Great, simple Italian American standards, especially the pizza and eggplant dishes. The best homemade salad dressing anywhere. Friendly, family-like service. Excellent prices.
Not great, not bad. VERY nice people with great service. Sat on the restaurant side in a booth & probably should've gone through to the bar side because the ambience on this side was quite bright, like a church social hall. I recommend you try the bar side, more conductive to a quiet dinner in our opinion. Pastas were just ok. Wouldn't rush back.

First time there. Reminds me of my grandfather's restaurant from the '60s. It was called Ponza's on 8 mile in Detroit. Same authentic Italian taste and hospitality.

Great food, but they’re stingy with it, which I find off-putting. I’ve never been to an Italian restaurant, ordered an antipasto salad, and ended up with a mound of iceberg lettuce, two strips of salami and two strips of cheese. I thought it was mistake, asked our server and she informed me that, nope, that’s the antipasto. They’re aren’t permitted to put any more than what was in front of me unless we’re charged extra. I just read another review here where someone paid for a high-priced drink then couldn’t taste any alcohol.Can’t do that to people, and expect them to come back. They’ve been around a long time, and have their regulars, of course, but for people who are either new or only visit once in awhile? It’s just not what you do.One time, awhile back, my mom and I went to a new Middle Eastern restaurant we’d been meaning to try. We got an order of hummus, and they brought it out with no pita. So we’re waiting, and waiting, and when our server finally wandered over, I let her know that we were still waiting on pita for our hummus. She was confused, as we hadn’t ordered any pita. We were stunned to discover that pita, or any kind of bread at all, did not come with the hummus! That’s.. like… unheard of. What are we supposed to do? Eat it with a spoon? So we ordered a side of friggin pita, waited, and received PRECISELY two triangles of pita each. We never went there again.Save money in other ways, in other areas, not at the expense of your customers. Don’t skimp on food, and cheat people out of the meal they came for. That is just so… no. Especially these days at these prices. A customer should never feel like they’re helping you pay your electric bill.C’mon, Villa. What’re you thinking?

Great food, great service and friendly staff. You must eat here. This place has been here since the 50's. Still going strong with the same people. That speaks tons of their longevity.
I've been to the Villa a few times but I might not be back. The trio was terrible ?. Parmesan chicken was overcooked and bland, lasagna noodles were undercooked I had to use a knife to cut through. The Alfredo had some flavor to it. But y'all should stop giving people slices of loaf bread that's not
