My wife and I went here on a Wednesday a few minutes after 3pm( they open at 3) . That being said we were the only ones there . We were greeted by the owners (husband and wife ) . Both were very friendly and informative on their food . I had the the Chicken Marsala and my Wife had the Pappardelle ( short rib ragu). Both dishes were excellent , and the pasta is made in house (another plus fresh) . We both shared a insalate , roasted beets(whipped goat cheese pistachio and orange vinaigrette ). Again another winner it was different and very good . We end with and espresso and a latte with the house made Tiramisu . To no surprise this to was excellent . So to cap this off , excellent host excellent service excellent food very fair prices to self favor. Check it out.

I consider it the best place in the area. Authentic Italian. Ari and his wife prepare each dish with love. Last time we had a fresh branzino salted and also carpacio. Il Villaggio salad is also a favorite.

My boyfriend and I tried il Villaggio authentic for the first time tonight and were very impressed. The atmosphere is very nice and the food was great. My boyfriend and I both got the chicken parm which we loved. Definitely will be back and looking forward to trying the drinks, the bar looks really nice.

I had an amazing experience dinning here. The menu was unique and the quality of the food was great. Everything thing tasted fresh. They make their own bread and it was amazing.The staff was very friendly! The chef came out to say hello. The cocktails were very good and did the job. Def coming back soon!

An absolute gem! This is absolutely the best Italian food available in Westchester and Putnam, and I say that having worked or eaten at most of them. The chef and owner of this restaurant has worked in some of the most acclaimed restaurants in Boston's North End and some of Philadelphia's favorite Italian restaurants, and his experience clearly shows. The handmade pastas, fresh ingredients, and authentic flavors that compose the dishes offered on the thoughtfully designed menu remind me of dining experiences I have only ever had in Tuscany. My yardstick for evaluating a new Italian restaurant in the U.S. is the fried calamari and chicken parmesan because both dishes are simple and every menu has them, but they are easy to mess up and very difficult to elevate to something impressive. I can say without a doubt that the chef here elevates both dishes without changing the basic familiar formula; it is evident that the combination of skillful culinary excellence and fresh ingredients are what drives the kitchen here. Perfectly battered, fried at a temperature that produces light and crispy texture without allowing the greasiness to make it into the food, and a beautiful tomato sauce that showcases how the natural acidity in the tomatoes can brighten up a fried dish in a way that less experienced chefs depend on lemon to do. Not to mention the amazingly attentive front of the house staff, high quality and reasonably priced wine by the glass options, and spacious dining room with table layouts arranged to maximize customer comfort over seating volume. IL Villaggio Authentic is an Italian vacation right in my family's backyard. If you have read my review this far, you are wasting your time and should be eating there instead!

My wife and I went on Valentine’s Day. They were short staffed and the food took a little longer but it was good because it was Friday and we were not in a rush. They were very apologetic and there was no need to be because these things happen. It was a happy environment, the staff was friendly and attentive even while they were short staffed and the food was phenomenal and the drinks were really good. This was our first time there and it is nice to know we have a restaurant like this in town. We will return. I would like to emphasize that the food was really good.

This place is truly a hidden gem! Ardita & Ari are wonderful people. I’ve been here a few times with my significant other and we love it. I just recently took my parents here and they loved everything, and the service was impeccable. The calamari, and chicken Parmesan was amazing, as well as their drinks (the espresso martini is a go-to!) Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed.
