La Villetta II

This place is awesome. My family and I did make a mistake though… We ordered way too much. The serving sizes are generous. We had Caesar salad and fried zucchini for starters and, while The salad was good the zucchini was unbelievable. After that my son had clam sauce covered lobster ravioli and my wife had chicken Parmesan. Both of them are healthy eaters and neither could finish their dinner. My daughter and I split a small pizza and could hardly finish even half of it. On top of that everything was just amazing. Finally, the staff was super friendly and attentive-​without being too much so.

There are a ton of restaurants in this area all pushing something unique, but sometimes you just want some good, no frills pizza. That’s what La Villetta does. They also make all of the usual Italian veal and chicken dishes (their francaise is great). I’m just glad that somebody had the foresight to fill the corner pizzeria niche on Division St. Not everything needs to be farm to table, or fine dining, or gastropub. Those things are all great and appreciated, but sometimes you just want good food, quickly and cheaply. Like every place on Division Street, there’s sidewalk seating available during the appropriate months.

Simply the best pizza place around. I’ve tried capriccio 1 & 2 in Croton, Euro Pizza and the Capriccios’ place in Ossining, others in yorktown, mt. Kisco, etc., and this is the place to get your pie. Excellent choices, but I’m partial to the Chicken Masala slice. And try a garlic knot, too!

We got a big takeout order from this place for christmas eve. They gave me a great deal on the prices. We had chicken parm, veal parm and zuppa de pesce. Everything was good but my favorite was the veal. I was impressed with how nicely they accommodated me at the last minute. Definitly better than the other location in mohegan which i didnt think was very good on my last few visits. Glad i took a chance. This will be my go to italian restaurant.

Here’s the thing. The pizza is good, but it’s doughy. The flavor is outstanding, but way to much dough in the pie for my taste.

OMG
Forget about any other «corner» pizza/​pasta shop you’ve ever known.

Our first visit was purely by accident and we will never forget it.
We met the owner, Angelo, and staff (family) serving on the street during the Peekskill Music Festival.
We sampled everything available and were blown away.
Angelo: «Come back. Bring a bottle of wine and I will make you a dinner you will never forget.»
We will.

Authentic delicious pizza! Don’t expect opulent ambiance, this is a place to go if you want real Italian food not frills. We just did take out. I will be dreaming about this pizza for weeks!

I ordered delivery a month or so ago to try some of their pasta dishes. The young man who delivered our food was on time, the food was still hot and he was super polite. Everything we ordered was delicious and well seasoned. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the chicken was not dried out at all. I think I’ll stick with delivery only because parking can be a beast around dinner time due to limited space on the street!

The pizza is great, havn’t tried any of the other menu items, but they truley have the best specialty slices i have ever tried. Chicken Marsala slice, buffalo slice, scapriello slice etc. The only thing is that the satff is very unatentive. Angelo the owner is never there, always outside talking on hs phone, the blonde girl Michelle seems to be in outer space. numerous times i have ordered a slice and they have either forgotten to put it in and then realized and quickly put it in and then took it out, getting served cold pizza or put it in and left it there solong that it came out scolding hot. Happens way too often. Also theplace is a disaster, soda bottles and storage right out in the frot dining room area??? Looks horrible. If it werent for the great prices and good pizza, i would not go back. Not only that, not sure how clean Angelo and Michelle are, Angelo often have his sleeves rolled up and in the summer time Michelle is always donning a sleeveless shirt, spaghetti strap shirt. Im not sure how sanitary that is. Having them sweat al over your food… ughh

Excellent pizza, the servings are huge and reasonably priced. The restaurant is very small. The service is fantastic.

Good pizza, nice relaxing atmosphere, and I like the outside tables.

If you want the best Italian food in Westchester, or the yummiest pizza (and the largest variety!), and you don’t want to spend a lot of cash, you MUST rush over to La Villetta II. This restaurant, on Division Street’s «Gazebo Corner» (can’t miss it!) in Peekskill (the new «it» place to hang out in Westchester!) was opened last year by my fave restauranteur, Angelo, who created and ran the original La Villetta in Mohegan Lake for many years. (Don’t confuse the two places – Angelo no longer owns the Mohegan Lake place.) Angelo (and his friendly, fun and fabulous staff, including fan favorite & adorable blonde, Michelle the waitress/Angelo’s right arm!) is so incredibly warm & welcoming (and a native of Italy, where he learned to cook delicious Italian dishes!) that all customers feel immediately at home. The environment is casual, homey & (I’ve got to repeat this!) super-​friendly! Even if you want to stop by alone and lose yourself in a book while you chow down on the most delectable Sicilian slice around or (my special fave) an amazing Caesar salad with imported mozzarella (yes, the freshest and finest ingredients are used here) or chicken Marsala or whatever Italian fare you desire, you will fall in love with La Villetta II. Introduce yourself to Angelo and Michelle and a rewarding friendship will be forged. There’s on-​street parking or an open lot conveniently right around the corner. My boyfriend and I are La Villetta II’s biggest fans, along with everyone else who eats there! Once you try the food, experience the family-​friendly, family-​feeling, red-​checked-​tablecloth ambiance, you will become a «regular» too! Hope to see you there – for lunch or dinner!
