Neighbourhood gem
Good for business meals
Good for special occasions

This family-owned gem, nestled in the heart of Murray Hill, has been serving delicious food since 1981. There is a warm Mediterranean feeling to the setting; a perfect showcase for the exceptional Italian & Croatian food that is served.

The menu features many homemade pastas, classics, and Croatian delicacies, such as seafood Buzara (traditional Dalmatian stew with sea bass, shrimp and clams) and Pasticada (traditional meat with gnocchi). Seasonal items are also available throughout the year, such as soft shell crabs and lager-infused roast pork. Also featured is the Osso Buco, braised veal shank over rice or gnocchi, Vitelli alla Griglia, a signature dish showcasing the broiled king veal chop, and the Pollo Berulia, a chef's special of chicken sautéed in white wine with wild mushrooms and artichoke hearts. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are also available. The extensive wine list features an array of Italian and Croatian wines.

This was a holiday dinner with co workers. We were seated immediately when we arrived for our reservation. This is a cozy restaurant with stuccoed arches and elegant Christmas decorations. Our waiter John was outstanding and was engaging and made good recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their food and cocktails. The only thing I could criticize was the bread brought to the table was lackluster. Regular Italian bread cold as was the butter. A warm crusty bread would have been nice. Overall great restaurant and experience.

An exceptional Italian dining experience. The mushroom ravioli was tender and flavorful, while the penne with eggplant and red sauce was hearty and well-seasoned. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and attentive service—highly recommend!

Great local Italian restaurant in Murray Hill that treats everyone like family and locals. Went after the theater and had a great time in a very cute and intimate spot that isn't flashy but high on cozy and warmth. Service was outstanding, food was solid with large portions and fair pricing for the quality of the product they provide. Kudo's to the team @ Villa Berlin.

Un pequeño restaurante familiar con alta gastronomía y servicio impecable. El osobuco y las pastas son lo mejor. Cenar allí te transporta al norte de Italia.
