My wife and I absolutely love La Villetta. We have gone there every month or so for about two years and have never been disappointed. Incredibly wide variety of specials and regular menu items at very reasonable prices. Food is consistently delicious and staff is always friendly and professional. They never rush you and make you feel welcome, like family. Desserts are great too. This place is a hidden jewel in Farmingdale - we highly recommend it!

Fantastic anniversary dinner here tonight. The reviews are correct, this is a hidden gem. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was so delicious, we enjoyed every bite. Our thanks to the chef and the entire staff. See you soon!
Place seems to have been around for 40 years, with the same wait staff. Which I mean as a compliment. Classic Italian restaurant with experienced servers. Bread, cheese, bruschetta and olives served on the house. Nice cocktails, large list of specials, delicious home made dishes. Impeccable service. Fruit dish and sambuca served at no charge as well. Excellent restaurant.
It’s not the restaurant’s fault that a lady at the table next to us spoke so loud that I now know her mortgage, what she pays to store her boat, and how much $ she makes per hour. And her son’s name. And when he got married…
Some of the best Italian food I’ve had on Long Island. The room we were seated it in was very crowded, not to much room between tables. We often had people or waitstaff walk by and bump our chairs. Also I guess they allow people to vape, because the lady adjacent to our table was ripping her vape pretty consistently throughout our dinner. Some of the waitstaff are friendly, other not so much. We had a pretty long wait for our food as well, about 30 minutes, so plan on ordering appetizers and drinks to pass the time. The food is worth all the trouble though, we were both amazed at how good it was.
This is a great restaurant for families they have a room on the side. That is great for fourteen or fifteen people and we also had three babies that was just starting to walk They were very accommodating and the waiter and the whole staff was so friendly They have great wine and great food and a great atmosphere. We recommend it highly.
The food is fresh, classic Italian cuisine with the top notch service to go with it. Waiter has the specials memorized, stays attentive, and even combs the crumbs off the table. Whenever having Italian food it is important to have a drink. Villetta, has wines but often forgotten bar where you can order traditional cocktails, no frozen drinks; the cocktails are on spot. And there's parking in the back. Definitely a place to revisit as there are too many delicious dishes to try in one sitting. I recommend any of their meat dishes, they're all tender; nona wouldn't complain.
Was there sat night. Had special oysters rocker for app was outstanding. Had dinner special halibut with crab meat best i ever had. Wife had baked clams gave them a 10. Her main course of shrimp francese jumbo shrimp. Delicious. Our waiter Sergio was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant best on long island.
Very small and intimate. It’s a great break from loud and busy restaurants where you can’t even hear the person in front of you. The food was very good and felt very homemade. The servers were attentive and fast. Overall, it’s a cute date for two and the food was good too.
It was our first time here and definitely won't be the last. Great Atmosphere and service was top notch. The food was absolutely delicious, and that's putting it mildly. The servers made us feel like family. Wonderful experience. I highly reccomend
Loved the framed artwork and the Christmasy details.
The penne a la vodka was wonderful.
The fish was delicious.
Had a very fun party here. Can't wait to come back next year!
I happen to visit this place with my girlfriend on a Saturday evening just to get out. It was dimly lit for atmosphere and ambiance, which was fine. We were fortunate to get seating for two despite a nearly full attendance of patrons. Service was impeccable. The appetizer that night was mussels, which was very good to start with. Other than hot toasted bread and butter added was good as well (suggestion to the restaurant, olive oil to be added as a condiment for the bread). The main course meal, veal with mushrooms and veggies was my choice. My girlfriend had the codfish. Both mains were hot and tasty, thumbs up👍👍. She ended her meal with cappuccino while I chose to end with a dessert. The dessert, crème brûlée was ok. The torched sugar topping for the dessert was a bit thick like candy. Usually, it's thinner from other places I've attended that serve the same dessert. But looking forward to trying out their total menu.
We were there on Saturday 12/11/2021. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food was delicious and the service and staff was extraordinary. Will definitely go back. Loved it!
