The place consistently has great nyc Italian comfort food.  This time I tried the Salmon affrogato in a nice light white wine sauce with a side of whole wheat fettuccine.  Everything was delicious and I would order again.  Great company, wine, food and service.  What can be bad. More...

I made dinner reservations for Friday evening but the work day commute went longer than anticipated and 30 minutes before the reservation time, I called to advise them we might be 30 minutes late. I was told by 'Uncle Joe" NOT to worry, they would hold our table. That was when I knew this neighborhood gem restaurant was going to be a good experience. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and seated at our table. Our server approached and welcomed us and took our cocktail and appetizer order. The Shrimp Cocktail had 5 jumbo shrimp and were served w a cocktail sauce that contained just the right horseradish for our liking with a 'slight bite' that complimented the Shrimp. The martinis were made to our specification and I liked that they left the shaker at the table to allow us the choice to pour the balance.   For dinner, I ordered one of the specials of the day "scallops over risotto' with a tangy mango sauce, my fiancé ordered the Chicken Marsala. The scallop dish contained 6 large scallops and were cooked to perfection. The Chicken Marsala was one of the best my fiancé has ever had. He commented "Better than his Nona made".  Since the portions were so generous for our main meal; we split the lava cake for dessert. It was served warm and gooey (like it should be) with a dollop of vanilla cream.  We also enjoyed two cappuccinos. After dessert, we didn't want to linger and take the table any longer (although we were not rushed out) but were having such a nice evening that we decided to have an after dinner drink at the bar as we saw two seats were open. At the bar, there was a nice group of folks we visited with while enjoying an espresso martini and baileys. If you are looking for a location that provides quality food, good service, with a pleasant atmosphere,Villaggio is THE place More...

We've been enjoying dinners ar Villaguko for several years now and highly recommend then to everyone! The food is by far the best Itailan food around. The sauce is amazing and the portions are perfect The restaurant has an upscale ambiance but the prices are reasonable. The drinks are fantastic and the service is exceptional. Joe the owner is a gentleman and Bobby the head waiter is one of the best out there! Whenever we come back from a vacation we treat ourselves to delicious dinner and drink(s) at Viilagio. We just don't encounter the quality food and service that they provide anywhere we go and we travel alot! More...

We traveled to Queens from Eastern Long Island in order to drop off our sister-in-law in Whitestone. We researched a few restaurants in Whitestone including this one and we were very glad that we chose this one. Superbly prepared food and great wait service. We will probably travel in again just to eat here More...

I wrote a previous review for this place and had given it 3/5 stars, mostly taking issue with the staff not being very attentive. This time around we had a different server and she was extremely friendly and kind, perfect service. I had a caesar salad with grilled chicken, it tasted extremely fresh and was very enjoyable. I also had a meatball appetizer which tasted fine but kind of tasted cold like it had just come out of the fridge. Personally I don't hate that, but I'm sure most people want their food served hot.Overall a good visit, the family will be back in the future. More...

Recommended by a relative who lives nearby and is a frequent diner here. I have actually been here once before 2 years ago. The food is really excellent. All homemade on the premises. The service is terrific too. Very attentive without being intrusive. Management checks in on you to see if all is well too. This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in New York. Good prices, plenty of choices for all types of eaters. Apparently they no longer have their pizza oven, so that's one less choice. Nice bar area as you enter and then steps up to the sedate dining room. More...

Villaggio never disappoints. We went for a Christmas dinner a few days before Christmas with some family members who live far away. We were about 18 of us. Appetizers we ordered were Fried Calamari, baked clams, and eggplant rollatine. They were so delicious and fresh! Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. We all ordered pasta which was excellent. Soon after that our main course was served. Filet Mignon, Chicken Francese and Filet of Sole is what the majority of my family ordered. While all were cooked to perfection, the filet mignon was what they raved about the most. My mom who is a picky eater (pickier than me) said that the meat was tender and delicious. I had the Francese which was mouth watering.
For dessert, I highly recommend the tiramisu and a cappuccino coffee.

What a great overall experience. Do you know how tough it is to please 18 Italians who are experts in the kitchen? Villaggio is just about the closest thing you’ll get to home authentic Italian cooking. The way nonna made it!

You will love it as much as my family did.

They have an excellent selection of pasta, meat and fish dishes to suit your taste. Bobby is an amazing waiter and will help you with your selections of wine, your entrée and dessert.

Excellent customer service.  The food was amazing. The prices are very reasonable.  We went with a group of 9 on mother's day with a last minute reservation. Which is impossible to find a place. We got there an hour early in hopes of Maybe getting seated by our reservation time and they were ready for us. Highly recommend this place.  The manager and all the staff  were very friendly and welcoming. We have found ourselves a new favorite place. More...

Dear Joe Locissano,First off, the Asian HOST who greeted us messed up our night from the jump by not offering us another prime table as we missed our reserved table by 20 minutes. Come one, we missed our reservation by 20 minutes (it's not like it was New Year's packed) and subsequently, were shuffled off into some nook and cranny of the establishment restaurant (isn't that you why you make reservations so you can avoid this ). We have frequented an amazing Italian place in Williamsburg, and having just moved here to Whitestone, we followed word of mouth and social media to end up at Villagio's doorsteps.  Before I jump into the amazing food, I need to get back to this 'host' and let everyone know she is rude and obnoxious (she didn't offer my wife a reciprocal "Your welcome, and enjoy!!" when she came to drop off her Baileys, even after my wife thanked her. She was totally off from the moment we stepped into the door and to add fury to the ire, she had the audacity to roll her eyes at me when we left (my wife told me this and believe me, she doesn't miss much). My wife was ready to lay it on her and would have had there been been fewer patrons there (everyone deserves an uneventful Saturday  night pre-Halloween week dinner, right? Why ignite when you can diffuse )To Juan, our server and a nice man, she is the reason I left you 13% on our bill and not my usual 20. Get the other 7 percent from her.The food, outstanding, as advertised. The wine, amazing. The chocolate soufflé What Legendary. The host, her cavalier attitude, and obnoxious demeanor need repair. We will pass by again but it will not be because of her. Nonetheless, I do hope you recall who we are because the next time we come, we hope to get recognized so we can bring this glaring lapse in hospitality and service to light. Your a local village restaurant with great reviews. Not an airport newspaper stand that no one remembers the next day. Your mergers and greeters should be as on point as your movers and shakers Can I have some more of that soufflé? Kudos to the chef!! More...

I missed this classic neighborhood staple. It must have been six years since my last visit. My rating is relative. I'm not putting Villagio up against the greats. But relative to other restaurants within New York City neighborhoods, Villagio stands tall. The chicken parm was very good as was the arugula salad and the side of sauteed broccoli rabe. Price points were reasonable for the type of food and location. Service was good. I'd return... More...

I can't believe it took so long for me to dine at Villaggio. I live 2 miles away, have driven past it numerous times but never thought to try it until I read the reviews on Yelp.   The reviews were correct. This is a gem and I will be returning soon. The service is personal and attentive and the food was delicious. I felt like I was in an Italian friend's house for dinner.    Here is what we had for dinner and I highly recommend all of these dishes. We started with two apps - grilled shrimp & calamari and the special salad. For dinner we had the chicken rollotini and the salmon afogatto with a side of escarole with cannellini beans.    The portions are generous so we didn't have room for dessert.  Next time I want to try one of their brick oven pizzas.

Excellent place to go eat some quality Italian food in the Whitestone/Bayside/Malba area. Food was great and well portioned. I couldn't even finish my pasta dish, and when I heated it up the next day it was just as good as it was fresh out of the kitchen. I sat down with my date at the bar after my dinner for a couple of drinks and the bartender (Jasmine) was wonderful, very kind and accommodating. Service was overall great and the food was even better. Great spot to take a date. I will definitely be coming back here. More...

Plus: their wines by the glass are really good and the brick oven pizza is yummy. Free parking never hurts either. More...
