Italian food is comfort food; it's rich and flavorful, warm and hearty, and it's best enjoyed with friends and family. Pasta is food for the body and the soul. We are a family-owned business serving up homemade Italian cuisine to the Stamford community since 1983. Every single dish over the years has been not only authentic, scratch-made pasta, our homemade desserts by Chef Neil Vitiello, seafood, pizzas and more crafted from our family recipes, it's been cooked and served with love too. What's better than enjoying great food with live music? Join us every Tuesday night for Tuesday Night Live Jazz, featuring superb area musicians playing music from the Great American Songbook, pop and soft rock from the decades. Once a month we host an open mic/live karaoke night with Chris Coogan backing you on the keys! From our family to yours, we look forward to welcoming you soon.

    This restaurant is an absolute gem. It’s located in the same building as a Hampton Inn (where we stayed) but unaffiliated with the hotel. What a wonderful surprise to find this place right downstairs. Nice bar and inviting tables. Our server was fantastic. She had many years of experience and was very knowledgeable about the menu. My husband had chicken Marsala which he thoroughly enjoyed. My aranchini and Caesar salad were some of the best I’ve ever had - and I’ve had a lot of both. Highly recommended!

    I have been going to Villa Italia for 20 years. Over all these years, the food, service and friendliness of the owners and the staff has been consistent and outstanding. Their Calamari Appetizer is a must, their Shrimp Scampi is delicious and their eggplant parmigiana is awesome and let us not forget their yummy tiramisu. All their meat disses and specials were always on the money and as expected. In my 20 years I have never been disappointed with any of their meals and I would also say neither were my quests. We have had small get together to department parties, have eaten there and have catered food from Villa Italia and were always delighted by the quality of the food and the service. I would recommend it to anyone who loves Italian food in general and love to have a nice variety of dishes to try. Bravo to the owners and staff who contributed to the success of this restaurant over the years.

    We went on a Tuesday night when they have live music. Entertainment was great but table conversation was impossible. Food was very good.
