Willie has consistently had fantastic food since he bought Villa d'Este from the original owner about 30 years ago.
Last night I had the cold seafood salad for an appetizer followed by brook trout with sliced almonds in a lemon and white wine sauce that was exquisite. For dessert I had the zabaglione which is a custard made of confectioner's sugar Marsala wine and egg yolks blended in a double boiler, this custard is poured over strawberries blueberries and vanilla ice cream. It's like heaven in a goblet. And I washed it down with a double expresso. Keep up the great work Willie, I look forward to seeing you again and again and again.
Had my daughters bridal shower here and it was wonderful! The food is great the place is so pretty and the service is great they can't do enough for you. I highly recommend it,it's a awesome place!

Had my niece's Bridal shower on Sunday! Food and service was excellent!!
Been going to this place for over 40 years and it is always great!
Food was delicious and the service was great. I recommend Cesar Salad, stuffed mushrooms, fried calamari and we have two specials of the house that include salmon and the other meal I don't remember the name 😅.
A little bit of the old world Italian by way of Argentina. Gentle, continental well-paced service, and delicious food!

This place exceeded my expectations. The waitstaff are very friendly and the food was delicious. I will be coming back.
If you are looking for an unbelievable experience surrounded by beauty the Villa d'este is it. Truly heaven on earth. The grounds are magnificent and the staff goes out of their way to make sure you are well taken care of. A place where memories are made.
Absolutely incredible location, staff, service and hospitality. Would recommend to ANYONE looking for the best of the best.
Elegant, quiet great atmosphere and great service and on top of it the most delicious food ever.. I cannot say enough of this place, we stumbled across it and never went back to our other Italian spot. Everyone is very friendly and polite. Love it!!!

Amazing place. Food is excellent, I suggest bringing an appetite when going there. I have known William the owner and the staff for many years. Nicest people, extremely friendly.
Classic Italian American food. The sauce is good, the dishes are very traditional but there are some good specials if your adventurous. The staff is exceptional. This is a neighborhood place that treats everyone like family.
When you walk into the restaurant,you are greeted and treated like family as you are escorted to the table and your chair pulled out for you as you're seated. Water and assorted breads are served as you peruse their menu. Drink order is taken and served promptly. The waiter shares the specials for the evening. Also, there's a price- fixed menu- appetizer, main entree,and dessert. Then, your order is taken. The appetizers come out and your main entree is brought out at a later date. You're never rushed through the meal. My appetizer was egg plant rollatini which was out of this world. Main entree was penne bolognese. Dessert was tiramisu. Cappuccino was excellent! Definitely, a place to return time and again.
I went to this northern Italian restaurant with a group of friends. The food was very good. I had a chicken dish, which was well made and had plenty of garlic. The pasta was delicious. There is a variety of appetizers. All very delicious. The service was impeccable.
Excellent food. Highly recommend it! It was my aunt's favorite, and after she passed I keep going back. Service is great.
Came here for my father's retirement dinner, the food was great and the service was fantastic. It was our first time here, definitely have plans to return again.

Picked up mom over at North Shore Towers for a Birthday dinner. Although she'd lived there for years she had never been to Villa D'Este nearby and was thrilled that we picked a spot she hadn't already been to a thousand times. Quick 5 minute drive, easy parking out back. Beautiful, reserved ambience, relaxed, professional service with a very pleasant greeting. Nice comped bruschetta and some really excellent house pinot and chiantis, generously poured at only $10/glass. Awesome bread basket with red hot, house baked foccacia to start things off. The starters, memorably the baked clams, stuffed mushrooms and a pitch perfect Caesar were all on point. Mains were generously portioned and all outstanding; standouts were the first rate, thin, crisp veal parm, the grilled angus/NY Strip ordered Pizzaiaola (smothered in mixed peppers, onions, mushrooms and red gravy), the pastas and the fish. Mom had the Prix Fixe which was an absolute steal at $31, three courses plus sides included! The tartuffo dessert was the best I'd ever had, a perfect chocolate covered Bocce Ball stuffed with cherries and nuts, dressed with house made whipped cream. Wow.
As a 3d Generation New Yorker, now living in Brooklyn it was nice to escape the rip-offs and pretensions of Manhattan and Brooklyn dining and to enjoy a delicious, reasonably priced relaxed meal at a place which still values "hospitality". Villa D'Este is approaching it's 50th Anniversary. In an extremely competitive, fickle dining environment it's easy to see why they've lasted so long.
