Tried out Villa di Roma with friends on a bustling Thursday evening. Overall I had a great time, with tasty food and good service. The dishes we ordered were solid Italian fare, although nothing I tried was particularly noteworthy. It was also a little confusing to know where to go to get seated when walking in. Would come back if friends wanted to visit again.
Wow, some of the best red sauce (gravy? - I’m not Italian) I’ve ever had. I couldn’t even wait to get a full picture before digging in. The ambiance is classic Italian, the waiters are amazing. Clam pasta isnt the typical lemony garlic im used to, but nonetheless yummy. Meatballs are some of the best I’ve ever had, don’t tell my grandma. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Philly!
Villa di Roma is a South Philly staple of great Italian food. The food is always fresh and tastes great. Highly recommend this place for great food.
We stumbled upon this place on a Thursday evening and were able to get seated within five mins. It’s a lovely, family run, traditional, authentic Italian restaurant. We checked reviews before ordering and decided to start with mussels red (they were super tiny but the sauce was flavorful) and the fried asparagus (6 little pieces for $8 I think). Wouldn’t get either of those again. For entrees, we got ravioli and meatballs (8/10) and the seafood linguine (7/10 a bit too salty). Everything is fresh and made to order so that’s nice. There’s also a bar inside if that’s your thing ;)
Also, cash only.
We were in Philly for the NEQ Volleyball tournament. I wanted Italian and found this place with good reviews and did see online they are cash only. I walked on a Thursday evening for 25 min and planned to takeout but they were too busy. I decided to eat at the bar but it would take a while. They stopped letting customers order at the bar and I was so thankful I was the last one since I had to walk back. The lady working the bar area was awesome. I wished I would have gotten her name. She was friendly and the male host too. I ordered the shrimp scampi which was delicious (buttery and garlic)and they served it with bread. If you are in the area would definitely recommend.
I placed an order for 2 orders of manicotti and instead I was given 2 orders of eggplant parmigiana and rigatoni. I had confirmed my order before leaving and when I arrived at home, opened the bag this is what was packed. I drove 2 hours round trip for what I had been craving all week was manicotti. I paid more than what I had ordered. Extremely disappointed!
Spoke with owner and was comped. Food was excellent in addition to the incorrect order!!!!! Highly recommend this establishment for their excellent pasta entrees, fast service, professionalism, and ambiance!!!!!!
Been hitting Villa since I was a kid. Great Italian restaurant in South Philly! Definitely check out the Villa salad and I always wind up getting the Linguine di Abruzzi. Maybe one of these days I'll change it up. lol
Villa DiRoma finally reopened. The food was EXCELLENT as always. Tossed Salad, Shrimp Scampi, Grilled Asparagus to start. Then Baked Manicotti, and Steak with Shrimp with cherry peppers. One of the oldest and best Italian Restaurants in the city.
The food here was absolutely amazing! I had the chicken Neapolitan and my husband had the veal Sicilian and both were so full of flavor. Ordered a bottle of Bianco wine as well and it was the perfect compliment! If you are in the area you should give them a try.
Authentic Italian restaurant and bar located in the Italian Village of South Philly. Menu features endless options of pasta, meat and seafood dishes, and full bar has wide selection of beer and wines. Come here for date night or family night out, you won’t be disappointed.
