Classic hometown diner. My kind of place....Good food and value for the money. Variety of beer and wine. Quick friendly service. Only draw back......Don't eat the pizza _Very Greasy). Everything else I have eaten there was quite good.

We were staying across the street and needed a quick bite to eat. The food is pretty basic. Nothing really special about it.

This place is a local fav and it has quick service and pretty good food. I had hotcakes(short stack is plenty) and another day I had eggs and biscuits and gravy and they were great. Enjoyed it.

Stopped here before heading to a UVA tour and got a delicious, filling breakfast for a great price. The place was full of UVA orange sweatshirts before a big basketball game and, in no time at all, there was a steady wait at the door. Great basic breakfast food!

Service was prompt, food followed quickly, it matched the advance advertising, hours go (fairly) late, the prices were modest, and breakfast is available all day. What's not to like?

Right next to the Cavalier Inn. Breakfast--and plenty of food on every plate--all day is just one of the highlights. Grill toasted English Muffin was a tasty surprise. The furniture is worn, but that does not detract from the food and friendly service.

My wife and I always frequent The Villa Diner when we take our son back to school. One can order breakfast all day yet the menu is chock full of lunch and dinner items that are quite good. The sandwiches are delicious and the pizza is also noteworthy. Remember...The Villa is a diner, NOT a white napkin restaurant so if... More

The wine queen and I met friends there for breakfast prior to the football game. The first thing I must mention is that the Villa is adjacent to one of The University's parking garages used for football parking. So it was convenient. We'll use that garage more often in the future and it's no further from the stadium than the... More

We drove through Charlottesville on a Sunday afternoon and decided to stop in at the Villa @ 1:30 PM for a late breakfast. Our waitress was warm, friendly and efficient, in spite of being very busy. I had scrambled eggs, corn beef hash, hash browns, wheat toast and a drink. My toast was actually still warm when it was served... More
