5 /5 Matthew Strother: Villa Ballanca is an exceptional local staple. Italian food has a special place in my heart, and this establishment does not disappoint. This is a family friendly restaurant that welcomes you the moment you walk through the door. If you keep an open ear, you may just hear some of the wonderful staff speaking Italian. Their food is fantastic, and some of the flavors are out of this world. Their alfredo sauce is some of the best I’ve ever had, the fresh bread is warm and delicious, the wedding soup top notch, and the house salads are crisp and vibrant. I’ve been here several times and I am working my way through the large menu. It’s all worth trying. Service is excellent, well staffed, and very tentative. Employees are efficient, polite, and accommodating. Atmosphere is welcoming, think Sunday family dinner vibes. Bring your family, enjoy a conversation, laugh a little, and stuff your bellies with some scrumptious food. It is with great pleasure that I absolutely recommend planning some time to make a visit. You will not leave disappointed or hungry.
