Wow everything we ate was amazing. Our servers name was Fernando. He was so friendly and made great recommendations since it was our first time there. The bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had. So fresh and light. The food tasted authentic with a great variety to choose from.
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!!!
Great food very tasty, good selection of food and wine with a very nice jazz atmosphere, went here for my birthday and will definitely be back soon!

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.
The food was so delicious with lots of vegetarian options, and they are willing to accommodate any special requests. We had Peter as a server (at least that was the name on the bill), he was super attentive, very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour while being professional. Portion sizes were great, I had to take a doggy bag with me because it was too good to waste! The prices were extremely reasonable for the quality and service we received. They also had a live musician who was very talented and the volume was perfect so you could enjoy it but still hold a conversation at a normal decibel. We would highly recommend and will definitely go back again.
