Villaggio Prime Bar and Grille

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.

- Food: They are known for Italian dishes and Steaks (hence the Prime). Tried the Filet Mignon, 8oz. Very tasty. It had almost a smoked flavor to it. All dishes seem to be crafted with detail
- Drinks: Extensive drink menu including wines, beers, and cocktails
- Atmosphere: Intimate setting. You will be close to others so it can be a bit awkward, but it is a nice setting.

Excellent, friendly staff, 5 Star food preparation, presentation , & Taste was off the Hook, Recommend to All !!
We had the Salmon Macademia, & the Chicken Parmagiana w/ side of pasta & Bolognese sauce. Desserts were Amazing, Tiramasu etc.

We had a very nice time and enjoyed the food. Very large portions and love that we have leftovers. I think it being the end of the busy season and coming right at the start of dinner with 2 kids threw them off just a tad, but I look forward to trying this place again. Everyone enjoyed the food and it was very good Italian cuisine. Thank you to Emily for great service and patience with the little ones!

We had a lovely late night dinner (around 9:20pm) last night. The woman who sat us was super nice and our waiter (Tim) was awesome. We started with their pork belly bites and they were unbelievable, our favorite appetizer so far. Will definitely be getting those again. For our mains we had the New York sirloin and the salmon. Both presented beautifully and tasted outstanding. Now let me tell you about the sides… the white Tuscan beans are a must - I get these every time and they are delicious. Mashed potatoes - delicious as well and they go great with any steak. Au gratin potatoes - my boyfriends favorite side, super tasty. Risotto - amazing. Then we got a piece of their tiramisu to go and ate it later that night - so good! Aside from last night, we usually order take out from here relatively often, and we have never been disappointed. Their filet mignon is out of this world, the taste is so unique and it melts in your mouth. Cooked medium rare to perfection every time. Compliments to the chef on the incredible food here. And the staff who is always friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately I don’t remember her name but the girl who usually greets me for take-out orders is so sweet and remembers us whenever we order. Thanks for being a reliable restaurant with phenomenal food and service!
Best,
Ashley

I never expected an Italian restaurant to have such an incredible steak! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked…..totally impressed. The service at the bar was also on point! We’ve been happy with this restaurant in general but tonight was exceptionally great!

The atmosphere is rustic and very welcoming. It’s a cool mix of Italian and Old Cape Cod theme. The food was delicious. My girlfriend and I shared a chicken appetizer and we both loved it. I got the a spicy spaghetti and it was extremely good. I will definitely come back here. I highly recommend

Unique experience! If you are looking to have a fantastic meal and also enjoying a great atmosphere this is your place. Best steak I ever had on the Cape in a long time...

Amazing experience here. Best Italian food I've ever had. Such amazing service and it was well worth the money. Tim helped make the experience wonderful.

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 went back for the second time last night and it was just as good the second time. Everything I had was the best, such amazing flavor in every item. Crab cakes are a must and the all pasta dishes are amazing! Amazing environment and amazing service!

This place was one of the only places open for Thanksgiving. We were on a trip so we had to go out. Our reservation was respected in a timely manner. Our server was amazing, even though he was clearly quite busy. Drinks and food came put within a fairly average expectation. Highly advise you get the pork belly app! And the cowboy ribeye was out of this world. Prices are on the higher end but you definitely get what you pay for here! Will definitely return and recommend!

I had the veal parmesean, it was delicious. All the different ingredients were good- the sauce, the breading, the cheese, the veal. Would definitely recommend.

Couldn’t say more amazing things about this restaurant! Between the food, the hospitality, the intimate setting - just.. chef’s kiss. Speaking of chef, Jay, the chef and owner, was extremely accommodating for our large party of 7 including a baby - who didn’t need to be removed from the restaurant at all. The food was absolutely phenomenal. We tried just about everything and absolutely not a single complaint. Our server Tim, was truly exceptional. Not only was he extremely attentive, but he ensured that we were well taken care of even as the restaurant continued to fill and his attention had to be split. We are very, very thankful to have such a wonderful experience here and look forward to coming back as soon as we can. Thank you Jay, Tim, and anyone else who contributed to our wonderful dinner.

OMG I'm so glad we decided to stop at the Villaggio for dinner! Cosy, intimate rooms, exceptional and friendly staff, and exquisitely prepared Italian dishes. I used to travel to Rome, Italy quite often for years and this brought back memories. If you're in the area and hungry, you won't be disappointed. You'll be leaving very full and saying moltobene!! Treat your significant other and your taste buds to a wonderful Italian meal. Ciao!

Came in tonight for my 21st birthday with my family and friends. Tim was our server and he made our night 10x more fun and special. He made sure every plate I got had a candle on it and took the time to chat with us and share parts of his life in conversation. Not only is the food the best you can get, the service is absolutely unbelievable. Tim, thank you again for making tonight so fun and special!

My spouse with two other couples had dinner at Villaggio Prime Bar and Grille yesterday after a theater matinee. This was our first meal at Villaggio Prime Bar and Grille and it was truly exceptional. Each couple are from different parts of the country but now living on the Cape. We had been looking for a good Italian place close by for some time and we think we have found it. All the couples had one Italian American in the mix and we happily make our own Italian food at home. However Chef Jay’s recipes with his son Chef Anthony in the kitchen produced exceptional and innovative recipes like the Bourbon Meatballs with Gnocchi and pork belly appetizers that we all shared. As well as outstanding examples of more traditional dishes, we had the Rollatini and fried calamari appetizers for the family. For dinner we all loved our choices but my wife and I had the Italian Passion for two (generous portions of chicken, veal and eggplant parmesan) with choice of a variety of pastas or vegetables. The portions are beyond generous, we have leftovers for days and the preparation is as innovative as it is implacable. Chef Jay was in the dining room making sure everything was perfect and it certainly showed. We will definitely be back and for a couple of Italian Americans used to eating on Arthur Avenue that is saying a lot but what we really want to say is Thank You Chef Jay, Chef Anthony, Rose (our server) and the whole team for a fabulous dinner out. Maybe next time we will save room for dessert!

Great food and ambiance. Server did her job wonderfully, but the kitchen must have been overwhelmed, because the meal was very slow to arrive.

Best salmon I've ever had! Excellent staff, beautiful home and large bar.

Was greeted by owner at door. Food was excellent. They didn’t rush us at all. Serving portions were enough for 2 meals. Waitress was knowledgeable and very helpful with wine suggestions as well as best pasta choice with meal. It was a bit pricey but a nice special occasion place to dine.
