First time visit. Staff could not have been more welcoming and pleasant. Water was quickly refilled. Good food choices, both our choices were very good. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, they brought us a surprise panna cotta and limoncello. Will definitely return.

Food is great, and service is even better. They are so accommodating, my kids don’t eat anything but pizza so we asked if we can bring pizza in for our kids, they went extra mile and ordered the pizza for us and served it like it was part of menu. Packed house, 30 minute wait for a table on a TUESDAY, meanwhile they are in an unassuming location... they are doing something right.

Incredible Italian restaurant with amazing food and service. You're treated like family here and even though it's a small place they will always try to fit you in even if it's a last minute reservation. I got the Veal Chop Parmesean which wasn't on the menu but if you ask them they can do it. This place is a must.

After dining here just once it quickly became our favorite restaurant! Everything here is done as it’s supposed to be done. Haven’t had a bad meal yet and don’t expect to. Food is always delicious and they do their best to accommodate requests. The service is top notch and they always make their customers feel like family. The service, lighting, music, and food are all done right. As someone that had worked in the restaurant business for over twenty years, I highly recommend Il Piccolo Villagio. Thank you to everyone that works there for making each visit an enjoyable one.

It’s been a joy to watch this place evolve since its humble beginnings with just around 20 reviews. Every visit has solidified our belief that this restaurant is an exceptional find in the local dining scene. From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance welcomes you, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. The most remarkable aspect of this place, aside from its delightful food, is the customer service. The staff is genuinely friendly, attentive, and eager to share their passion for food with every guest. It’s clear that they take pride in their work, which elevates the dining experience to new heights. Now, let’s talk about the food—specifically, the home-made pastas that have become a signature of this establishment. They are nothing short of spectacular. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully crafted, each dish showcases the artistry of the chef. What I find particularly impressive is the flexibility they offer: if there’s something you desire that isn’t listed on the menu, they are more than willing to accommodate special requests. This dedication to customer preferences goes above and beyond, ensuring that every palate is satisfied.

I recently visited this charming Italian restaurant and was blown away by the incredible food and warm atmosphere. The head cook, Victor, came out to greet us and it immediately felt like we were part of the family. The homemade pasta was to die for, and the flavors were truly authentic. The service was top-notch and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a welcoming environment. Five stars all around! Chicken parm is to die for !!

Went with my family for my dad's birthday yesterday. The oysters and linguine with clam sauce were excellent. The staff is also very friendly and the chef thanked us for coming, which was very nice! It was a great experience. We will be back!
