Had the the Shrimp Bada Bing which was great. The Cavatelli Arrabbiata was excellent. Flavors were well balanced and the sausage wasn't too overpowering. Service was excellent. April was great!

Delicious food with good portion sizes (Short Rib Ragu is a must), attentive staff, and a classy environment. This is a hidden gem I would highly recommend.

Parking is tight, but decently available.

I'll keep this one simple, folks. WOW!

Trattoria Villagio is one of those rare, small-town gems. Nestled in scenic Clifton among the trees, Trattoria offers both a tasty weekend brunch (breakfast lasagna is delightful) and a fantastic dinner menu.

Whether you're looking for a seafood Diavolo, or perhaps a hearty short rib ragú, you WILL be pleased and leave pleasantly full! Their drinks are wonderfully thirst-quenching and the appetizers beautifully accompany a nice conversation. Plus, when the weather is nice, the patio is charming.

Highly recommend!

My photos don't do this place justice. I've eaten here numerous times, and it gets very BUSY, and without reservations don't even bother. My cravings got the best of me, and I ordered to go. First, there is a parking lot that fills up pretty fast, but street parking is also available. Second, the service is very good, even when busy. Third, the decor is nice and clean, like dining at an Italian countryside, with outside seating available when weather permits. Food is spot on, one of the best brick-oven pizzas in NOVA, and the grilled octopus is a MUST. Perfect place for date night!

We decided to visit Trattoria Villagio last minute to celebrate a special birthday. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to celebrate our occasion.
The food we had was very good-we started off with calamari as an appetizer and as the main course, we had the shrimp scampi and branzino. The complimentary dessert was good.
The price point was average for the food and service.

Savannah was the absolute best! We were celebrating my birthday late (by a month) and hadn't been here in quite a while. She made sure that we knew about everything that we were going to enjoy, and told us about the specials in great detail.

We started with a half dozen and another half dozen of the

We cannot wait to go back and enjoy our time with great servers like Savannah again. You can tell that this establishment takes their time selecting their employees so that everyone has the best experience.

Authentic, rustic, fresh! The food was top notch and made to order. You can never go wrong with homemade pastas and flavorful sauce. We were seated within 5 minutes of our reservation and our waitress was prompt and offered strong suggestions. The restaurant was filled with people eating and laughing truly enjoying their selves and that's the vibe you want when dining out. Loves its quaint atmosphere and the menu was not overwhelming with options. Being from out of the state I can't wait to comeback just to visit this gem!

4.5/5

My recent visit to Trattoria Villagio with a group of friends left us all thoroughly impressed. Embracing the essence of Italian cuisine, we indulged in a feast that included classic dishes like spaghetti carbonara, shrimp badda bing, and tagliatelle bolognese. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, perfectly capturing the richness and authenticity of Italian cooking. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were crafted with care, delivering a culinary experience that exceeded our expectations.

What truly elevated our dining experience was the impeccable service we received throughout the evening. The staff at Trattoria Villagio were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. From offering recommendations to promptly fulfilling our requests, their hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. Overall, Trattoria Villagio offers a remarkable blend of delicious Italian fare and exceptional service, making it a must-visit destination for any lover of Italian cuisine.

We went without reservations and we're still seated immediately. The staff is so friendly and attentive! The dining room is pretty closely tabled, and it was very full for a Tuesday night. Still we enjoyed it. Adrian, our water, was so nice.

My friend had the lamb and I had the linguini carbonara. Both were very good. A nice glass of cab and her Pinot noir worked well with the dishes. She ordered a torte for dessert. I was too full and I had half my meal for leftovers to take home! Enjoyed them as a side for the next couple days.

I do recommend this spot. Enjoy! Cin cin!

I came to this restaurant with a friend after seeing it on social media.

Food: For starters, we ordered the arancini. For the main, I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka and my friend ordered the cavatelli arrabbiata w/o the spicy itallian sausage. For dessert, we ordered the Tiramisu French toast.

The arancini and both pastas were absolutely amazing - very flavorful and tasty. The Tiramisu French toast was out of this world. Just on the first spoonful, a bomb of flavors exploded in my mouth. I felt the richness of the espresso, creaminess of the chocolate, and subtle crunchiness of the toast all at the same time.

Service: Our server was absolutely wonderful, and suggested items based on our vegetarian preferences. He made sure to instruct the chef not to use the bolognese sauce in the arancini, but despite his efforts, the chef did end up using it. After eating 2/4 pieces of arancini, we noticed that there were beef pieces in the sauce and were extremely disappointed.

Our server sincerely apologized, and was quick to resolve the matter by letting the chef know, taking the arancini off of our tab, and giving us an additional vegetarian order of arancini on the house.

Ambiance: We went to this restaurant with the intention of sitting in the outdoors area, and it did not disappoint! We definitely felt like we were in Italy and it was a spectacular vibe.

Despite the inconvenience with the arancini, we definitely had a great experience dining here.
