Villa Vinci — Restaurant in Wylie

This little Italian restaurant in downtown Wylie is one of my new favorite places. I have found my self trying new venues regularly and wanted Italian tonight. I stopped at a competing Italian restaurant just down the road only to find they were not open on a Monday. So on to plan B I did a little searching on the map app and found this place. The menu is quite extensive and has all the standard Italian favorites as well as some House Specialties. I had the Chicken Calabrese, and enjoyed every bite. The dish wasn't overly salted or spiced, and had the perfect consistency in the sauce. Many Italian places i eat at have runny sauces which not my favorite at all, but this place wowed my taste buds for sure. The front end fellas are very friendly and attentive to all the guests. I observed while in here the level of service they present with. It is a pleasant mix of attentiveness without being overbearing like some of the corporate restaurant trained service industry robots out there these days. Benny was a delight to interact with and really knows his business. additionally, Its location in historic downtown Wylie along with the modern, but still slightly rustic looks inside make it an enjoyable experience to spend an evening and feel almost like the place is all yours and not overly crowded with ample table spacing. The place is superbly clean and well kept.(even the restrooms are well kept). Lastly, for those who enjoy a bit of adult beverages, the wine selection is decent for this establishment, and they also have some common beer and liquor offerings to suit just about anyones tastes. Highly recommended by this guy, and I'll definitely be back. Only work of caution I have is Benny will "trick" you into some dessert no matter how full you might be. The Tiramisu I had...

Stepped right out of Wylie and right into Italy. We came for the craft show and left speechless by this hidden gem. This is not even close to average. Villa Vici sets the bar then surpasses it. The two gentlemen running the front have impeccable customer service. Some of these subpar reviews had to be on something. The waiter was excellent, my compliments to the chef. A touch of Parmasean and a sprinkle of pepper flakes and an explosion of delicious, my taste buds were having a party.

We started of with the garlic bread. Warm olive oil, butter and a sprinkle of Parmasean. Soft and fluffy like the person who made this was ordained for just this reason.

The Fettuccini Piemontese, there are no words to describe these noodles. The respect this place deserves for making these from scratch, if you know how homemade noodles taste you know. The steak was cooked to perfection as it it called the garlic, onions and peppers to join in on the festivities. The demi glaze and touch of cream accented this dish like a Maraschino does to an Classic Old Fashion.

Last but certainly not least the Pasta Alforno was THEE best I've ever tasted. Fresh mushrooms, thick bacon and the chicken, the chicken was superb. The white wine sauce tied and Mozzarella tied it all together like Chef knew this dish was meant to be. There are different variations of this dish, this bar a landslide to me the Best 👌.

Side note: Calamari didn't make it to the photos well because I ate it. The Tiramisu didn't make it either, guess you'll have to go in and try it yourself. And just to appease the haters, great food takes time, if you want fast food go to the...

Walking into "Villa Vinci" on Ballard Ave in the heart of historic downtown Wylie feels like stepping into a well-kept secret. This small trattoria exudes an unpretentious atmosphere that is immediately welcoming, embodying the essence of casual Italian dining. The ambiance, with its aging tables and straightforward setting, might not scream luxury, but it whispers home, comfort, and authenticity.

The staff at "Villa Vinci" are at the heart of the experience. Our waiter, Yaya, was a standout, proving that service can make or break a dining adventure. Though his Kurmanji might be better than his Italian, his service was fluent in the universal language of hospitality. Yaya's attentiveness and genuine warmth added a personal touch to our meal, making us feel welcome and part of the family.

"Villa Vinci" serves up dishes that would make any Italian grandmother proud. I had the eggplant parmigiana, a dish that, in its simplicity, requires a deft hand to perfect. It was sublime; each bite was a harmonious blend of rich sauce, impeccably prepared eggplant, layered over flawlessly cooked spaghetti, all beneath a veil of sumptuously melted cheese that whisked me away to Italy. We left with full stomachs and warm hearts, unanimously agreeing that the experience...
