In order to tell the story of how La Villa came to be in 1982 properly, we must go back three decades before. In 1955 my Uncle, Gino Branchinelli opened the family’s first Pizzeria on 5th avenue and Bay ridge. He along with my Other Uncle, Antonio opened more locations around Brooklyn and in 1960 opened Gino’s Italian Ices on 39th street as well. In the late 60’s My Father Benito joined my uncle at his current location in Long Beach, Long Island which opened in 1962. After 14 years there, my Father decided to leave Long Beach.
The award-winning culinary team at La Villa has established the resort as a world-class culinary destination. Their knowledge and experience of worldly flavors and distinctive culinary techniques, has garnered numerous raves from discerning publications, including Food & Wine, Esquire and Wine Spectator. Most recently, the restaurant was awarded the coveted Mobil 5-Star for culinary excellence.

The place is very clean and the service was great. I had the Lasagna it was fantastic. The other dishes (i.e. Spaghetti and meatballs, Baked Ziti, Calzone) to name some of the dishes we order. Everyone was very pleased. Will indeed come back here again. read less

This pizza has the one of the best if not the best sauce in all of new york and beats out the most popular joints. The dough is extremely light and fluffy yet so crispy at the same time. Absolute BEST! read less

You are told to choose any seat and the waiter will be with you. Menu is very straight to the point. Ended up ordering a regular slice for my son and chicken Parmesan with pasta for myself. It was delicious, I definitely can't complain! Bathroom was very clean!!! Will definitely recommend and return read less

There is another Italian restaurant only two blocks away, Pizza D'Amore, but for the dishes they have in common, La Villa's is ALWAYS the better-tasting (but La Villa is also always slightly more expensive). I tend to order delivery, but when I eat in the restaurant, the service has always been excellent. As for delivery, only once did my food arrive on the coldish-side and possibly undercooked - but that was Valentine's day evening, so the kitchen must have been overwhelmed by all of the orders. There was no meat in it anyway, so it wasn't dangerous. It's basically my own fault for ordering delivery on St. Valentine's day. Anyway, La Villa is my favorite Italian restaurant in this section of Brooklyn. I've eaten their food maybe 100 times, and don't plan on stopping. It's REALLY good. read less

We particularly like its Focaccia Della Nonna (Grandma pizza)---the wood fired thin crust version---is outstanding.Also its organic baby green salad and it's pappardelle La Villa pasta dish are worthy choices.Regrettably it's prices have once again been significantly raised. 6-19 read less

The bread basket is generous and tasty (not just sliced bread but flat onion bread); the Cesar salad was fresh; the regular pizza was delicious; the chicken parm with rigatoni was great and a huge portion. A great place. I want to add the service was very attentive and polite. read less

I used to eat from La Villa in Park Slope and sometimes even Marine Park! When Dyker Heights opened I almost died I was so so excited! Service, cleanliness is always on point! Portions are great, everything is always delicious. My favorite item on the menu has got to be the chicken caesar wrap with fresh mozzarella! I have been eating this wrap since 2010! I love their entire menu! As for the pizza, margarita and vegetale are my go to! La Villa doesn't disappoint! The quality is there hence the higher price points. read less

I've only been to the Mill Basin location but the food is amazing. I would recommend the Chicken Parm with a side of Rigatoni. They aren't cheap with the cheese and the chicken parm is always fully loaded with an over flow of cheese. The onion bread they give complimentary is also AMAZING omg! Could eat it forever. Although it's pretty expensive, it's hard to find an Italian place in the area that lives up to La villa and has the same quality of food. They have 3 locations in the Brooklyn area I believe, so make sure to check one of them out! read less

In general this place is consistently good and uses quality ingredients, and now we don't have to drive to the other side of Brooklyn, they opened a second Brooklyn location in dyker park area. read less
