Villa Palma Ristorante

This restaurant is a hidden gem . It is beautiful inside , the ceiling is elegant . This is an authentic Italian restaurant and the service is phenomenal. Everyone is extremely friendly and outgoing. We really enjoyed eating here. Our server Joey was a delight and added to our pleasant experience !

Woooo weeee probably the most authentic Italian food you will have in the area. From the ingredients to your belly, there is absolutely no doubt you are going to leave this restaurant thinking and craving moments later for more. You never want it to end. EVERYTHING IS FRESH. The sauce is homemade, the pasta from scratch, the meat and seafood FRESH…my mouth is watering right now 🤤 we enjoyed the servers - their sense of humor, knowledge of the menu, and willing to teach us some Italian 😉 The atmosphere is intimate. My boyfriend took me here my first time for a date, other times with friends and we always enjoy ourselves. This is a hidden gem. Important to make a reservation especially on the weekend. And if you’re not too full remember to ask for some sauce to go. You will not regret it.

Just ate here. Excellent! Had lobster ravioli and angel hair bolognese. The garlic/olive oil/Parmesan dip with the bread is worth the trip. It’s a strip mall so it’s not fancy but the service was good and the food very good!

Our evening there was perfect. I was a little worried about not having a reservation, but the young lady hosting found us a spot. We had a great bottle of wine, their amazing beard. My husband had Veal, and I had Chicken Marcela, soooo good. But can I tell you about the dessert? OMG, I am not a dessert person, but WOW! So Amazing! Joey was a great waiter and his instruction on reheating the bread was perfect. We ended the night meeting the nicest couple that are regulars there, I believe they said 25 years they have been going there. That says it all. Thanks for a great night, and we'll be back soon!

October 2023. Food still amazing. Chicken Parm as delicious as before, bolognese was scrumptious. We were celebrating birthdays and were surprised with amazing cannoli and tiramisu.

November, 2021. Adding to my review. One year later food was as delicious as it was the first time. Chicken parm thin and crispy again and the blackened shrimp and scallop fettuccine was rich and scrumptious. Stay tuned for more pictures - we will be back for this guilty pleasure!

November, 2020 Adding to my review below, we had dinner here again. The chicken parm - chicken was pounded thin and crispy with rich a rich tomato sauce and Shrimp Gnocchi Ala Vodka - oh my - so very rich and yummy.

When we walked into the low warm lighting with the high booths, Italian vignettes on the walls, and white linen table cloths, I felt like We were in a Soprano episode. Service was great and it is obvious after being open over 30 years they take great care of the place. We stared with the warm baked bread with a delish dipping oil and Parmesan cheese then onto our house salads with home made balsamic dressing (fantastic) and crumbles of Gorgonzola cheese. For our main course, my husband had Angel Hair with Bolognese Sauce and I had the shrimp and scallop piccata over Angel Hair. The portions are not large but certainly enough for a meal (nothing to take home for leftovers). Bolognese was delicious and my husband said he would definitely get again. Mine was light, not too rich or overly lemon flavor, although I do think it could have had a bit more lemon taste and the scallops (wish I had more than 2) and shrimp (5) were really good. After all of that and a bottle of wine, no room left for deserts but they looked yummy. Sorry the pics are not better, difficult to take good ones in the low light.

A delightful hidden gem! My husband and I had a date night here after spending the day at the beach. It was the perfect atmosphere! The service was impeccable and we were treated with friendly hospitality. Michelle took care of us and she was so kind. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the dessert. If we visit Melbourne again, we’re definitely going back!

Had the Fettuccine Alfredo with added chicken, and my boyfriend the Shrimp Gnocchi. Delicious. Sweet staff, amazing food, and great service. I definitely recommend for good Italian food!

The service was excellent as was every item we ordered. The olive oil mix they bring with the bread was amazing. The bread was also fresh and warm. We ordered a wonderful bottle of Amarone that was very reasonably priced. Amazing service was provided by Michele so be sure to request her. I recommend reservations as they fill up and they do honor reservations as a couple of groups were waiting when we arrived and we were seated first. Great place if your in town.

Our recent dinner there was impeccable! Don't forget to make a reservation! You won't get in...
Had the Grouper Florentine special and Steak Pizziaola. Delicious. Service was on point as well.

This food is the Best Italian food you'll find anywhere in brevard County hands down. Along with great service and a warm real family style setting. Faithfully theirs now.

I've traveled to Italy but never expected to find an Italian gem next to an all-American hardware store! Yet Villa Palma's humble outside is in stark contrast to the exquisite cuisine offered inside. Fresh fish, homemade EVERYTHING adorns this traditional yet surprising menu. Eight of us were all in agreement that THIS was a place to return to. From succulent calamari to the creamy tiramisu and cappuccinos with sugar sticks - I felt so happy and lucky to have experienced Villa Palma with family and friends!

This place is a Diamond in the rough. Great service and food. Incredible
Ambiance and congenial waiters. Beer and wine only. Hope they get a liquor license. Will definitely be back.

I live in in New Jersey area with Italian restaurants close to my house in Philadelphia which are superb. This place is equally as good as all the Italian restaurants I've eaten in in Philadelphia and New York. The homemade stracciatella soup is made to order. The best I've ever eaten

I proceeded to tell my sister about this restaurant when I realized that I forgot to leave a review!

My husband, my nephew and I visited Villa Parma on Labor Day after spending hours at the beach. We couldn't be more happy that we stumbled upon this place. We were seated right away and our wonderful server, Sherry, was warm, inviting and attentive throughout the meal. When I told her that we were visiting from NJ we were shocked to learn that she was actually born in the hospital where I'm currently part of the medical staff! The food was some of the best we've ever had (and being New Yorkers that says a lot!) I enjoyed my veal parm, my go to staple, and my husband and nephew enjoyed theirs as well. My husband does not eat dairy so he requested no cheese and to our pleasant surprise his pasta came WITHOUT grated cheese! We even ordered an extra meal to go for my mother.

Whenever you're in the Melbourne area, do yourself a favor and visit this unassuming yet delicious Italian restaurant.

Love the food but the water does taste bad. It would make you drink wine, it's so bad. They did also cut back on sald.

This is a great place for a nice dinner. Make sure you make reservations. The food is fantastic.

Phenomenal Italian Restaurant!! Coming from New York there are certain expectations, nothing disappoints!! Food, bread and atmosphere all wonderful! Don't think we will find a better place to enjoy Italian food!!

The atmosphere of this place is amazing with all the personal touches. We come here every year on vacation. We especially love that each table gets its own bowl of freshly shredded cheese and wonderful fresh bread. Highly recommend

Delicious food and a beautifully decorated restaurant. A little pricey but worth it for the food you get! I had eggplant rollatini. Delicious and sharp marinara. Add a salad to your meal for sure. The veggies are so fresh and crispy :)

I love your chicken alfredo. Your salad is so delicious and the dressing is um um good. The presentation of your food is lovely.
