Trattoria La Villetta — Restaurant in Montreal

I’ve been to the restaurant twice so far. Last year, the food was a letdown, but this year it was good. For starters, I had the soup; a chicken broth with vegetables (tomato and a couple of others). It was very average. Table d'hôte is like 2/3 extra dollars so its whatever.

I ordered the table d'hôte rigatoni with a meatball. It was good, the sauce was a bit undersalted, but the herb mix in the tomato sauce was nice, and when combined with the melted cheese, it made for a tasty combination. The meatball, however, was a bit overwhelming, slightly dry on the inside, and lacking in flavor. Not bad overall, but I would have preferred smaller meatballs with a better cooking method. It seemed oven-cooked rather than pan-fried. Still, it was enjoyable to get a bite of meatball with the rigatoni and cheese would recommend.

My girlfriend had the ravioli. She said she liked it, but I tried one and I’m pretty sure it was frozen. Not a bad option, but I’m not sure I’d pay $25 for it. The sauce was either vodka sauce or some kind of cream sauce, and it was good, but I wouldn’t recommend the meat ravioli.

My friend had the carbonara. He said it was good and well-seasoned, but I didn’t taste it so I can’t say for sure.

The lamb rack looked amazing. It came with spaghetti, and I would definitely order it if I liked lamb (I don’t). My friend said it was cooked exactly to his request, with a well-seared crust that trapped the juices inside, just waiting to be released when cut open. Delicious, according to him.

The most underrated dish here is probably the pizza. I forgot how good it was and didn’t order it this time, but maybe I should have. It’s more of a “fancy” pizza (the kind you eat with a fork and knife) but it looks great: not too oily, generously topped, rich in flavor, with low cheese content on a crispy flatbread-style crust.

Overall, this restaurant is a solid spot to try on a weeknight if you live in the area. I wouldn’t drive across the city for it, but you’ll likely get a table right away, be promptly served, and enjoy good food, making for a solid...

I live in a 5-minute radius from this restaurant so delivery is always fast and food always arrives hot. However the quality has never been exceptionally good and has gone down even further. Tonight was likely my last time ordering from La Villetta, which is a shame as it’s a family-owned business I’d like to support and its proximity to me is very convenient.

The pasta is always very overcooked - I mention how close I live to this restaurant because I’ll be generous and factor in that the pasta continues cooking while it’s hot, but this is beyond what’s reasonable for a place 5 minutes away from me. Very bland food generally.

I used to really like the chicken parmigiana submarine sandwich, as it’s a very generous portion for the price. It used to be nice! Not the best, but great for a supper with half leftover for another meal easily. Tonight the chicken tasted strange and left a bad aftertaste in my mouth.

They used to make a very nice bruschetta but tonight I was served soggy bruschetta bread that was already soaked with tomato juice. I can’t help but to wonder if they served me someone’s leftovers? If not, then they clearly forgot that it was a delivery order after assembling the bruschetta, and were too lazy or too cheap to re-toast 2 rolls. This was reported to Uber Eats with photo.

They forgot the crema di caramella for our order as well.

These are all little things that normally I could overlook at a higher quality restaurant, but not when they’re all occurring in the same order. I can’t conscientiously continue to waste my money here when the food has gone from...

Best authentic Italian food, dog food surely. Or maybe its even worse to feed the poor animals. Never order any food or house wine there Wine tastes like vinegar Pizza had a undercooked, raw dough, probably not even made there. Basically its a disgrace to Italian food let alone to call it authentic. If its the last food on earth i would rather starve hungry than ordering anything here. Charged us 70$+ for basically a candy at the end. If you want to try a pizza, this should never be a place to go.

Update- Its also strange that maybe the Waiter did not realise that i had almost left the whole pizza and other person left all base. And no one said anything while payment. I was expecting someone to ask but the muted response at end was disappointing. The point of refund should have been there but now anyways its a little late as we are far away to come collect the refund.

I think you are confused or either lying. I dont know what. But we never took a takeaway box let alone whole pizza. We never ordered pasta. Just ordered two pizzas and wine thats all. I dont know what youre trying to do here but either you improve things or ignore but dont put wrong stuff. If you accept the pizza had a issue its ohk i agree but dont put stuff that never happened. If youre confused i understand but the review is a review. It shouldn’t go on like this. I dont see a point going ahead on this so just know thanks for the offer for the refund but its alright, however half of the things you...
