We were in town for the day and found our way to Il Villagio. It's small size gives it a homey atmosphere. The food is delicious and plentiful. Their signature salad is a surprising twist on a classic dinner salad. The staff is wonderful, friendly and went the extra mile to accommodate a very picky eater. We had a great... More

This restaurant is small but a wonderful, quaint atmosphere. We got in without a problem on a Saturday night around 5:30 p.m. We loved the atmosphere and the service was excellent.

My starter of mussels was less exciting - the mussels were plump enough,... More

My boyfriend and I were in Boston this past weekend, and we were roaming around the North End looking for a good Italian place to eat dinner (per advise from this forum, we followed our noses and checked out a few menus rather than setting out for a pre-determined destination). ... we ended up in Il Villagio. We were seated... More
