About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
La Villetta, “cottage” in Italian, is housed in a former carriage house whose building dates back to 1910. This unique space features tones of emerald green, colorful blue, red and yellow stoneware and exposed brick walls giving it both an intimate and rustic feel. The emerald green and dusk blue are reminiscent of the stunning seas and coastline of Puglia, Italy. The region of Puglia is known for its legendary yet simplistic cuisine and boasts some of the best Mediterranean fare

    The restaurant is closed. They haven’t removed it so be careful when you make a reservation. It ends up you may eatdifferent place next-door that uses a similar name, but the restaurant was good next-door.

    This is my local Italian restaurant where I take my out of town guests. They are always impressed with the quality of the food, service, and ambience. A number have commented that it reminds them of dining in Italy.

    Attentive, courteous service. No rushing. Restaurant was full and tables close together but still quiet enough to carry on conversations. Food among the best in the neighborhood.
