I have lived all across the United States and this is still my favorite pizza. Classic cheese and sausage with a unique cornmeal dusted crust. Family-run restaurant since 1957. Comfortable casual atmosphere decorated for the holidays. Many other traditional Italian dishes also. #pizza #kenosha #italianfood

A marvellous local place right across the street from Lake Michigan. The food makes Villa D’ Carlo. Everyone needs a place like this in your neighbourhood.
The food is Italian, Villa D’Carlo Italian—what your mother made if she was Italian. ….yet they slipped in a few comfort items if you just not in the mood for Italian tonight. And if you don’t see it on the menu, ask. My wife asked about Eggplant Parmesan, and they made it. It was among her top 5, ever. Including places in Italy.
They respect the raw ingredients and make it happen. Service is great. They are watching, but don’t hover. Good diverse wine list and other drinks.
Get off the freeway. You and your people need the Villa D’ Carlo.

Interesting establishment. Italian cuisine, very decent and original especially to specific regions in Italy. An extensive list of wines and cocktails! The atmosphere is dated, which probably influences the great number of long time customers from the area. The clams and linguine were pretty good but the linguine was not drained enough so there was a lot of water on the dish. I just had the broasted chicken, the green beans were fantastic! The dinner salads we had were delicious. There was a mountain of blue cheese on my wife’s salad which she appreciated. The staff was tremendous, extremely efficient. The entertainment was one of the Chefs in the kitchen kept calling one of the Hostesses (Irene), reminiscent of Marlon Brando yelling Stella (S Street Car Named Desire!) It was pretty hilarious! I would recommend this establishment, it definitely is a step back in time and not a sanitized vision of something.

My wife and I had the pleasure of going to the villa de Carlo again on Saturday, February 21St We had the pleasure of having a server named Bree, Excuse my spelling, She was the most gracious and pleasurable a breath of fresh air that you will not find everywhere the personality of a goddess she made ordering a pleasure. She was prompt and knowledgeable over every single thing at the villa. be kind of waitresses are hard to find so you had better keep this one. Bob and Alice Sterc

****Update****
After our initial experience, we decided to do a little test. The whole story about the wings did not make sense at all. We decided to order the wings for takeout to see if we would still get the same “hot” wings that were tossed in Buffalo sauce and BBQ sauce. We were right. The wings we had during our first experience were not their typical hot wings. Our take out order had the correct wings, the traditional wings tossed in Buffalo sauce. I am adding another photo so you can see the difference for yourself.
The worst part of this experience was the LYING. Why lie? Why make up an elaborate story as if we didn’t have any common sense? We were enjoying ourselves, and we were totally fine waiting for a fresh order of wings. We were willing to pay for the hot wings and the BBQ/Buffalo combo wings. We are still confused by the service we received.
If you plan on eating at this restaurant, just know that you might not get new food in the event your order is messed up.
Original Review:
Tonight was a huge disappointment. We ordered hot wings, chicken dumpling soup, and 3 different 9-inch pizzas. First and foremost, we ordered the hot wings with a side of BBQ sauce as an appetizer. The server came out to let us know that the cook accidentally tossed the wings in BBQ sauce instead of putting it on the side. She told us they were making a new order of hot wings. We told her it was no problem, we were fine waiting. 30 seconds later, she brings out the “hot” wings. I asked her if the wings were the hot ones or the BBQ ones and she told us they were the hot ones. I took a bite and they were 100% tossed in BBQ sauce. When she came back, we let her know they were BBQ and asked if we could place another order of traditional hot wings with no BBQ sauce. She said absolutely and she would ask them to remove the BBQ ones off the bill. (We were fine paying, we just wanted an order of traditional hot wings.) And one minute later she comes back and told us that’s how they make their hot wings. She said their hot wings are hot sauce mixed with BBQ sauce. I asked if I could just have hot sauce and she told me no. Needless to say, her story made zero sense at all and it was very disappointing. (Picture below, you be the judge) I ordered the chicken dumpling soup. I wasn’t impressed it didn’t have homemade dumplings, rather, they just dumped some gnocchi in the soup. Lastly, the pizzas were okay but overall mostly flavorless. They lacked any seasoning or flavor.
We sat outside and it was nice at first, then there were a ton of bees. We had to leave because I am allergic to bees and there were at least 5 hovering over us and our food.
After tonight’s experience, we will not be returning.

Service is so so. Ordered cannoli. There was a squirt of cheese on one end. The rest was empty. Ordered pizza. It was ok. Used to be better. Sals was ordered with Italian dressing. Balsamic vinaigrette is NOT Italian. Won’t return.

Came here for my bday dinner. It has been a few years, but I always loved the ribs. Got seated and our waitress finally came over to take our drink order. Pretty simple. I ordered a tap beer and the wife asked for water. 15 minutes late, I waved at her and she brought out our drinks. Another 10 to 15 minutes after we ordered our meals came the salads and bread. She asked if I would like another beer and said yes. After 15 minutes once again I waved at her. She ran to the bar and brought me the beer. I commented that I was wondering if it was coming, and instead of apologizing for the delay, she got defensive and said “you can see we are busy, it may take awhile”. I had noticed that the other waitress was extremely quick with her customers and constantly checked on them. And I have seen this place much busier than tonight. When we got our meals, both the wife and I were very pleased. The food here is fantastic, but do not get the older blond crew cut with a man’s topknot. She is in my opinion is a horrible waitress.

I’ve always loved the pizza, but tonight I ordered for delivery and after 2 hours I was told it would arrive in 10 minutes. 30 minutes later I called to cancel and had to give my cc number 4 times as no one could follow along and get it right. They could when they charged me, just not when reversing the charges. No apology and no reason, other than to blame the driver, who probably has no idea their tip is being ruined in the kitchen.

We have been coming to this place for over a decade. Really good pizza. However, we order a tiramisu. My husband was enjoying it till he had to split out some shrimp tail shells . We showed it to the waitress. She made a disgusted sound but didn’t take it off our bill!!! So disappointed! We had to ask for that to be removed from our bill.

Have gone here several times and always enjoyable. This time we came on Mother’s day so the place was busy and every table was seated. Our table had the veal cutlet, lasagna and spaghetti with meatball. The portions were huge and had to take boxes home. They start you off with bread, pasta and red bean salad. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food.
