    Stone crabs were cooked perfectly, but the shells were not cracked well. It was difficult to get the meat out. Steak was not a good quality. Water glasses were not refilled till the end of the meal. Very slow service. Pasta was dry, had to ask for more sauce. Seafood was good well. Overall, not worth the price of the dinner.

    Food and service was great as usual. We’ve dined there many times, but the one thing I’ve learned about this place, is to bring a sweater. It’s always like a meat locker in there. Perhaps comfortable for the wait staff, but uncomfortable for most diners.

    I made a reservation. When we got to the restaurant we were promptly seated. Our server came over shortly after we arrived and was very attentive throughout our meal . 3 of our meals were brought out together the 4th meal came out about 5 minutes later. The staff was very apologetic. The food was very good and the presentation was also appealing. The decor is very modern and tasteful. All in all the restaurant is a winner in my book.

    Had a great lunch here …restaurant is quite beautiful and roomy …waitress was just beyond great …friendly and pleasant …took great care in doing her job so well …the pear and brie sandwich with those unbelievably tasty french fries could not have been any better. Dessert hit the spot along with the well made Mojito. Will definitely be frequenting Villani & Co more regularly.

    First time at Villani & Co. Place has more of a bar vibe than upscale restaurant. Bar is certainly the main attraction. Had grouper bites as appetizer. Average. No better than any other place. Wife had grouper sandwich and side salad. Salad was jus lettuce and a few cucumber. Seriously? The grouper was good but again, just like any other place. I had the bo e in ribeye. So disappointed. Steak was paper thin. Cooked correctly but not overly flavorful. The horseradish sauce tastes like it doesn't have any horseradish. Server was very good. Knowledgeable and attentive. Overall not worth the price. Cannot recommend.

    Great food, service and ambiance. This was my second visit. The salmon and New York strip are fantastic. Definitely save room for the gelato!
