This is a fantastic place.

by gablescomputersDOTcom

As a Coral Gables resident I visit Villagio often. Like other posters have mentioned, this is a family friendly place. I have sampled just about everything on their menu and I enjoyed them all. I can't vouch for the wine and wine prices as I'm not a big wine drinker.

Yes the bar area does have the appearance of a sports bar however, the crowd is definetly upscale. If you want cheap beer and to watch sports, cross the courtyard where you will find the Yardhouse.

As you read the negative reviews, bear in mind as with all reviews, people are more inclined to write a bad review than to spend the time to write a good review.

Cheers.

• Pros: Great ambience. Fresh food.
• Cons: I can't go everyday

Great Restaurant

by ansxs

I couldn't believe what I was reading so I had to take the time to refute these bad posts. Villagio is a delicious Italian restaurant with great prices. I work close by, so I eat there regularly and I've never had a bad experience. The place is always packed so they have to be doing something right. I would not go there for Italian charm and romance - but the setting outside in Merrick Park is beautiful - one of the better outdoor restaurants. I find the bad posts on here hard to believe. I have no connection to the restaurant - just think it's not fair to give this place a bad wrap. This is a great inexpensive enjoyable place, very family friendly.

• Pros: great food, great prices

horrible food and worse service

by cuddleace

There was a hair in my food. The chicken was overcooked and the service was terrible. The manager of the night did nothing to make it right and his comment was no one in the kitchen has long hair. Do your self a favor and stay away from this restaurant!!!!! IT IS DISGUSTING TO FIND HAIR IN YOUR FOOD AND THE PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS FOR HORRIBLE FOOD

• Pros: none
• Cons: horrible service, and bad food
