Come to Villaggio Italian Bistro, where you are treated like family. Joseph Loccisano was born and raised in Queens, New York. As a first-generation American growing up in an Italian household, close family and great food was everything. From wiping tables as a busboy at 13 to waiting on customers as a teenager, the restaurant industry became a part of his life as an adult.
Combining his Calabrese and Neapolitan roots, love for food, and business expertise, Villaggio Restaurant was born. Opening its doors in , Villaggio Restaurant has been an ever-growing success and continues to give its loyal customers the best quality Italian food.
Joseph and his team have made their motto "Come to Villaggio, where you're treated like family" a reality for the countless amount of people that keep coming back. He loves to cook, meet new people, and most importantly make his customers laugh.
What was dinner like growing up as one of five children in an Italian household? And definitely loud. My mother would always make delicious dinners and tons of food so no one went hungry. Dinner was the same time every night-- you knew even if you were playing outside that at PM, all five of us would run home to eat dinner all together.
When did you first realize you wanted to open a restaurant? I always had a passion for good Italian cuisine and I wanted to introduce it into my neighborhood.
Where did the name "Villaggio" come from? What is your favorite dish served at Villaggio? My go-to comfort food is a chicken parmigiana with a side of pasta. It's savory and the melted cheese over tender chicken is always delicious. If I'm looking for a lighter meal, the traditional and authentic brick oven pizza is incredible--the crust is perfect. My personal favorite is the seafood pizza; amazing! Any future plans for the restaurant? We are always looking to improve and set new goals for ourselves.
For starters, my website is something I have been perfecting. It's not your average restaurant website. Every meal is homemade to order. Hot and fresh ready to enjoy. Villaggio has delicious homemade Italian dishes served in a family friendly and delightful restaurant! They have a great customer service! They also serve a variety of tasty daylight donuts in the morning! Dining at Villaggio is a wonderful experience!
The food was great. Small dine area but they have carry out which helps. I would definitely recommend this place to try, especially the chicken alfredo. You have to want to go here to find it but the search is worth the trip.
