Oozing pillar bliss, this Villa Barone, (not to mistake this as the location in Throggs Neck) offers the most sought-after destination for meetings, weddings, social events- even hubs' grand niece's Sweet 16th we attended on a rainy Sunday. This Mahopac location has a grand bar as you enter and several function rooms that you can book and customize to suit your event based on your party size. The girl's family picked a room for about 100 people comfortably with adequate space to fill large oblong tables on each side of the room and a dance floor in between. The family brought their own decorations to zhusz up the space to their liking. Food options looked fresh and the fish in lemon sauce rocked big time. Simple, but for a party hall, it was done right and so was everything else that was hand-served buffet-styled. The family picked this space for a reason because they feel it's a radiant and beautiful space that made their event a hit.

Beautiful is an understatement. This place is amazing, the the service is incredible.read more

The tasting event sealed the decision for us, as the food was excellent. Our wedding went perfectly, without any issues other than my cousin splitting his pants dancing.

Bonnie was there to help us at any time during the whole year leading up to, and through the reception. Bonnie is excellent! The food was excellent! The venue is excellent.

The buildings look brand new, the lawns are well manicured, the rooms are simple (no coffee machine!) and totally quiet, and the place is HUGE. However, it looks like operations restarted recently and the hotel is not operating at 100%. For instance, while they do serve a good breakfast buffet, there is no restaurant to eat at other than a cafe that only serves beverages and snacks and closes at 2 pm. Also - and this is my favorite part - the hotel was 99% empty when I visited! That was such a trip! I walked and walked and saw almost no one, except for maybe two employees and a small group that seemed to be having some sort of corporate event nestled in a far away corner of the very large premises. I felt like I was in a feel-good episode of the Twilight Zone. I'd go back just to walk around the empty grounds. It was so cool!!! A very surreal experience that I enjoyed very much. Oh - I did eventually run into the bartender and ended up chatting with her for a few hours. She was lovely!

Our rooms were ready right when we got there so that we could drop off our bags. Food/drinks were plentiful throughout the entire conference; every time there was a break from our talks, there was a wide array of snacks set out for us outside the main auditorium. The food during the main meals was also pretty good. The accommodations were pretty nice as well. They have a lot of nice indoor and outdoor spaces for gatherings. There are lots of beautiful spots on the property to walk around and enjoy the nature scenery. Overall, I had a fantastic conference experience here!

We were there at 7:00 pm and they didn't start playing until 11:00 pm! That was far too long, some people in my group didn't even see them because they had to work the next day and were forced to leave by 10:00 pm. However, the venue was outstanding, for 50 dollars they served a beautiful and delicious buffet of food and apps that was outstanding. Absolutely delicious and served hot and fresh. They kept refilling the food until everyone ate. They served Chicken Marsala, sausage and peppers, egg plant rollitini, salad, baked potatoes, and the app station was packed with delicious charcuterie and cheese. The drinks were great and at only 6 dollars each they don't break the bank. The DJ was really good playing some great dance music and the staff were friendly and professional. I would definitely go back to this place again.

The ceremony was outside and we had a nice cocktail hour afterwards. The food was phenomenal, with passed hors d'oeuvres, mashed potato bar, and a carving station. The bartenders were very nice and accommodating. Some misses during cocktail hour included ice cold broccoli at the mashed potato bar, like they just took it out of the fridge. Some of the passed hors d'oeuvres did not have toothpicks to pick up the items. We adjourned upstairs for the reception and it was beautifully decorated. Our salads were waiting at our seats. The dinner was really good and we were happy with the food and the drinks. Unfortunately, the service was not good at all. I heard that this place shut down their golf course but are trying to open sections back up, so they've mostly been operating as an event space, which likely means they don't have permanent staff. In situations like this, the staff they have are usually doing the very bare minimum, which was noticeable. While the service staff was very nice, most didn't know what they were serving, which was a problem as some in our group had dietary restrictions. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if there's meat or seafood in whatever they're serving. The cocktail hour carving station was held up because the person manning it didn't have a knife. I visited the station three times and only found a steak knife (mixed in with butter knives) on my 3rd round. The servers also did not pass any food to the people standing on line for the bar. They were visiting people thta already were sat, eating food. It would have been nice to have a coconut shrimp while I waited for 10 minutes, for a drink. During the main reception, it took a very long time for them to clear plates and when they brought our first course, they served half of our table and then another person came out with plates and skipped our table, went to a different table, and the other half of ours had to wait until yet another person came out to finish serving. They took our silverware and we had to go to the kitchen to ask for replacements because they were never brought back to us, even when we asked the servers. I accidentally spilled a cup of water that took three of our napkins. I asked for replacement napkins and it took my husband going to the kitchen to to ask but they only had two napkins left and did not even think to offer paper napkins. By the time dessert was served, for at our table left for the evening. When they came around to give cake slices, I asked for one of each, and the server said that they didn't have enough - I pointed out that half of our table was gone so they could definitely allow me a second slice. I'm glad I asked bc the chocolate cake they originally gave me was too sweet for me but the extra vanilla slice was perfect. They left us with our cake and never gave us dessert utensils. We had to scavenge for them, from the place setting of those that left the event. The served coffee with no milk. Several other tables, including ours, had to ask for milk, and it took ridiculously long to get anything. As I said, the wedding was beautiful, the reception was fun, but that was mostly because of the the bride, groom, families, DJ and emcee. The venue, decor, food and grounds, were all great, but the service was so very bad. Hopefully once they've opened on a more regular schedule, they'll have more committed, permanent staff, that will represent the venue better.

Note- party planning review. Went here on Sunday January…read more26th 2025 with my family to look at places to book my dad's 60th birthday party. My mom also looked at this place for my sweet 16 in 2011. We live nearby, so a pro is that it is close for us. We met Amanda, who was very nice and showed us around the place. It has a beautiful open white room, both upstairs and downstairs. the room upstairs has a beautiful 4 wall bar that is located in the corner, and is used for the open bar. Amanda did a good job answering all of our questions. There were lots of options from having a breakfast/brunch, to a buffet style dinner, or a sit down dinner. We would have went with the sit down option, and they had lots of choices regarding food: A steak, a salmon, and chicken. We did ask what kind of chicken and steak there was and she found out for us. We were also able to pick 4 options of appetizers, and would get salad and pasta, as well as the entree and a cake. I thought it was a beautiful venue with big windows and gorgeous views of the golf course. very pretty. i also like that if we decided to go with this venue, they would offer food tastings so that we know how the food is before booking. restrooms were small with 2-3 stalls, but were very clean. Kudos to Amanda for also following up to my mom's email, where they accommodated a pricing request. Unfortunately, we decided to go with another venue with more food options. However would definitely consider here for another party!
