    We ordered the Blue Fin Tuna which came out well done; sent it back & it came back Raw. They tried to make it better but just couldn't. One should pass this $45 dollar dish up. Unfortunately, the side dish was the worst risotto I've ever had in my life. SMUSHY, bland and zero flavor. Service was 5 star with the front staff & bar service. The food presentation was beautiful. Unfortunately, the FOOD flavor had a lot to be desired.

    Took my partner for Mother's day dinner. My review is on a shorten menu on a very busy day. We had the roasted duck and filet mignon. Server was attentive and kind. The atmosphere was very welcoming. The food was good, safe , presented well. We will go back to try the main menu. Like I mentioned it would be unfair to judge the food by this day. If I would , there isn't much to remember. I do wish they were opened later.

    Beautiful sunny day for our later lunch reservation at Villani & Co Wellen Park Steak Seafood Raw Bar. Located a block from the waterway and is centrally located in the Wellen Park plaza. They show pride with the finest and freshest seafood and best quality steaks available. They offer delicious and artistically stunning culinary experience along with the best customer service! One of the most exceptional restaurants in the area. Our waiter Stu welcomed us right in on a cloud of sofistication and his service was classy. And can we mention some of the food? Yes....I would suggest for starters, the grouper bites, fried calamari, and the Mussels in a Thai coconut curry...so so tasty! Then, the grilled top sirloin with fingerling potatoes and wilted spinach, blackend grouper tomato lettuce sandwich on a gluten free bun, and grilled Faroe Island Salmon over spinach and cannellini. We were given a birthday dessert when we finished. Oh, and you've gotta try one of the best Key lime pie in a jar.....so so good! I would go back!

    First time at VILLANI & Co. looking for a place for a celebration dinner where we could get a nice steak and some fresh New England raw oyster (hard to find in Florida!) great service and great dinner! Pricey but worth it!

    The bottle aesthetic at the bar is great.

    Villani & Co. has easily become one of our go-to spots when we're downtown Welland Park. We love the atmosphere, it's trendy, open and perfectly sized for a cozy experience (plus there's outside seating as well). The food is good. The portions are nice and priced to what you expect to pay when you're at a steak and seafood restaurant. The service is always over the top and everyone is professional and friendly. My only gripe is when I've ordered drinks from the bar. The pours aren't as heavy as I wish they'd be. At times I feel like I'm paying $16 for a cocktail of juice. Each bartender makes the same drink, but with a different measure of ingredients and that makes them inconsistent. If I order a certain cocktail, I'm expecting it to taste the same way as the time before. That wont stop us from coming back.

    Caesar Salad w/ grouper bites

    First time visiting Villani's. We didn't have reservations and were actually planning on visiting one of the other restaurants here in Wellen Park. But we hadn't been here before so decided to walk in. As I said they require reservations even though there were plenty of empty tables that obviously must have been reserved. We were going to move on when the hostess got us a table. Place is nicely decorated inside and very roomy. Bar was fully stocked and had quite the selection of whisky and bourbon. After ordering a Mich Ultra for me and a Negroni for my wife we decided on an appetizer of Oysters Rockefeller that were quite tasty. Entrees consisted of a Caesar salad with grouper bites that my wife loved and the baked haddock with a buttery drizzle that really hit the spot. Waitress was very courteous and checked on us often to see if everything was good and if we needed anything. Overall we enjoyed our meals and would definitely come back.

    Brunch Time.... Very good

    First time having Brunch here and it was awesome, it was very quiet and the service was good. The two items we had tasted amazing and fresh.

    Fried greens Caprese style. Perfect!

    Tried this place on a whim. Not a fan of manufactured Town Centers but Wellen Park is actually attractive. Expected the San Destin style, pricey yet frozen 'fresh' experience. I was totally wrong! Service from seating, to bussing to my waiter, Dylan were on it. Dylan took his time with me & explained the dishes accurately. Everyone seems to be on the same team and obviously well-trained. Sent a pic of the seasonal Oyster menu to wifey to make her jealous. I opted for the outrageously low priced premium Dinner for Two special. I am down for two weeks & I wanted left overs for my work trip. I started with the Fried Green Tomatoes with balsamic, italian style. Ate all 6! For dinner(s), I got 6 large scallops and fingerling taters, and, the Grilled Grouper. Both were large portions, came with two premium sides, and tasted and smelled fresh. I finished the scallops, broccoli and grilled asparagus as left overs. Still good. Tonight, it will be the Grouper. Oh, the Dinner special comes with either a red or white wine (which is Lagniappe at this point) and your choice of dessert! Took the delightful Italian organic Pinot Grigio home unopened, & gave my dessert to the busboy. I hope my experience is typical, as I cannot wait to bring wife here for her Oyster fix, and me for Grouper again. Oh, and the Grigio, Alverdi!

    Snapper, fingerling potatoes and broccoli
    Kate E.

    We had made a reservation for outside dining, so we were so glad that with all the rain that day they easily moved us inside. Would have been great to sit outside, but the inside had a nice cozy but modern feel and it was nice the tables weren't too crammed together and crowded. I really liked their menu. What was unique about it was a listing of seafoods, a listing of other cuts of meats, and a listing of sauces. You could create your on entrée from those options in addition to choosing two sides. I loved the customization of it. I ended up choosing the snapper with lemon dill tartar sauce with fingerling potatoes and broccoli. It was all really good, but surprisingly the snapper was a bit overcooked in my opinion. It had some drier spots especially on the ends where it was thinner. The sides were the standouts for me - both cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. You could tell they were prepared with intention and not just a quick job thrown on the plate. I personally really appreciated that! I'm thankful our server was very accommodating and helpful when I had questions re: gluten free options. They don't have a special gluten free menu, but she was very thorough in explaining what I could have and even checked on some things with the chefs for me. It meant a lot she went out of her way on some things too that I hadn't even asked about. I will certainly be returning!

After golf we prefer the bar rather than the main dining room. Their bar menu has shrimp tacos, beef Wellington, mussels and ahi tuna and many other upscale meals. We do miss the live music in the lounge. Sigh. Folks if you want a fantastic meal this is where you need to go. The main dining room has a fantastic menu which includes steakhouse fare and one or two seafood dishes. The lounge has an upscale bar menu. All in all I have no idea why it was so easy to get in. I'm guessing that many Floridians were up north for the holidays.

We didn't have a reservation but were seated promptly in about 10 minutes. This must be a popular place for celebrations as we were asked by 3 different people, literally every employee we interacted with, if we were celebrating anything...tonight we were just celebrating dinner! I was prepared to splurge and spend any amount of money tonight. Started with a couple of old fashioned drinks. They had an impressive Bourbon menu, however...They didn't have the Blantons Gold, didn't have the regular Blantons, No Eagle Rare, only had enough Four Roses for one, it was hard to get anything special as the actual selection was limited. We ordered the $22 Bacon wrapped scallop appetizer and were disappointed to only get 3 very small scallops. They were good but we expected more for the price. How do 2 people split 3 tiny scallops? They came on a bed of spinach, which I enjoyed. I ordered the 11oz strip steak with blue cheese crust which was cooked as ordered and tasted fine. Nothing special, but a decent steak. My wife enjoyed the pink snapper however, she ordered rice and it came with potato wedges instead. Our server was very nice and was attentive. However the second round of drinks took too long to come to the table. Like 15 minutes too long. Our meal with appetizers and drinks and tip was around $200. We will definitely come back and I might even try their all you can eat bbq option. Maybe I'll be celebrating something...
