The spirit of Pizzeria Villaggio can be traced back to our traditional roots in Campobasso, a humble town filled with beautiful people in Southern Italy. Pizzeria Villaggio has been run by the Palladino family since opening in 1986. Borrowing our grandparent’s secret recipes and adopting their love of good authentic food, combined with the Italian values of creating a great family atmosphere for all age groups, has contributed to our success and longevity. We have a dedicated & friendly team who are passionate about using high-quality ingredients to produce delicious Italian food.

I love Italian food although, I rarely go out for it.
This place however changed that thought.
Firstly the service was impeccable the blonde waitress was very patient , polite and attentive and helped me decide on a pasta dish. I also had a brusheta with goats cheese.
The goats cheese was the best I've ever tried and the pasta dish was huge and very tasty.
Me and my friend also shared some tasty chips.
The bill was fair and included a 10 percent service charge which, I was happy to pay due to the amazing service.
I was recommended this place for a long time and will be back very soon.

It was a cold evening and we were seated outside. The cold wind made us quite chilly, but they do have heaters that make it at lease bearable. On a less cold evening, outside seating would be fine.
We enjoyed the food. The service was good. We may have stayed for dessert if it had not been a freezing cold evening.
I would certainly go again on a warmer evening. Pizza was great.

Friday early evening it was very busy. Our pre-booked table of 5 for a small family gathering was ready soon after our arrival. Great and attentive service with an authentic Italian feel. Food was excellent. A really enjoyable time was had and all at a very reasonable price. Will definitely go again 10/10.

Long list of pasta and pizza with plenty of vegetarian options. Was worried about outdoor seating and being cold but there were fires and outdoor heaters, so didn't feel the cold! Voucher system works well.

Lasagne was served to both of us cold . Was taken away then it came back and I wasn’t able to eat it as there was hardly any pasta and was just a plate of mince and sauce. Has to send it back. Ruined what was supposed to be a lovely lunch with my mum.
