Hubby and I had dinner here tonight. Restaurant was good, nothing to scream home about. Didn't not have a bad odor at all (per a previous person's review), maybe it was an off day that day. Food came out quickly and hot! Hubby had some type of chicken with Italian sauce and spaghetti dish, thoroughly enjoyed it. They made me a veggie pasta with pink sauce....delish!!! The bread was tasty too. We definitely plan to return! read more

We've been coming to this place for years, and it has never let us down--whether it's the food or the service. The restaurant is very spacious, making it perfect for family gatherings, get-togethers with friends, or even small parties. The pizza and pasta are some of the best in town, with plenty of great options to choose from. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. This is a great example of why supporting local small businesses matters. If you're looking for solid Italian food in a comfortable, welcoming space, I highly recommend this place. read more

Love this place... family restaurant. Owner is the chef and his mom's taking orders... food is excellent and prices great! Highly recommend read more

Villa Italiana - Villa Italia in Midlothian - Italian Near Me - Midlothian, Texas

My bestie said she loves this place so we went here for lunch. They serve bread and I also got a Caesar salad. The waitress warned me it was sour but it didn't really taste like Caesar (I don't recommend). For my entree I got the chicken mushroom cannelloni. It came out piping hot, the taste was okay, not the best Alfredo, but not the worst. Shortly afterwards my stomach was bubbling and I did not feel good. The service was average, the ambiance was eh. Nothing fancy just a small hole in the wall. Typically, I wouldn't give this place another try but my bestie says I need to try their pizza... so I guess I will be back for that and give you another update. Was this a one time experience or will all of my experiences be like this? read more

Villa Italiana - Chicken mushroom cannelloni - Italian Near Me - Midlothian, Texas

Food is great. Service is excellent. Owner is very friendly. Nice hole in the wall place.

I read the reviews and thought I'd give it a try. We walked in, got seated, and the smell got to us instantly. It smells terrible in there. We got our menus and didn't even order. We just got up and left. I don't know how anyone eats there with that rancid oder. Can't mention the food because it smelled too bad to stay. read more

If I could leave a negative star rating, I would. It had been a few years since my last visit, and the difference is shocking--either ownership has changed or the kitchen standards have completely collapsed. We ordered a medium pepperoni pizza, chicken Alfredo, and cheese ravioli. The ravioli was the only passable item. The chicken Alfredo was genuinely disgusting--completely flavorless, with chicken that tasted like it came straight from a can. The pizza arrived cold, with a cardboard-like texture and no redeeming qualities. The food was so bad we threw away over half of it. Extremely disappointing and absolutely not worth returning. read more

Everything at this Original Italian restaurant is simply Amazing! The owners are blessed with the truest gift of Italian cuisine, and they run it with the utmost pride. The service is amazing and very friendly as well, and the food will captivate you! read more

Food is very decent Italian, wait staff helpful. I'd like to be able to add a review without writing a book.

Food is excellent, Service is phenomenal, and a great atmosphere. We live in Plano, and it's a 2 hour drive, but we do that because it's worth it. read more

I wish we tried this place sooner. We moved from ari from about 3 years ago and my son is SUPER picky about his NY style pizza. There's a place in Arlington where we are regular customers and my son has been eating their pizza for about 11 years now. It's a bit of a drive, but we make it because it's better than the two Italian places that we've tried in Midlothian in the last couple years. We consistently heard good thing about this place and decided to order a large pizza. I'm so happy to say that my son likes it and would happily eat it again! I can't wait to go inside and explore the full menu. We could have saved ourselves a few long trips if we had tried this place earlier read more

Villa Italiana - Yummy Sausage pizza - Italian Near Me - Midlothian, Texas

The family that owns the restaurant has always been sweet to my family. They also have my favorite pizza in town (White Pizza, but with added chicken). And you can't beat the price point for the quality of Italian food. read more

Who in the world told these people that they had a good thing going, about the place is ok iordereda slice of the supreme and spaghetti with meat sauce and a side salad with order of motz sticks . Sticks tasted like an old freezer. Pizza tasted like cardboard no flavor. Spaghetti was overcooked and the sauce again no flavor, the best thing I had there was the root beer and free bread also the service was nice. read more

How do you rate a restaurant that has good food but lacks efficiency ... I mean totally lacks efficiency. We were 5 out-of-towners ducking in for a quick. After waiting in the foyer for 5 minutes we decided we probably needed to find our own table. Success. Then began the wait to be recognized. It took over 25 minutes for a staffer to ask if we needed menus. It took all I had to not be snarky and say "Nah, we're just enjoying the ambiance." of which there is none. So we got menus, made a decision and ordered. It was at least another 30-40 minutes before our pizza was presented. Great pizza in terms of ingredients and flavor ... but we discovered the crust was burnt. We were already halfway through the pizza so didn't complain. We sure didn't want to wait another 45 minutes for another one! I really don't know what the issue was as every employee was busting their chops. Short staff? Don't know but it was not a good experience. But again, until we got to the burnt part of the crust, the food itself was quite good. is generous... read more

We dropped into Villa Italiana with some friends and enjoyed a pleasant dinner. We were served dinner rolls which were surprisingly very good. I'm a bit weird when it comes to calzones, but I took a chance and didn't regret it. They were light like a crosswind but in the shape of a roll. The breading to cheese and topping ratio was spot on. My husband was not as big on the lasagna, but he did enjoy it and noted it's more Italian style than your typical layered noodle lasagna. Overall, it was a pleasant experience - the dining area was calm and quiet and the service was good. The only thing I would knock is that the bathroom could use some work. read more

This is a well known place and I think I was expecting a lot more after reading all the reviews. The customer service was excellent, I will give them that. I ordered lobster raviolis and they were ok. I was disappointed with salad since they were premade sitting on plates with the to go salads and sodas. The ranch was watery but not horrible. I would return but think I will stick to pizza. Sorry no pics to post. read more

We drive through Midlothian all the time. Only 25 minutes away from us, the city itself has grown by leaps and bounds in the 30 years we've lived south of Dallas; but it's historic downtown is pretty much the same. Different types of businesses have come and gone and although Villa Italiana has been there since 2013, we've yet to stop in. A full blown Italian restaurant, not just a pizzeria, Villa Italiana has an unassuming pleasant vibe. When seated, one booth seat was split, which always annoys me. In a virtually empty restaurant, why seat anyone there? If it's necessary to seat people there, then fix it. Just my opinion. They had a lovely menu and service was prompt, friendly and helpful. After ordering and getting our salads, a party of 3 came in and were seated directly behind us - two exuberant children and their Mother. No one else in the place. So then I understood. I assume these two booths in front are always in rotation, closest to the kitchen, unless you ask to be seated somewhere else. So no social distancing is in use here, although there's plenty of room. This is a busy Mom and Pop place. I get it. It's about convenience; but if we return, I think we'll ask to sit in the large back dining room. We had their house tossed salads with their truly delicious homemade House dressing. The salads were basic lettuce and tomato but that wonderful homemade House dressing with its tangy bite is to die for. A few olives, red onion slices or cucumber would be nice for $3.50. It does come with some of the best rolls I've ever had in a casual restaurant. With an incredible chewy crust and airy light crumb, you could just keep on eating rolls! We ordered their hand tossed, large size, 9 topping pizza plus anchovies. I wanted to like this pizza. The crust was perfectly cooked, the toppings went all the way to the edge and it looked beautiful. It just had an unusual taste that I didn't care for. Was it the sauce or lack of it? The mushy bell peppers? I couldn't figure it out. Still, we soldiered on through two slices each and boxed up the rest for home. At home, reheated with a jarred pizza sauce, the pizza was much better. It's difficult to explain how the additional acid of the tomato sauce made such a difference. The restaurant was clean. Service was pleasant and thorough. There's parking on the street at a busy intersection; but it worked out okay, even at rush hour! We would return to try the entrees, based on reviews that I read, and perhaps try a different pizza. Menu prices are all very modest. And then there's those rolls!! Yum. read more

Ambiance - 3 stars Pricing - $ Service - 5 stars Overall Experience - 5 Stars We went here after house shopping in the area. I read some Yelp reviews and we decided to give it a shot. It's a true mom and pop kind of restaurant. If your looking for cute, fancy or IG pic worthy; this is NOT your spot; but if you're wanting just some good authentic Italian food this is your place to be. We had their Caesar Salad, garlic and bread with cheese. It was freshly made and really good. I had their chicken Alfredo which was a little soupy but had good flavor. I just used the bread we had and dipped it in the sauce. My fiancé has the spaghetti with meatballs. He loved it and finished the entire bowl. I couldn't finish mine and decided to leave it behind. If you're in the Midlothian area check them out! read more

I'm not in Midlothian often but when I am, I make sure I grab a meal here! This hole in the wall restaurant tastes better than most 5 star restaurants. The people here have always been friendly. If dining in, you get unlimited rolls which are hard not to fill up on. Their salad house dressing is so flavorful- tomatoey with a little kick. I always get their lobster ravioli which comes with pink sauce and mushrooms. So many mushrooms! Save some of the rolls to dip into the sauce. I'm drooling. read more

Love their calzones. Very light and crispy crust with a delicious stuffing. Very authentic. Nice staff and good prices! read more

This is a great place to stop and have a quick slice of pizza with the kiddos! The people are incredibly kind and it's a quiet place to decompress. The prices are great too! read more

The server is so nice and straight from Italy which is a plus. The food is great and well price. The pizza was a home run, for sure will be back read more

The salad dressing was incredibly watery (it even tasted like it had been thinned out) and the salad itself had a lot of water. We got the bread rolls as an appetizer - it wasn't worth the money. They were dry, hard and very small. The pizza wasn't too bad. I guess. We got the margarita and it was all sauce, couldn't hardly taste or even see the mozzarella. Definitely not the same as it's been over the past years. Disappointing. read more

For our little Midlothian, the pizza is the star of the show. The pasta dishes get the job done when you need an Italian fix, but we do the pizza monthly at our house. Always my first recommendation for affordable, good quality pies - the crust finds that mix of crispy and chewy for sure. read more

The restaurant doesn't look like much (inside or out) but the food is good and the staff is friendly. I think it is good value for the money. read more

To go or dine in, this spot never disappoints. My go to is the "Trio" special, but all the dishes I've tried hit the spot. Ordering dine in can take some time in my experience, so get an appetizer. They're good! Pick up orders are always ready on time. The spot seems "Mom and Pop" with an attentive staff. Not a fancy spot, but homey. Everyone seems nice and friendly. Portions are good size too. read more

Perfect little Italian place! Perfect Pizza they have Neapolitan Pizza and deep dish Sicilian Pizza. The pizzas are amazing I like both styles, the crust is always fresh made. The owner is always present and he doesn't just run the place he cooks in the kitchen. They always serve complimentary homemade rolls and they are simple yet amazing! Calzones are fresh made as well and huge! Perfect local spot that has been in Midlothian for as long as I can remember. Highly recommend very fair prices. read more

Amazing food and service!!! I came from Dallas just to eat here and it was fantastic--cannot recommend it enough. Run by a great family too!

We love Villa Italiana. Food is great. Service is great! The family that owns and works there are great!

This is our favorite local family spot! We have tried pretty much everything on the menu, from pizza to calzones to main dishes, and it all tastes amazing. We continue to do take out from them during the pandemic because they're a locally owned store (super nice family) and it holds up great getting it home. Highly recommend! read more
