Our earliest childhood memories include making homemade tomato sauce in our Nonna’s driveway located in Corona, Queens. Being apart of five children, we all had our jobs. From cleaning bushels of raw tomatoes to jarring the sauce with fresh basil there was always enough made so you never left Sunday dinner hungry. Made at our family owned restaurant, Villaggio, you can now enjoy our family recipes. It’s the closest thing to our Nonnas driveway. “Come to Villaggio, where your treated like family” - Bon Apetito!

Had family come to Queens from Upstate to have an early Easter dinner. They were very pleased and enjoyed their meals. The restaurant was accommodating with the four children and various food and drink requests. Thank you Bobby for making our dinner a great experience.

We only have positive comments. We were quickly seated. The staff was very nice. The food is excellent. I had the chicken parm and the chicken was very good and tender. You can almost cut it with your fork. We were able to sit there and talk for a long time. Greatly appreciate that no one looked to rush us out. I highly recommend.
