Villa Fazzolari

Just had dinner, they close their dining room on Sunday to have parties and send you to their pizza sports bar to sit with a bunch of drunks. I had spaghetti with clans white. Tasted more like overcooked clans in dish water. Flat no flavor no spices. Stated meal with caprese salad. Red peppers, tomato and mozzarella. Tomato too thick and not ripe, slab of mozzarella and small scoop of red peppers. Tasted worse than the description.
Bread knots were good. My wife had mussels with cavstelli in red sauce, sauce good mussels little over done. Lastly, mommy had salmon just OK. But wait we ordered desert. My wife ordered use cream coffee drink mommy flan and I had perfiderols. Theirs was good mibe was an embarrassment to the culinary world. It was premise by a thoughtless oaf thst beloved a couple reMpuff unfilled and soggy from soaking in not so good mousse is perfiderols, one u mind you and it sucks.
Well I made two visits today and last visit. If I want to sit with drunks Ina pizzeria st least I would gat what I was paying for.

Worst meal ever ! Tomatoe sauce was overcooked. Shrimp was fried in old oil. bread was dry and horibble. Pasta vodka sauce had no cream. would never go back… drinks are overpriced.

Call me bias because my last name is also Fazzolari (no relation) My husband and I had our wedding there on May 6, 2012. The garden in the front was created for our wedding. Sal and Gino are wonderful and I could not have asked for a better wedding. They went above and beyond any expected to make sure our day was as special as we hoped it would be. I highly recommend this restaurant. I felt so special and honired to have the first wedding performed in the Fazzolari garden being a Fazzolari myself at Villa Fazzolari.

Always a delicious meal. Great service — the people who work here are always very nice. Each dish is quite big, and I always go home with leftovers. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the awesome bread that is served with every meal. Love this place

Had some good pizza and listened to a 60s-​70s-​80s rock band. Did a little dancin’, a little drinkin’ and a little eatin’.
Friendly staff, owner seems like a great guy. I’m going back!

We were invited to Villa Fazzolari tonight by friends and what a treat! The restaurant is less than 20 minutes south from us but it was our first time there and I definitely think we will be back after tonight.
We were seated promptly and after our drink order was taken, bread in the form of warm cubes of baked pizza dough and an olive oil and herb dipping sauce arrived at the table. Delicious and addicting!
The wine list have numerous choices in all varieties and was reasonable, the specialty cocktails menu of signature drinks and martinis was substantial and interesting. We all opted for Riesling and it was perfect with dinner.
The fried calamari were light and delicious and we tried Gino’s Stuffed Long Hots which was one of the two varieties of stuffed long hot peppers. Gino’s is stuffed with prosciutto and provolone cheese and comes to the table in a pool of delicious, cheesy sauce and drizzled with balsamic glaze. Awesome!
The entrées ordered were as follows:
The Zuppa di Pesce which looked amazing and was filled with seafood and a large lobster tail served over linguini pasta. A request for white sauce instead of marinara was easily accommodated.
The Seafood Salad Italiano which was also very appetizing and substantial with shrimp. scallops, & crab meat sautéed in a garlic sauce served over salad.
Puttanesca Sauce over Penne Pasta was redolent of black olives, capers, & anchovies in a spicy marinara sauce.
Risotto Calabrese made of real arborio rice, with sausage, mushrooms, & scallions in a light sherry wine cream sauce.
All entrées came with choice of soup or salad and the entrée portions were substantial.
We finished up with coffee and dessert and ended up sampling the cannoli, New York cheesecake and the homemade flan. All of it was tasty and well-​prepared. The flan was more akin to a Latin or Spanish Flan and was made of a smooth cream cheese custard as opposed to the more typical French styled egg custard base. It was creamy and delicious nonetheless.
All in all, a great experience with great service and wonderful food. There was also an accordion player and his daughter who were wandering through the restaurant and available for a song or two at table-​side.
We’ll definitely be back!

Try their pizza!!! Brick oven and always very good. They have a small bar in the front (if you’re waiting fo a dinner table); a pizzeria and outdoor seating as well. There is a large room where they also have live music on weekends; which is very nice. Will definitely go back!

Always an amazing experience and the scenery is very relaxing and beautiful. This restaurant has one bar inside with dim lighting dining for a romantic experience. outside lounge has another bar with outside dining and inside dining where live bands play. The pricing are very reasonable and their dishes are amazingly delicious!

Service is always good and the food is delicious. Try the sacchetti. Great cocktails and a decent wine list. Soup is better than the salad that comes with the entrees. My favorite place for Italian.

Good food. Our waiter Pat gave the best service we’ve had in a long time. We’d come back for the service.

Had an organized event there. Dj was fun. Food was OK– my bar bill was kind of high for just my fiancé and I. The next day a friend I was with informed me of a fifty cent mixing fee on top of the already over priced $ 6 drink? Very disappointed by that. We are in Buena not New York City. Upsetting because I really enjoyed myself but that put a bad taste in my mouth. Will give them another chance and hope for a better experience.

Great service, huge portions, great cocktails try the crème brûlée martini. The bread nuggets with pesto are awesome. Lobster ravioli are wonderful. May be the only restaurant in Buena but it’s a good one.

First time at restaurant and will never return! I was absolutely appalled at the way the management treated the waitresses. I witnessed a waitress getting scolded and cursed at right in front of the customers for not refilling their drinks quickly enough. The management should learn how to treat their staff with respect. I have never witnessed such poor management behavior .We ordered sandwiches which were okay, the rolls were a bit hard. Will never return and would NEVER recommend this place. Does not even deserve one star.

Great time! Went with cheerleaders and their parents after a competition and ate in the back patio area. Music was playing (it was oldies but they played a few newer songs so my girls would get up and dance) and people were having a good time dancing. We ordered pizza (pepperoni, cheese and white) and it was all delicious. Would definitely go back.

Great pizza and friendly bar service. Very loud for such a small crowd on Saturday late afternoons. Obviously regulars. Interesting spot for sure.
Happy to accommodate our game request on the televisions.

This was our second visit. The room is beautiful and the servers attentive. The appetizer was $ 10 for two slices of breaded fried tomatoes with mozzarella and prosciutto. Way over priced. Husband salad was $ 20 for arugula and shrimp salad. No way worth $ 20. Daughter and I shared lasagna. Server actually asked us what kind of pasta we wanted with it. Seemed very confused. Who doesn’t know what lasagna is? Final complaint: no description of what’s in the lasagna anywhere on the menu. Not sure what the mystery meat inside was… Not ground beef or sausage! And The bus people were trying to take our dishes before we were done… Won’t go there again. Very disappointed.

I recommend eating in the bar/​pizza area behind the main restaurant.
Decent wine with about 8 – 10 beers on tap. I prefer Palm.
The gnocchi with spinach is amazing and very filling (enough for 3 meals). The chicken spinach panini was excellent as well. I thought the Stromboli was ok but the table next to us raved about the seafood pizza. Great wait staff and huge portions.

This review is for their main restaurant. They have another separate building on the same premises for light fare and drinks — mostly for summer when they have outdoor dining and entertainment.
We’ve eaten here a number of times and it’s been pretty good, 3 – 4 stars. Our most recent experience was not too swell. My seafood risotto came out with all the shell fish (in the shell) cold — not cold as in room temperature but cold as just out of the refrigerator. They warmed it up and it was fine but I was out of sync with the other three at our table. The waitress started out pretty good but then basically ignored us to the point of being rude.
I’ve been generous with 3 stars because my previous experiences were quite good. One more time like this and it’s my last.

Worst dining experience ever!
Ate at Villa Fazzolari in January 2012 with a party of 5 for my mothers birthday. We started off by ordering martinis and apps, martinis tasted like cough syrup and were sent back in exchange for glasses of wine that tasted past their prime. Stuffed mushrooms were decent but calamari was way undercooked and not even crispy. Then we waited over an hour for our entrees. My father ordered the surf and turf and it was a pitiful excuse for filet and lobster. they even cut a huge hole in the middle of his steak (to check the temp?!?) Luckily my mother enjoyed her chicken sorrento. The remaining meals were mediocre at best. Vegetables came out cold, spinach was overly bitter and overly garlicy (coming from someone who loves garlic).
The worst part was that when the waitress asked us how the meal was my dad expressed his discontent and she did not even respond, walked away from the table, and never came back. I was once a server and I would never let someone who ordered a $ 35 dinner remain underwhelmed with the experience.
So then after waiting another half an hour for our horrible server to return we finally asked the manager for our check. Finally the waitress appeared and she had added $ 30 gratuity to the check because we used a gift card!!! My sister and I usually have a strict 20% policy since we used to serve, but this woman did not deserve $ 30, she came to our table MAYBE 5 times and that includes the 2 visits she had to make to return our drinks.
Stay far far away from this place unless you want to overpay and be underwhelmed.

I attended an event here on the patio. We were a large group that had pretty much the entire area. I had never heard of this place but found it charming.
We had a buffet of a variety of pizzas. They were delicious! The crust was fabulous. Several different toppings were served, including a salad pizza. While I did not have any Sicilian pizza, my friends reported it was delicious as well.
Service was very good. Friends who are familiar with this place indicated the inside restaurant is disappointing compared to the patio.
Truly enjoyed the atmosphere outside and the food. I had a salad as well, which was okay. Not bad, but nothing to brag about.
I would like to return with friends and family.
