Overall mediocre at best. We Used to be frequesnt this restaurant 20 years ago. It's gone from fine dining to middle of the road. Our waiter was decent - said everything fast and didn't explain what comes with the meal. The food was just ok. Salad fine but who dresses the salad those days without saying? My chicken with prosciutto, eggplant and mozzarella was tastey enough. Best part was the escarole! Service was slow.
Asked for a quiet table but got seated in the middle of the dining room next to a very long table party of 20. They were quite loud but it is what it is. Next time I will ask for a table in the corner

This local Italian restaurant is a true find, blending authentic flavors with warm hospitality. The menu takes you through Italy's culinary delights, offering dishes that satisfy both traditional and adventurous tastes. Each meal we've enjoyed has been superb, showcasing a genuine respect for traditional cooking. The staff stands out for their friendliness and attentiveness, making each visit feel like coming home. It's rare to find such quality at prices that don't break the bank, making every dining experience here not just a meal, but a treat. For anyone craving authentic Italian in a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must. We can't wait to return!

All was very good, noise level very high, food was very good, restaurant very busy which added to the noise level. Woody the valet guy was his usual joyful self, I like him a lot, give him a few extra bucks, deserves it!!!!

Great food, excellent service. Best place in bocaParking: Free valet
Seated at the back table after being told we would have the front window table for 6. I brought dear friends that were visiting from out of town and we dealt with a couple of near disasters as we were sitting right in front of the kitchen door. Not a good experience.
They have a nice selection of veal dishes. their octopus salad is the best and if you're around on Sunday, you can participate in Sunday dinner, which is a traditional Italian meal is as homemade as you could get anywhere. we have been eating there on and off for years.  they also have nicest valet attendant.

Wow! We were there for a family members 90th birthday. They are regulars there. Food was exceptional. Homemade lasagna the best I've ever had. Whole fish cooked and filleted tableside. Bread warm and homemade. Appetizers were phenomenal. Sal was a delight and the bartender made a fantastic dirty martini. the pistachio dessert finished off a memorable evening. We will be back!!!

The staff was so enthusiastic and Attentive. The food was excellent. Tables are nicely spaced so noise from other patrons is not a Problem. The decor is lovely. Homemade pasta was superb. All 4 of us enjoyed our dinners. Beyond the average Italian restaurant with creative menu. Chicken and veal dishes were delicious.
Once my go to restaurant especially for special occasions. Not so much any more. Made reservation for our anniversary which was never acknowledged so don't bother. Noise level is hideous. Boisterous group at nearby table didn't help but overall acoustics are poor. Waiters looked like they were on skates they were hurrying all the time we were there and possibly short handed. Our pasta and veal dishes as well as calamari appetizers were all excellent as usual but still pricey. Won't be back too many better options.

Sick of "family style" garlic houses that provide giant portion of lame Italian food? La Villetta is the answer. Superbly crafted dishes served by professional wait staff. What could be better. This neighborhood gem is perfect for the discerning palate equal to the price.

Too noisy. Very skimpy salad. Delicious veal chop and dessert. Overpriced. Overworked and rude waiter. Waiter and then the owner told us that another party was waiting for our table while we were still in the middle of having our dessert and coffee. We were at the restaurant for 90 minutes which is very reasonable for what is advertised as fine dining. Perhaps they should change the name to Mc Villetta.

It is a nice medium size resturant with a full bar. Very comfortable atmosphere, quiet very friendly and personable staff. Valet parking available. The food is excellent. Great assortment of specials including appetizer specials. You are getting a normal portion of quality fresh food for your dinner. April the bartender couldn't have been any nicer and attentive. Sal the manager was very personable and great host. Definitely a great experience and recommend for a date night or any intimate occasion to celebrate this is a great choice you won't be disappointed.
