Villa Bella — Restaurant in Virginia

I have been to this restaurant several times. The food is good, however it can be expensive depending on what you get. I always get the lobster ravioli which is very good, however I would have liked a little more sauce. I did as for a lot of sauce, however I am not sure the young waiter told the kitchen that? My grandmother go the chicken paramsane which was a little overcooked and little dry. I told her to tell the man, how she told the waiter before we left, which again I doubt he told the manager anything. My brother got fettuccine Alfredo and added chicken and it was $5 for some chicken, which is high. I thought the Alfredo sauce was too thin, and a little bland. My brother thought it was okay. This place can get loud, which it was when we went yesterday for dinner. There was a group that was getting a little. Loud. I did tell the hottest to let the manager know. It is not their fault, it's just that restaurant is not built with a lot of installation or acoustic absorbers or whatever is needed to absorb the sound. This trip we could not even have a good conversation unless we raised our voices a little. My uncle said he went with a group of men from church a few weeks or month ago, and he said the service was so bad in the back room that he had to go get water for the table, as no one was waiting on them, and did not check on them as they should have. The manager should have discounted meals or something, however I do not think anything was done. The food is good, and I would visit this restaurant again, however some things need to improve, and prices are a little higher for...

I’ve never even been. I was considering it tonight. I looked at their photos and pictures on yelp and Google. Some are posted by customers and others are posted by the restaurant to attract customers. I saw one and was like wow! That looks familiar. I zoomed in and the plate said BRIO! The restaurant in Fair Oaks mall. Unbelievable. Using another restaurant’s food images to attract people to your restaurant. Talk about false advertising and PLAGARISM. Claiming works of others as your own. Will NEVER eat here. The restaurant responded when I called them out in FB. Villa Bella: Ma’am thank you for taking the time to write this feedback. We have no control over what Yelp and google post to our page. If you look through our Facebook page, and our website you will find out dishes. We appreciate your concern, we have been a staple of the Burke community for 2 decades. We approach our restaurants with integrity and passion. Please find some of our pictures on our pages. Thank you! Lisa B.: Posted by the OWNER (Villa Bella) is very clearly labeled at the bottom. What a professional establishment to then try to gaslight someone despite obvious proof. You claimed your Google and Yelp page and submitted photos of your establishment. Psychopaths go for decades, sometimes their entire lives without being found out. How long you have been in business doesn’t speak to your integrity and who you all are shows very clearly in your response. “Find pictures on our page”. Ha! This is YOUR page. Claimed by you and customers writing reviews. On the bottom, you clearly see the poster...these photos were...

This establishment is right down the street from me. I go there for lunch some times, some times for dinner and sometimes for a cocktail and and appetizer. Doesn't matter when or why the food is always fantastic. The service is prompt, attentative and polite. There is character in this place, and I love it. Bennie the General Manager makes sure your dining experience will be remembered and you want to come back.

The food. So you read my reviews.. and I believe the first ingredient to good food.. love. Attention to detail and this establishment has both in full effect. So of course the sauce is the key thay opens the door to memorable experience and theirs is awesome. Gnocchi is off the chart and oh did I mention.. brick oven pizza!! The pizza chef is an artisan. Consistent, caring , and proud that's how would describe him. The pretty little bartender is always in a good mood and loves to entertain while she works she is a blast.

My wife and I love to sit at the bar and order appetizers and drink my lemoncello.. on ice.. stirred not shaked. I really like this place alot. Making it thru the past couple years in the restaraunt business hasn't been an easy task you got to have the type of love and passion that this place has. With Bennie at the helm this place flourishes, I cannot recommend it enough..

Let me end with this,

due pollici in su...two thumbs up.. and that only because I don't...
