Great Italian restaurant in the area! Highly recommend it for either a lunch or dinner outing. I had the penne vodka with chicken--so good. They bring out warm bread with olive oil and garlic right away, which was such a nice touch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. I'll definitely be back! read more

Villa Barone - Vodka Rigatoni Pasta Dinner - Italian Near Me - Robbinsville, New Jersey

Had a business luncheon today . First time diners. We had an excellent luncheon. Rack of us had different entrees. While they had a excellent selection of entrees on the menu, they also had four luncheon specials as well as appetizers. I had salmon done over a bed of spinach. It was accompanied by a nice garden salad with vinaigrette dressing. We also had bread as well as oils to dip it in. Our server ( Sergio) was efficient but not intrusive. My host paid the tab so I am not sure of the pricing. Even if I was paying, based on the quality of the cuisine, I would be pleased. Overall. An excellent luncheon experience. We will be back. Worth the 40 minute drive. read more

I treated my 90 year old mom to a birthday dinner last Wednesday (June 3). The food was okay...nothing special The service was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. Our servers were rude and unattentive. They have lost our business for good. read more

The FOOD IS AMAZING!!! I have eaten some great food in NYC. This holds up to any and all! It's spectacular! 5 stars. It actually deserves a Michelin star. Service excellent as well The downfall the acoustics inside are terrible. But if u can get by that it's great. read more

Started with French onion soup and something about it just tasted off, almost sour tasting, I had a few bites and the waitstaff had already circled back to ask if I was done so I let them take it away as it wasn't worth trying to finish. It was also served in a regular soup bowl versus a crock with a slice of cheese on top. Then went onto the "homemade pappardelle bolognese" and again unfortunately it wasn't great, at all, I had maybe two bites of it, had my husband try a bite to make sure it wasn't just me but we both agreed it was off and maybe tasted like grease. At that point I gave up and the waitstaff took it back and I declined to take any home. I'm surprised in that moment they didn't ask if something was wrong as it was mostly untouched, but it wasn't our waiter that took it away. Our waiter was very attentive though so it was unfortunate the meal was subpar. read more

Best 5* shrimp scampi in NJ. Living in NJ since 1983. Everything was delicious and well prepared and quality

We had a Luncheon at Villa Barone for my son's 1st birthday party. Cesare was very accommodating while planning everything. They let us come 2 hours ahead to decorate, and reserved the whole back section for our 30 guests. The food was fantastic - still dreaming about the Salmon! And the servers were very attentive and helpful. Compared to many other restaurants, their pricing for a party was extremely fair, plus they are BYOB and don't charge if you bring your own dessert like many do. In addition, they don't have a minimum headcount for a luncheon, which is also refreshing to see and made planning much easier. I would highly recommend working with them for a party, and even just stopping in for a meal - their food is really delicious. read more

We were in town on our way to NYC! We got lucky and stopped in, our food was delicious and the restaurant was amazing! Our waiter was from Ecuador and I forgot his name ( sorry ) but he was excellent as well as the other waiters and waitress . Their teamwork was outstanding and very appreciated! We wont be back soon but we will tell everyone in Florida!! lol thanks for a great dinner!! read more

I've been here a few times in the distant past and it's taken me way too long to revisit. We came early midweek and found only one other table seated, but as others have noted, if you come during prime dinner hours it might be busy. Our server was pleasant and friendly, but possibly new on the job. She didn't quite recite all of the evenings specials, but I had a feeling I'd try the chicken parm anyway. I did, and also an order of clams casino. That app raised this review into 4 star range. These were done in a way I prefer, whole clam at bottom with cooked stuffing on top, noticeable bacon included as well. I would be very happy with 20 of these and some crusty bread. The chicken parm was also better than average. I liked the breading and it was not over sauced or soggy. Good chicken too. My only critique would be to improve the sauce. While it tasted ok, my co diner's pomodoro sauce looked and smelled amazing. I'd ask for that to be substituted if possible. I recall them serving the fresh out of pizza oven puffy bread( or so I thought?) but the light and fluffy doughy bread with light cheese crust was pretty good, and a nice spruced up olive oil to go with it. House salads were ok. Prices are very fair here too. My next visit will be sooner than the decades wait of this last one. read more

Tonight was our first time there and I can tell you it won't be our last. The restaurant looked so beautiful as we walked in. The hostess greeted us right away and sat us. Our waiter Ariel was very attentive. He was top notch with making us feel welcome. The Pappardella bolongause was delicious. The shrimp scampi was awesome. We could not have been happier. read more

My husband and I ordered dinner to be delivered. Unfortunately, the salad I order was missing half of the ingredients, including the chicken. My husbands salad and the eggplant rollatini was correct, but was just ok, bland and lacked a lot of taste. We did call the resturant about the issues with my salad, however, they blamed it on the delivery service and refused to give us any credit. I am extremely disappointed in how their lack of customer service as well as the food. We will not be ordering or eating in the restaurant again. read more

As a graduate of the CIA, I would have to say they hit the mark on everything from appetizer to dessert. I had the cavatelli with sausage, broccoli rabe, cannellini beans, in a light roasted garlic sauce. The calamari was tender and lightly battered with a crispy coating. The tomato sauce was very light not heavy or acidic.. Being half Italian, i'm always skeptic going to Italian restaurants. This place is worth the trip. Open dining room, though read more

Great food. Got Takeout for my work group from the UK and Japan, everyone loved the authentic Italian food!

If you're looking for the best pasta in NJ look no further. I've been coming here for many years and have never had better pasta than Villa Barone. I always order the same meal, pasta Bellissimo. Service is friendly and attentive and food comes out fairly quick. A bonus is that the restaurant is also BYOB. Perfect restaurant to come to for special occasions or host a baby shower, bridal shower or rehearsal dinner. read more

Came here for a friend's surprise dinner in a group of 9. Service was pretty slow and waiters were inattentive, we ran out of water + bread within 20ish minutes and no one came to replenish us. Waiters also took an hour to take our orders plus another half hour to bring out all of our food. My dish was okay, tasty but very salty and price was a bit steep (about $33 after taxes, tip, and credit fee). Be mindful that you are charged extra for paying with a credit card, I probably won't be coming back to this place again. read more

Villa Barone - grilled tilapia + shrimp and sautéed spinach - Italian Near Me - Robbinsville, New Jersey

Ordered an entree and a side. Ordered from their menu, when the order was picked up the price was nothing like it was from the menu. Was told there was a mistake of pricing on the menu!!! So, why would they leave wrongly priced menu's out. Tell people the prices are not accurate. Manager/owner was rude in his response. Plus, overpriced! Done with Villa Barone. read more

Grabbed lunch from here recently and was pretty darn happy with my meal. First, the food was ready when they said it would be, so that's always a big plus. I got the Italiano panini and it was definitely tasty - nothing too crazy, but it packed a decent amount of flavor. I was expecting to dislike the house salad (not a huge fan of lettuce - I prefer spinach) but the dressing was pretty good and masked the taste of the lettuce pretty well :) My wife got the prosciutto caprese sandwich and thought it was only OK - I sampled it and agreed that it was worse than my panini. The food was surprisingly affordable ($9 for panini and house salad $8 for her sandwich and fries), so that's another big plus. Overall, I can definitely see us coming back! read more

Just had delivery and it was sensational! We've enjoyed eating in the restaurant in the past and just discovered that they deliver. Absolute heaven - eggplant rollatini - salad with goat cheese- veal on broccoli rabe - perfect. We live about 20 minutes away and it was quite a treat to have gourmet food within the hour and sitting around table comfy in my slippers! Bravo - compliments to the chef and all who served and delivered!!! read more

Great place for a party! Held a baby shower here today for 40 guests. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was. Ceasar was so easy to work with! Even adjustments for special diet and vegetarians were no problem! read more

Food was very good, not much ambiance-just an open room but doesn't matter to me since the food was very good. Service is fair. Entrees state salad included. I ordered an appetizer and asked why I didn't receive a salad. Server said didn't know if you still wanted it. Brought it with my entree. The moment you put a utensil down, they pick up your plate and silverware. Had to say we aren't finished. read more

I ordered catering from Villa Barone for Christmas this year-a good decision! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered meatballs and sausage, Caesar salad and bruschetta salmon. The salmon was sooo good-my guests were going back for thirds! The Caesar salad was amazing (not a speck left)! I highly recommend this restaurant for catering or dine in. Thank you, Villa Barone! read more

Great Italian restaurant in Robbinsville. Casual environment, kind of small, but with the nice ambiance from the dim lighting it makes it a nice place to go out without breaking the budget. Excellent pasta dishes. Recently had the vodka rigatoni as it's one of my friend's favorites... just happened to be craving it. So saucy, creamy and cheesy. The sauce has so much flavor. The prosciutto definitely adds a great savor to the dish. Large portion as to be expected from an Italian restaurant. If I didn't have any self-control I could have easily finished my plate in one sitting and licked the plate clean because it was so good. Always had excellent service here. Definitely a perfect place to come dine. read more

Terrible customer service and support. We went here for dinner with a group of friends for the first time and were disappointed. We ordered the mozzarella ball appetizer which came out cold, then was brought back out (the same platter) simply reheated and mashed up like soup. We had a few friend with us order off the kids menu, and the waiter took it no problem instead of stating that they had to get adult portions. When the check came we had been charged TWENTY TWO DOLLARS for chicken tenders. When we mentioned there was no chicken tenders on the adult menu, therefore we didn't know how much we would be charged we were met with attitude and an unhelpful disposition. Truly unbelievable. Will stick with our classics next time. read more

For a Sunday night shortly before closing time, this little restaurant right off of Routes 130/295/195 sure was accommodating. Stopping in for a quick bite on my drive home, I opted for the Tartufo, which is pretty much a ball of chocolate with gelato and a cherry inside. For the price, you couldn't beat it. My friend chose the Mozzarella alla Romano appetizer and raved about the dish. We'd definitely stop back in if in the area in the future for a full meal. But more than any other factor about this place -- more than the food or decor or location -- what stood out to me the most was the service. Despite the late hour, everyone we encountered greeted us with a smile and kind words. Our server, Alex (I think that was his name? Tallish, blonde, great command of the menu..), went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right with our food, while not being overbearing. I recommend! read more

I've been to Villa Barone twice recently; once for dinner and once for lunch. Let me preface this review by saying, I'm not a big Italian food person. But, in both instances, the food was great, service excellent, and price point slightly less than other Italian places in the area. For my dinner visit, I ordered the Chicken Cacciatore. It was fabulous; so moist, full of flavor and simply delicious. Probably one of the best cacciatores I've had! I had their Chicken Marsala for lunch; also very good! They certainly know how to prepare Italian style chicken. And my sweet tooth was greatly satisfied with the delicious chocolate covered ice cream creation I ordered. read more

I feel like they used to be better. It's become just another mediocre generic NJ Italian restaurant that are a dime a dozen. While the ambiance is nice, don't think the food is better than villa Manino down the street, and they are definitely more expensive. Service is fine. read more

*Organically grown products* I have been to Villa Barone two times and both times the food was awesome. My most recent trip was on Easter Sunday. We had 8 people in our group. To start we shared a few orders of claims casino & stuffed mushrooms. Both appetizers were very good. Our waiter was fantastic and the rest of the staff was extremely attentive. For dinner I had the Chicken Cardinale: chicken sauteed with roasted peppers, topped with fresh mozzarella in a blush sauce. I really enjoyed this entree and it was recommend by our waiter. Since everything was so good I split the strawberry shortcake with my wife. As with the rest of our meal it was fantastic. I will be back. This place is great. read more

I reached out to Villa Barone a few times and did not get a response. We order take out from here often and the food is always delicious. However, a few weeks ago we got calamari and it was extremely greasy and chewy. There were also a ton of the tentacles - a few thrown into an order is fine but this was overkill. I know that getting calamari to go can be a challenge but we have never had this experience before from other restaurants. I even put it on a paper towel when we got home to get some of the grease but it was soooo chewy that it was inedible. For the price of their food, I would expect something different. And for the amount of money we spend there, I would have expected a response. read more

We went their on a rainy, thunderstorms day! Chilly outside. No power when we went. But they were very polite and said, cash only, can dine in. Just my wife and I went in and the food was super classy! The Garlic bread came almost like a pizza! Great flavor and super hot. Somehow I have never taken Rosato that's Italian rice and vegetables, the aroma was great! My wife ordered pasta and vegetables and she loved it too. Service was at its best. With no power, they were super nice and served super great food. Sergei was our waiter and sure to be recognized. read more

The food is very good BUT it took almost a hour to get it, so... and the service is very slow.

My wife and I came in for dinner a few nights ago. The food was acceptable, nothing to praise or disparage. With limited capacity the meal came out quickly. The reason for my two star review is because of the gentleman who asked "all done?" as he touched my plate and removed it from the table with his ungloved hand. Even after I said, "I'm still working" did he just take my food away. I looked shocked and another server asked me if everything was okay. I said, "No, that guy just took my food away." I never got it back, never got it to go, and never got an explanation or apology. I paid for a full meal pans only got to eat 2/3 of it. We won't be back for a good long while. read more

Come fill up these outdoor tables! Food was superb and how great to have a delicious and HOT meal delivered by a Great Server! Special appetizer was blackened Scallops-tasty & tender and the rigatoni carbonatta - this pasta dish was amazing! My husband's veal saltimbocca was perfect as was the capellini that came with it. Our salads that came with our meals - super fresh and the dressing tasty but light. Come out and support this gem! Under normal circumstances, we always LOVE having anyplace to ourselves, it was shocking no one else was here! read more
