Reviews of Villa Italia

J. D.

Amazing Italian restaurant in the centre of Belfast. Delicious food, quick, efficient service and friendly staff. The management obviously expect high standards from their staff and the waiters and waitresses seem pleased to give their best. So they are obviously well treated by their managers. There was a great atmosphere and the decor gave it an authentic Italian courtyard restaurant feel. It was packed with happy diners. Large portions and good value. I'm happy to give it 5 stars.

A. H.

An authentic Italian restaurant serving great pizza, pasta and also home-made tiramisu. Nice decor and friendly staff too. Only disappointment is the fried chicken nuggets for kids which are a bit dry. Place is really popular so will need to book well ahead for Sunday lunch.

N. D. P.

Buzzing place with friendly service, and quick service if you know what you want. Sadly my Carbonara had sauce without much taste, and it's bacon tatsed like ham (but that could be just me as I find that all bacon in the UK tastes odd/different than what I'm used to). Yet, reasonable prices for good portions so price-quality(-amount)-level should satisfy you.

M. S.

Service was pretty reasonable though had to chase up one of the starters, food was fine verging on great. Beautiful venue.

M. K.

Excellent vegan pizza. Shame there were no vegan desserts or non-dairy milk for the coffee. But the staff were lovely and the service was excellent.

G. D.

Very delicious tagliatelle al salmone. Service was a bit slow but the staff were very friendly. Loads of choice on the menu and reasonable prices

I. H.

🌟 I would say this is the best Italian restaurant around the Botanic Area. A very popular one. Freshly made pizza, pasta, steak, seafood, etc. Very delicious. Reasonable prices. 🌟 Try the dessert menu — various choices. Homemade tiramisu — highly recommended. 🌟 Excellent service. Helpful and friendly staff. 🌟 A spacious restaurant with lots of seats. Vivid atmosphere. Beautifully decorated inside. Free & fast Wi-Fi connection. 🌟 Great location. Very near the main site of Queen’s University Belfast.

We love this place. Food is so delicious!!! And great atmosphere. Definitely recommend

S. V.

Lovely food,def will be back! Such a lovely staff!

Five of us arrived around 9pm to this resturant with no booking, I thought we were gonna get turned away because it was so busy 'Dont worry, I will get you seated' we were told after being greeted warmly. I had one of my most enjoyable restaurant experience to date here. Great atmosphere, great food and excellent service. I highly recommend this place.

G. M.

Surprised I have never been before. The menu is very varied and all the food we got was excellent. The staff were very accommodating and attentive.

R. H.

We looked up best Italian in Belfast & it suggested here. We definitely weren't disappointed. My little girl can be a picky eater but she loved her pizza. Both my husband & I really enjoyed our mains & dessert. Go here you won't be disappointed.

G. M.

Fantastic dinner out with family. Super fast service and friendly staff. Great menu choices and beautiful atmosphere and decor. Not sure about prices as we were guests but ill definitely go back in a heartbeat. To end the fabulous dinner, i reccomend the desserts... The are to dye for!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good food, very good service and a pleasant atmosphere

J. M.

A very enjoyable evening with some visiting friends. We were served promptly, the meal was fabulous, deserts were absolutely delicious and we will definitely return. I recommend booking. Thankfully we did so we didn't need to join the queue waiting to see if there were tables free.

O. K.

Very nice Italian atmosphere. Friendly welcoming staff, great service throughout. The food was excellent. I will definitely go back, but make sure to book online or by phone. It's a popular wee spot.

D. M.

First time in last night . Welcome good shown to our seats upstairs then left for 15 mins without a menu or a offer to get our drinks for ourselves. After the initial waiting service was very good food was excellent and the wine lovely . Very busy , book ahead , we will go back and try again .

J. T.

Great restaurant and service ! Lots of choice and quite amenable to amendments to suit certain dietary needs

T. M.

Had a beautiful meal here saturday evening. Service was excellent. Helpful and friendly staff. And a decent price. In fact I ate too much and could face one of the delightful desserts. Until the time keep the great service up. 10/10

D. C.

Great food and service from an Italian. The pear starter and linguine with prawns and nduja was great. Reasonably priced too

K. S.

I felt that I was in a restaurant in Italy. The food amazing...delicious 😋...tha staff very very friendly...well done ✔for the staff...and the housekeeping so so clean...It was my first visit there,definitely I will go again and again.....

Here with family...adults and children..suited us all. The staff exceptionally helpful and friendly. The food was excellent..a superb choice. Definitely be back soon. Great to be able to book

M. O.

A Sunday dinner. Bunged. Always good food. Service was a bit slow. But given that they were queued out the door,it was fine. A great place for a family occasion.

N. S.

Although extremely busy the whole time we were there our food and service was great. Great for families or couples. I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in Belfast.

J. M.

It's been well over ten years, since my last visit. The food is excellent and so is the wine! Staff are brilliant too.

G. H.

Hugely popular eatery in Belfast. Been there for years which is possibly part of the problem. Taking their clientele for granted the food is over priced, below par and served in a noisey chaotic atmosphere. Won't be back

R. V.

Absolutely, utterly amazing!!! Loved everything about this place. Beautiful welcome from staff, nice table offered to us. Staff were ever so lovely, polite and welcoming. We ordered everything we wanted, all different dishes to get a good feel of the menu, 3 starters, 3 mains and 2 desserts. The quality and taste were absolutely out of this world. We loved every single bite. Totally recommend for a celebration, family gathering, Sunday meal or meal with work colleagues.

W. H.

Excellent food and service at a great price. We went on a Thursday night and it was packed, that's always a good sign if a restaurant can fill seats mid week.

A. N.

Service was top notch, food was even better! Make sure you book in advance (over a week) to get a table. 100% would recommend 🙌🏻

d. h.

Food is decent at a decent price, the sauce on the duck was fantastic. Good service . Mostly happy , but 2 pint bottles of beer was 14 quid ? Call the cops ......

C. D.

Even at 5.30pm the place was filling up, and we were glad we had a table reservation. We placed our order and it was served very quickly and the plates were hot, some restaurants won't even warm a plate,. Any way we had a lovely tasty meal and would recommend this restaurant

U. P.

Always nice to eat here. Its good food and great service

C. M.

Amazing food but make sure and book in advance. Very pleasant staff

A-maz-ing

A. C.

Food was superb, service excellent, atmosphere was great. It was very busy with a mixed age group of dinners, can’t wait for a return visit.

E. D.

Fantastic food. Kids meals were great with a great deal of a pizza, drink and Ice cream for only £7.

M. B.

Food and service excellent as usual! Sadly the seating, I think, could do with a bit of a clean. I think the plastic hanging vines could go. Not only are they outdated but I think they are a health hazard, especially in our current Covid situation. Apart from that, since its opening the Villa is one of my favourite restaurants. Reliable and consistent standards!!

T. G.

First time and fell in love with this place. Food was great. Will definitely back soon. Thank you

C. B.

We had our first meal in Villa Italia at the weekend and can't believe we haven't been before. It was faultless. We had a booking for another restaurant close by and when we arrived they left us waiting for 20 minutes and then gave our table to another party. Walking back to the car we passed villa Italia which was packed but thought we would try anyway. We were asked to wait about 15 minutes and directed to the bar upstairs. We had literally just got our drinks when the waitress came up for us to take us to our table. There was a very large selection on the menu, something for everyone. We didn't have to wait long after ordering for our meal to be brought out and the waitress was very attentive. The food was excellent and we had a dessert which was also excellent. Lovely vibrant atmosphere, lovely authentic surroundings and fantastic food and service. We've booked to go again soon. We had a lovely evening and would highly recommend. Five stars all round!

L. F.

Love this place never fails to deliver great food the lamb is fantastic unfortunately it's that nice I can't pull myself to try anything else 🙈🤣🤣.

S. D.

Friendly service and delicious meal, nicest tagliatelle I've had in years also!

C. B. (.

Lovely restaurant to bring people out on dates and family dates. Gorgeous food and lovely staff members. Busy place indeed. I admire the staff.

G. H.

Food was OK. Service was OK. The guy that seated us was welcoming, lovely and friendly. I had carbonara and crepes. The pizza looked good.

S. J.

Staff looked after us well, we arrived without a booking hoping to get dinner before a trip to the cinema and were seated within a few minutes. Service & food were great.

N. G.

3 hungry tourist came here, we left very satisfied, not very expensive. If you're close by and not sure where to go this is a good place Only critique was service was a tad slow - but friendly.

L. R.

Had a unbelievable meal with friends for my birthday, service was great and the food was delicious, gets better every time we go

T. G.

Reasonable food at a reasonable price. Service a bit hit hand miss. Some were great but one guy kept handing us drinks rather than put them on the table and stretched over plates to collect glasses. Perhaps it was his first day.

C. F.

Very nice food and good service. A wide menu made sure there was something for everyone. My only complaint was we were waiting a while for our main course after we finished our starters. Would definitely recommend it as long as you aren't in a rush.

D. O.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! We booked in to take our daughter out to celebrate her first Holy communion and so many compliments flowed throughout our time here. We were greeted by a lovely staff member and the owner Tony came over upon seeing us and gave us a lovely seat by the window. Our drinks were ordered and we had Strawberry Daiquiri, a mocktail and a pineapple juice - they had no strawberries however instead of saying they couldn't make it, they sent a staff member out to Tesco to get some for our drinks. We ordered a pizza garlic bread with cheese for starters and it was truly devine, perfect with all the flavours and consistency etc. Next I had Penne Alla Conte - Oh My Goodness, this was literally THE BEST meal I have EVER tasted, it was bursting with flavour and the right amount of pasta on the plate. My daughter had Spaghetti Carbonara and had to take hers home as she'd eaten so much garlic bread she was full up. My husband had the Salmon with the yummy crust - I've forgotten the actual name of it but he said it was lovely also. For dessert I got the Sticky Toffee Pudding that was nice and light and had a swimming pool of caramel and toffee sauce surrounding it and a scoop of honeycomb ice cream on top, so so good. My husband had Pecan Nut Pie and said it was delicious, my daughter had crepes with chocolate and marshmallows - again they didn't have marshmallows so the staff member went to the shop again and got big and mini marshmallows, chef put them on the crepes and Tony came out with both bags and told my daughter to take them home with her. We have had the most amazing evening and cannot wait to come back soon

Food was okay. A lot of staff walking around but can't get someone to take your order. Can think of a better Italian in Belfast

N. F.

I did not enjoy my last visit to Villa Italia, and so have not been there in years. Visited here on a Tuesday night. The menu items' names are in Italian so forgive me not going and researching. We had the deep fried calamari type dish and the rice balls to start. A chicken special, which was chicken stuffed with asparagus and bacon in a creamy sauce; and a chicken stuffed with bacon and garlic with a mushroom sauce dish. ALL the food was delicious! I was at the chubby cherub recently, which is meant to be the best Italian around, and I would rate this higher for sure. Service was polite, pleasant,friendly, and the speed of service was fantastic!! Would definitely recommend. All the food going out looked and smelled amazing. (Forgot photos of starters as my stomach took control)

R. V.

Food was authentic Italian, good service even though it was very busy the food came around quickly. Didn’t have to wait much. Overall very seamless service. The interior is like an Italian villa very traditional.

R. G.

What a great place to eat... Good food, great company, good wine and beer. A lovely setting, you can't go wrong

J. M.

M. D.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and lovely food.

R. L.

I had a lovely dinner with my family at Villa Italia. The service was fantastic and the food was so flavoursome. For dessert I ordered a crepe, it came with cream, ice cream, chocolate and fudge/caramke sauce and 3 crepes. It was delicious!!

N. M.

One of my favourite restaurants! Food is out of this world and the atmosphere is always good. Staff are always very friendly and accommodating. Couldn’t fault it and would highly recommend

D. W.

Delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. Staff really friendly and warm - would definitely come back here. Really impressed.

F. C.

Catered so well for a large group of 11 adults and 9 children. All food brought together and orders all correct. Couldn't ask for better. Was the same when we had a larger group of 26 back in August. Exceptional service and top class food.

C. G.

Great find near Queens University with cosy decor and great selection of food and drink. Genuine Italian food and cuisine. Staff were very friendly and helpful in food choice. You won't be disappointed

M. M.

Lovely place to eat very efficient staff and also helpful reasonably priced 👍

s. b.

Had a fantastic meal as usual and our server Lucy L couldn't do enough for us. Friendly family atmosphere and overall a most enjoyable dining out experience. We'll deserved 5 stars xx

A. G.

Absolutely fantastic staff, I can't do stairs and I didn't have to ask about the lift and asked straight away if I needed the lift. Food was excellent

G. M.

Great service and great food. Was passing by one evening looking for pizza in Belfast. I saw a queue outside and thought I would not have a chance. However there was no issue at all and was sitting at a table within 10 minutes. The staff were very efficient and friendly. The pizza was amazing. Can’t wait to go back again

m. h.

I have been going here for years and it rarely disappoints. Foods great and prices are very reasonable! Worth a try!

c. s.

Food is great and good value for money. Menu has pizza and itlain dishes. Can get ready busy on Saturday's night but worth the wait.

G. W.

All A Great Restaurant To Visit. Great Food, Good Service And Excellent Value For Money. 👌

d. d.

This was a wonderful evening out. Staff are friendly and look like the enjoy where they work which is lovely to see. The atmosphere was lively and upbeat and the food was amazing! The prices for what you get are really surprising I believe our entire meal and drinks for two came to less then 70 pounds. Could not reccomend this place enough but be sure to book ahead cause they were very busy

J. N.

Really enjoyed this restaurant! Great atmosphere, delicious food and nice staff. A cool place to go in couple or with a group of people.

C. m.

Never lost it's atmospheric charm and food fantastic as ever

Not been in years. Food was great. Reasonably priced. Will be back

S. R.

My favourite restaurant in Belfast. Really cute inside and good food!

D. B.

Best steak in Belfast, never disappoint. Always a great meal. Choc fudge is amazing

M. R.

Food was fabulous, best decor is upstairs. Closes at 10pm though.

Was expecting a bit of standard Italian fare, but was very impressed with the quality of food, speed and friendliness of service and atmosphere.

J. W.

The food here is just amazing, I haven't even been when it's not been absolutely packed. Always a place I go when I'm in Belfast. Staff are lovely and great service.

S. B. S.

Recently visited with my boyfriend and it exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent and despite it being super busy, the service was fab. Amy (our server) was so friendly and made us feel so comfortable and welcome, a big shoutout to her for making our night so enjoyable. Will definitely be coming back

a. n.

Delicious meal 😋

L. N.

Lasagna was great! Warm and inviting atmosphere.

R. S.

Good occasion freindly crew food atabted to irish Standard rather more then italian but giod 👍

First impressions on arrival weren't great as the door man couldn't find our name on his list. Good way to make your customers welcome. Ordering a lemonade, my daughter was presented with a tiny 250ml mixer bottle which less than half filled her glass. Having put the negatives out of the way, the food was tasty and plentiful and we had a decent meal.

L. G.

Warm Italian family atmosphere. Lovely food and great service.

K. M.

Such a beautiful family run restaurant. Staff, service, food, ambience is just simply wonderful. Home from home. Highly recommended. Lots love Kelly, Jessica, Emily ❤️ each and every time excellent. See you again soon

s. s.

Lovely place friendly staff with great food. 11 of us went out for a 60th the seats we had were on top of each other and not enough space to get out of your seat without being on top of the person behind you

N. H.

delicious food, beautiful place. And the staff are excellent. we had a slight issue with one part of the order, just a mix up and they couldn't have been nicer about it. kept us topped up with drinks the whole evening. definitely we'll be back.

C. Q.

Lovely meal! Doesn't accept reservations for under 6 people which means it's always easy to get a seat.

M. H.

Hadn't been here in years, and on our return visit it didn't disappoint. Service was excellent, menu was very broad with something for everyone. Food was excellent as were the desserts. Great restaurant

b. w.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food, the pizzas were massive and the pasta portions were big too. I had the stuffed chicken which was full of flavour, service was attentive

J. S.

This is quite a beautiful spot with a lovely atmosphere, but the food just isn't anything special. Good for an in-and-out dinner, but there are plenty more exciting spots in Belfast.

L. W.

From the moment you walk in you feel as if your in a restaurant in Italy. The staff are warm and welcoming. The food is outstanding. Wide range of options on the menu. If you enjoy Italian food and are in Belfast definitely book a spot here worth every penny!!

F. M.

Amazing atmosphere, beautiful decor, food was superb. We didn't have a booking but the staff were amazing and got us seated within 10mins. We were visiting from the South and will most definitely be back

G. M.

Good food, but a lonnnggg wait between courses

S. T.

The atmosphere was very nice, staff were lovely. Unfortunately the pizzas were not great. The pizzas were ready in less than 5 mins which sounds great but they must have been heated up and made before hand. The cheese wasn't great and they were quite greasy, felt a bit indigested afterwards.

G. o.

Brilliant Italian restaurant.. we always try to visit this restaurant when we're visiting Belfast... Food is amazing and great staff. I would highly recommend going book a table you won't be disappointed.... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

B. R.

Excellent service with very friendly staff. Although the restaurant was super busy, we only had to wait 10 mins for a table for 4. Would definitely recommend and definitely return.

D. M.

Nice restaurant, but maybe we were unlucky with the waitress. Clearly new to the whole deal or just nervous. Anyway. The problem to me is that I ordered a well done steak that was fully burnt and half medium rare. If you will charge over 25 quid for a steak. What is absolutely fine. Do it right or just don't.

G. H.

Lovely atmosphere and staff were great. They were friendly on arrival and throughout meal, checking food was okay & offering more drinks. Food was disappointing. My patrner had fish. The vegetarian menu was limited & be careful- the raviloi is advertised as vegetarian but IS NOT VEGETARIAN. It includes rennet unless you ask for it without as the hard cheese is grated on top. It was very bland and the ravioli shells were overcooked and falling apart.

B. D.

Excellence in all things, service, quality of food, have loved this place since the 80's when I lived in Belfast. Holds many great memories!

R. B.

First class service and the staff were so welcomeing and nothing was no problem to them, food was absolutely fantastic would go back

B. M.

My family took me to Villa Italia last night to celebrate my birthday. It had been a some years since I was last in the restaurant and to be honest, the last time I was there I thought it was ordinary. Last night however far exceeded my expectations. The welcome at the door was warm and inviting. We were given a choice of where to sit and we chose a table by the window upstairs. The menu was so varied and appetising it made it difficult to choose what to eat. The food when it arrived was hot and freshly prepared and was so tasty. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food as evidenced by the cleared ates. Last but not least, the waitress was so attentive and helpful, particularly as my wife has a nut allergy. I would recommend the restaurant 100% and will definitely be be going back for a return visit.

C. P.

D. O.

Massive restaurant and looks beautiful inside ! My starter battered squid and prawns was beautiful but unfortunately my seafood linguine was very poor!! bland taste to it and the mussels weren't fresh probably frozen! It's a shame they couldn't scouce fresh mussels it's not hard!! I've been to a small restaurant down the road from here called D'Arcys and they have fresh mussels so I really don't understand why they can't have fresh mussels here!!

R. M.

F. M.

Fabulous food and service. Looking forward to my return visit 😊

D. F.

Felt a little rushed and food was prepared far too quickly to assume it was made to order, although the food was of good standard and the deserts were very good. Good atmosphere and reasonably priced.

D. M.

Food looked great and tasted nice for the most part. The seafood did not taste fresh in my opinion.

C. M.

Celebrated my husbands 50th & daughters 18th birthday last night with family. Amazing food & service as always! All food arrived at same time for party of 14 with no-one waiting for food. Staff were extremely attentive & very polite. Best pizzas in Belfast 🍕 - thank you Villa Italia!

S. M.

Had a beautiful meal, staff very attentive and welcoming, my pasta was awesome and my partner pizza was amazing also, we will be back and sorry for not giving a five star, just that the toilets were a bit of a walk, other than that, it was perfect and Thank you

G. S.

Lovely rustic atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff great food! Only negative point is that it is often noisy and busy, but that reassuring that it's popular! Love it!

a. a. c. c. a. m.

Awesome food and very reasonable prices we'll worth a visit

I went to Villa Italia on Sunday for a meal. Food there is excellent. Villa Italia is on The University Road area of Belfast. Staff are very friendly & helpful. Bear in mind that you must wear a Face Covering & Social Distancing is in place as well. As from the 29/11/2021, you are required to bring a Covid Passport & photo ID Enjoy Villa Italia & have a nice meal. Stephen Acton.

Favourite place to eat in Belfast. Decent food, but more importantly a very warm atmosphere.

Food was good, service was slow but it was busy enough so overall not too bad

R. S.

Really great food quick serving and very friendly personal

P. H.

Food was fab and lovely staff

d. c.

It was really lovely an served very smoothly with friendly staff , loved it 😍

L. F.

Didnt wait to long to be seated even though had not booked. I had the spaghetti carbonara but also got a carry out carton to take home for lunch next day as there was too much for me

M. a. H.

Beautiful interior, well set out, restaurant staff very friendly, great menu to chose from, food was excellent, would highly recommend

N. C.

the food was mighty and great service but now I'll tell you the restroom was an awful disappointment. The entrance is hard to find with a poor colour scheme and horrific choice of wood for the cubicles. Now I must add that the brass push sign was most aesthetically pleasing along with the silver studs impeded into the wall look astonishing against the terracotta wall.

I. D.

Very nice food. Great service. Reasonable prices

G. M.

Was a great spot. Food was excellent.

S. H.

Great birthday Sunday lunch. 16 of proved no problem at all. Very good service by a waiter who was not fazed by the large group and noted who ordered what. Food great with very large portions compared to what I'd expect in England. Good value as well

M. C.

Excellent food, lots of choices!

F. M.

We had such a lovely meal here for the mothers birthday. Service was excellent too. 5 star x

A. b.

Second visit on a 3 day trip to Belfast, food and service is Amazing, would highly recommend this family run restaurant .

Never fails to deliver great food

J. C.

This place has consistently served fantastic food for at least 30 years. The food, service and atmosphere are always amazing ... every time! And that's no easy task, especially in these times.

W. R.

Food was amazing but the service was lacking a bit. I had to ask for my drinks order 3 times and my main was nearly finished by the time the drinks arrived. Had to ask twice for my bill before I got it. Come on Villa this is not your usual 🙄

B. G.

Delighted to back in our favourite restaurant. Lovely food and the same welcoming and exceptional service as always! And felt safe too! Highly recommend. We were all delighted to see Max and his great staff again.

Fantastic authentic Italian taste. I've been here quite a few times with friends and family and always recommend ones to go here or its sister restaurant Scalinis. Both restaurants are a diamond in the rough as they say. Definitely one of my faves and will always be back never had a bad experience in either of these places ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

A. P.

Just popped in for a dessert and glass of wine after the Belfast Mela. Very attentive young man showed us to a table. Ordered our drinks and dessert and waited for our spoons. Had to ask for them but that still did not stop us enjoying our dessert or dining experience. Will have to book a meal now to enjoy the whole experience

C. M.

Beautiful food, lovely friendly staff.

E. G.

First time in Belfast and in Villa Italia, beautiful restraunt, very friendly staff. Made us feel welcome immediately. The food, wow, looked, smelled & tasted amazing! Each of the courses were presented quickly but not too quickly. This place is highly recommended.

D. F.

We haven't been to Villa Italia in over 10 years and I'm now asking myself why! The food was outstanding and so fresh. I can highly recommend the pizzas. Service was excellent and the staff were great with our baby. We are already planning our next visit.

D. S.

Beautiful Italian food, authentic decor, staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, BUT, after 6pm booking is advised. Prices are reasonable, for sure we will be back.

N. M.

Best Italian restaurant in Belfast.. we have been going here for years.. I loved it when I was small and now my kids love it aswell.. 🥰

A. F.

Fantastic place very busy, very authentic looking restaurant.staff where very busy but very very nice, food was delicious and will definitely return for another visit, I would recommend booking an appointment in advance....

B. H.

Absolutely fantastic. Went with a group of 30 from our bowls club and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Beautiful food, very friendly staff and very Godless value for money. Great spot. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go back!!

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic food and lovely staff! My family and I had a lovely evening meal.

J. S.

Food was nice however a member of our party has a dairy allergy and despite making the staff aware and being very explicit with the orders, all courses came with a dairy element. Obviously this then needed sent back. The dessert was returned with the cream removed but there were still traces on the brandy basket - it had just been lifted onto a new plate! Beware if you have a severe allergy.

N. F.

The food was delicious and we were served straight away! I got a pasta with nduja sausage and prawns and there was only 2 pieces of nduja in it, which was disappointing, but it was still very tasty. The waitor didnt check on us during our meal, so I never mentioned this to the staff. The food was very good but service could be improved. Would definitely go back again

p. B.

Great food friendly helpful staff book and if you have requests they will accommodate you if possible

J. T.

Such great food. Tremendous atmosphere. Wonderful service from lovely staff!

L. E.

Without a doubt my favourite place to eat, not even in Belfast, but the world. Top class service and the food is something else!

T. O.

Great for large parties as its huge restaurant. I went here for friends 50th with around 20 of us there, it was very enjoyable and staff were pleasant and helpful. Partner had steak which she'd recommend as it was very good. Pizzas very good too.

D. C.

Lovely food. First-class service. Very enjoyable experience.

s. m.

Great service and lively food. Handy location with easy parking near Queens University. A must if you like Italian food. Bit too many chillies for my tastes.

d. k.

perfect setting for family, couples or large groups. Staff are all very helpful and friendly very knowledgeable about menu and wines. Atmosphere is perfect just like a little Italian Utopia in Belfast. We had a family meal with 2 adults a teen an 11 year old & 3 year old the menu catered perfectly for all of us plenty of choice. If your looking good wholesome food Villa Italia is Bella you couldnt ask for better x

M. T.

Terrific staff and great food, I have been coming here for years and will continue to do so!

a. m.

Nice place, but found the meal very dear for what you got. Must have paid for the lovely place we where eating at.

k. p.

Food was delicious & staff were very attentive & friendly. We will definitely be back.

B. D.

Nice staff friendly. Food nice.

C. Q.

Went here for my sons communion. 13 of us. We were served really quickly. Food, and staff lovely. Only one thing and it cant be changed is that the toilets are upstairs other than that we had a great time .

J. M.

Excellent customer service and very good quality food...twas busy but well educated staff were being very kind in training.

D. M. G. C.

Villa Italia is Belfast's premier Italian restaurant. Run by generations of the same Italian family, the food is authentically Italian and the menu has something for everyone with all appetites catered for. There's plenty of choice and even with regular visits it would take many visits to work your way through the entire selection. A bruschetta starter followed by Carbonara with Tiramisu for dessert is a perfect meal.

D. E.

After a full day of driving and exploring in Nothern Ireland and this being the last day of our week long trip to this beautiful island, my friends and I decided to find a nice (and well rated) place to relax and eat in Belfast before the drive back to Dublin. We found the crown jewel in Villa Italia. We were greeted at the door and escorted to a table immediately. Our server was attentive and friendly. There are not enough positive adjectives to give the food justice. It was one of the best meals I have ever had, and I've been eating for over 50 years. When it came time for desert we were absolutely stuffed, but could not pass up a few choices from the desert cart. They offered to package our choices for take away. When we asked for plastic forks, so that we could eat at our leisure on the drive back, they sadly said they didn't have any. As we were leaving the manager stopped us and gave us real forks. I know it sounds silly, but it impressed me more than you can imagine. It was above and beyond one of the most enjoyable meals I've ever had.

V. B.

Great service, great food, family friendly

Quite a frustrating visit here unfortunately. Food very good and excellent value but service was way too slow and, in truth, unacceptable. We had to wait for a table which was fine and it took the 20 minutes we were quoted but it was a bit chaotic to be honest. Once seated, its a clever idea for a restaurant and nicely done inside. I really can't fault the service staff for their effort (they were running around like headless chicken!) but it took 1hr 30 to complete a main course which was just too long. I reckon with a bit more organization and a couple more bodies this place would be outstanding. I would consider returning but not on a Saturday night again

W. T.

Excellent value and great food

e. w.

Good friendly environment, lovely food at reasonable price. Good for bug groups and birthday meals Only down point would say wasn't there fault but at the time was struggling with mobility and was seated upstairs and toilts were quite a walk. However we hadn't requested accessible seating so not there fault

L. B.

Haven't been for years and it was great. Staff were so friendly and great with kids. Meal was absolutely delicious and the chocolate fudge cake... May have been the nicest I've had! Won't leave it as long until our next visit!

J. R.

Went today with the family, it never fails to disappoint, well priced, great service and amazing food, everytime.

A. K.

The food and service was fantastic. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fulfilling and delicious meal.

A. S.

Love it. Good food, good staff and nice setting.

J. P.

Beautiful place, wonderful food and service. Definitely a must when in Belfast. A real treat and an authentic taste of Italia!

Took my baby out, she was amused and the pasta was great. Portion are too big in my opinion, even I was struggling. But we all know what grandma taught us, make sure the plate is clean before you leave the table!

A. K.

Great decor and atmosphere. Lovely food. Good value.

A. D.

Delicious food enjoyed by six of us. Pleasant, attentive staff.

P. S.

Been coming here for years, brought the kids for the first time recently, everyone enjoyed their meal. Reasonable prices, good service, pleasant staff. Only negative is seating is quite tight and you're too close to fellow diners than is comfortable.

M. Z.

I love this restaurant. Have been here many times before. A bit pricy so it's best for an event like a birthday or a work do. The interior is beautiful and it feels like your in Italy. The staff are lovely and the food is amazing. Many choices, vegetarian even for those who like it. Their pizzas are my favourite here. Truly a little Italy in Belfast.

E. S.

Delicious food, I'd the duck dish and it was done to perfection. Would definitely recommend for a family get together. The food wasn't overly expensive either so good for the wallet. Great food, service. Really busy too so definitely book in advance.

H. A.

Such a classic... Been going here for food for I'm sure 30 years. The perfect family restaurant!

Great Italian food in a classy environment. Close to the University, good service. Generous portions, we ate on the main level, but there are tables on the next level up. Quite busy, so lots of people like this place.

C. S.

Lovely experience tonight. Great starters for everyone and delicious pizzas all round, followed by equally good desserts. All with very efficient service too. One note though. They don't take bookings for parties smaller than six, so you may have to wait for a table.

T. H.

Beautiful meal and nice atmosphere following all covid guidelines. Table service excellent very friendly helpful staff

J. B.

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Highly recommend

B. B.

Never ever had a bad meal in Villa Italia - casual dinning with excellence. Good menu with a great range of Italian dishes, lively yet relaxing atmosphere. Caters for all ages and from individuals to large groups . Reasonable prices for the quality of the food 🍷

D. M.

I have been eating in Belfast for over thirty years, and though this restaurant isn't open thirty years yet I am certain it will remain open until I retire my eating career. Now in fairness I have always ordered the pizza but my guests ordered something else. Pizza, sirloin steak, pasta all top class. Furthermore every time I have come (an that is a lot) someone has always done the most crucial thing shortly after all the food is served...the come over and ask "is everything alright?" To me that is the difference between good services and bad service. People can forget to bring something but that question makes everything good. Never had a bad night here. Good service excellent food, lovely atmosphere. An unusual gem in Belfast due to the fact that I have not yet had a bad meal here. Sometimes the food takes a little longer but good things are worth the wait.

p. r.

Loved it here. Was really busy while we were there but to their credit the staff were amazing. The food was delicious and served in good time. Will be back sooner rather than later!

L. M.

Steak is divine in this restaurant highly recommend a visit , desserts are to die for staff attentive usually queues and a long wait but worth it so book if you can

C. N.

Excellent food and service. We will definitely be back. Really enjoyed everything and all the staff were so friendly. Thank you.

l. n.

Beautiful meal as always. Excellent Staff - really attentive

R. C.

Fabulous, second visit of the week. First,our daughters Graduation,staff were so attentive and friendly. Second visit was brilliant. Food amazing,staff remembered us and were wonderful, Very professional and friendly. Thank you Villa Italia. Happy Christmas.

J. R.

Food was delicious staff very friendly can't wait to go back 😋

K. C.

Best Italian restaurant in Belfast. Another beautiful meal here with the family. Service and setting excellent. Great choices of pizza, antipasti, mains including wide choice of pasta dishes, meat, fish and chiclen. We all had starters and would recommend the stuffed mushrooms and prawns in garlic and chilli. The Linguine all Angelo was amazing. Great for a family meal but also perfect setting for a couple or a large group as restaurant has more than one floor and a variety of table shapes and sizes. We've been coming here for years and there's always a queue at the door due to popularity. Highly recommend this place!

J. T.

Great quality food, super service and staff.

E. R.

I've been here four times now and every visit has been enjoyable. The restaurant is always busy, with queues sometimes reaching out the door - booking a table is recommended - and the food is delicious. They have a good range of pasta and pizza, as well as starters and desserts.

M. L.

Place fantastic food fantastic staff for the main part fantastic, my only issue is turn around of tables, we waited 20min on a table which was fair as we hadn't booked, when we got a table food and service was great, the waitress and waiter where very busy but very attentive. To our right a table cleared approx 12 person's at table it lay untouched for 8min before the Guest welcome team noticed and then started to clear, I say Guest welcome team as there seemed to be 4 people at the door entrance area, one lady with a clip board and 3 other gentlemen also looking at the Clip board, busily hugging what I can only presume was some of there well dressed wealthy looking possibly regulars! Myself and wife and three children go twice a month and for a family of five it's a fair price to account for, but once a month twice a month or once a year we are all customers and should all have the same meet and greet!!! Maybe of two of the meet and greet floor Managers!!? Where actually on the floor talking to paying young customers who will possibly become there long running regular customers!!? It would be a help, and pay someone who is in control of the Clip board to run the Clip board!!! Going back to the table 8min to be noticed 4 min to clear 3 min to separate table which made 3 tables, clearing 3 lots of waiting customers with money to spend! 15 very valuable minutes for the restaurant and for customer satisfaction. The experience we had with the kids great as usual, but did we wait 15min unnecessarily on our table!?. Our visit 01/12/18

T. K.

Food amazing but be carefully when sitting close to windows cuz wasps are on them. Was 1st today and wasp bite me...everything what i got after..they offer me ...ice cubes. Not happy 3 stars only for food.

M. G.

We have been going here for years. It is the one restaurant which we keep going back to. Wonderful food always, in lovely surroundings. Excellent variety on this menu which will meet everyone's taste at very reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is always fun.

M. A.

Food was great, fast service for a weekend night, will certainly be back

N. M.

Amazing as always love this Italian restaurant food, atmosphere and staff are fab👌👌♥️ will be back very soon

M. S.

Great experience. Brilliant staff and a personal touch. Made to feel like the only customers in the room although the place was full. Idgar was great, put my beer in the freezer and Deborah was very astute to our needs.

T. h.

Absolutely top class food and service was fantastic 👏

F. R.

My favourite place to eat in Belfast! Everything on the menu is amazing but the arancini balls have a special place in my heart. The staff are all lovely too. HIGHY recommend!

A. R.

Nice place. Good, uncomplicated, Italian(ish) food. Great, well humoured staff. In short, if you're planning a meal, you could do much worse than Villa Italia. Negatives: parking, but it's Belfast... Recommended.

A. E.

Fantastic, authentic, big plates of Italian food. Highly recommended, I'm going back!

L. K.

Amazing great food great service

T. W.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. A great night out tonight. Restaurant was buzzing.

J. M.

Was standard Italian restaurant in my opinion, that's not to denigrate it but I've been in a few restaurants like it in Ireland. The menus are are always about 90% the same. The restaurant itself was a lot bigger then you'd expect. The food was good, and the service from the staff was excellent. We were seated quickly upon arrival but we were lucky because soon after people were queuing out the door so during busy times you would be better off booking. It was a Sunday evening when we went. Toilets were clean.

P. M.

The quality of the food and staff service is always of the highest standard. Highly recommended.

D. F.

A great venue for reasonably priced food

M. H.

Suberb food for Mother's Day. Very busy but great attention by staff

R. A.

Best Italian food I have ever had and I been to Italy many times for work and pleasure. Always a great atmosphere at the weekend and the staffs are wonderful. Good selection of pasta, pizza and of course desserts.

j. c.

I Would highly recommend, food is amazing and reasonably priced. Attentive friendly staff. Fantastico.

S. I.

The food is fantastic! my favourite restaurant ever ! Every celebration or date night because you can count on quality food for reasonable prices already can't wait to go back Service is fantastic even though you can't book in advance they always get you seated soo quickly!

K. M.

Amazing! Even though the place was full we were seated right away. You could tell that most people were local and knew the restaurant owner and staff. The food was so good!!

J. H.

Excellent food, pleasant staff.

J. “. S.

We were well looked after and redtaurants was properly organised for Covid19. Our first meal out since the start of lockdown. Service was superb...we had a nice table for two and the range and quality of food was fantastic. Hope to return very soon...thank you all at Villa Italia

M. C.

The food was excellent. Two starters meatball and a prawn one. Three pasta mains all delicious. Very good value for money. Brilliant atmosphere and service was wonderful.

Excellent menu lovely food and brilliant service.

M. F.

Amazing Italian, I have been coming to Villa Italia for years each time I visit Belfast and it is amazing each time. Pizzas are excellent as well as the steaks. On weekends customers are usually queuing out of the door for a table therefore ensure you arrive early to get a table to suite your time scales. It is to my understanding that you are unable to book tables for specific times. See this as a positive as they are in demand!!

N. M.

Just had the most incredible meal there. Queue if you have to but do NOT let that dissuade you from going. The service is attentive but not intrusive and the food quality is top drawer. The linguini scoglio is stunning and I say this having eaten plenty of Italian food! If you want proper Italian food then this is a must.

J. L.

The food in this place is so so good but that's because the Chef's are the best. 👍

G. M.

Long established Italian restaurant. Always busy. Menu good enough. No need to reserve table if under 5 people and you are dining early. Good location, below Queens university.

M. B.

A very hit and miss experience, the carbonara was nice and rich but the salmon was dry as a bone and the topping was flavourless mush. The tiramisu was great and the service like the main course was hit and miss, missing drinks and generally uninterested.

D. B.

First of all, let me confess that my visit to Villa Italia forever changed my life. After having tasted the sweet delectable pizza that they served here, I not only won the lottery I also, followed my dream to open my very own Italian restaurant. Regrettably I do have to admit that it was an utter failure, which falls entirely on me. So to this day if I need to live my dream I walk in, welcomed as if I'm the only guest in the restaurant and can forget all my worries as I taste the amazing food that they serve here. For that I will always be grateful for the life changing experience they call food here.

C. N.

Fantastic italian food in Belfast, friendly, nice and good value for money.

J. D.

What a cool place to eat. You feel like you're in Italy. The food is incredible. Highly recommend

Great restaurant with service always being very prompt and an excellent authentic atmosphere. Sunday lunch menu with good range of choices all at good value. Great choice of wines and food was beautiful .

F. F.

My favourite place to eat in the city

R. M.

This is my personal favourite restaurant in Belfast mainly because the pizza is delicious! I'd recommend trying the cheesy garlic bread and also my favourite dessert which is the chocolate crepes, they are awesome! The staff are very friendly and attentive.

M. B.

Great Italian food, also at a good price. The pizzas are my favourite! Great for larger groups - it's a regular for birthday dinners with my friends! They've yet to forget a meal or drink. Very well organised and friendly staff.

Food and service were good. Nice atmosphere and design inside. Although Thur night was busy the waiting time was not long. I will recommend this place and will return.

D. H.

Busy, however very efficient and friendly staff. Lovely decor and food was tasty.

B. C.

Love this place; come here everytime we are in Belfast. It's always busy, 3 floors packed from about 6. You will wait 20-30 minutes but it's worth it. Despite it always being busy, the food is consistently beautiful and authentic (and out from the kitchen quickly).Highly recommend!

k. R.

Great wheelchair accessibility and diligent service, caters for all variations in diet. Needs softer seats only for us old crocks. Fantastic food.

s. w.

We love this place if we're going out to eat it's always on the list , food is so fresh and so rich it's just awesome , love Thier meetballs , my wife gets the breaded mushrooms and paprika dip and mushroom sauce or something and raves about it , I love the pasta dishes unreal quality service sometimes you could be sitting waiting a bit to maybe order a wine or a drink but generally great .

M. G. (. G.

This is easily the best restruarant in Belfast. We have been going here for over 20 years and it's our favourite. Yes we go to other restaurants but we rate them against Villia Italia. The food is consistently brilliant. The place is always buzzing and the staff create a warm welcome for everyone. John is a wonderful host always having time to talk and make you feel so welcome. You need to experience it for yourself as you won't be disappointed.

R. G.

Our favourite place, we always start our evening here and the food is just unbelievable. We go probably twice a month! Really could not rate the staff attendance high enough. Great spot

M. F.

Fantastic food and service reasonably priced... Great evening out

A. F.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, excellent service be prepared to queue

L. F.

Just had a great service from villa tonight. The food was delivered quite prompt. Food was still hot. Cant recomend this service enough. Never fails to impress.

M. B.

Excellent food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere would recommend it.

Beautiful restaurant. The food is top class!

D. O.

Went here last night. Food was nice and the service from the staff was really good. I'd definitely recommend this place.

H. Z.

Quite disappointing. Looks very interesting from the outside. Inside the decor is outdated, old faded paintings on walls. The menu is very basic, nothing special. Flavours are ok but not amazing. Would I rush back? No. There are better restaurants in area that have better Italian food

S. M.

Never fails to deliver great food and service. So good to be able to go again.

R. W.

The food here is so good the service is grate it's normally buys but the most time I've ever waited on my food from order to table is 15-20 mins. On a buys night like a Friday or Saturday I recommend you get there early as the place fills up quickly and you will wait on tables up to about 40 minutes but the food is went worth the wait. Good prices Good Food what more can you ask for

P. P.

Spaghetti bolognese was great really lovely and beautiful atmosphere, will definitely go again x

D. H.

We enjoyed our apetizer. It was a seafood crape. The pizza would have been better but we did not know you had to ask for cheese as one of your toppings. Pizza is not much of a pizza without cheese!!

C. S.

Food and service top class will be my first choice for food any time I will be in Belfast 😋

K. I.

Loved this restaurant, great atmosphere, helpful staff, accommodating to our vegetarian requests. Affrogato was to die for. Service was efficient, not sure about the 1970's pop music, was expecting something more authenticly Italian?! Great experience overall, thank you!

K. W.

high quality, great food, friendly service and always helpful, I recommend

s. g.

Excellent menu lovely food and brilliant service.

b. c.

Brilliant family restaurant. Food always plentiful and delicious.

M. K.

Food and service are great. Its no wonder that it packed out constantly. It hasnt really changed much in the last decade because they found out what they do well, and they do it nightly. Still a varied enough menu to not be too stale.

J. C.

Good Italian restaurant. Very popular and always packed. Food is good and not particularly overpriced. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Drawback is that at certain times there is a queue for tables. Worth the wait.

E. S.

Great Italian food, lovely atmosphere, amazing staff

A. M.

Loved it. Great Ambiance...

A. O.

Brilliant food!! Great menu and wine list and an electric atmosphere. Staff were amazing and attentive....a must fo restaurant

D. M.

Great feed, wouldn't have heard about it only for a taxi driver in the city👌

J. J.

Very good service but more expensive than I imagined and quality of food didn't reflect the pricing. Those with me commented on the pizza being too dear for what they received and one had the stuffed chicken on bed of mushroom sauce which it literally was.... a chicken breast on a sea of sauce nothing else. Would think long before returning

P. C.

Great to be back out to a family friendly restaurant! Lovely staff and great food

J. M.

Absolutely love Villa Italia. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is beautiful and best of all the food.. it is so amazing! Always a perfect night out! The food is priced very well priced!

Restaurant is beautiful and the food was alright, but also not mind blowing.

t. c.

awesome Italian for 3 of us 2 courses each and 4 soft drinks and 2 large pino wine £94 only snag the garlic bread wasn't round it was baguette style if you get my drift not what were you used to but it was all delicious espically the lamb rump in a red current and mint sauce oh my word

G. B.

Best food in Belfast, great service,lovely restaurant. We love it

This was my first visit to Villa Italia and it certainly will not be my last. The staff were very polite and the food was incredible. It caters for all palates. I can't wait to return again soon!

P. L.

Made use of the takeaway at the weekend. I think it is best to order and pay online as I arrived and left with my food while many others waiting who appeared to be ordering only on arrival. Food was great.

P. M.

Great restaurant for the family. Fantastic food and service. Always has been.

J. L.

Great restaurant with real italian soul! Food was delicious and service was excellent. For sure we will visit this place again! Highly recommended!

R. H.

It must be one of Belfasts oldest running Italian restaurants, that's for a reason. It's great, has great service and dosn't require a booking, even if there is a bit of a que at the door thay still manage to get you seated and served quite quickly due the some good organisation and lots of tables.

G. T.

Really good service, all staff were very friendly and knowledgable on the menu, very full this night but all servers were calm and professional. Loved it...

C. M.

Everything was just satisfactory from the food to the service. The food was bland and lacked any originality. The service was basic and need to get the attention of the wait staff anytime I needed something. Overall was disappointed.

Never ever had a bad meal in here, food fantastic and staff attentive but not overly so.
