We went last night, four of us, arrived about 5:50 and placed our orders. We waited an hour for our food to come out, but it came out for one person at a time. Each of us had to wait in between at least 15 minutes before the other person got their food. Just very unorganized, food quality has gone down, and service is very low; unfortunately will not return.

I am SO sad that I didn't find this place two years ago when I moved here! The chicken artichoke lasagna is the BEST lasagna I have ever tasted, the stuffed mushrooms were divine and they made a custom pepperoni pizza for my kiddo that tops any we have ordered in town. It was not the gut bomb that Italian usually is, although the portions were hefty. I really hope the new owners are able to keep this place as fresh and delicious as it is. Pocatello needs to keeps this gem of a restruant!

This place was excellent. The food was great and the prices were very good. Sad to hear they are closing December 23rd

I have become addicted to this place! The zucchini appetizer & shrimp carbonara are AMAZING. It is definitely our favorite place to eat. 10++++ stars?

Maybe we just came on an off day, but it was not as amazing as we've heard.The food was fairly cheap, but it was also wet and sloppy. The cheese slid right off the pizza crust, and the lasagna sauce was like water. The garlic bread was dry, like day-old Walmart French bread, and the sauces that came with it were not well-flavored. The red sauce was super sugary, and the white sauce tasted like mayo.That being said, the service was great, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was fun-- well, besides the WWE playing on all the TVs.I think Villano's is probably a restaurant that was once great, but has forgotten how to produce quality food.I don't think I'll be going back, but I wish them the best!

Great place. We love eating here.

I loved my visit to Villano's! I ate their gluten free Hawaiian pizza. The gluten free crust was to die for I didn't feel sick after eating it and I have celiacs. I will definitely be there again.

The lobster Mac & Cheese is to die for!! Good lord, absolutely one of the best dishes I've ever had in my life! Lisa is the most sweetest person ever! Love her!

They were super busy and the staff were working so hard and had so much patience. Great food
Good food, friendly staff. We go here frequently. Be careful when ordering take out. It will be hot.

That. Was. Amazing. OMGWhen I moved to Pocatello, the last thing I expected to find was real, honest to goodness homestyle Italian food. And yet, here it is, tucked away downtown in a dive restaurant. What is it about dumpy looking restaurants? They always serve the best food and Villano's is no exception.Did my dinner companion and I really just pay $15 for Baked Chicken Caronbara and $13.50 for Chicken Artichoke Lasagna that will take at least three days to finish eating?Why yes...yes we did! HUUUGE portions and super inexpensive. Perfect for the students who live in this college town. And our meals were so good. Mmmmm mmm mmmmmmm. Both dishes were reminiscent of the homestyle garlicky Alfredo dishes found in Northern California.We also had the Stuffed Mushrooms appetizer and heaped them on top of our dinners. Villano's house sausage in the mushrooms is to die for. Tastes just like my own homemade sausage with lots of herby goodness. The chefs take their time cooking the sausage. Tiny crumbles without any large chunks...just the way I like it.The only complaint I have about the Alfredo dishes is there's way too much sauce. Some diners might like their pasta swimming in cheesy goodness, but I'm not that diner. The stuffed mushrooms would be just as tasty with about half the sauce. And the lasagna would benefit from less sauce and more pasta. Girth baby...girth! The lasagna needs some balance.Looking around at the other diners' meals...the pizzas and the red sauce pastas...still tasting the garlicky parmesiany goodness on my tongue...imagining what spaghetti and meatballs might taste like...oh yeh...I'll be back.

Ordinary looking both inside and out, but dang good food. Really enjoyed it. Service was very good (those two young gals worked hard, well done).Recommend!

We decided to walk old down town Pocatello and found this restaurant. It was amazing!!! My 3 picky eaters all loved it and asked if we could come back for dinner. The staff was super nice and the food was amazing!!

Our new favorite pizzeria in Pocatello! Great owners, friendly staff, low prices and excellent food. They offer really good daily specials and they even have a program to feed the less fortunate slices of pizza on behalf of the community and owners alike. That's way cool! My favorite menu item so far is the Gut Buster sandwich! But the pizza's are no joke either. We highly recommend you experience this place for yourselves.
