Avoid This Place - Extremely Rude Owners – When I finished with the last item of a phoned in order, the gentleman I was speaking with (who I now understand to be Tony Jr.) said thank you and hung up...before giving me the total or a chance to ask for the total. I called right back less than 45 seconds later to get the total, and the same gentleman I had been speaking with a minute earlier answered. I was then treated rudely and told never to call or order from them again. Their food may be good, their customer service leaves... read more

New Yorker Opinon – I have recently moved to San Francisco from NYC to further my culinary school. I went to eat with my girlfriend, and between the two of us had a $100 bill. The wine list is miserable and terribly overpriced. We shared an app, each had an entree, and one bottle of wine. I have no issues paying this money for food worth eatting, but it was not. Blame me for one thing I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs (veal ravioli was sold out) because nothing else seemed appetizing. Who orders this at a restaurant for ... read more

Exceptional Italian!!! – We too saw the commercial on TV and were very excited and intrigued by the fact that Villa Romana is a family run restaurant. You'll actually see Tony Sr. Tossing the authentic pizzas and Tony Jr. managing his dining room...although Tony the IIIrd must have been home taking his nap because he was not present...too bad what a cute baby!!! The service was very good although the place was packed...I guess the TV commercial really got these guys some exposure. However, I'm told by Tony Jr. that he will b... read more

TERRIBLE – We saw their tv commercial the the great special was " salad or pasta and any entree plus a glass of wine ", for $20 a person. We had some waiter that obviously was'nt thrilled about his Monday night. Once he heard we wanted the special, he seemed to be put off and rude to us. In a place like Villa Romana, $20 a person should make a waiter feel good about his check average. Later we found out that we had to share a salad OR soup and A entree for $40 total. Two people sharing one entree and one salad for $40 ? REAL... read more

The Bomb! – This place is the bomb! What can i tell you. The Service was perfect. The Food was great. They also have this deal for $20/person where they'll throw all kinds of great Italian food, wine, dessert etc. at you until your completely stuffed. My girlfriend and me could hardly move after the dinner. And the food reminded me of my mom's food growing up. The old man making the pizza was also very cool. i guess he's the owner. He kept a huge grin on his face as he was throwing up pizzas in the air all night. The manager... read more

Truly a great Family Deal – Villa Romana is truly a family restaurant. From the family members working to the employees who have been there for so many years (some for over 25 years), it is a real family style dinner house....just like I remembered growing up back east. Another big positive about the restaurant, was there 50th Anniversary family dinner they're doing sundays through thursdays. For $20 bucks you and a date get an appetizer, a salad, a dinner, a glass of vino, and dessert and coffee all served in huge family st... read more

first and last visit – i have tried almost every restaurant on irving and around ninth and villa romana has got to be the WORST! not only was the service awful but the food was not of good quality. Don't be fooled by the "family style' special either. the portions are for 1 person even though most people dine w. another person or more. that is where they get you. our waiter decides to say "we need to agree on what to order" confused us by including himself in the phrase. he was so rude and awkward that he decided to leave ev... read more

Vino Veritas Says "Delizioso!!!" – I think that somes it up: Delizioso. The marinara sauce which makes or breaks a top Italian restaurant was excellent. The seafood was fresh and prepared delicately. Their antipasto mare was great: marinated calamari, clams, oysters, mussels, and prawns drizzled with olive oil and fresh garlic and lemon. Their pizza bianca was given to us immediately as we sat down: thin pizza with no sauce, just mozzarella, parmesan, oregano, basil, and greek olives. Delizioso! The service and bar drinks we... read more

Authentic Italian...Good Service To Boot! – My date and I were stroling down to Irving St. from UCSF Med Center and were fascinated by the old neon sign that said "Villa Romana". So, we decided on a whim to give it a try, not just because of the very charming neon sign, but, also because we saw their very cute commercial that features the three Tony's; Tony Sr., the owner, and his son and grandson. Well, before I keep rambling on, I want to mention how great the food was and how very attentive and entertaining the service wa... read more
