    Delicious food and classy atmosphere. You MUST try the bread It is the best! We had the chicken parm and the eggplant parm. Our waitress Haleigh was very charming and knowledgeable. Great service! The tiramisu for dessert was divine! We highly recommend The Little Village!

    In general the food is mediocre. The chilean sea bass special was overpriced and there was very little crab for the price. The hostess was rude to an elderly patron sitting next to us. The food is not worth the cost

    The food and service were good, my only nit to pick was the furniture(chairs) have seen there better days, virtually all the seating pads were worn and most had tears or splits that were concerning for how they can be kept clean.

    Nice waiter. Very basic mediocre food. Overpriced. All dishes seemed to have some variation of this oily cream sauce.

    This was our first time and we had a lovely evening. Our server was really wonderful. She had great suggestions and took very good care of us. The food was great and it is very well priced for a restaurant downtown. It was very busy, which did make the food coming out a bit slow, but that is not a big deal. We were in no rush. I would definitely suggest making a reservation though.

    We were there early and it was great. But within 30 minutes the noise level got very high making it much less enjoyable. They need to look into some noise, cancellation materials. Also, the tables are space very close together. When becoming seated, the table next to us actually slammed into my friends chair.
