    My sister visiting from MN & MA have had take-out from Villa Dolce on previous trips to Madison. This time they wanted to eat there. They loved it--as I always have from day 1!

    Villa Dolce in Middleton is an AMAZING Italian restaurant. They have inventive and STRONG drinks, great appetizers, fantastic pizzas, and amazing desserts. Our server and the owner were very attentive and made certain we enjoyed our evening with them. We will go back again for sure!

    Food was great as usual pizza, lamb and bruschetta. I still can't believe they try to call it a blognese with no pork and no veal and it's not a ragu it's a stew. Need a more diverse drink list. Appreciate the wine by the carafe. Suspect they may have some staffing problems. A lot of empty tables for not having open reservations on open table while we were dining

    Villa Dolce is no longer the quiet, intimate, somewhat upscale dining experience it was. The service and the food was only fair, especially for the cost.

    A popular place - make reservations if you really want to eat at a specific time. Good reason for the popularity: great food for the price, plus efficient and friendly service.

    Service was great from the time we walked in--we were seated promptly, greeted by our waiter and taken care of through the whole meal. Things were properly paced and we never felt rushed. The food was very good. We started with the smoked salmon bruschetta which was excellent as were the entrees--calzone, bolognese and butternut squash ravioli. Portion sizes were generous. The wine list is solid, even by the glass.

    Our server was not very friendly. She did not want to serve us when we requested something. Each time we asked her for something, she made a face like we were inconveniencing her! And my husband ordered the Lamb and it was cold. He did not want to complain because we had brought a clients dinner and had said how wonderful your restaurant was. Unfortunately we were disappointed ☹️. This has been one of or favorite restaurants. Not sure if we will be back.

    I went to Villa Dolce with my two kids and we liked the interior of the restaurant as well as the ambience. The food was decent with big portion, but the dessert was a bit over-sweet. The waitress was polite; however, for some reason neither did she mention "Today's Special" to us, nor did she offer the drink menu, which was kind of odd. It was a fine dining experience in general, although a little lower than my expectation.

    The linguini with shrimp and scallops was very delicious along with the warm dinner roll. The linguini was not heavy, but very light because the noodles were thin. The dish was served with a light sauce and peas. The restaurant is decorated in a modern decor which is very nice.

    Food and drinks were great for the price (especially the drinks). The ambience was nice as well. The tables were a little too close together, however (even the waitress had trouble squeezing in between the tables of two parties sometimes). Would definitely dine there again soon and likely request some of the tables in the back specifically (which offered more privacy).
