We had an awesome dining experience tonite at Villagio. The cook came out to give us menu advice and the waiter was so patient with our picky wine choices. Beautiful atmosphere with delicious food. Highly recommend !!

We had my mother’s 80th birthday at Villaggio Prime. It was an outstanding experience. We had 24 people and they could not have been more accommodating. They opened early for us and made us feel right at home. Typical with a group that large we had a few last minute changes, but it didn’t matter..everything was taken in stride. True professionals! Food was delicious. Everything was perfectly done. Appetizers and salads were excellent. Entrees were equally as delicious.portions are generous (everyone asked to take food home). The staff was friendly, accommodating, and eager to help. It was the icing on the cake. I would not host a dinner anywhere else. It was perfect and I could not recommend it highly enough!!

I had the Scarparanielis and it was really delicious. Creamy with just the perfect amount of heat. The banana peppers were cooked perfectly. My partner got the pancetta scallops. She did not see any pancetta but I'm sure it was in there somewhere. Would come back! Don't ever cut back on the quirky decor. And our waiter Tim was really quite magnificent and entertaining. Man we really love that guy.

I have been coming here all my life, first their location on Main Street in Falmouth cafe villagio then their other location at the Falmouth inn, Landucci and now here in cotuit. Always loved this particular gnocchi dish, just amazing. I asked the owner if they would still make it even though it’s not in the menu and he gladly did. The owner is so hands on and it shows! Very good food. Great chicken tender appetizer and caprese salad , bread and cozy atmosphere.

We were able to catch up with an old friend on our 12th Anniversary this evening. Our Server Tim took great care of us tonight just as he did on our first Anniversary dinner. He made our night special then and he has done it many times since when we are lucky enough to have our anniversary on a night he is working. He was there when we brought our 3 month old daughter in for our Anniversary when we were too nervous to leave her at home. He’s always a delight, and is one of the best at his craft. The food and wine selection has always been amazing! We have tried many different menu items, and have never been disappointed! Year after year we always leave incredibly impressed with our entire experience! We don’t go just on our anniversary, but it is truly a special night when we do!

We went with a party of 5 and a baby. High chairs were available, we arrived early as most negative reviews revolved around wait times. The server knew her stuff and my wife and cousin loved the recommended red wine. My dad loved the shrimp scampi, my pasta with clams was one of the better versions I’ve had of the dish. My wife loved the penne alla vodka. The food was fresh, everything including pasta and sauces was made from scratch. The clam chowder was just ok flavor wise but the consistency was perfect which is half the battle. A pretty expensive place but for legitimate from scratch Italian what do you expect especially on the cape. Would 100% go here again to try some of the fish and other items. My only complaint was the app they use is confusing and says you can cancel with 30 mins advance. The restaurant policy is you can only cancel 48 hours out otherwise it’s a 50 per head fee. We almost had to cancel because half the group was stuck on cape traffic and we can’t usually do late dinners because of the baby. The app should be more clear that this restaurant has its own policy for cancellation times.

As a restraunt manager, and someone who has worked in the industry since I was 16, this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. My whole entire family feels the same way. Villagio Prime is one of the best fine dining venues on the cape. Our server Tim alone made the evening spectacular. I have never met someone so on top of their game. Every recommendation was spot on. His whit and humor had all of us laughing. Top sever in the state of Massachusetts. Now let’s get to the food. Appetizers of calamari, clams casino, and pork belly set the tone for a perfect meal. For entree’s I had the seafood Zingarella. A dish marinated in sambuca. Highly recommend. The rest of the table got panchetta scallops, shrimp scampi, and my mother wouldn’t shut up about the macadamia salmon. Most plates were wiped clean. If I had to refer a friend for a celebratory meal, Villagio Prime is my only choice. Best Mother’s Day dinner ever.
