Villa Vinci in Cookstown

Good food quick friendly service 👌

Fantastic music playlist only bettered by the food. I had a penne porchini like none I've ever eaten. The sauce was amazing, the penne al dente and I'm a regular Italy holidaymaker. As for the music, if you like The Kinks , Johnny Cash and The Beatles you'll have a good time. Beer selection limited but irrelevant.

Very nice meal, good service, really nice restaurant.

Easily the best Italian food I've had in Northern Ireland since I returned from America. My particular favourites are the Alfredo and Carbonara, my wife loves their Lasagne and the kids loved the Bolognese. Great food, great service.

We dropped in as we were passing and found a gem. Great food, good service, lovely place.

Perfect place for a dinner in Cookstown. Great quality

We travelled from County Fermanagh, to eat here on the recommendation of friends.we definitely were not disappointed, we started off with a starter each, have to say they were absolutely amazing, I would definitely recommend the Gamberoni, it was so filling.for mains I had Aperto Bistecca Panini, my wife had Duck Pastille. The plates were overflowing, so much so my wife brought half of her dish home. And of course I had to try the Tiramisu wow never tasted anything like it before. It was so reasonably priced. Staff were very polite and professional. Will definitely be coming back.

caveat emptor. Went in to check the place out to take friends there later. Place was empty except for 3 people at one table. Staff member rude and appeared to be on drugs or otherwise completely untrained on how to deal with customers. Tried to order a coffee, which was initially refused, then permitted, but then refused again. I just got up and left, as Cookstown has many fine places to eat where the staff are vetted and trained in service, and food is exemplary, so why settle for a little jumped up nowhere. I would not recommend a place that thinks it is something that it is not. "Italian Restaurant" indeed. Arrogance and poor manners does not an Italian restaurant make. Caveat emptor.

Excellent standard of pizza and a great value children’s deal as well. Friendly helpful staff. Justly popular . Definitely come again next time we in Cookstown

Overall a nice place to eat, staff is friendly and food is very good worth the price. The only down i have to point out in case no one did before is the womens toilet locker doesnt function properly and when i told the staff after being locked and having to call my partner to open it for me i was disregarded and told i just had to be gentle with the locker. As if someone has instructions on how to open a new door after being locked, it should be replaced to avoid a future problem. Otherwise toilet conditions were ok.

Hands down the Best Pizza and Pasta in cookstown and Dungannon in my opinion Proper Wood fired Italian pizza and so reasonably priced. Lovely attentive Staff too. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was lovely I had a pizza and my partner had the burger both was lovely very friendly staff and chill atmosphere would definitely come back! The spicy BBQ dip is something else give it a try we even got an extra tub to take home

Delicious sea bass and spaghetti - perfectly seasoned. Very generous dessert portions too!

Lovely place. Really good adaptations to the menu. Big portions They were fully booked but still got our food out in good time

Very nice my first time in and it won't be my last. Food was beautiful we had a starter and main was filled up at end was really happy with the quality of the food. Usually when up that way go to Portstewart and visit amecias which was my favourite but now villa vinci is and less travel. I truly recommend.

One of our favourite restaurant's in Northern Ireland and top of the list in Mid-Ulster !! Menu , Service & Food is excellent . Great for both casual dinning or special nights out. (They also offer food to go ). Love the seating , especially when it's really busy tables full of people enjoying their evening really adds to the atmosphere. 10/10

Disgraceful was not allowed to have just a drink of cola when we could not find what we liked on the menu and was treated Disgraceful will never go back

Lovely feed as always and great service 👌👌👍👍

Two couples visited on a busy Saturday night. The service was excellent friendly and attentive. Range of choice very good. Served in good time. Great food Well priced

Please do yourself a favour & have a meal at this “Mediterranean” (aka Italian) restaurant. The staff are friendly & knowledgeable & the menu has something for everyone. My husband had the steak & I had a pasta. Both were excellent. The steak was juicy & cooked to perfection. My pasta with added fresh chilli was spoton for my tastes. Our waitress, Burkla (is that correct? Sorry) was wonderful. It was a great experience & perhaps the best meal we have had in a while. Well done :)

We are visiting Cookstown and found this restaurant and thought we would give it a try and I am really glad we did! We walked in (without booking) and got sat down at a table, furniture was moved so we could fit in our pram at our table. All staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was fab and we boxed some up to take home. A lovely meal for not a bad price, happy and full, thank you.

My husband & had a beautiful meal in Villa Vinci this evening & i would highly recommend. I had the garlic dough balls & then pasta with steak & peppers & my husband had bruschetta & baked chicken pasta all our food was very tasty & the service is great. The staff are so friendly & attentive & I would highly recommend this restaurant.

5 star treatment from Niall & all his staff from we entered unto we left, the food was cooked to perfection. Villa Vinci is a must try for everyone and very affordable.

Excellent little restaurant, the staff was very friendly, attentive and service was good. Food was superb and the portion size was very good. Definitely worth a visit and recommend booking as to there is limited space.

Very very poor experience as soon as we entered the door the man who met us manager??? Needs to go to a good restaurant and learn his trade on how to greet paying guests. They don't open the wine if you buy a bottle because the wee girls serving also haven't been properly trained. The starters were cold and served with a gastly tomatoe sauce. The main meal Italian ha ha wasn't eaten by me and mouthfuls only by my guest. Most dreadful and expensive experience. Spoilt what should have been a lovely night. The next day I was very ill as I had prawns. The hospitality industry needs customers like me I won't ever be back and would advice others to be more discerning where they eat. One more thing this resturant is by no stretch of the imagination Italian.

Fine food but Niall’s personality or lack off is a real pitty.

Ich wollte zu Abend essen und bestellte mir eine Suppe, eine Pizza, ein Glas Primitivo und eine kleine Flasche Wasser. Ich bekam eine aufgewärmte Suppe mit Mehlpampe drin, eine durchgeweichte Pizza die noch halbwegs Geschmack hatte. Dazu megaagressive Musik. Meine Bitte die Musik leiser zu machen wurde mit einem echt blöden Lachen quitiert. Ich konnte nicht Essen, so schlimm war das. Habe 28 Pfund bezahlt und bin gegangen, Wein und Wsser unberührt stehen gelassen. Suppe nur probiert, Pizza ein viertel gegessen. Schade das der Chef nicht da war, den kenn ich seit Jahren. Der hätte das in seinem Laden nicht zugelassen.

Four of us went for an evening meal. The staff were welcoming and attentive without being intrusive so friendly and willing to please. and were anxious to accommodate any requests. The food was superb and reasonably priced. and we had a lovely evening - highly recommended. Couldn't have wanted for more and will certainly visit again.

Really good food, lovely welcoming staff

Exellent service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . Staff was really friendly and accommodating . Food was deeelicious! Can't wait to go back 🤤

Love everything about Villa Vinci. From the moment you walk in the door you’re greeted with a warm welcome, servers are friendly and get your food out quick. Food is delicious, affordable and a great variety to choose from on the menu. They cater well for the little ones and even gave our wee girl an Easter treat. The ambiance is great. Music, temperature and lighting all spot on. Great job guys. We will be back again soon.

From the very warm welcome when we walked through the door, to swift friendly service throughout - I honestly could not speak more highly of our experience. We are a family of 6, with 4 kids aged 6-13 and each one of us thoroughly had a super evening. The food was excellent, with my teenage daughter commenting that the garlic bread was the best she has ever had! I tweaked my pasta dish - adding chicken and more chilli - not a problem - and the result was delicious. Popper burger also came with a massive thumbs up. Thank you to Niall and team - we will see you soon!

The staff asked if we had a reservation but never even said hello. We ordered dinner and it didn’t take to long bit when it did come my husband never got any. They said he would have to wait because they missed his. When his eventually came it didn’t even come with an apology. And he received it when we had all finished ours. After dinner we asked for the dessert menu which never came so had to ask after 20 mins again. No apology. Not once were we ever asked if we wanted another drink or if everything was fine ok. We paid and left with not one even saying goodbye. The manners we extremely horrendous, few and far between. Definitely won’t be back!!!

Amazing, the best restaurant in cookstown of 2021 and into 2022! I’ve ate in cookstown for years, and I can safely say Villa Vinci is the best thing to come here in a long time, and maybe ever. Having lived in a few cities around the globe, the quality of this Italian would not be out of place in London etc. The owner is an absolute gentleman and very friendly, and all servers are very hospitable. The restaurant is a perfect size and has a lovely ambience, can be bother romantic for couples and good for large families and groups. The prices are reasonable and the food is top drawer. Villa Vinci keep doing what you’re doing in 2022 and you’ll be fine. Anytime I drive past there are people in regardless of it being weekday or weekend, great sign! We love this place and will continue to visit. The wines and drinks on offer are amazing, top it all off with one of their signature desserts.

It's awful being asked for a covid Cert before you enter a restaurant. The owner was sharp and severe and that's what put us off. Its like you are in fected before you come in the door. No I won't be returning, it's a joke at this stage. My son's burger was burnt to a crisp, he diddnt eat it!! Food for myself and husband was just mediocre. If the proprietor had a more welcoming demeanour then we just might consider going back. You shouldn't be made feel like a criminal for going out to dinner. No we will not be back to Villa Vinci and God help the rest of the restaurants that depend on customers from over the border. Regards.

We really enjoyed our meal here. Service was excellent and matched pace with our eating making the experience a really enjoyable and relaxing one.

Great food and service. Offer great gluten free options X

quality produce, great flavours 😀

Had our second carry out dinner from here. The first was in the first lockdown which was terrible and thought we would give it another go this lockdown as we are local and like to support small local businesses. It was still terrible. So so disappointed! Steak was over cooked. Pizza was dry and tasted of nothing ( perhaps resembled cardboard) and pasta order was wrong! Tagliatelle has become penne and full of mushrooms which I am allergic to :( Chips were not as described “hand cut” they are a vacuum packed skins-on skinny fries. As I said before so so disappointed. Cookstown is terrible in general for take away food which is such a shame. Now the restaurants. There seems to be no chefs just cooks using cash n carry produce and trying to make the most of it. Local businesses who want to keep their local customers need to step up, take pride and give us the quality we pay for. Our £40 is hard earned so we want to enjoy it.

Always great food and friendly service.

Due to the entire hospitality sector being closed here, Villa Vinci is offering takeaway only.We are familiar with this restaurant as regular diners there.We enjoyed three takeaway pizzas, they really were a step above the usual local pizza places (some of which are excellent).Highly recommended.

A friend and I ate here last Saturday night and it was lovely. Pasta was absolutely gorgeous and social distancing was in place as well which put us at ease. Lovely window seat view of Cookstown Main Street too. Food was lovely and very reasonably priced, and the manager had a laugh with us at the end which was nice. Will definitely be back with the family!

The service was absolutely class, especially considering COVID-19 rules in place causing more pressure on workers. Highly recommend for a nice meal out with anyone at all.

Villa Vinci is amazing sitting in or taking out. The Food is so Flavoursome and the Pizza just leaves u wanting more of this fabulous Restaurant.

This is a regular haunt for my beautiful bride and me. I have previously reviewed. Now reopened with Covid restrictions. Still very enjoyable with a refreshed menu but the same high quality service.

Every time we are staying in Cookstown, we ensure to eat at this lovely restaurant and really enjoy their pasta dishes. While the venue can be a bit cold, the food definitely is not! We highly recommend visiting and trying their food, especially the pasta dishes

The food we had on a recent visit to the restaurant was really pretty good all in all, clean plates attested to that. While the food was hot and tasty, service warm and welcoming the restaurant itself was a on the cool side.

Having dined here tonight I'd say the food was tasty. There is a reasonable selection of dishes and an early bird menu. Food was well presented and service was efficient. It's a decent place to eat but I'm not sure id go if it was a special occasion. The restaurant had a few other diners , partly because there are not many other places open locally on a tuesday night , or at least thats what I'm told.It was chilly outside and the restaurant was chilly too. Some people at other tables kept their coats on. All in I'd say it's nice enough with friendly staff.Prices are pretty reasonable too.

We visited Villa Vinci on a Thursday night to celebrate my birthday. We wanted to try some where different in town. The menu was very good, plenty of choice. I had heard the steak sandwich was nice so I went for it and wasn’t disappointed. The chips are really good. Good sized portions. The staff were lovely. The only critic I have is I would have liked to have seen an early bird menu or deal for a week night. I will defiantly be back to visit again.

I was recently here for a family meal over Christmas. Like the few other times I've been here the food was exceptional. Excellent service also, the girls couldn't do enough for us.The price is very reasonable and portion sizes are 100%. Looking forward to my next visit.

Service was excellent, staff friendly, well priced. Food was mediocre at best, daughter salad was laced with so much oil, lettuce wilted, my chicken was dry and overcooked. However, hubbys steak was perfect. So inconsistent quality. Limited wind choices by the glass.

If you fancy Italian food, pasta or pizza etc, Villa Vinci is worth a visit. The food is lovely, the staff are friendly and there's a nice feel to the place. The menu is wide enough to suit most palettes.

Love this please been in a few times with the family and gee not much wrong with the food . Staff is so helpful

I had carbonara with garlic bread and my daughter had spaghetti bolognase and both meals were lovely and filling, will definitely be back for more 😊

The reviews looked good so decided to try this restaurant. The restaurant looked very good but the bench seats could do with some TLC. Staff was friendly and attentive to our requirements. Food was quick service and the food was excellent. Definitely worth a visit

got a take away carbonara, was fantastic got a take away and quick turn around as was rushing home after work will visit again

First class Italian restaurant in Cookstown!! Great service food is amazing waiting time is a bit long but this is justified when your meal arrives! Everything so fresh and cooked from scratch !!! Unbelievably delicious

Great meal for me and 9 colleagues. Great menu, reasonable prices.

I had an evening meal here on a Tuesday. £25 for a 3 course meal. Plenty of choice, decor was nice and the service was good. I would recommend.

Very good service and food was lovely

Nice friendly restaurant serving good Italian food. Able to handle parties. Convenient to the town, and there's free parking outside and nearby

After reading the good reviews I was keen to give Villa Vinci a whirl... very disappointed to find it closed at 21:15 when the opening hours definitely state open until 22:00... site needs updating to avoid visitors having this experience again.

With emphasis on Italian cuisine, this eatery is well worth a call.Very easily found in Cookstown and very clean throughout this restaurant offers good food, ,well served, at a reasonable price.The pasts dishes are superb and the open steak sandwich is divine. Villa Vinci is licensed as well. Service is prompt and friendly....will return without a doubt

Really enjoyed the place and service. Easily the best place in town. Too bad we found it late in our job.

Had a lovely meal here with great food and good service. This was our first visit but will be returning again next time we're in Cookstown.

Best restaurant in cookstown in my opinion!we have ate in here a few times and have never had a bad feed!the smells from the kitchen as you walk through the door is unreal! Romantic setting and great menu and fairly priced 👍🏻

Had the Popper Burger which was deliciously spicy. Service was very quick which was good as we didn't have much time.

Beautiful pasta, pizza, burgers, steaks & chefs specials. Nice clean and romantic setting but is still great for familys and friends. Kids menu there. And they also offer takeouts

Had a meal here last night with my wife parents and 14 week old. The staff were very helpful and helped rearrange the table so our car seat could be accommodated. The menu had great variety, we all really enjoyed what we had chosen to eat and the staff were very quick and helpful. Would definitely go here again.

I have visited here before, but not for a while. For starter I opted for the pureed vegetable soup. Nice. For main, I had the Penne Amatricana (Bacon, Onion, Fresh Chile, Tomato & Garlic). Absolutely beautiful, seriously good and I most definitely will be having...

Visted this evening for dinner,I had booked a table for two and i had the chilli prawn starter and the sea food pasta main. The starter was quite nice although was quite spicy, the sea food pasta was disappointing .The calamari was like rubber and...

Fantastic food and brilliant service! Such a great night spent with friends in a lovely atmosphere! Even got a lift home from the owner! What more could you ask for! Highly recommend the Steak!!! Thankyou Villa Vinci we will all be back!

We found this place by accident when we were returning back to our accomodation. The service was very prompt and pleasant and the meals were very tasty and generous. Prices were very good and the staff were very helpful. We returned the following night.

Por desgracia, pedí una hamburguesa y después de dos bocados, ya no podía comer. Fue quemado - lo suficientemente malo para degustar tan mal, o fuera. . . Yo no puedo quejarme ya mis 3 hijos estaban teniendo las mejores pizzas que he visto y mi las patatas fritas eran bastante bueno con salsa de chili dulce. Restaurante lo suficientemente bueno y suficientemente agradable, el personal y el ambiente, pero yo no volveré. . . . A menos que por una pizza.

Beautiful place to eat great service and great food

He estado allí con amigos y todo nos pareció perfecto, la comida, el vino, el servicio. . . Pastas son suculentos y el ambiente es tranquilo. Disfrutar mucho y volvería sin duda alguna.

No puedo decir lo suficiente sobre este lugar el propietario es muy agradable y te hace sentir muy cómodo! Todo su personal son los mismos de la comida es increíble lo recomendaría encarecidamente.

Me and my partner regularly go to Villa Vinci and are never disappointed! Pleasant, helpful and friendly waiting staff with absolutely amazing food. Very reasonable prices.

Over night stay in Cookstown called in to see if we could get a table what a surprise lovely meal best Italian meal I have had for a long time service great have told any one I meet about this gem locked away in Cookstown worth the journey.

I have dined here many times but had not been for a while. A friend asked me for dinner on a Tuesday evening. I went thinking the place would be empty so early in the week but how wrong I was. The place was buzzing with people. A truly good place for a meal.

We visited after reading reviews and would highly recommend. Staff are friendly and my pizza was excellent. Nice comfortable surroundings. I will return

Had dinner there tonight. Just delicious and filing. Large tasty portions. Good wine selections. Pleasent atmosphere. Would love to go there again.

Have never had a bad meal here. Even when it's busy the food is good and the service just a great.The restaurant is "cosy", might need to book in advance for large groups..

Friendly welcoming vibe and nothing disappointed. Great wine list - very reasonable, beautiful sharer starters - went for the platter and a couple of cheesy garlic breads - yum - and perfect! The prawn starter was to die for and our kids love the calamari. Everyone found something to please them on the menu - from spaghetti with meatballs, to pizza, to sea bass served with Mediterranean vege! Great place to dine for 2 or for a larger party. Kids menu excellent and very child friendly. Recommend to all! Thank you!

Ensaladas exquisitas, bacalao, pasta, pizza, lasaña... Todo lo que quieras. Mucha calidad

Called in about 5pm on Sat evening with kids. Not busy so got a table no problem.Staff very friendly and the food was great. Couldn't finish our pizzas so they were boxed up to bring home. Kids had ice cream included in their meal but we were in a rush so the waitress offered a take away ice cream. Really great gesture. Kids very impressed!Starting to get busy when we left so maybe need to book. Will definitely go again if we are in the area.

Was in villa Vinci yesterday. Have to say everything about it was 1st class from the food to the service. Would highly recommend it. We were made to feel so welcome. So warm an cosy couldn't find one fault with the place aswell as being so clean

Had a wonderful meal here pre 'Lala Land'. The best Italian food I've had in a long time, a lovely prawn starter followed by a delicious fresh salmon linguine dish. Romantic atmosphere and wonderful service. Will definitely be back!

called in on the chance of some food on a busy day for me without booking and it was Sunday at 3 pm. The place was quite busy and the staff are lovely---making us feel so welcome and nothing was too much bother to them. WE had a gorgeous hot meal wit a lot of variety on the menu. It seems to be a great pizza place and we saw a few families enjoying hot tasty pizza or so the families told us. It caters for all tastes and is so child friendly

We were travelling home on a sunday evening looking for somewhere to get a quick bite to eat. This was our 2nd choice and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Lovely staff, an extensive menu choice and good quality food. Will definitely be back

Nice looking establishment!! I little bit chilly inside actually we had to move seats because our seats at the window where to cold!! I had a steak sandwich my wife went for a house burger!! It wasn't bad nothing to exciting to be honest!! The pizza starter was nice!! I think this place is better for the pizza/pasta's!!

A group of seven of us dined here one evening in October, the food was tremendous. Some had 3 courses and we shared two bottles of very nice wine. I would definitely go back. It was very busy and is well worth a visit. The waitress was lovely.

We arranged a meal here for 4. 2 locals. One from Omagh and one from Dublin. The table was booked for 8.30 and the food was ordered. One person couldn't make it for 8.30 and arrived at approximately 8.50. When the server was asked if they could order something light the server refused service saying "kitchen closed". Won't be back thank you very much.

In questo paesino del Nord Irlanda questo ristorante è l'unico posto dove si può mangiare davvero bene.. Dalla pasta alla carne tutti i piatti sono ben cotti e di buona qualità..il proprietario è Tunisino ed ha imparato a cucinare in Italia e si vede.. Lo consiglio a tutti.

Having lived in Cookstown for the past 8 years, my family have become regular patrons of this restaurant. I have to say that the food produced is excellent, prices are reasonable and the staff are always friendly and efficient. This restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Mid Ulster.

Lovely food, lots of choice on the menu and great service! Would definitely recommend if in the area for good food in a nice restaurant

Had a lovely meal here. Service very professional. Well present meals. Good choice on the menu. Wine by the glass.

Nice ambiance. Probably the best restaurant Cookstown.Portion size is vast but the food is a good quality.Reasonable menu pasta, pizza, specials. Though high end Italian cuisine it is not. Felt very 80's in terms of Italian style but clearly the right formula for Cookstown as it was pretty busy.Wines are ok but not expensive.Prices are very good compared to the mainland. Cheap.Service was good and more importantly friendly.Overall it was a very enjoyable meal.

One of our favourite restaurants with a large range menu to suit the needs of even the most fussy of diners. Great food and ambience. Delightful as always!

Ottimo ristoranteAbbondanti i piatti deliziosi e gustosi. tanta scelta di pasta all'italiana cotta perfettamente condita con esagerazione .Servizio cordiale.
