my house!"
