Growing up in an Italian household we NEVER went out for Italian food. It's just something we didn't do. When you grow up w/ ""home mades"" that's it. That is until Villa di Roma. My wife introduced me to it at the time we were dating and I was extremely skeptical. Well, that was 7 years ago and I look foward to going every so often ( monthly, lately back to back weekends). If your looking for an old fashioned no frills Italian setting then this is it. Some of the ""older"" servers remind me of my grandmother, not very personable but will do anything for ya. The ""younger ones Lisa and especially AnnaMaire are awsome. The Shrimp scampi sauce is like liquid cra_k. Heavy garlic and heavy butter mmmmmm. You will dip a whole loaf of bread because you can't get enough. Mussels in red are the same. Gnocchi are wonderful and the meatballs are as good as my moms/wife. No kidding. The drive from South Jersey is 100% worth it. Just writing this my mouth is watering. Heck maybe we'll go tonight.
Pros: True Italian experience, Scampi sauce, red sauce, pastas
Cons: I guess cash only
