La Villini — Restaurant in Town of Huntington

Extremely disappointing dinner last night. If not for the penne marinara which was excellent, this would have been 2 stars at best. The meal started with good sesame Italian bread served with butter. Very surprised olive oil wasn't on the table or even offered. We got eggplant parm, veal Parm and penne marinara. Note the proteins are served without pasta as every dish is family style and a la carte. It is nice they offer single and large portion options. But that's where the good ended except for the service. Because of the family style it gets expensive for two people but is more reasonable for large groups.

The portions were good but the sauce on the eggplant and veal was extremely bland. There was no apparent seasoning except for the soapy aftertaste. The eggplant was cooked ok but the veal was difficult to cut and was way overcooked. It had the texture of cardboard.

We were so disappointed we didn't want to risk getting dessert.

The service was good but slow. Tables were left unbussed for 15 minutes after they were vacated. The staff was very friendly but seemed overwhelmed as it was extremely busy.

There are way better options in this area so we do not...

Went there on Saturday the 18th of October. For my daughters 25th bday. We booked a table for 8 at 5 pm. A gigantic party of 16 to 20 ppl waltzed in and they crammed them right behind our table. They had about 8 kids who were the most rudest group. Their parents were nasty and kept making us move our chairs in so they could keep passing by. At one point a boy crawled under where my friend was sitting. She had to tell him to get up which the father didn't care for. They were such a rude family with no parenting skills. I told the girl as we left that the kids were banging their toys and cups on the table she said ..sorry. I called the next day to talk to an owner or manager. Spoke to frank who told me its a busy Saturday night. He did nothing and didnt care that our party was ruined. We dropped a large amount of cash there that night and we've been going there for dinners many years. I wanted frank to at least offer an apology and give some type of credit because of the horrible way they handled our issue. Needless to say they lost a customer and all of the people I know will not be going. Not a good...
