It was a great experience since our last time here before their renovation. Felt like the bacon jam wasn’t as thick as before, but the flavor is still good. Steaks were done to perfection, the value of the meal overall is more than we would have expected for this place but we understood that going into it. Craft beer selection seemed less than the times we used to come here. Would come back again because our server was great.

We are older ladies. We made a reservation for a booth in the bar, and ordered off the bar menu. It was delicious, and perfect! We don't eat as much as we used to.

As always we had a great experience at Villa Macri’s. Food was excellent, our waitress Maddison was very attentive and the “round room” was a perfect place to dine with our friends.
