Villa-O

Maybe it was just the lunch vibe or maybe it was what I ordered, but my experience was just okay. Pasta seemed under cooked but the flavor was good. The waiter was attentive for being the only one in the area. The outside seating was nice for the weather. I have heard great things for brunch so maybe that is what I will do next time.

There are not many places around Dallas where you can get a bottomless mimosa brunch for just $12 with the purchase of an entree. My friends and I have worked our way across the entire menu and have never had food that wasn't both delicious and uniquely presented. If you go, ask for Nathan! He is the best waiter and always makes you feel welcomed.

Our group of 6 was one of the first patrons to arrive. The service started slow, and as the restaurant filled, became slower. Bottomless mimosas? Well, that's great and all, but if it takes 30 minutes to get a refill, it's not really worth the money. The waitress has been paying wonderful attention to other 'older' patrons, and basically disregarding our table of thirty-somethings. If we ever asked for anything (syrup for our waffles, a refill on our drinks), it was met with a snide remark, basically an excuse for poor service.

A friend and I enjoyed our first visit to Villa-O last night. We wanted a quiet place to linger over a good meal and visit without feeling rushed. We got so much more than we expected! Our server was perfect...there when we needed her, but not hovering or slow. In fact, our food and beverages arrived in a timely manner. And the food--delicious, savory and perfectly prepared! We both had the lasagna bolognese and split sides of sautéed spinach and Brussels sprouts. Our calamari appetizer was light and tender and even though they usually serve it atop the sauce, we asked for sauce on the side and they graciously accommodated us. We will return! My only regret is I just finished my leftovers for lunch and can no longer look forward to them.

This place was absolutely amazing. The pasta is freshly made in house every morning. It just melts in your mouth and definitely a different texture that everyone needs to experience. Also my boyfriend asked if they could make fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp for him (wasn't on the menu) and it was outstanding. I will for sure be coming back. TIP: Don't get full on the first set of bread, because they bring out a different kind of garlic bread during your meal as well.

Service, service, service! This place is amazing from the bottomless drinks on Fridays and Saturdays to the half price bottle of wine on Wednesdays, to the vibe or the fabulous organic foods but what distinguishes this place from any other is the service. I have been a customer now for 2 years and I have never been disappointed. This place has become one of my regular places to go to for late lunch, dinner or my favorite brunch. They have an excellent patio and decor that resembles a yatch or your favorite Marina spot. Makes me feel like I'm back at home and every single time I bring over a friend to this restaurant they adopt it as a new favorite too. My kuddos to all of you but specially Ismael, my favorite waiter.

Everything about this place is amazing. From the hostess to servers, and of course the food. There brunch items are unique and delicious. They have awesome mimosas, and they are bottomless. They have healthy options for the health conscious. The environment is trendy and lively.

Each year we come to celebrate our birthday with a weekend brunch. Yesterday we were there for my wife's birthday. We had reserved a high-top bar table for our group to gather around. We had arrived 20 minutes before our reservation was scheduled and we were told that we had no such reservation, but we could split the group into lots of tables scattered around the restaurant if we wanted. After several attempts to resolve this situation with the women at the front desk, we decided to try to have people just sit at the bar. We began ordering drinks and food as our group arrived. We ended up having about 12 people at this point, so the bar was getting a little cramped. All of the high-top bar tables were still empty. We approached the front desk once again to see what could be done. This time we brought the reservation receipt showing that we did, in fact, have a reservation that specified a high-top bar table. Forced to confront the error, we were then begrudgingly given the table closest to the kitchen - furthest from our group at the bar. The women at the front desk were needlessly rude and still refused to acknowledge the error, even after bringing proof. No apology was offered, no compensation, no attempt to rectify the error. The gentlemen working the bar, Carlos and Jerry, in particular, were the only ones that seemed to understand the issue. They continued working to be sure they were doing everything they could to help the situation. I sincerely thank them for their commitment to providing outstanding service. That being said, this is the last birthday we'll be celebrating with you guys. Dallas is full of restaurants that value their customers and understand customer service.
