We celebrated our anniversary and it was a great choice. If you want a comfortable, unpretentious spot with massive portions of hearty Italian-American comfort food and a sweet retro vibe for a date night or milestone, La Villa delivers. Jess and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in, checking in on us without ever rushing the meal. read more

Happy Holidays All. Went here last night for a birthday party and as expected this old staple didn't disappoint. Great food with an old school at home feeling. Service by Emily was second to none. Fried calamari, fish, gnocchi, and pasta along with salads and soups are a few of the table items we had. If you haven't been here put it on the must stop A bar area with live music in the weekends or a dining area where you can have a more quiet dining experience And parking is a breeze Enjoy read more

Chicken parmigiana was cooked perfectly. Smothered with a generous portion of mozzarella cheese. Sauce was more than I'd prefer. Was disappointed I didn't order the meat sauce. Nonetheless. La Villa is consistently delicious, a solid spot on my rotation of weekly meals. read more

Great chicken, pork and vegetable dishes. I really liked the table side dressing and gravy. Our server was extremely helpful with navigating the menu to find out everything I could eat. There's butter in dishes I didn't expect but I was still able to try many different things. There's no butter in the gravy but they do butter the baked chicken. It felt cozy and roomy. The table chairs ate a little stiff for my bony butt. I preferred the booths even though they're a little tighter seating. All-in-all, loved both times I've been here and I need to remember to come back more often! read more

Yes, yes , and by the way , did I say yes?! !

Service was quick. Seems more like a local spot than a place you would travel to and reminds me of those old school Italian spots you would see in little Italy near UIC. Portions are large so you won't go home hungry. The menu is quite big too so there might be something for everyone as long as you love carbs read more

LaVilla is not only a place for great food, but the perfect spot for dinner before the theater. The six of us came in from Lake Zurich to see The Phantom of the Opera and stopped at LaVilla for a pre-theater dinner. The bar, the service, and the food were all outstanding. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of and got downtown to the theater on time. A special thank you to Chris for all the personal touches--they truly made the evening special. We love LaVilla! read more

Re-discovered La Villa and happy we did. Firstly greeted at the door by Christina the owner who couldn't be any nicer. Menu was huge, food and service was excellent. Great parking even made it all that much better. read more

Best pizza in Northside. Never fails always consistent. Love this place for takeout and dine in.

This is our second time here ( fist time was about 8 years ago) and hadn't come back since it really didn't blow our minds the first time. However my brother do love coming here ( when he lived in the city) so since he was visiting he mentioned he wanted to go and we went back again. This is an ok place, flavors are not outstanding and neither is the service But it's a big place with different options to try Maybe next time we'll go with a pizza to see if we like them better read more

Excellent service, decent food with expansive selection, clean. Bland theming. The 40 dollar rib-eye was really filling but thin (not the best rib-eye I've ever had, but, then again, this is an Italian restaurant). It was in a wine sauce. Also had a minestrone soup - okay. A salad - okay. They don't do substitutions on sides. They give the table wrapped mini breadsticks , cheesy focaccia bread, and some other cheesy bread. On the other side of the restaurant they had more cozy, romantic atmosphere - dimmer lighting and a band playing. We were seated in the opposite side which was quite and open and not all that interesting unfortunately. read more

Service is lax until it's time to pay. Food is mediocre at best and far too pricey for the quality.

Ordered a pizza for take out. It was ready in 30 minutes and they were able to do split margarita and supreme. Very delicious! We got an XL since there was a coupon on their take out menu and it was more than enough food. Will be back! read more

We really liked our first visit here tonight. If you are gluten free, this place is amazingly knowledgeable, and dedicated to having many choices. It was so refreshing to see a restaurant that was so compassionate. My wife is a celiac and a lot of restaurants don't know what they are talking about when it comes to gluten free options. These guys were GREAT at it. Our server was very kind and super helpful. I started with the meatballs, which was awesome. Then I had the vodka rigatoni, which was also very good. My wife loved her orders, as well. She ordered french onion soup and GF pasta. Well done, La Villa. You've dedicated yourself to being a restaurant for all, including people with allergies. Very well done! read more

Try to place an order for Italian sausages that are cooked in wine sauce and onions and peppers and then I'm told you we can only order the Italian sausage and red sauce. Every time you call there is always a problem either they don't know or you can't do it that way. This restaurant just does not seem to care anymore about the patrons service or anything else. They've been there forever maybe it's time to close down if you don't care about the food or service that you give the neighborhood. read more

Absolutely love this Chicago spot! They have some of the best pizza pies available. The customer service is always fantastic and the rest of the menu items are tasty too! I would definitely recommend read more

Today, my two roommates and I visited La Villa for the first time after ordering from them for the past four years. My roommate Robert took us there to celebrate my birthday, and I couldn't have been more impressed. From the moment we walked in, everything was outstanding -- the menu, the atmosphere, and especially the service. Our server, Emily, was fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And once again, the food was absolutely incredible. In four years, La Villa has never disappointed us, and tonight just confirmed why we keep coming back. Thank you for making my birthday celebration so special! read more

This is a long established neighborhood spot. Convenient location for kilbourn park friends I was meeting. Food was warm and cheesy. tomato sauce tasted jarred. Lighting was too bright. Could be cozier. Service was fine... no complaints. read more

If you are searching for a great Italian place for Gluten Free pasta, look no further. I have been coming to this restaurant for 50 years. Recently was in the area and went gluten free several years ago. Stopped by today and ordered the baked ziti. This was damn delicious!!! The noodles held up and didn't fall apart like most noodles that are GF. The sauce is an authentic tomato blend with a ricotta cheese meat sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese and baked to perfection. Be sure to also have their GF minestrone soup. They serve it without the pasta and it was very tasty as well. If only I lived closer. I can't wait to try their GF pizza. I can say without a doubt, best GF pasta in a restaurant I've ever had. Highly recommend! read more

I had the oysters Rockefeller, the French Onion soup and cheese pizza. All of it was not very good. Kind of blah. Maybe their pastas are better, but what I had was just not very good. read more

Called about a terrible pizza. Woman was rude and hasty. Been going to this restaurant for at least 20 years.

This place was fantastic! Great tavern pizza, great salad and amazing server Christopher. Highly recommend.

Our waitress couldn't be any better! She is super friendly and informative! The aesthetic is an old Italian restaurant. I definitely will be back! read more

Great service, quick delivery and amazing pizza. The stuffed pizza is great, the kids really enjoyed it too. Can't wait to order again

Solid pizza, solid chicken parm sandwich. I've never eaten inside before, only gotten takeout and delivery. We've never had an issue with our order, it's always been correct and pipping hot. They do their own delivery and are not in any food delivery app which cuts the middleman so any issues are dealt directly with them. read more

La Villa will always be so close to my heart as I fell in love with an Albany Park native and we had some very nice dinners there as a precursor to our eventual wedding reception happening in their La Strada event space! I have to say that the event planning there was perfection. I met alone with the coordinator, and she was willing to meet again with me and my husband to finalize details. They really do a fantastic job without an overwhelming price tag. On the day of our afternoon reception, everything was perfect. Sweet server Rosie seems to be the captain of the Strada room, and she was contacting us throughout the day to keep tabs on what was happening. Our reception was a few months after our small ceremony, so we really wanted an casual atmosphere with a classy vibe, and the La Strada space accomplished this with perfection. Note - they do have a larger banquet space that would accommodate a more upscale vibe for nighttime events. I cannot imagine a better space that would have complemented our vision to such perfection. We had La Villa dinner reservations for NYE this year and were seated in the Strada space, as they do use it for dining as well. It was fun to be back in that room and reflecting on our reception. What fully warmed our hearts...Rosie, who had been the rockstar at our reception, was our server, and she remembered us. She is a total sweetie, and I cannot say enough good about La Villa and the amazing team. read more

It's time in the neighborhood says it all. I grew up with it and will still come into the city just to taste, the old school, Italian flavors of La villa My favorite pizza, my dad has had the chicken Vesuvio for 35 years. The service is amazing, the owners are pillars of the community. I just miss their salad bar so much! read more

We went to celebrate my 50th Birthday, the establishment was suggested to us by a family member. The service was excellent, the staff is very well trained. The food was affordable and delicious, on point !!! Highly recommend it. Besides everything been good, the highlight for me was seen how one of the owners was going table to table asking her guest how everything was and how she was engaging with everyone as if there were family members joining her for dinner. read more

Went here for a birthday recently and was an avid customer before, and boy does la villa still know how to cook good Italian food that hits the spot. Their focaccia bread is so soft and pairs well with an olive oil and Parmesan cheese dip. I ordered the Steak ala Villa and for the taste and portion size, $30 is worth it. The meat is very tender and juicy, and they do not hesitate to load on the sauce and mushrooms. The staff were very friendly and served the food relatively fast, and never failed to keep on refilling the table with more bread. The restaurant itself is dimly lit, giving it a jazzy ambience that would fit well for a party or a date night. read more

Pleasantly surprised to come and seriously enjoy not only the food and company but the atmosphere. Very Italian and so quaint. At first, we were told that our reservations weren't found. But when we let them know "who" made the reservation, all of a sudden they found the reservation. (he's highly respected) person in Chicago. I'm realizing that maybe this restaurant was trying to be a little funny. Okay ill let this slide, but I will make another reservation soon with some dignitaries and see how that goes. After all "restaurants never know" who is coming in, especially due to mask-wearing until seated. But I'll digress. I ordered a salad and it was quite fresh. And a side of pasta, and there's where I give them hoorahs: the sauce seemed to of been homemade and thick. Not the watery kind that many establishments put out and try to pass as homemade. This one was seriously not lacking any seasoning and was very thick. Oh, this is the way I like sauces and just like an Italian mama's kitchen, this was perfection! I need this marinara sauce bottled because as a patron of great sauces, this one matched my top 5! Great job and poor mama Celeste has no chance! Old school Italian restaurant with ample parking is great, the food is great, and the waitresses (is that still PC) are awesome. Come through and see for yourself, they don't play when it comes to food! read more

Came here with the family for a Birthday dinner. We were a party of 11. Our server SAM was amazing, very tentative and super nice. The food portions are huge. My entree came with a soup and a salad and a big portion of chicken parm. The price per dish is worth all the food you get. Sam was nice to separate tabs without a fuss. She also did tell us gratuity was included, some servers are greedy and never mention that part. The whole experience was great!! Plus I have leftovers for tomorrow! read more
