Villa Italiano Chophouse

Service - below average. Took a while to get drinks and other requested items. Food - pretty good for a resort restaurant. Ambiance - nice ambiance. Restaurant was full but not crowded.

The only saving grace of this meal was the steak & our server. Potatoes were tasteless. My Husband and our friend ordered the Chicken Parmigiana, which was rock hard around the edges & like plywood for the rest. When Villa Italiano first opened, the food was spectacular. We bragged about it to anyone who would listen! The place has steeply gone downhill since then. There is only 1 "chophouse" item on the menu now & that is a steak. The menu is extremely limited and way too pricey. We come to Westgate every winter and have always enjoyed this restaurant before. After this, we'll stick with Drafts. The food is better and more reasonably priced. Villa Italiano has lost 4 customers. We won't be back.

We made reservations for a Friday night. We walked in and were seated right away. It wasn't terribly busy. We had a young man as our server and he was very friendly and polite. We started out with the bruschetta. I personally thought the bread was too toasted and hard. I prefer it lightly toasted so it doesn't tear up the top of my mouth. I ordered the ravioli and the noodles were delicious and cooked perfectly but the meat inside was dry and bland. I wouldn't order that again. We also ordered the bolognese which was pretty good. Our service was terribly slow. The ambience was nice. It would be great outside when the weather cools off. Not sure I would return.

We made reservation for 8:30 not realizing they closed at 9, but never felt rushed. Food was good. Service was a little slow had to ask multiple times for things. We came for a date night and was seated near a party of 7 with lots of kids, guess you aren't truly kidless

This restaurant is located at the Westgate Town Center/ Westgate Vacation Villas Resort property and is open to the public. Since it's on the property of a huge resort I recommend you make reservations in advance (We made reservations on the open table app) and make sure you get there early. You have to go through the security gate and find parking as close to the restaurant as possible, so you want to give yourself time to do that. As soon as we sat down we got complimentary bread service with a 3-optioned spread dish: butter, oil & balsamic, and an interesting olives option. The bread was sourdough and the other one had cranberries in it. For an appetizer, we got the calamari and I was obsessed with it. They were so tender and lightly breaded and the sauce to dip them in was delish. For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp Alfredo Pasta and it was amazing. The alfredo sauce was very flavorful and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. I loved every bite, and everyone else in the party enjoyed their dishes just the same.As for pricing, it's not too bad but not on the cheap side either. Keep in mind you are dining at a resort, but I think it's comparable to other locations for meals at this point. I highly recommend checking them out, especially for a special occasion or just a nice night out.

Loved the ambiance, we were looking for a fancy dinner and this was perfect. Our server porscha was fantastic. Food was delicious and served beautifully.

The place was a bit colder than I would've liked for it to be. But otherwise, the service was quick, the atmosphere was nice, and the food was outstanding! Well worth stopping by. I just hope they turn up the thermostat next time. Brrr.

Listen....... This place was perfect...... from the service, to the food, to the flavorful PRIDE drink. Ms. Porsha SERVED!!!!!!!!!!!! My wife and I couldn't stop smiling lol. It's like we were FAMILYIf we felt so welcomed. The hostess Ms D. Personality stood out as soon as we walked in the door. We will definitely be back before we leave the resort. This is my favorite restaurant. You guys rock.The steak and the carbonara knocked us out our seats.

Honestly the reviews were scaring me but we tried it anyways...awesome food. Truly. Only thing I would change is automatic complimentary chips and salsa upon being seated. And they need larger guacamole portions. Also Loretta is an awesome waitress. About $100 for a family of 4.

Restaurant, service, and food were ok. Big negatives - credit cards only, no cash!! And when you pay by credit card they bring the little terminal to you. They automatically add 20% in and it's confusing because then they expect you to tip additional. I was with five of my friends and two of them tipped on top of the 20% another 20% before we realized it. Here's a copy of my receipt and when you add it up, it doesn't add up correctly. Difficult to get it fixed, too. Wouldn't go back.
