Villaggios

The Marsala was awful. Way too breaded and sauce tasted like nothing. Worst meal I have had in a long time

Just order anything with the Italian sausage! Ohhh. the homemade spumoni is yummy! I was there for my birthday and our waiter serenaded me with the most lovely Italian song. I look forward to visiting this restaurant every year.

The food is absolutely amazing. The servers are okay, have a hard time speaking English/​understanding but they do their best and are genuinely nice and attentive. I’ll say it again the food is absolutely amazing! I had the special butternut squash ravioli. Best meal on the vacation. The drinks are limited, I tried the bellini and it was enjoyable… however I recommend the Barbera as I have had it before and is much better with a meal. Overall, good time & great food.

Villagios in Door County was just okay. The service was good, except that our food took a long time to arrive. The salad had no dressing, later it was brought. We ordered the baked ziti dish and the chicken Alfredo. Both were overly heavy on sauce and rather bland. My husband had a glass of wine and I had an iced tea. We also ordered the tiramisu dessert, which was truly awful. Just runny sauce with a few small hard cookies mixed in. Although the ambiance in the dining room was nice, we will not be back. Our check was $ 85 with tip for the two of us.

The person who stated to ignore the low reviews may need to calibrate their taste buds with good Italian cuisine, which this restaurant does not serve.
The two stars? We loved the building and the bread. However, less than mediocre food and erratic service did not compensate for ambiance and bread sticks. Friendly staff but our waitress did not know the menu and ignored the details: bring a beer glass with the type of beer we bought (and not be asked 2 – 3 times to bring one), bring the coffee on a tray with spoons (so we don’t stir cream with a butter knife) rather than hand delivering a half cup of coffee, bring the desserts that were supposed to come with three kids meals, keep the water glasses filled, etc.
All this would have been forgivable in exchange for gastronomic delights. Instead, the food lacked luster and originality. One step above fast food Italian chain restaurants, but not by much. And at $ 16 – 18 a plate (vegetarian, with no sides), you are better off choosing something else. Price point high for service and low quality food with little identity.
My pasta dish was more like soup than pasta.

Lots of marinara sauce on majority of the dishes. Baked rigatoni was ok. Sausage had good kick, overwhelmed with sauce. Bread was baked fresh, served warm which was great!

Despite of the bad reviews we have read WE went there yesterday With my boyfriend. It was very good pasta and i Know what I say because I ve been several Times in italy. The service was good and the restaurant is simple but cosy. I recommend it!

Had an OUTSTANDING meal! Three of us had Lasagna – never had a better Lasagna anywhere. Another in our party had Angel Hair Pasta Prosciutto & the fifth adult had Baked Rigatoni. Appetizers included the Topped Mushroom & Spinach Salad. 3 kids had the Cheese Pizza Kids Meal. Price, ambiance, service, & food quality makes Villaggios a great value!

This is the fourth time we have given this place a try since it opened. It was great the first year but the food and service is absolute crap since. I just got home after the worst pizza I have ever eaten. When I remarked that the pizza was bad — the waitress said «sorry». Not «sorry, I’ll take it off your bill» just «sorry». My husband order baked most. — no baked cheese on it. My in– laws did enjoy the scallops alfredo and the lasagna but then again they have no taste buds. Our visit didn’t start well when we checked in for our reservation and they forgot to seat us… then we waited 15 minutes for the waitress to take and promptly forget our drink orders. And lastly, this place is LOUD; VERY LOUD. There is nothing to reduce the sound — all hard surfaces. i am warning you now –EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE! Not worth your time.

In one word «terrible»! Hostess was more interested in putting away bottles of wine then seating us. Finally seated in the enclosed patio, next to the ant colony that had made Their homes on the wall. Ask for different seating and told there might be a wait. Finally seated upstairs next to the table that had not been bussed.
Food was mediocre. Italiano salad had no flavor and olives out of a jar. Pizza crust was soggy with way too much cheese and a canned sauce. Ordered a glass of wine, which I never received. In the end spent $. 50.00 to eat soggy pizza with the ants! Never again. Save some money and order Pizza Hut!

Love Villagio’s. Great for pre– theater supper before Peninsula Players or American Folklore Theater. Best Spinach/​Mozzarella/​Bacon salad ever. Tried the Chicago Hot Dog tonight. It was authentic with poppy seed roll as well as Vienna hot dog. Ditto for the Italian Beef sandwich. Mild Italian Guardinara was delish, but the hot was too HOT. Good wine selection. Great service and ambiance. Porch dining in summer is nice. Never rushed through dinner. Cheerful but quiet enough to converse with dinner partners.

A few simple words: BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT EVER!
It’s so hard to decide what to order! Never drive by it! I highly recommend it

Outstanding variety and the sauce is all homemade. The chef special was a lobster ravioli and it was delicious– not too oily like other places I have had this. They have great twisty bread that’s soft and slightly cheesy. Definitely check this place out for a delightful Italian meal and ambiance.

Have been to Villaggio’s a couple times on our trips to Door County. Decided to go back recently after a couple year break.
There were a total of 6 of us… made a reservation day of without any problem. Got to the restaurant and there was plenty of seating. I will say this — the pasta sauce there is amazing. I always buy a jar of it when were there to take home. I had the chicken parm and I have to say I enjoyed it. The meat lasagana was really good as well.
However, for the prices they charge, I do expect a little more from this place. My wife ordered a pasta dish and when she was finished, the bottom of the bowl was swimming in olive oil. I did like our server, however the food was really slow coming out of the kitchen for the amount of people that were in the restaurant. There were a few minor issues with the orders (olives on the salad, no dressing on the salad, no Italian salsa came out with the plate, there was a cross up on one of the pasta orders)…the waiter did his best to take care of the issue but again, for the prices they charge it seems like they should be all over these orders.
I do like the atmosphere and want to see all the Door restaurants succeed, but again for what they charge it seems like a few improvements could be made in the kitchen, or work with the staff to determine what is «too much» and what is «not enough» on certain dishes and make sure everything is completely correct before it leaves the kitchen.

Over priced & mediocre. I had the spaghetti & meatballs. The meatballs had no flavor at all! They were tasteless & a bit mushy. I made my husband try it bc I was shocked at how flavorless it was & he agreed. I was also very disappointed in how little sauce there was on the dish. My husband had the fettuccini Alfredo with chicken. It was a very bland sauce & the chicken was bland & seemed to just have been boiled in water. No seasoning or grilling for the chicken. These are two pretty basic Italian dishes that were not done well. The waitress was very friendly. However she failed to keep the drinks flowing. They had a special on wine & we would have had a few glasses each if given the opportunity.

My wife and I had an appetizer here and took a pizza to go. Both were very tasty and the service was warm and friendly, even though we were only there for about 20 minutes. It probably helped that we were really hungry and on vacation at the time. =]

Yuck! See my review on the other Villagio’s entry.

Crazy HIGH prices and horrible food. My mixed seafood (with pasta on side) dish barely had any seafood on it and the linguini beneath it was SWIMMING in water. The cook obviously didn’t bother draining the pasta before putting it in big bowl like plate. My friends’ chicken parm looked good but was soggy. Our dinner was $ 70 – 80 before tip — crazy high for CRAP. We couldn’t wait to get out of there and should’ve asked for our money back — horrible experience. We ate EARLY, about 6p on Monday, May 30… the restaurant was NOT busy so plenty of time for them to get it right in kitchen and for wait staff to make things right. New waiter didn’t have a clue what to do when we nicely pointed out my horrible seafood mix dinner problems. Italian restaurant, Villagios, near fish creek, door county, wisconsin, STAY AWAY — unless you have money to burn and want a bland, not much substance food tasting experience

Tiny, but great food and service. The pasta is very good, as I expected, having had many fabulous breakfasts at its sister restaurant, The Village Café.
