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.

This is my to go place for pIzza, salad and beer. We also come for their chicken sandwich at times. The side onion bread sticks OH MY! So delicious (complementary). Pizza is always superb and their salads are very fresh and giant servings - enough for two or three people. This location is spacious and very clean - (a bit "stale"- different look from the cozy-family feel spot in park slope but it still manages to have great service. read less

Ive watched this staff handle crowds of people to the back of the store with finesse and grace and personability. Also? its a stroke of genius this shop offers black OR white and black AND white cookies! Sometimes Im feeling one or the other, y'know? Its good to have choices and this cafe has been incredible to me. read less

Been coming for years, and the margarita pizza never disappoints. The crust is delicious, crispy and chewy with a smokey flavor from their wood fired ovens. Highly recommend all items that are wood-fires here, including the tasty morsels of onion bread that come warm and fresh to every table when you dine in. We also love the pasta with clams, the la villa salad with lemon vinaigrette, and their soups are delicious too. read less

It's just that good, it's a must try dish here. For appetizers, we got their meatball which I should have saved to eat with the pasta. Their meatball is so soft and juicy. They have good customer service, since my party was a table of 10 we had to wait 30 mins if we all wanted to seat next to each other or we can get two tables close together. Since we waited more than 30 mins they offered us two slices of pizza to share it was sliced in small pieces. They do have a mini parking lot so you don't have to worry about parking. I'm coming back with friends to try more food here :) read less
