We really like this little neighborhood restaurant. The food was good, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The sauce was really nice and well-seasoned. The salad was fresh, but the tomato vinaigrette was a bit too acidic for me. The bread is very tasty, but it gets chewy after a few minutes, maybe because it's heated in the microwave?! (Im assuming). The lady that served was polite, ambiance is ok i mean is a small restaurant. You sit , eat , pay and out! Overall, I'd go back -- especially for the pasta! P.s. Forgot to take pic of the tiramisu which btw it is reallyyyy goood!! read more

Had a seminar at this little place and it wasn't too bad! Our server was really nice and she was quick to give us refills on our drinks. I got the chicken Alfredo and my husband got the chicken parm. Both were good but not the best we've had! Chicken Alfredo (3/4) Chicken parm (4/4) I like the tomato vinaigrette that the house salad came with and the garlic bread was okay! It's a good little Italian place for the area read more

This place needs to get their online ordering together. This is 2nd I've placed an online order and it hasn't been ready, in fact it wasn't even started yet. I thought they would at least offer me a drink or a free dessert for having to wait but only offer a 20% discount next time, which I doubt there will be a next time, so they should've focused on offering something in the moment, but oh well. the purpose of having to do it online and not calling it is to save time , especially when one's on a lunch break. I'm just going to try Joe's or Napoli's next time read more

Fantastic. Food. They delivered themselves. No issues. Pizza. Chicken Parm, all good. read more

We have been customers of Italian Villa since 1995. Recently every time we order a pizza for pick-up it's either so raw in the center or the crust is so thin that it doesn't exist at all. It's pretty much soup. We are so dissatisfied that we may have to quit ordering pizza. Tony, whoever is tossing the dough may need a refresher course, because you never put out pizza like this. read more

This place was happy to accommodate us during graduation season for a large party and I'm super grateful! The downside is subpar food for a pretty expensive price, would suggest going during the lunch special time and even then you can't get a lot of the speciality items just basic Italian. The head waitress has great service and was happy to take care of us. Wish I could give 3.5! read more

Low quality food at an okay price. - kids lasagna is a joke. Looks like a single piece of pasta with tomato sauce and cheese melted on it. About one tablespoon worth of food for $7.50. - veal parm tasted like nothing - chicken Murphy was good but small All portion sizes were small. I don't recommend this place if you're hungry. read more

Moved into Allen just a day ago and saw this place only a short half mile walk away. Being an avid Italian fan and looking for a good meal after unloading all my stuff into my new apartment I was famished and definitely looking for a good sized meal, and boy was I treated with exactly what I was looking for. Their Penne alla Vodka was just what I needed after all my hard work earlier, and my server was constantly checking on if my tea needed to be refilled. Overall, exceptional service, exceptional food, and you can be sure I'll be a regular from here on. Looking forward to more great food there! read more

This has become our favorite inexpensive Italian restaurant in Allen. Always great food, especially the veal piccata, and Shannon always gives us great service. Love the $4.00 corkage fee, too!! read more

$20-30 Place a delivery order around 8:25pm. Whoever took my order told me it will take about 25 mins. 9:14 I call the restaurant and the "manager" in charge told me they had about 6 orders and I had to wait. I'm about 1mile away from the restaurant. Food was cold. (Pizza was cold, salad was wilted and not salad dressing and the garlic bread was cold and hard as rock). Call the manager and she point blank asked me to bring the food back so they can refund my money or they can make just the pizza again. In the mean time she said the driver was back to the restaurant. Less than 5 minutes after he left my place. So how can the driver be back in less than 5mins to the restaurant but it took them one hour to deliver my food??? Further more the "manager" said that I was trying to scam the restaurant. I have been ordered food from them for the past 3 years with no incidents. And this is what I got as response from the owner. Which I was never disrespectful or mean to the employees read more

My family and I have been eating here for decades. Hands down the best Italian food! I love their chicken piccata, manicotti, and the veal Parmesan sub sandwich. Their house dressing for the salad is perfection! And you won't find a better Alfredo sauce. Shannon is the best server, and I love how she always writes on the to-go box what food is inside and the date! read more

It meets the requirements, food is pretty decent and not too heavy, and they also give free bottomless bread thankfully.

Two words sum up my experience at Italian Villa in Allen Texas. Those two words would be Simply Wonderful. I was craving Italian food, so I Google. Italian near me. Italian Villa was only 6 minutes from were I was, so I took the recommendation. I walked in the door and was instantly greeted with a warm hello. Cadence was my server and she was fantastic. I started with the Fried Mozzarella and I honestly could have stopped there. It was exceptional. I then ordered the lunch special and tried the Manicotti and the Chicken Alfredo. Both were delicious, however the Chicken Alfredo was my favorite:) It was so creamy with just the right amount of dried oregano, onion powder and salt and pepper. Whenever I'm craving Italian food again, I will definitely go back to Italian Villa. read more

the bread from there had a weird taste as if it went bad. I was craving garlic bread and it was just not it unfortunately. The inside is nice but small. Service was decent. read more

We got the chicken marsala and the Chicken Murphy. We also paid for 2 Tossed House Salads and garlic bread. The flavor of the sauce for both entrées was outstanding! The problem is that they failed in an epic way on the protein. Both dishes, the chicken was severely overcooked and very very tough. The pasta was excellent but the star of the dish is supposed to be the chicken and it was inedible. The tossed salad with house dressing: The house dressing is again excellent. The salad was severely lacking in every way. Very little lettuce. A small tomato wedge and that's it. Oh and a pepperchini. We ordered pickup and the plasticware requested was missing. The food temp was great but had the entre sauces not been exceptional, this would have been a 1-2 star review. we will try once more and give them a second chance. Truly hoping for redemption. For now: *** Maybe Good for dine in where you can send back a subpar meal but NOT RECOMMENDED for carry out **** read more

Linguini Parmigiano was the best I have ever had. The homey family type atmosphere brought in lots of Italian families and those who like to find comfort in eating family style. The service is always great here...you never sit waiting with nothing to eat. The bread is great! read more

Just okay. We came here for a party and our host had rented out a back room. I have to say, the staff did a really wonderful job accommodating everyone. It was a large group of around 30 people and I was impressed at how well the staff handled it. The food came out fairly quickly, everyone's checks were split, and it was all very organized. The experience with the staff and how they handled our large party was definitively a 5 star experience. That said, the food definitely left a lot to be desired. It was edible, but definitely just okay. Given, we were on a fixed menu due to the size of the party, so maybe there are also things that would've been more tasty. I ordered the stuffed shells and had a small salad to start. The salad was drenched in dressing, which really ruined the entire thing to be honest. The shells themselves were okay. The filling was decent, but the shells themselves were a bit overcooked and left them pretty chewy. They also melted giant slices of mozzarella over them, so it was difficult to cut into them because of the sheer amount of cheese. Overall, the staff were wonderful, but the food was not memorable. I will say that the restaurant itself was clean and there was plenty of parking! read more

I've been eating here for over 25 years. You can expect the same delicious food every time! Our family favorites are the Chicken Diane, Chicken Murphy, and Stuffed Mushrooms. read more

The food is excellent. Try their Chicken Murphy. If it's too spicy, pick around the jalapeños; otherwise, enjoy the jalapeños. Their pizza is excellent. Service is quick. Value is excellent. Ambiance is okay. Some people enjoy upscale ambiance, but that comes with higher prices. I'm here for the food and service, not uppity, pricey ambiance. I've never been disappointed with Italian Villa. read more

My boyfriend went in to eat while he had an hour off for lunch. As time passes he request a to go box because he only has 1 hour to eat. They did not give him his box until he paid for his food. The workers were ignoring him as he was speaking to them. And as he was waiting for his food and box everyone was greeted and told to come back soon but my boyfriend did not get the same treatment. Italian villa is racist and we will never be back. This WAS of my boyfriend's favorite restaurant. Do better Italian villa. read more

I'm not sure why Yelp decided to create an other profile for me just because I looked for restaurants in Gainsville once but it won't let me delete the profile so I continually end up writing reviews on a profile that does not represent me. Not enough stars to give them. My family and I had lunch on Saturday at Italian Villa and the whole experience was wonderful! This place is a true gem tucked away in a little shopping center. The place was clean, pleasing to the eye and well lit for a Saturday afternoon. I'm sure in the evening there are lower lights for a more romantic experience but with grandchildren we needed the light. We started with appetizers Fried Calamari, Mussels, Mushrooms and Mozzerella Caprese. Everything was delicious. I'm not a big fan of tomatoes but the Mozzerella Caprese had the best tasting tomatoes I've had in a long time. They have quite a selection for the lunch specials. We each got our own lunch special and we all liked what we got. I ordered the chicken Guisseppe. The chicken was tender and cooked with sautéed mushrooms, garlic, green onions, in a Marsala wine sauce with a touch of Marinara. I need to stay gluten free so I had the gluten free penne with my meal. There was so much food most of us took some home. I can say mine was even better that night for dinner. The rolls looked incredibly good, but I dare not try them. I'm sure they would have been delicious like everything else but my body would not have been happy. As it is the breading on the calamari was a cheat, but didn't do the damage that bread and regular pasta would have done. Our waitress Shannon was exceptional and another server, Justin, was very helpful in making a reservation and having our table all set up and ready for us upon arrival with a very friendly greeting. Life is so busy for everyone and we don't always have the time to get together as a family as often as we would like so we just recently started having family dinner/lunches together once a month. We are giving the kids the opportunity to try different cuisines. My two kids have Italian blood by their father so this was heritage as well as an epicurean sampling. We have a few more cuisines to try but the year is long and we will be back. Thanks for the great experience! read more

This is a great basic local Italian establishment that has excellent pizza and pasta.

I just encountered the most unprofessional service from this restaurant. A meal was missing from our GrubHub order. I first called the driver and texted him and got no response so I called the restaurant. The lady that answered the phone told me that there were two bags. At first I said we got two bags, but what I meant was there were two white paper bags inside one of the plastic bags. After she put me on hold and told me to call GrubHub because her kitchen staff said the driver took two bags I realized she meant two plastic bags. When I tried to tell her this she got VERY nasty and told me I was changing my story. If she would have listened to me, the customer, she would have understood that I misunderstood her and that is why I was then asking if the driver had actually taken two bags. She then hung up on me. The food here is good but they have lost our business. read more

Love Italian Villa! Been eating here for over 20 yrs. Food is great! Now offering gluten free entrees! So glad they are still here in Allen.

Great food! We ordered for delivery and it was delicious. My husband had the eggplant parm and I had the chicken parm. It was quick delivery and will be ordering again. read more

Love the food and the ambience. The service is good. My favorite would be the Bread they bring to the table.

Have been a constant Uber eats customer from this spot. It was on m favourite lists. Last order was a disappointment. The lady that answered the phone did not seem to be bothered to hear me out, and sounded more defensive than helpful. Me: Hi I just ordered a few thing via Ubereats, and was wondering if you had started on my order. Particularly the special pizza. Lady: If we made it, we are not going to cancel. Me: that's fine I just wanted to see if you hadn't made it yet, please do not include bell peppers, mushrooms and onions. Lady: I'll check. (hang's up) Food arrives, pizza had those item's. Guess she did not check. Oh well. food was good as any other store. I just love supporting local and mum and pop restaurants. No longer on me fav list. read more

Still searching for the perfect mom-and-pop Italian restaurant. Italian Villa, while not quite perfect for me, was pretty good. My wife tried their pepperoni pizza, I tried the seafood combo and we shared an order of the mozzarella sticks. All were decent, but I'll keep searching. An added note - our server, Elian, was friendly, helpful, attentive and very personable. read more

Good service and food. The Shrimp Scampi is delicious. The shrimps are huge. The prices are good too.

My Bride & I are kind of picky about our Italian food, just to be clear. We have eaten here a few years and was pretty good. Did take out this time with my family, and was good quality as well as taste. read more

The service was good. My husband and I had brunch here several weeks ago and the food was quite good. We decided to go for a date night and we were not impressed I had tacos and they were horrible. The tacos were cold and served with a small bowl of canned corn . My husband had salmon and it too was cold, over cooked and tasteless. I think this place is off the list. read more
