The food is the same, pizzas, salads, sandwiches, some main courses but the pricing went up for the same items in 2012. For the money available to spend on dining out you would get more bang for your buck by dining elsewhere.

We had lunch there three times from early winter to the beginning of April 2013. The first time I reacted badly to the spicy crabcakes, but wrote it off as one of those things that happen in life. My wife's lunch was fine. Now the not so good. The marinated antipasto salad indicated beans among other things. No beans. The... More

We have eaten here a few times and have always had a good meal. It is very small and can be very busy for dinner. The food is very good but the service is exceptionally slow. Seems like it takes forever to get your meal. If you are in a hurry, this is not the place to go.

We had lunch there last week. Food was good but small servings. Husband had spaghetti with sausages- tasty but serving bowl was small; poor presentation. I had roasted pear salad; delicious. Excellent! Also ordered the truffle fries; disappointing. Didn't have that deep round truffle taste- in fact, potatoes were bitter. We have also been there for dinner and found it... More

High quality food well prepared. I can't stop thinking of the smoked cheddar alfredo!!!! It is in a small strip maul but don't let that fool you nice atmosphere inside.

We were in Vermont, visiting old friends so wanted a place with a varied menu, delicious food and quiet enough at lunch time that we could visit without having to raise our voices to hear each other. La Villa filled the bill to perfection. There were four of us, and there was enough variety to satisfy all desires: Prince Edward... More

I went with a large group of girlfriends earlier this month. The staff was extremely accommodating (even going so far as to do separate checks at our request at the beginning of the meal). The entrees were varied and beautiful. Most of us had wine and they had several tasty glasses for just $5 each! Several girls had salads and... More

We were lured in by a restaurant.com discount coupon, and La Villa was a good choice. A bit fancier than we were expecting ( I guess we thought an Italian restaurant that served pizza wouldn't be that fancy). The chef has true gourmet aspirations. The mussels we ordered as an appetizer were probably his best effort. But the pasta dishes... More

Our gift card (no expiration date ) is a couple years old, however, the toll free phone # we called indicated an open balance of $50. This restaurant would not honor it saying they had changed their "accounting system". To me this is poor customer relations and does not promote good will. We are local. We left. We won't ever...

Hi there, I'm sorry your gift card was not honored when you came to our restaurant. The orange one you presented is at least seven years old. We changed processors in 2004 and had the information on your card transferred to a new service and then in 2010 we switched our system to an in-house managed card program. We kept... More

Food is nothing fancy but tasty, and better than most chain restaurants in town. However, bread was so so, i used a restaurant.com gift cert and they charged me a 20% instead of a 18% gratuity like stated on the coupon.

We have been accepting Restaurant.com certificates for more than two years now. I'm sure the additional tip taken was human error and not malicious. I apologize for this inconvenience and hope to see you again soon. Thanks for dining with us, we really appreciate it. Adam More
