About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
The spirit of Pizzeria Villaggio can be traced back to our traditional roots in Campobasso, a humble town filled with beautiful people in Southern Italy. Pizzeria Villaggio has been run by the Palladino family since opening in 1986. Borrowing our grandparent’s secret recipes and adopting their love of good authentic food, combined with the Italian values of creating a great family atmosphere for all age groups, has contributed to our success and longevity. We have a dedicated & friendly team who are passionate about using high-quality ingredients to produce delicious Italian food.

    Arrived early and off hand waiter said "you're early, we're not ready you'll have to wait" despite there being empty tables. They were busy and wanted a family party to go so they could split the table to a 4 and a 2. Eventually day down under a speaker on a shelf above table. Loud thumping music which nobody was listening to. Eventually got this turned down but not off. Waitress took food order but didn't wait for drinks. Food was good but evening(my birthday) spoilt by staff lack of professionalism.

    Sat in the outside conservatory as we had our small dog with us. It was rather cold but the patio heaters weren’t on. The food was pleasant. We had a sharing platter followed by individual meals. I had the marinara bolognese which was tasty and plenty of large prawns. Our booking was for 5pm and we were told they needed the table back for 7pm with a 15 min warning which was fine. As we left it was getting very busy.

    As usual food was great but service, though pleasant was very slow due to the number of people booked in.

    When arriving, the noise level did hit us quite a lot. There was a children’s party so understandable. As the evening went on, it all turned into an enjoyable buzz. Food and staff were first class. Nothing too much trouble. Definitely will be back.

    We booked last minute and we were able to get a table. We sat outside and it was lovely, they had large standing heaters (even though the sun was still up there was chill) but these heaters were great. The staff were friendly and approachable, then the main event was the food, Wow, is all I’ve got to say.. my wife had the calamari to start and there was a good portion of this and I had the spicy sausages, all I can say is that if I was home I would have licked the plate.. then to the mains my wife had the carbonara and I the pizza (with goats cheese) and again another wow! The taste was exceptional.. anyone booking here for any occasion will not be disappointed.. thank you for a lovely evening!

    Exceptional food and service, it took us a long time to find but it's certainly on our shortlist of favourite places to eat. Great to see families with young children enjoying themselves eating proper,healthy food.
