Villaggio is located in a rather unassuming strip plaza just outside of the heart of Kleinburg but don't let the setting fool you. Inside is a large space that uses plenty of glass and wood to create a more intimate and comfortable setting (the glass...enclosed wine cellar is something to see). The food is pretty good too! We shared the rather large arancini appetizer - wonderfully crispy exterior with the pecorino cheese adding nice flavour. The pastas are also excellent - we thoroughly enjoyed the pappardelle with lamb and cavatelli with salmon. Lots of wine selections by the glass. Prices are at the high end (pastas between $21 and $24) and the service excellent.More

Not a first timer here But I am very disappointed with the meal. I had to send back our dishes because they were over cooked and one raw . No one from management came to say anything to us and that’s was bad . When...they brought back both our meals The potion were smaller then the original ones and I was embarrassed to send back my dish because it was again undercook . To be charge 39.00 for a less then. 4 finger size or less the 4oz piece of fish an to charges 40.00 for two piece of veal less then 5oz not worth it at all. I did look around my table and the other guess who ordering the fish were well I guess they were shock as well as I was . Sorry I am only stating this so you can get this right the way I remember this ristorante but our party will be be back . Ciao .More

Nice big restaurant but still cozy & lots of tables...but still make a reservation. There were alot of big parties but they seated us in the back in a nice cozy nook. Waitress came over for our drink orders & I asked to see a...cocktail menu. They didn't have one. I was very shocked at this as it's a nice restaurant and they should have a cocktail menu. She said they could make whatever I wanted but I didn't know what I wanted & looking at a cocktail menu would of have given me ideas. I think they would sell more cocktails with a menu to entice people. I just ordered a glass of chardonnay & my boyfriend ordered a spritz. Another waiter came over to bring us something & asked how we were & I asked if he had any ideas for cocktails since there was no menu & he responded that they can make anything. I said that I don't know what I want & it would be good to have a menu to give people ideas. He told me to have a spritz because my boyfriend was having one but I told him I didn't want a spritz. He was quite stern about not needing a menu & putting my suggestion in the comment box. Not the right thing to say. He finally said that he would pass on my suggestion. I really wasn't trying to be difficult, I was trying to give some advice to increase sales as I think people would order more cocktails if there were interesting items on the list. Same thing goes for after dinner drinks...there should be a menu. Let's move on from this because everything else was wonderful! We ended up ordering a half litre of wine. We felt like a chardonnay and there was only one that we saw so we ordered that & it was great & surprisingly inexpensive. I thought the wines were all well priced. We had the octopus & the shrimp diablo as appetizers. The octopus was so good & it was very different then any other place we've had it. We loved that it came with black olives, potatoes & tomatoes & it was cooked very well. The shrimp diablo was good, nothing unique but ok. Soup of the day was very good - can't remember what it was as my boyfriend had that. I had the raddichio salad with pecans, pear & ricotta & it was very refreshing & I love raddicchio so I loved this salad. My boyfriend had the Aragosta with lobster tail. It was delicious! The lobster tail was cooked well & tasty but he said that he would just have the risotto with the lobster meat & not the lobster tail next time. I had the spigola (european bass) that was cooked whole & served de-boned. It came with a celeriac puree & bean salad. The dish was perfect & I loved all the different tastes. The fish was done simply & I loved that it didn't come with standard veggies & potatoes. It was a unique dish. Make sure you save room for dessert. We had the cheesecake & the espresso creme brulee. The desserts are very large portions! We were surprised how large they were. The creme brulee was very good & we enjoyed the espresso flavour. The cheesecake was incredible! I think it's famous because everyone recommends it. It didn't disappoint...every bite was delicious! If I was looking for a dessert one night, I would come back here & have dessert with a coffee & dessert liqueur. We had a camomile grappa & a calabrese amaro. I've never had this amaro & really enjoyed it. I also have to say that Anessa was our server & she was fabulous. She recommended pretty much the whole meal & we weren't disappointed. She was friendly, knowledgeable & paced our food order just right. Thank you Anessa! (hope I spelled your name correctly). We will be back!More
