Villa Sena

Excellent meals since taken back over by the original owner. Great service and Friday nights offer garlic pizza appetizer with the bread while it lasts. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, menu selection, and quiet dining ambiance with a bar.

Food and service has been excellent! Couldn’t be more satisfied. Just grabbed a light lunch (Sriracha Chicken) and had a great dinner here last night. The Tuscan chicken and risotto didn’t disappoint. Delicious.
Added an additional star from last review!

Do you have tastebuds? Do you like Italian Food? DONT. GO. HERE.
I am usually not one to go out of my way to write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to save the travelling business folk who pass through Towanda the same fate that my colleagues and myself met tonight. Maybe I am slightly jaded, being an «foodie» used to dining in metropolitan areas. But I am pretty sure that Bruschetta isn’t doughy room-​temperature bread (not toasted) with COLD roasted red peppers and mozzarella melted on top. Veal Saltimbucca? While the veal itself was cooked okay, it was coated in whole onion, with a meat I don’t think was Prosciutto… in a sugary glaze that had such a horrible after taste I am now eating combos and gummi bears in my hotel room (the Combos and Gummis being the highlight of my culinary experience in Towanda).
Add to this disaster the funny-​tasting tap water (which had to be requested), no silverware with dessert, the incorrect check, and very slow service (although we were for the most part the ONLY ones in the dining room). I was excited to order Ruffino Chianti, one of my favorites, but I am pretty sure that was not what I was served.
In hindsight, Wendy’s would have been a better pick.

Had dinner here one night while we were in town based on my girlfriends prior experience here. Dinner was mediocre. I got the vodka sauce that tasted like an ok marinara sauce. She had the chicken picatta. The chicken was very dry but everything else tasted good. Service was kind of slow for a week night with only 3 other tables occupied. We also didn’t get bread with our meal but the table of older gentleman that she was flirting with did?

Me and my wife went here one night for dinner it was the first time I was ever there. You drive up a nice long driveway up to the Villa Sena. We walking in and were nicely greeted and asked to seat on the deck. We sat down and a min later our waitress came over to us and took our drink order and told us the specials for the day. She came back with our drinks and took our food order. One thing I have never seen was the chef him self came out to the table and told me they did not have the one thing I ordered but he can make me this instead. After he left I was like wow I have never seen that anyplace. We got our appetizer nice and quick after. A few mins later our main meal came. As we were eating we saw the chef back out on the deck and he went from table to table and asked how his food was and if there was anything wrong with any of it. Wow really I have again never seen a chef come out to every table and seen how the food is. The food was great perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our experience was great beautiful view and a nice clean place with great food and great service. We will be going back.

The Villa has come along way in the past year or so since it has changed ownership. The menu is better and the service has improved dramatically. Food quality is dependable and there is always fun to be had at the bar. Sit outside if the weather is nice.

I’ve had amazing food here and I’ve have food that made me angry that I was paying for it. This place can be very inconsistent.

Fine little Italian Restaurant. had the usual «traditional» Italian items on the menu. We had the risotto, corn-​crab chowder, spaghetti in red sauce, fettucine carbonara, and peanut butter pie. All were done very well, and the service was professional.
We adjourned to the bar after dinner, which was a treat. bartender (J?) was awesome, music was great (Sirius plus a digital jukebox), plus a nice roaring fire.

Unlike prior reviews I found this to be one of the better restaurants in Towanda. Ate here twice this trip and food was fresh & well prepared with decent menu selections and tempting specials. Only detractor was somewhat slow service but we were in no hurry so not an issue.
