I came to Villa Grande looking for local eats that had amazing flavor and they did not disappoint! I ordered three different pasta entrees, the bruschetta, and the french onion soup. Every single item was made fresh and tasted absolutely amazing! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal! read more

We were traveling across the country and stumbled onto this exceptional Italian restaurant. Our dinner was delicious and the service was excellent. Everything down to the bread was first rate. We eat a lot of Italian food in NY and CA and will definitely return to this wonderful place if we are ever again in this area. read more

Pizza is excellent and so are dinner entrees. We ordered a lg pizza and the leftovers were great. Their Italian platter is wonderful.

Delivered wrong item, called to complain and was told oh well. This restaurant has been here forever and the locals like to sing it's praise but reality this is a sub par Italian restaurant. People of butler won't complain because it feels like a hit on the city. And actually they do not complain much of all. That's what has allowed the restaurant to continue. And it doesn't matter if you do because they will do nothing, not smart lossing a customer for a pizza. I was a cracker barrel general manager in the early 2000s. Management & customer service sure has changed. read more

We order lasagna here. It is delicious! I am not sure about the other food, but the lasagna is truly to die for.

The food used to be really good here. The quality and taste have definitely changed. It's ok, but it their food used to be delicious! We still go every now and then, but we used to be regulars at this restaurant. The wait staff are always very friendly. read more

Sad read more

Villa Grande Restaurant - My birthday dinner with the chicken piccata. That they've never done . Hmmmm!!!!! - Pizza Near Me - Butler, Pennsylvania

I used to love this place but it's not good anymore. Went for lunch last week and had chicken that was so dry it wasn't edible. Left it uneaten. Waste of money. Gave it a couple try's after it was going downhill but it's still not good. Sad. read more

The wedding soup was delicious! Homemade, with lots of little meatballs, tender, delicious chunks of chicken in a savory broth. The breadsticks are delicious as are the house made rolls. The linguini with clams and white sauce was awful. I can only describe it as tasting like ocean water with clam meat. No garlic, no white wine, just bland. read more

Villa Grande Restaurant - Wedding Soup - Pizza Near Me - Butler, Pennsylvania

See all

Don't eat here. You deserve better, Butler. The wait staff is very friendly and is trying very hard, but their ineptitude is what makes the final result so bad. After hearing our server bragging on and on about how their sauces are made daily in house we gave it a try. But first, I had to call her back because she started to leave without taking my order. All of the pasta dishes were bland and very, very bad. They seemed to be out of lemons, because there were ORANGE chunks strewn ALL over my veal piccata and my son's shrimp Alfredo. Attempting Chicken piccata without lemons is like making lemonade without lemons. It should not have been considered or served. We never got our pizza to our table, since the server never put the order into the kitchen. Only when she came back and asked if we needed anything. Yes, actually our son has no food yet!? I'd say they might want to start getting their sauces from a can, it could only improve everything we tasted. Don't eat here. read more

We've dined in and had their Italian dishes and we've ordered pizza delivery! Both services are fantastic. Their Margherita pizza is perfect! read more

Are there 2 days ago and my husband has been sick ever since. He's been profusely vomiting and horrible diarrhea. Meatball sandwich. Obviously something wrong with it. No where on website to leave a msg. Just hope someone sees this and takes notice. Had a friend say a couple nurses at hospital went for lunch and 3 of them also got sick. Maybe need a health inspection. read more

Great pizza. Best in Butler. It gets packed, especially Friday and Saturdays. But service is always great. Very friendly staff. We love taking our family there when in-laws are in town. The ambiance is great, friendly, feels like community. read more

I like the veal parmigiana, that's my go to, when I get food. I'll have to go back. I hope the portions are still the same

Villa Grande is a small Italian restaurant with most of your standard classic American/Italian dishes. We've tried a few of their dishes here, our favorite being the eggplant parmesan sandwich. Their pizza is okay, the crust is fairly dry and hard. I wouldn't recommend the appetizer sampler as they are subpar. Sometimes you are served breadsticks and marinara, which is good if they remember to bring it to you. The service is very very slow here, but it typically seems to be only two waitresses covering the entire dining room. Although it takes a long time for service, you are greeted with a smile and you can tell they have a lot of regular customers. I would recommend this place if you like average American/Italian food, but there are definitely better options. read more

Everything Here is good... from the veal parmesan dinner to the thin crust pizza Have not had a bad meal yet Wife especially loves the tuna fish hoagie!! read more

Great place to grab some dinner after playing golf at Conley's. Overall, I thought that the food was quite good. I tried the bread sticks, clam chowder, and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. You can also choose another protein, such as shrimp to go with your pasta. I found the atmosphere to be relatively casual. Felt like you were eating in your Italian grandmother's little house. I appreciated that mostly everything was made from scratch. The bread was really good! So much better than Olive Garden's breadsticks. It has far more flavor and a great texture. My fettuccine Alfredo came in quite a large portion. It was buttery, but not overwhelmingly so. It also had plenty of cheese and a decent amount of chicken with it. You can change your sauce to a pink sauce for a few extra dollars. The dish cost $12-13 without chicken, which costs an additional $3. Very reasonable prices, especially for the portions. Also tried some soup, Erich was the clam chowder. I'm not usually a fan of it, but this clam chowder was really tasty! Not too creamy and packed with fish. Definitely recommend! If you are in the Butler area, I recommend giving this place a try for sure! Way better than Olive Garden, by far. read more

bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad ba no I'm coming back to this review 10 months later and I'm just thinking wow I was so immature back then Phil grande restaurant is an amazing place. I found a hair in the bathroom though so 10 stars for that. read more

My wife and I had not been to this restuarant for years, so we weren't sure what to expect. But we had a gift certificate and decided to use it. Both lunches were fantastic: a steak sandwich and a meatball and green pepper calzone. Our server Grace was a delight and checked up on us frequently. She was friendly and helpful and added a nice touch to what was already a great meal. The desserts look very tempting but after an appetizer of tomato bruschetta and our meals, we didn't have room. Maybe next time because we'll definitely be back. read more

This business gives the area a communitity feeling of love. Everytime I go in there I am greeted with a hello and a smile. Not only from the owner, Jay but the front staff as well. Today I had a mishap when my bank deduct an order from my account that I did try to order at the restuarant, online but Villa Grande did not get it. I explained this to Jay and he said. "Take the food at this time(even though I had the money in my hand) and don't pay...wait to see of my bank drops my money back in my account, then come in and pay for it. The sence of family I got when he told me this was overwhelming. I frequent the business anyway and once PNC gets this resolved I will be back for another Linguine Pescatore'. read more

From the moment you walk into Villa Grande you feel the family atmosphere and smell the amazing pizza, spaghetti sauce and oh the dinner rolls are to die for! Wonderful family restaurant with extensive menu of Italian specialties, Pizza, sandwiches and Salads! Friendly staff and better than good service! Stop in and try the antipasto & Italian Wedding Soup, you will be glad you did! read more

The food was okay. Everything was pretty bland and lacking flavor, right down to the blue cheese salad dressing. Pasta was also a little undercook. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. Prices were very reasonable. The only complaint was that the food wasn't very flavorful read more

Pizza is one of best in Butler for sure. Can't go wrong there. As for other food, maybe average. Lasagna is good, but nothing special. The meatballs are dense and rather tasteless. They feel overworked and taste one-dimensional. House salad, tbh, is an embarrassing plate of iceberg lettuce and unripe tomato. I was shocked that an Italian restaurant would serve something so low quality. My tomato slice was was half white and corky in texture. Had to saw it off with the knife but ANY caring employee would never let that make it to a table, let alone the plate. I'll say this: the prices are fair, which is maybe why the quality of food and ingredients are nothing special, but yet stays busy. I guess you get what you pay for though. Like I said, not bad. Just not a place I'd recommend to a friend... except for the pizza. read more

This place is a family owned one of a kind Italian restaurant. A rare find in the, all too often found chain restaurants. Photos on the wall indicate how long the family has nurtured this business. You are welcomed as soon as you enter and it is obvious that the owners appreciate you being there. Wait staff are friendly and the food is excellent and ample - you won't go home hungry and you, more than likely, will go home with what you couldn't finish. Fettuccine Alfredo is my go to favorite but most everything on the menu is ample and of excellent taste. The pizza is also a dining favorite. You won't be disappointed. read more

We absolutely love The Villa Grande. The food is so delicious and the waitresses are always so pleasant.

I've never visited the restaurant because we always DoorDash their pizza and pasta for quick family night or when the kids have friends over. The 16 Sicilian style thick crust pizza is the best pizza I've ever had. The sauce, cheese and crust are perfection. It's my go to. read more

Great local Italian cuisine, pizza are just the right amount of crust, cheese and oils. Which makes their slice yummy. Pasta dishes are the bomb. Linguine and red clam sauce has the most clams in a dish than I've had at any other restaurant. read more

DONT EAT HERE. Very bad food. My husband was sick from food poisoning for 3 days after a meatball sandwich.

Great Italian food. We have never been disappointed in our meals. The halibut fish over linguine is excellent. À la mafia is another excellent choice. And the limoncello cake for dessert one of my favorites. Very friendly staff and great service read more

Some of the best pizza around and delicious pasta dishes. Friendly staff and clean restrooms. Not bad prices.Definitely will return.

I love this place. The wait staff are exceptional. They are friendly yet professional and they make sure that your experience is perfect l. The food is also very good. The only issue I have ever had was when I was I'll and used their delivery (door dash). I ordered stuffed shells and they truly looked like they had been stomped on. The container was crushed, and the sauce etc...had leaked out all over the rest of the containers. I don't know who was responsible, the delivery person or the restaurant. read more

Excellent food, everything fresh and authentic flavors, staff is always friendly and the prices and portions are perfection. A new favorite on our list! read more

Compared to my last time there 1 1/2 years ago, it was great. I went for lunch and ordered Gnocchi and they were best I've ever had. The sauce was plenty and had ricotta and mozzarella mixed in. Also ordered a large plain pizza to go and it was great, very good sauce. I can't wait to go back read more
