OK - I'll say right up front I had a reasonably OK meal at this place once. It was about 2 years ago (2006). The food was expensive and the service was poor, but the food was pretty good. The place has definitely gone downhill. The first time we had a lousy experience here, I thought it was a fluke.... more

you don't know anywhere else to go. I live in lutz and am Italian. I have had more authentic italian food at the local bbq place. I have tried repeatedly to give them a second and third chance, but each and every time it's the same. I have eaten their osso bucco, Pizza, Appetizers, garlic bread and pastas and can... more

Where do I begin? I don’t think that I’m allowed enough space here to put all the details of everything that was wrong about dinner here, so I’ll put it in a nutshell for you.

Reliable, tasty food. Nothing great, but nothing bad either. Better, however, than chain restaurants. more

I have eaten at Villagio approximately eight times over the last four months. I have never had a bad meal here, nor have any of my guests. I even celebrated my birthday here in early November with a group of 10 people and the owner went out of his way to ensure we had a great meal, even showing us... more

We just spent over $800.00 on a group luncheon at Villaggio's. The service was a little less than adequate, and the owner extorted a 40% gratuity from us. Then called he called me a cheat and a thief in front of one of my guests. As I was leaving he barked like a dog at me. If you are into... more
