    .The restaurant has an elegant, upscale vibe with dim lighting and a refined menu that really sets the tone for a great night out. They start you off with house-made sourdough and focaccia, served with oil and vinegar—an excellent first bite that hints at the quality to come. One of the standout features here is that they make their pasta fresh in-house. We ordered the grilled ribeye, served with seasonal vegetables and creamy Boursin potatoes, and the seafood cannelloni—pasta stuffed with lobster, shrimp, and scallops, tossed in a rich white wine cream sauce and topped with a thick layer of cheese. To top it all off, their pastry chef Zeke prepared a special cheesecake just for my birthday. It was the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal. If you plan to visit, make sure to allow plenty of time to enjoy the experience—this is not a place to rush through dinner.

    Celebrated my Wife’s birthday early at her favorite place! She loved it! Our drinks, appetizers and food were amazing!!! When dessert was brought out it was beautifully decorated and the desserts were very delicious as always!

    Overall the experience was nice. We have been several times and the music is always entirely too loud to comfortably carry on a conversation. I feel the restaurant hasn’t figured out what it it wants to be. Either a high end stand alone or a strip center restaurant. Our server was awesome and my wife was wished happy Mother’s Day multiple times and made the visit special. I love that ownership is engaged and you can tell with staff. I am really torn on this place. There are some extremely good things and some not so.
    J&S Italian VillaResponded on May 18, 2025
    Tom, we really do appreciate your feedback and review, thank you! We apologize for the live music being too loud and please know that we addressed this matter. We thank you for your compliment about the service and for joining us on Mother's Day and hope to serve you again in a near future.
