   New Year’s reduced menu still has lots of great options. Service was fantastic. Only concern is lack of transparency of gluten-free options. Pretty sure most of the sauces are thickened with flour based on next day symptoms in a gluten-sensitive party member.

   Overall experience was good. Waiter seemed inexperienced but friendly. Everyone enjoyed their dinners except one, but it was his fault for ordering an everyday steak at a restaurant known for exotic game and Italian specialties. They did try to fix it, and took it off the bill, so it was an overall good experience.

   The server, cocktails and the food were amazing. My friends and I had a wonderful Holiday gathering. I have been to the restaurant several times and have never been disappointed.

   Enjoyable date night location. Great services, good value for meal. Portions are not the biggest but still enough to feel like a good deal. Overall, would recommend - but would advise to put in a reservation on the weekends!

   The food was bland. Ordered mussels in white sauce for an appetizer. They had very little flavor and the mussels were stringy and overcooked. However there was a good quantity. For our entrees we had Chicken Marsala and Chicken Parmesan with penne pasta. The chicken Marsala sauce was thick brown and bland with mushrooms. It was more like a Salisbury steak sauce. The Chicken parmigiana was overcooked and rubbery with an odd flavor to the cheese. The cost of the dishes were reasonable. What was not reasonable was that they charged 4 dollars for the penne. The waiter said if we would have selected spaghetti noodle it would have come with the meal. The menu does say you get a potato and veggie or pasta with the meal. But if you choose penne be aware you may be charged 4 dollars for a small bowl. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere wish the food was better.

   Restaurant is old and tired. Pasta was overcooked and food was expensive for the quality. Won’t go back.

   Hosted lunch for the companies executives and Board Members visiting from various locations. All were impressed with the food options and noted that the meals were delicious. The place was empty given it had just opened for the day which was nice. The group noted service was also excellent, and overall were very pleased with their visit to Villa Barolo. We will utilize their services again in the future!
