I am a pretty tough critic when it comes to Italian food, and while I enjoyed myself here it didn't knock my socks off. I was happy to have the house wine which is quite a large pour (caraffe) at $7. My friend and I shared the avocado/tomato special salad which was okay. Then we had one of the sicilian pizzas with vegetables, which was definitely tasty and filing. We couldn't leave without ordering the Nutella calzone which was pretty delicious. I need to go back and try some more items. Service was very attentive and they checked in with us at every course.
Standing room only on a Saturday night but we (table for 2) get seated immediately while other waiting diners angrily look on.
Water and onion focaccia bread comes immediately then the waiter to order drinks. The blood orange Italian soda is delish!
Insalata caprese is refreshing with cherry tomatoes, roasted peppers, mozzarella, and just the right amount of olive oil.
Calamari all'arrabbitta is delicious. The waiter rec mixed in but possible to get sauce on the side. The calamari gets naturally soggy from the sauce but it's all about the spicy sauce.
Focaccia della nonna waiter rec deep dish which was buttery and crisp. Half we got original bc he rec but the side with mushrooms and carmelized onions was also amazing!
Tiramisu was also delish!
Would def come back!
I am torn between a 3 or 4 star review for La Villa. The food was spectacular and the aroma of wood fire cooked pizza is great when you enter. The host was nice and very friendly to my entire family and relatives visiting from overseas. Came here for a late lunch on a weekend and the place wasn't packed full, but a good amount of tables were seated and filled. Here's where the bump on the road to the 4 star review begins. Once seated, our server was nowhere to be found. It took over 10 minutes before we were given water, bread and the menus. Keep in mind that 10 minutes is a long time for very hungry people. It was difficult to flag anyone for assistance as they were nowhere to be seen in the dining area. I guess there were cutting firewood for the oven or doing work in the kitchen, whatever the reason, no one was around to help. Every time we needed something (such as requesting for more water/napkins, making an additional order, and even getting the check) it took much more time and effort than it should've.
Eventually we got the server and made our orders. The pizza came out hot and steaming. Without a doubt the pizza is delicious and worth another visit. The meatballs were also delicious and a good size. Good texture consistency throughout the meatball. I just wish they had better service. Hopefully on a future visit things will be better and I can update this to a 4 star review.
Just had to update my review with even more positivity, I haven't came in for sit down dinner in quite some time, so I figured I'd stop in since its been a while. I usually am always working so much an on a time schedule that I order Togo.
As I stated in my prior review my boys love their pizza pies an I can't get enough of their onion bread. When I come Brian is the sweetest he always shows us so much love, he's definitely one of a kind. Amazing man!!
My service was outstanding my food was perfect.
Very great dinning in experience as always thank you all for the great service an food
An Brian thank you for the complimentary appetizer it was very nice of you.
Thanks la villa
I've been frequenting La Villa for roughly a year without telling my friends about my little secret.
Last night my husband wanted good Pizza and so I told him I have this place in Park Slope that's the real deal. Of course husbands never believe their wives when it means travelling 20 minutes to pizza, so for the duration of the car ride him and my friends in the back seat made sure to threaten that if this is not the best pizza they've had, they would never forgive me.
We walk in to La Villa and get greeted by a friendly staff telling us the Maitre De will be with us in just a moment. While we're waiting, Jose at the bar asks if we'd like to sit in the VIP section where he can serve us. Of course we love good service so we took our seats at the bar.
Jose is THAT employee that all businesses wish for. We came in wanting just pizza and somehow he managed to, very charmingly, get us to order a million other things. Don't mistaken this for a complaint, this was the perfect night with the real deal Italian pizza.
We ordered the Focaccia della Nonna pizza, Eggplant Parmesan, Salad, Wine, Beer, Desserts.
Everything we ordered was per Jose's recommendation. I cannot begin to tell you how on point he was with deciding what each of us would enjoy. Especially with my wine. He picked the perfect red for me.
If you need a solid eggplant parmesan that tastes a tiny bit like chicken, (It's that good) this is the place to get it at. We ravaged that plate as if it was the last eggplant on earth.
The pizza, as per the boys, was seemingly incredible. They couldn't stop thanking me and praising me for getting them seriously good Pizza.
From start to finish, this was a meal fit for the best. Service at La Villa is absolutely top notch and the food, well— there was nothing left on our plates. So that answers.
Amazing Italian food! We have been here every time we have visited Brooklyn. The pizza and pasta dishes are so delicious. The staff is fun and attentive. If it's not too warm, the back patio is delightful.
There are also some weird characters in their "backyard" to look at while you dine! I think they are props from old plays…
Horrible customer service!
Waiter shouted at me, gave me a really difficult time with my order. Very inappropriate and unprofessional.
Deeeeelish!!! La Villa is definitely one of my favorite eateries on 5th Ave in Park Slope. It's definitely one of those places that when I enter I know what to expect. I know I can always expect great service, excellent food, and an overall pleasant dining experience.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The decor is clean and sleek. The menu is extensive including salads, pizzas, pasta dishes and more. The last 2 times I've been to La Villa I've ordered the exact same thing…homemade meatballs and calamari! Each dish has been prepared to perfection. I've also had the lasagna and tried a slice of my boyfriend's pizza. I've been impressed with everything consumed here except the complimentary bread provided at each table. The only thing wrong with the bread is that it had onions on it; I'm sure anyone who likes onions will love the free bread.
The service is consistently friendly, knowledgable, and attentive. I'll definitely be back and next time I'm trying the pizza!
