I went into trying this food with great excitement, as I have heard many great things. I ordered the carbonara and unfortunately it just felt lackluster. The bread roll was also very stiff and the whole meal just tasted like the ingredients were off. As I am one person i hope that was just a fluke and I will be ordering again!! read more

We love coming to Villa Napoli. Great service, wonderful food, intimate, and warm atmosphere. Sonny, the proprietor is so gracious and friendly. I can easily say some of the best Italian food in Turlock! The minestrone soup is delicious, I ordered chicken piccata, and they added mushrooms, which I loved. I had a lovely salad. Home cooked with love and care. Definitely will return again and again. read more

Small clean place place, welcome ambiance and staff. Food was well prepared and clean. Freshly made bread and bruchatta was delicious. I had eggplant parmigane which was delicious. Good selection of wine. Only setback for me was pasta. Needed flavor and texture wasn't quite right. read more

The food is good but the service was disjointed. Very nice folks but it wasn't busy, and I saw a couple come in and the woman finally had to get up and ask for a menu. I saw that bread was delivered to some folks and they never gave us bread. They have olive oil and balsamic on the table for dipping. I know that they sell garlic bread but the bread I saw was not garlic bread. My wife had the Fettuccini Alla Bolognese and I had the Linguini Carbonara. Great sauce and plenty of food. We shared the large dinner salad. Fresh and flavorful. The dressing was a little dull. If you sit closest to the kitchen and the back door the lighting is bright. The rest of the restaurant had nice mood lighting but where were seated was kind of a bummer. The waitress said to sit at a table for two and they are only available in the back. I should have asked for a table for three in the front. There were plenty of empty tables. read more

My friend and I met here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. What a gem this place is! Small and charming for sure! Our server was very helpful and attentive. Food was amazing and well apportioned. We started with the caprese bruschetta. Bread was so fresh and soft, as was the mozzarella cheese on top. She had the sausage gnocchi and I had the chicken piccata. Everything was so delicious! I will definitely be back!! read more

The food was Gross! I ordered the lasagna and it came out looking like soup with some beige sauce and cafeteria ground beef the garlic bread was not what I expected either, It looked like little pieces of bruschetta bread and was cold on the inside. I am not exaggerating and while eating our meal 2 employees come out, 1 with a ladder and the waiter with an air filter! They were going to change the air filter then and there but I guess thought better of it read more

Yikes...this place was straight up not good. Our food consisted of the wateriest sauce I have probably ever seen from an Italian restaurant. I ordered the seafood ravioli and I am not joking when I say that my food as well as my wife's had this weird aroma/flavor of sewage. It was 100% not good. Consider avoiding and going elsewhere. read more

Stopped by for lunch while running errands. Small quaint place. Super friendly staff. Clean and inviting. I ordered the caprese bruschetta for an appetizer. I added some balsamic and it was very good! For my meal I ordered the gnocchi with grilled chicken in vodka sauce. Loved it. Very fresh and flavorful. I even bought an extra meal for lunch the next day. I would recommend this great little place for sure. I will be going back! read more

Okay.... Definitely exceeded expectations. You know that one scene from ratatouille? Where the critic takes one bite and he fantasizes into loving the food that was made? Yes that was me‍‍! We we're also told by our waiter the bread gave to us was made freshly an hour prior. I ordered the Pesto Gnocchi and let me just say, I hope to be back here again Nothing like Olive Garden, the two can't compare Villa Napoli over Olive Garden read more

Villa Napoli - Gnocchi Italiano (Pesto) - Italian Near Me - Turlock, California

We recently had Villa Napoli cater a retirement celebration for one of the most beloved physicians in our community, and the experience was beyond anything we could have imagined. Sonny and his team worked incredibly hard, from the beginning to very end. They were the first on site to prepare and the last to leave. The hors d'oeuvres spread alone was breathtaking, beautifully arranged. Dinner was thoughtfully prepared, hot, fresh, and made with love. Dessert was homemade Tiramisu with the most wonderful ice cream. Everything was flavorful, elegant, and perfect for the occasion. But what truly set this experience apart was the people behind the food. Sonny and his staff from Villa Napoli are some of the kindest, most genuine people we've ever had the pleasure of working with. They worked so hard to help us bring this celebration to life. They are so down to earth, extremely professional, treating us not just as clients, but as family: with such warmth, respect, and grace that it made the evening feel even more special. In a world where service can often feel rushed or transactional, Villa Napoli reminded us what it feels like to be seen and valued. This is more than a restaurant. It's a small family with a big heart. We will be recommending Villa Napoli to everyone we know, and we can't wait to work with them again. Thank you for feeding not just our guests, but our hearts. read more

Food: the menu offer a good variety of classic Italian entrees and pastas. My husband and i absolutely love the pasta Genovese which is the name for their Pesto Pasta. I think it normally comes on linguine but you can change the noodles if you'd like. We always had the grilled chicken that is always perfectly seasoned. We also love the Caesar salad that is always a good size and well dressed. Their minestrone soup is good tho not my favorite in town (that aaard goes to Angelini's). I think it's the macaroni they use for the noodle that I'm not wild about BUT the flavor is good. Ambiance: the restaurant is located in a random part of town and it's very noticeable from the outside BUT the inside is quaint, cozy, clean, and decorated. It has a real, family-owned, small Italian village vibe and I appreciate the intimate feel. Service: service here is always great. The owner/ manager always greats you as you come in and comes by the table to check on your experience. The service staff are knowledgeable and friendly and since it's a small restaurant you get plenty of attention. Quaint spot perfect for a date or family dinner. read more

So I have been to this location several different times, each time was better than the last. It's not the largest restaurant, however where it lacks in size it definitely makes up for in each and every other single area that matters. You get quality food, with a relaxing atmosphere where you're able to hear one another talk. And the owner is genuinely the nicest person I've ever met, and the waiters are very knowledgeable and attentive to their guests.. So if you want food with great service. This is the place to go.!! read more

We always order the same thing, heck we always sit at the same table too! The service is awesome! Charles is very personable, friendly, and attentive!! :) The dish we love the best, although we have tried a few different items there is... "Tortellini Romana Three cheese tortellini sautéed with bacon, peas, cream sauce, & sprinkled with prosciutto." (The description is straight from the online menu. It is heavenly! I like mine without onion or parsley. He has his with extra peas instead of onion. Either way, it is sooooo good! I don't eat bread very often, but my son & his dad enjoy the bread when it is super fresh, it isn't always consistent. That is the only minor critique. The ambiance is nice, it is a cozy little restaurant. We actually had not tried it until our nephew passed away, and his gf said he was supposed to take her there. Before we always dined at the other local Italian restaurant in Turlock. I'm so glad we gave this place a try. We have been dining here about two years now? It is worth it. Another dish I tried was... "Linguini Carbonara Linguini pasta tossed in a sauce made from eggs, cheese, bacon, parmesan cheese, & black pepper." I think it tastes great, although it is my 2nd choice compared to the tortellini. I enjoy mine with no pepper. It was a little heavy handed for me. Maybe a personal choice? But it tastes great with out it! There are several items on the menu I would like to try, but I usually stick to my "go to" tortellini. You can't go wrong! read more

Yes of course I recommend this lovely restaurant! It reminds me of old San Francisco restaurants and the food is really good. The service staff in this restaurant are genuinely warm and efficient, making good suggestions when asked. They seem to be very comfortable and happy in their positions here at the restaurant which reflects well on the owners. We've tried several entrees and they've been really good - especially the chef creations like "Little Sonny". We returned several times when ever we were visiting the area. read more

Wow! I just found the best little Italian gem in Turlock! I took my mom & great aunt out for lunch today...they both wanted Italian. Someone from my office had mentioned Villa Napoli so we have it a try! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! They were a few minutes shy of opening when I showed up with two seniors with walkers; the owner came rushing to the door, unlocked it and got us in and seated immediately! Now let's talk about the food...oh my word! Fresh baked bread that melted in my mouth, a chicken parmigiana that was so tender and moist, I almost sighed out loud while eating! Definitely going to be frequenting this place when in the area! read more

Ordered through doordash & was not satisfied. Sauce for the fettucine alfredo was super watery, and had no flavor. The heat from the pasta melted the styrofoam. Yet I was still charged $45. This presentation, and quality of food was worth abour $5 at it's best. All the flavorless sauce from my almost nothing chicken alfredo was all over the bag spilled. Bread rolls were cold! Never again. read more

We tried Villa Napoli before going to a show at the Turlock Community Theater and it was an excellent choice! We were early and I'm glad we made reservations as the small restaurant was mostly full by the time we were done with our meal. The service was fantastic and I wish I'd gotten our waiter's name but he made some great recommendations. The menu is full of choices and we are sure that you cannot go wrong with any of them! They brought out bread as a starter and it was obviously fresh baked as it was warm and very light. There was balsamic dressing and olive oil on the table for you to blend and use as a dip. The bread was very good! We started off with bruschetta and it was also freshly made. The bread was great, also fresh, and the vegetables and mozzarella cheese were tasty. I ordered their ribeye, which came with thinly sliced zucchini and a combination pasta in a tomato sauce. Fantastic! My lady had the lobster ravioli that had shrimp on top and came in a great Alfredo-type sauce. Her dish was also delicious. We will be coming back in the near future!! The restaurant is easy to find on Geer Road and was only maybe a mile from the Community Theater so I'd recommend having dinner here before your show. Heck, you don't really need a reason to come here for an unbelievable meal!. read more

Went here for dinner before my SAT the next morning. Overall, ambiance and food was great but the main dishes were lacking. Service was attentive, making sure to give us water and fresh bread. The bread was super fluffy and had a nice crust. They had olive oil and balsamic on the side which we used for dipping. We ordered the bruschetta for our appetizer and it was quite delicious. It was different than other bruschetta that I've had - bread was much more soft and tomatoes were less juicy. Our main dishes were the gnocchi with sausage and zucchini and the Chef Pasta. We both thought that there was too much sausage and the veggies were too big. We also ordered a meatball on the side, but it was quite dry and lackluster in flavor. Overall, it was not a bad experience. read more

Good food, but the night we were there, it was way too noisy for a small restaurant, and for the cost, you expect that the intimacy would require patrons to have more respect, and that whoever is in charge would ask folks with children to quiet down. It really ruined our meal. Otherwise, the food is excellent. read more

The fam wanted Italian, our normal spot was closed so we Yelped and found Villa Napoli. Service was excellent. The food was good. It's a cozy little spot, which leads me to my only complaint. The mini split AC struggled to keep the place cool in July. I realize it's not a food or service issue, but I'd recommend investing in central AC. If you don't mind being a little warm during the summer, I'd definitely recommend. Otherwise, wait for the fall and winter months. read more

Food was delicious and flavorful. I have ordered all things pasta and each dish was hearty, cheesy, savory and tastes like authentic Italian food. Service was impeccable and the ambiance is intimate. This is a small yet intimate setting for couples or small group dining. read more
