We visited this restaurant for a friend’s birthday gathering. The food was good, but I’ve had better Italian food in different restaurants. The ambience was nice and the service from our waiter was mediocre, could have been better. The older gentleman who might be the owner was very friendly. Our order took longer than expected to arrive, perhaps because there were two or three big parties celebrating birthdays. Overall experience was not bad.

We had an incredible three-course Valentine’s Day dinner at Villa Risi. We started with a crisp, flavorful Caesar salad, followed by heart-shaped cheese ravioli in a rich rosé sauce that was as pretty as it was tasty. For the main course, the chicken and mixed vegetables were perfectly complemented by a decadent white wine, roasted tomato, and mushroom cream sauce that was to die for. All complimented with warm italian bread. To top it off the server was attentive and accommodating. A delicious and memorable evening!

My gf and I found this hidden gem and we were very happy with the service, food and atmosphere. Very cozy Italian spot that has a live band. I left early so was not able to see the performance. Definitely next time. It was the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner date!

Hubby and I got married in Villa Risi 18 yrs ago today. At least once a year, we go back to celebrate. The service and food never disappoint.
Last night, I had the bacon wrapped scallops. Best I’ve ever had. I may even just pop by to order them as a snack.
My chicken stuffed with roasted red peppers and spinach was delicious. I love that they make everything fresh so I can do the sauce sans peppercorns.
Hubby had the heart-shaped pasta. Delicious! Because, of course, he let me steal one. Lol
I definitely recommend Villa Risi. You won’t be disappointed. A local family owned restaurant doesn’t stay in business unless they are great!
Lastly, the owner (Francine), who helped me with our wedding plans, went above and beyond with assistance. If you’re looking for a restaurant venue for any celebration, consider checking them out.

We held a special family gathering and dinner at Villa Risi this past Friday evening.
The evening was outstanding. Food was superb — and lots of selection. Atmosphere was delightful. And the service and hospitality was above and beyond.
You cannot go wrong to eat there. We will be back (and again!)

This was our second time at Villa Risi.
A great experience again.
The food was amazing, the portions were generous and the service was exceptional.
One could get hung up with an uneven table or the wine glasses that were quite thick, but the wine inside was delicious and again everything else was amazing.
We will definitely be back again!!!
