The spirit of Pizzeria Villaggio can be traced back to our traditional roots in Campobasso, a humble town filled with beautiful people in Southern Italy. Pizzeria Villaggio has been run by the Palladino family since opening in 1986. Borrowing our grandparent’s secret recipes and adopting their love of good authentic food, combined with the Italian values of creating a great family atmosphere for all age groups, has contributed to our success and longevity. We have a dedicated & friendly team who are passionate about using high-quality ingredients to produce delicious Italian food.

We rate all the restaurants that we visit and write comments in a book so we know whether to come back in the future. These are ours for your restaurant. We loved the restaurant and the food was fantastic and value for the money. Halloumi and garlic mushrooms starters were to die for. The lasagne and the tai curry were by far the best that we have eaten. The young lad with the tattoos was exceptional and at his job and communication was fantastic with him. The service was very slow here. And we had to ask when our starters were coming Having said that last comment I would still highly recommend this one. Definitely use this restaurant again. Thank you 8/10
