Review of La Villa Italian Restaurant

My son and I went to La Villa on a Friday night. I was looking forward to eating something other than GF pizza and to dine in instead of eating on the road.

The interesting part about their offerings is that they offer a separate Keto menu. I could have ordered off their Keto menu instead, but I was looking forward to some pasta and sauce.

My son (not gluten free) ordered the mozzarella sticks and a 14-inch cheese pizza, and I ordered the Mediterranean Delight with gluten free pasta. The Mediterranean Delight has shrimp, mussels in the shell, and clams in a rosey sauce which is slightly spicy with basil.

The six mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce were served quickly. My son enjoyed them, and it looked like they had a beer batter quality to them.

Although the place was large with several people, our order was served in less than 10 minutes. The food was hot and delicious. My son described the crust as fluffy, and the dough was not too thick. It reminded us of classic NY style pizza. My dish was perfect. The shrimp was cut into smaller pieces, the clams were diced and swam throughout the dish, and the mussels were steaming. What I loved was that the seafood was cooked to be tender and not overcooked.

Unfortunately, they did not have any gluten free dessert to offer us, and we left full and satisfied.Our server Mac was very kind and courteous. We would love to return someday soon.
