La Villetta

Food: Fantastic food, we had lots of dishes and each one very tasty. Calves livers, calamari, pasta and pizza dishes all wonderfully cooked and presented. Atmosphere: A beautifully understated environment that just makes the excellent quality of the food even more surprising and enjoyable. Great place for our large group - although you won’t be wowed by the internal design - you will end up loving it here. Service: Humble, professional and accommodating. We had an important crowd with us, that we hadn’t seen for a long time, and desperately wanted a happy and fun time. You gave it to us - Thank you.

Hard to beat the enthusiasm of the wait staff even if it is occasionally a bìť ĥam-hamhañded ɓy ĵunior newbies , the menu is well conceived & executed. Prices are reasonable. My only wish is that they should lose that 3٪$urchàrge for credit card usage . All told it's a solid 4 🌟 deal. BTW, the best dessert ever = limoncello sorbet.

We stopped an older gentleman in the neighborhood and asked him for a nice place to eat, and he recommended this place. We had a very nice experience. Even the outside tables had table cloths. The waiters were all reminiscent of Italy, and there were plenty of people to look after us. Best of all the food was great, I had rigatoni with mushrooms and sausage and my wife had mushroom ravioli with truffle cream sauce. We live in Tribeca, but we will come here again it’s a great little place. I forgot to tell you that it seems to be a neighborhood haunt, because a lot of people in the neighborhood came in for takeout. My wife also had gazpacho which was good as an appetizer my salad was acceptable.

The food is good and so is wine but would give one star for the cocktails. If you have them on the menu make sure you know how to the them , they were just average . The ingredients were not in the right proportions and they were missing an edge (ex: add zest to Negroni & serve over bigger ice cubes) .
