Villagio Ristorante in Test Valley

Stopped off at Andover so as to eat at Villagio on Sunday Why are you still showing it open, wasting me time & fuel Local people said it has been closed down for ages No ****s for Trip Advisor You need to have a minus star selection

Average food only four other tables at time of visit. Total lack of customer care and satisfaction refused a cocktail with dessert because of “government rules”. Simply not interested in the owners maximising profit and sales no wonder so many restaurants are coming bust ! Not sure why when mains taken away waitress did not ask if any alcoholic drinks required- owners take note simply happier standing about hoping the customers will leave sooner than later.

Booked a table for Christmas eve, phoned them a week before to add an additional person only to be told they were longer going to be open. I was told they were going to phone and inform me, but unfortunately never got around to it.

Nice welcome, clean tables, well spaced. Very tasty food. Close to car ark that is free after 4pm. Go there regularly with family and friends .

Booked for 15th Feb, so not Valentines. Food really very good, staff attentive, checking all was ok. However we booked for 7pm, had ordered by 7.15 and felt we were rushed through our dinner and dessert as we had finished these by 7.45pm at the latest. We then seemed to be left alone for the next half an hour not asked if we wanted another drink or coffee etc so we asked for the bill and went on to another pub. Which is a shame because they were very attentive to start, wasn’t busy so not as if they were rushed off their feet. Will still go back as food was really very good.

walk past this restaurant all the time, just never thought to pop in...well what a pleasant surprise....service good even though quiet busy...food arrived hot and just what we asked for....will def go back again...made for a pleasant dinner evening out

We do eat here a lot... but on this occasion it was packed! The service though was as though we were the only ones in there! Couldn’t fault it! And the food... wow! Perfect! Really tasty!!! Thank you!

Fab food And nice stay Went there with friends, arrived about 7:30pm it was buzzing with only one waitress on the floor managing loads of tables with food and drinks etc. poor girl was running around like a headless chicken. They seriously need more staff Especially near Christmas

Popped in for a quick supper. The waiter was welcoming and, despite quickly becoming busy, gave very good service. We had an issue with one of the mains being swamped in pesto. I was insistent to pay full price as it might have been down to preference. Regardless, the bill was adjusted to reflect my disappointment. I’d highly recommend the prawns!

Very nice greeting and the waiting staff were attentive, however the seating is uncomfortable, i’m Sure customers will not be over staying there welcome. This was a birthday meal, however I was very disappointed with the wild mushroom Risotto, which appeared to be ordinary rice cooked in a stock, it was almost a rice soup as it was swimming in stock.

Calamari as a starter and pizza for main course. The food was good but was not that much and after that, I went somewhere else to end the dinner.

Visited with a friend between 7:00pm and 9:00pm on a Sunday evening. Most of the time only two tables occupied, later a third. But extremely noisy for the entire two hours. The staff were washing cutlery and glasses behind the bar area, and there was constant excessive banging and clattering of dishes and pans from the kitchen. Definitely not the place to go for a quiet meal! The family at the second table were not impressed with the constant clattering from the kitchen either. Not surprising the establishment up the road was busy but they weren’t. This was a birthday celebratory meal ruined, but I will not make this mistake again. As for the food, it was variable. I had the “rustic” pizza —- something I have had before at other Italian restaurants—- but the pizza base here was very chewy. A disappointment and not up to the standard of the other restaurants I’m used to. But the Italian bread starter was good, and my friend liked the lasagna. But eating out is not about gulping down food of variable quality in an industrial environment. We battled to get the attention of the two waiting staff chatting behind the bar so we could get our bill. Even though there were no tables left to serve. Overall, not great and too noisy to have a quality meal out. Not recommended.

Went here for a work meal, we had 17 in our group, I did ore order the meals but even so we were really looked after. The staff were very attentive ensuring we always had a drink and the food was lovely with no complaints.

Great service great food and great setting absolutely no complaints - the waitress was very helpful and the table and chairs we sat at were very comfortable

not very busy so quote relaxed atmostphere. staff were good and efficient. Had a good Lasagne and salad and a couple of glasses of wine very well cooked and sensible sized portion. Much nicer than a chain italian which are in most towns.

A fantastic little restaurant close to Oxford Brooks University. The food is cooked fresh and is authentic Italian food absolutely delicious and very well priced. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable and the staff very polite and friendly I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant.

From start to finish the night was ruined, abysmal service. Forgot our entire order and then rushed us to eat and get out. Food was mediocre, it wasn’t even busy

First time at this restaurant. Lovely welcome. It was about 6 in the evening and the sun was out so we sat outside on the cobbled courtyard out front.

1 hour wait for the bread after being told they forgot the order. This was after it took them 25 minutes to take it in the first place. Had to ask for the drinks twice! The waitress is obviously a family member as she was so useless that no one not related would ever hire her. Now I hear you say that it must have been busy to get this level of service. .. 5 tables out of the whole restaurant had people on them. Wow what incompetence! The only reason I can see the good reviews is because of the low quality elsewhere.

Excellent evening out. Very good Italian food - foccacia with the antipasto was amazing. Medium rare steak was perfect. Good-sized portions. Prompt service w/o being rushed. Very happy to find something of this quality.

We had a fabulous meal here on 19/5/2018. The Calamari and Chicken Wings were hot, fresh and cooked to perfection. Hubby had the Chicken Calzone which was huge (but he managed to eat it all) with chips which were the best we had tasted. Hot, crisp and fluffy. I had the Crab Linguine which was full of white crab meat and generously positioned. We couldn't manage an afters However it was very very quiet, the restaurant nearly empty and we had 4 waitresses tending to us which became a bit much. Still, we will definately being going back there again .

Sitting outside on the square is excellent! The menu looked good but our choices turned out to be pretty heavy and the final bill as well. A pity.

Visited to see what Zintino was all about. Staff were polite and helpful. The decor looks much better. I’m still not sure the menu is different or exciting enough. Very standard Italian fayre. We both had pizzas but really hard to eat, why don’t they...

Food was excellent and service second to none, Restaurant always nice and clean and food is always fresh, well managed and will definitely be returning

The re brand of Villagio to ZINITOS is lovely. The new menu, furniture and lighting gives a really cosy feel and the staff remain unchanged which is a big bonus as the service is always excellent. Tamara talked us through the new menu and made...

The place has just undergone a renovation and the interior feels light and airy. Good quality food with lots of choice. Friendly and efficient staff.

Zintino opened on Saturday and I was charmed to be asked to cut the ribbon along with the head chef and the restaurant manager. The restaurant has been extensively refurbished to a high standard throughout with an exciting new menu too. Over the Easter bank...

Visited this restaurant for the second time in the last few months having not been in for years. On both occasions we had a fantastic meal with great staff. Our latest visit was for a late Sunday lunch. We had three courses with wine. All...

Well, our party of 6 arrived at 7.30 to a restaurant that was about half full of customers. I noticed many of them were not eating anything, always a bad sign. We ordered some bread to start, and our main courses. The bread arrived at...

Ate here yesterday on Saturday evening. The place was pretty full. The atmosphere was fine but hey had a nightmare in the kitchen. We waited an hour for a poor meal but to be honest we’re lucky. A couple next to us waited longer for...

we visited here whilst staying in Andover. great food but the service was dire - we waited over 50 mins for our starters. the plus side was we complained and got a partial refund on our whole meal. temperature in the restaurant was also too...

Been in here a few times, always friendly and efficiently run. Lunch today was great as usual and the young man serving us was charming and very welcoming. Looking forward to visiting again!

Lived in Andover 6yrs, must have passed it loads + never noticed it was a restaurant, decided to give it ago + wasn't disappointed, meals were great, reasonably priced + not to far from the car park. The lady in charge was lovely + friendly...

Pizza was great ...real italian style base and great amount of topping .Was a nice long lunch catching up with friends and we did not feel rushed at all .Staff friendly too

We had another excellent meal here and Marta looked after us extremely well - as she always does. Helpings are good and the house wine is delicious.

It had been a long day and I was on my way home, when I fancied something sweet, but not a coffee and a cake, not even a cup of tea and a piece of cake. I really fancied a slice of cheesecake and ice...

We have been to Villagio a number of times now. For a chain it is very good. Sure it is not an independent so do not expect the really personal touch or menu that the best of those provide, but then the prices are relative...

The restaurant is very nicely arranges, lots of tables and very comfortable seats. There is a very good menu with plenty of choice. We had the best lemon drink ever....served by a charming waiter called James. All of the staff were very accommodating....and we will certainly be going back next time we visit Andover. our daughter has booked a Valentines dinner there already.

Booked early in order to get to a meeting. Warm welcome, very swift service and an excellent atmosphere in which to enjoy wine and food

We came for a very late lunch, 3 pm on a Sunday. After showing us to our table, they came over with crayons for the little one. First plus point. So little one occupied, we could order our food. We had a pizza and the mushroom risotto between the 2.5 of us. Little one really liked the risotto and had nearly all of it. I had a taste and agreed it was tasty.

Arrivé fortuitement dans la ville de Andover (sommes toutes assez calme), nous avons opté pour ce restaurant compte tenu de son emplacement central et du cadre agréable qu'il propose. Nous n'avons pas été déçus! L'ensemble des plats servis, bien que assez simples, furent de très bonne qualité (les Ribs!). Le service attentionné et les vins savoureux. A conseiller sans hésiter.

Walked past loads of times but today we decided to call in to be greeted by an enthusiastic young lady who made us feel very welcome. Food was lovely and tasty Italian fare from a varied reasonably priced menu. The soup was to die for and her lady ship had baked mushrooms which looked lovely and I am told, tasted even better. Mains were a tasty mushroom risotto and a spicy Italian pizza with just enough spice for my pallet. The sin of the day was the sweet course of Tiramisu with ice cream and I had cheesecake with ice cream...mmm... lovely. Followed by coffee which finished off the meal perfectly. We will be back!

My first visit and I’d heard mixed reviews. I have to say it’s in a good location and has a good ambiance. The staff were very friendly and drinks and food were all served promptly. I had the Prawn Linguine which was tasty and I couldn’t fault, presented well too. However, a friend had the same and found a staple in one of her prawns. That said it was dealt with promptly. An apologetic member of staff, food replaced quickly and cost removed from bill. I only had a main meal but my share of the bill was high considering, which was down to the highly priced drinks. I shared 2 bottles of processco with friends that with my main meal (no starter or pudding) came to £30. I felt that to be steep!

A welcoming Italian with modern twist. A very elegant location on the ground floor of the old Guild Hall in the pedestrian centre of town. High ceilings and attractive decor. Spacious and airy - you don't feel cramped when the place is packed. Good attentive service.

We came here for a meal and it was lovely. My nephew has a dairy allergy so finds it hard eating out sometimes but the waiter was very good. He brought over an ipad which shows you what you can have if you have any allergys, so there was no fuss in asking about each item on the menu. The service was a little slow but it just seemed to be a very laid back atmosphere which felt nice. The food was excellent, very tasty and filling and we thought the bill was very reasonable. We will be returning.

We got together as a family to catch up following our son and partner's return from a wedding in Ibiza and our daughter and families return from Centre Parcs. Having lived in Italy for two years we do appreciate good Italian food and this meal was just that; great service, excellent food, all on our doorstep and made more economical with the use of our Tastecard.

We visited midweek and it was very quiet. Service was good. Had a nice seat by window. Only one beer available and draught not available at Andover. Bread platter very enjoyable, olives were ok but have had better. Can recommend the garlic prawn starter, slightly salty for my taste but not enough to put me off. Steak was excellent but the tomato and red onion salad was a disappointment. It was just tomato wedges (I expected slices) and a few onion rings. It looked as if they had just been put on the plate with no care. Overall the food was good so on that score a success but the drinks are a bit on the expensive side for the selection of wine and beer.

The food was late and unappetising. It's a shame as they are ideally placed in the middle of town, in a beautiful historic building.We had high hopes, but won't be going back

Food was mediocre and was a let down as I have been here a few times before. The female hostess/ waitress was actually quite rude and snotty.Food was only lukewarm and we had waited a long time, it wasn't even busy, couldn't complain as she was "busy" then waited 15 minutes so we could pay the bill. I really hope this improves don't think we will be coming back for a while.

It's always a pleasure to visit this restaurant - not only is the food of excellent quality but the service leaves nothing to chance

Family meal out, we divided against the usual Indian or Harvester options and instead went here. We booked our table online so arrived and were sat down immediately.Drinks were delivered promptly to our table as were the starters we ordered.Main courses were very well presented and served piping hot.Desserts were out of this world !!Great staff, Great service and fantastic foodOnly downside was the portion size was a little on the small side and the drinks were very expensive

The young man who served us made the whole lunch a wonderful experience and would be recommended to friends. He went over and above with every aspect of his work and cannot sing his praises enough. Food wonderful as well

Dined here midweek for a family 21st birthday and had a wonderful evening. The staff were attentive and polite, and the food - we all had the steak - was spot on, as was the Chianti.Highly recommended.

Great service! Got in early on a Saturday evening (six of us) without a booking. Chicken Risotto was superb! We all enjoyed it after a busy day racing at Thruxton

A plethora of service issues from the moment you walk in.Arrogant, rude and poorly trained staffed. Coupled with cold food. Slow service. The fire alarm going off and to top it all;You complain and the manager tells you to just shut up, pay up or I'll call the police.They certainly earned the additional service charge on group bookings in our case!!!!Avoid. Starving to death would be a more enjoyable experience.

Quality restaurant in central location. Plenty of free parking in the evening. Good service but can be seen little slower when really busy. Quality choice at reasonable prices.

There was 4 tables in the restaurant and two waiters yet was a total struggle to gain the attention of either. Most of our time was spent gaining the attention of the waiters who seems disinterested. Food was very plain, absolutely no reason to return. Would not recommend

Staff were lovely but my pasta was OK but a prawn and spinach pasta dish with only a few prawns was a bit disappointing.

My grown up daughter and I ate here on Saturday evening. We were shown to a table between, and underneath, two very noisey air conditioners and were so cold, we asked to be moved. The next table was fine. My daughter ordered a pollo con funghi, a variation on an Italian Escalope Milanese. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce looked suspiciously 'ready made.' However, she said it was perfectly acceptable and was happy with the mixed salad and chips which accompanied the main meal. I ordered linguine with prawns. The linguine was beautifully cooked, and the sauce was delicious BUT the prawns were completely raw inside, dangerously so! I sent the meal back, to be presented with the exact same state of prawns second time round, so I compromised and just ate the pasta, placing the prawns on a separate plate to go back to the kitchen. I was not charged for my meal, so all credit to them. However, one staff member got extremely defensive and insisted it was all my fault and that I knew nothing about cooking prawns! I do, I live on the French Coast and eat stacks of shellfish. I understand that in turning pink, they had indeed been chucked in a pan and quickly sautéed, but they were absolutely raw and cold inside, so just the outside of them had been cooked. This is not a safe way of eating prawns and nor is the taste acceptable. The flesh should still be soft, but it should not be cold and raw.It was a dreadfully noisey restaurant, but the tables were generously sized, and the chairs were comfortable .If anything, I'd say there were too many staff, some of whom were rather invasive on our privacy. More training is needed here! I asked for the bill, to be given the wrong one, so that was another source of contention.Not one member of staff I spoke to was Italian. The menu was very mixed up indeed and certainly not akin to an authentic one eaten at three nights earlier in Central London, which was absolutely superb. I lived in Italy for several years, and know good Italian food when I come across it, which was most definitely not at Villagio. It was a disappointment, as it could be great.Would I try Villagio again? Not whilst under its current ownership.

Andover centre lacks nice places to go out and eat, so I feel Villagio is one of the better. The food is always nice, not amazing, but still good. Service has been different each time I visit. Sometimes it can be great service with happy and passionate staff, and the other times it can be moody and careless. I feel that this is just an average place. Average isn't a bad review but it doesn't knock your socks off!

Quick pit stop for dinner.Pizza was lovely and thin, best way to eat it. Not extensive menu but ok for a quick dinner. It was rather noisy when we went in with one party making lots of noise. It sounds worse due to the height of the ceilings. Friendly staff

We had a lovely meal here with family, with good food, and lovely crisp white wine. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Would definitely return again.

We stopped in Andover for lunch of a Monday afternoon, and found this place. It is in the old Guildhall so quite a location. The service was friendly and the pizzas were lovely.

Italian food but fairly predictable. Staff pleasant but not always fast! Menu not very extensive and prices fairly high for food received.

We booked this restaurant for my Mum's 60th birthday. We ate here on a Saturday lunchtime, and I was very impressed.It wasn't busy at all, two or three other tables of guests, so we had excellent service without sharing the waitress/waiter with other hungries.The restaurant has good disabled access, one point to note though is that their disabled toilet was out of service during our visit, not ideal, but thankfully not a crisis.For a British Italian restaurant I was impressed by their menu. More authentic than many chain restaurants, but still very much catering to the British tastes and perceptions of what 'Italian food' should be. They had pizza, pasta and a main meat menu available. It's not what you get in Italy, but it's far better than many I have visited.We started with a garlic pizza bread between us. I followed that up with Linguine Pollo piccante, a spicy creamy chicken pasta dish. I was so impressed by the portion size too. Very generous! The rest of my family had pizzas, which they all really enjoyed.For dessert I indulged in chocolate ice cream, my Dad had vanilla, and my husband had a chocolate mascarpone cheescake (divine!). My Mum received a complementary short glass of Tia Maria as it was her birthday, that was a kind and special addition to the meal.Overall, I was very impressed, and would definitely visit here again. So many other dishes to try. Looking forward to trying their antipasti!

Being a lover of Italian food. All I can say about this establishment? Disappointing. If you are expecting "Italian" food? Best go to Pizza Hut.

Great food and even better service !! And the specials are also very tasty. I would recommend this for a lunch and a supper for any occasion. Great value for money.

Really good service, we turned up without booking and there was two parties going on, but we were made very welcome. Food as ever, great, but it was the service that made it a great experience

Went there last night. been several rimes before. A oldy that sits in the centre of Andover. Nice food. good choice and not rhat expensive. Duo to the old building. it can be a bit noisy due to the acoustics. That said. At least it has it old charm. and not changed. The waitress wel had was very attentive but not over bearing. very nice. would recommend.

Never thought there was such a place in Andover. Totally shocked in a good way. Great atmosphere wonderful food really lovely. It felt like we were in London in a really good eatery. Worth every penny. I know where to go in future when we want to spoil ourselves a little bit.

I have been to this restaurant a few times now and find it very interesting. The waitress that we have had always vary but if you talk to them they are very helpful and engaging. I have found that the meals are good and honest priced, they are not looking at anything to fancy and don't price themselves out of the market. If you are looking for a genuine Italian restaurant feeling....this is not hte place to go at all. The food is good but as mentioned, its honest but not authentic. The servers are very sweet and engaging but generally from Eastern Europe, thats not to say they do a bad job because as mentioned the service is brilliant and they are very friendly and its easy to chat to them. Its just doesn't fit with an authentic Italian restaurant. I find that Italian restaurants these days are too easy to open and its to easy to serve 'Italian' food but i will always prefer the authentic over the generic.If you like eating 'Italian' at places like Pizza Express, Zizzi's or ASK then this place will fit the bill nicely.

Visiting Andover and not fancying a traditional pub Sunday lunch tried Villagio's. Wasn't very busy but a very nice location and decor as it is in the towns Guild Hall and staff were welcoming. Between us we ordered a mix of salads, pasta dishes and pizza all very good all served on good time and very tasty. Well worth a visit

Villagio are a small chain of Italian restaurants, the Andover branch is in the Guildhall in the centre of town. The Guildhall is a listed building which probably explains the restaurant’s rather anonymous entrance, a small door on one side of the building. Inside the decor is excellent, with a large dining area. We had a table next to the windows, enabling us to watch the good folk of Andover in the high street. The menu contains the usual Italian dishes, and the food is very good, tasty, well presented, with reasonable prices. The wine list is not large, but the Chianti is very good. Service is good, and friendly, the staff are well informed about the dishes. As its nearby I’ll return soon.

Are here for a friend's birthday. Service a little slow at first but we were not in a hurry and were busy giving birthday gifts. Staff were very pleasant and good humoured. Food arrived in good time after order, freshly cooked and very tasty. All in all very good value for a evening out with mains, puds and wine.

The pizza i ordered tasted horrible. It seemed it was a frozen pizza. The waiter said that it was because it had a thin crust.I will not be visiting this place again.Not value for money

We went on a Thursday evening and it was quite quiet which was lovely. My boyfriend and I both had pasta dishes which were really filling and tasty. We then both had tiramisu for dessert which was absolutely divine! We will definitely come here again.

. Villagio is inside the Guildhall so the setting is impressive; I wondered whether the food would live up to it. Villagio describes itself as a “convenient, modern Italian restaurant with a classic family menu”. It’s a chain, with a few locations around (mainly) Hampshire that says it offers live music in the evenings – but looking at the website, every single thing they have between now and Christmas is either a Frank Sinatra or a Michael Buble tribute act. So if you don’t like that sort of thing it may not be the best choice!The menu is quite broad as it offers most types of Italian dishes – pasta, risotto, pizza, meat, fish. I love calzone pizza and don’t have it very often, so was tempted by the seafood ravioli on the specials board but plumped for the pollo calzone, containing chicken, pepperoni, pancetta, roasted peppers, tomato sauce and mozzarella instead (£11.50). My friend did ask for the special ravioli, but the waitress returned to our table to say they had run out – surprising as it was only 6pm but I guess they must have served a lot at lunchtime.My pizza was very good – nice dough and stuffed full, with a side salad to accompany. I did think it was a bit expensive for what it was, but maybe the location puts this restaurant at the top end of the town centre choices in Andover. We shared a mozzarella garlic pizza bread as a starter, which was pretty average – I’ve had very similar and often better versions of this in other Italian restaurants. Overall though it was a nice meal with friendly and speedy service.

Visited on a friday night. The service was fast and friendly and the food came quickly. Pizza and pasta dishes were lovely. Only minor bad point was lack of knowledge of the wine list by the waitress but didn't make any difference to our experience. Will visit again.

Excellent food, lovely staff especially waitress Michaella; what a lovely girl she is. Fabulous location too. Only 1 criticism, the tiramisu, although delicious, was a little heavy.

Have wanted to try this place for a while and decided to try today, what a disappointment! Requested hot plates and on arrival were just tepid which consequently made the sauce congeal very quickly on the overcooked chicken. The side of rocket was slimy due to being passed it's sell by date. Frozen chips, not a place I would recommend!

Came here for our daughters 9th birthday. We had kids garlic bread, King prawns and calamari for starters and then kids bolognese, Chicken milanese and pollo piccante pizza. All of it was great and the service was good too.

I have only eaten in Italian restaurants abroad when they were part of the all inclusive alternatives and for that reason I did not really consider them to be authentic, neither the high street fast food eateries. At long last at a pre Christmas family gathering, there came an opportunity to try the local Villagio, one of a small chain. It is located in the Guildhall building in one large room which does rather give the impression of sitting in a large canteen at lunchtime. This was lunchtime on a Saturday being market day in Andover but there were only a handful of other diners at any one time we were there. It did not spoil the atmosphere with some discrete music playing and of course excellent service. I had the Penne Pollo Funghi which was very good and I know the other guests all enjoyed theirs. We took time over our lunch with no pressure to leave and I would dearly like to return, preferably in the evening with perhaps some live music.

Always very friendly staff, always a lovely meal and nice evening.Good service and lovely evening with family.

We booked in for the live music night (Michael Bublé tribute) and it was brilliant. Food was just as good quality as normal, even though they had a table of 40 in to serve, and the service was great. The singer was so good and we are lucky to have such an old venue as a restaurant. Sitting by the window, looking at all the Christmas lights down the town, listening to live Christmas music and eating delicious food - perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit. This place is a gem in Andover & we try to go every couple of weeks to support it, especially now a rival pizza place is established! Please don't forget about it and try to help keep our high street different from hundreds of others!

Food was ok, not a huge amount of taste. Service was pretty slow, took a number of attempts from multiple people to get a beer. Nice looking restaurant, not to bad on price. Get what you pay for i guess.

situado justo en el centro del pueblo, la comida es excelente, y el servicio muy agradable. Una muy buena opción si se quiere escapar del famoso Pub britanico y el típico beef o fish and chips

12 people well looked after on a quite Tuesday night in Andover. Food served hot, on time and with a smile. Try the arancini starter, very nice and the pasta special. The only thing that let it down was the lack of atmosphere which had the live act planned turned up wouldn't of been an issue, something we should have been made aware of as we booked for that reason!

A long overdue catch up was arranged with a meal at Villagio.. First impressions were positive. Clean welcoming staff member who showed us to our table. We had to grab the attention of a waiter to order drinks after waiting for 15minutes.. Slight mistake with drinks order, but quickly rectified.. The main meals were delivered fairly quick, my friend ordered a burger with cheese, which was missing the cheese. My choice was lovely. I chose the Sea Bass, which was cooked to mouthwatering perfection... Desserts: We decided on the cheesecake, a lovely finish to the meal..

Situated in the Guildhall building in the centre of Andover, this Villagio Italian restaurant is one of seven in a small chain. The staff were very welcoming and helpful in explaining the 'specials' that were additional to the main menu. Service was prompt and the food was very good. The menu features a good selection of varied Italian dishes and the prices seemed very reasonable. Would certainly go again and also try other branches.

Three of us had an excellent dinner here yesterday evening. The food was delicious, service first class and the staff very nice and friendly. Natalie is an excellent manager. A very pleasant evening, thank you.

I've been here a couple of times now and it's been exceptional every time. On a busy Friday night we had a table booked and were seated straight away and the service was great. Alternatively, on quieter nights during the week we've gone in and had a fabulous time. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food is excellent.

We dined as a large group on a Saturday evening. I had heard mixed reviews on Villagio, so was apprehensive about both the food and service. I stuck with an Italian themed meal, antipasto starter, that was very good and a pizza light (a smaller pizza) served with a delicious salad. In general the whole group enjoyed their meals, although I did think the steak meal did not look too special. Service was good, but then we were there for the evening. The servers were all very friendly and smiling! I would return, it's a reasonable food and a reasonable cost.

Dropped in whilst in town and was very pleasantly surprised but both the service and the food. The ambiance was relaxing and the waitress who served us could not have been more attentive. Food was very tasty and appeared to have been cooked fresh. Im allergic to shellfish and they went out of their way to assure me that my meal would be prepared away from any shellfish, which I appreciated their concern.

Lovely food an always cooked very nice!very good price for kids menuOnly downfall is tables are bit close together

sehr leckeres Essen und super Service :-)Sehr freundliche Bedienung und unser Essen wurde schnell serviert.Italienische Küche daher hatten wir Pizza und Pasta bestellt.

We were looking for an authentic Italian restaurant during a short visit to Andover and we could not have made a better choice. The ambience of the restaurant was very relaxed, the service was excellent and the food was delicious. My starter was baked avocado and it was so delicious I want to learn how to make it myself! We dined here on a Sunday evening and we were the only customers - which can sometimes be a bit worrying - but in general, the town centre was deserted as well.

we went for a family Birthday meal even though their was nine of us they coped very well ,the food was great came promptly,tasted great service was spot on ,pudding was excellent

Been here once and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service and food was fab. It wasn't very populated, not sure why, which meant it was quiet and extra care was taken from the waiting staff. I recommend this place.

The Villagio Ristorante – surprise, surprise – specialises in Italian food, served in generous portions and in a relaxed and informal setting, despite the premises once being the elegant Andover Town Hall. There is a varied menu, covering the usual Italian delicacies and, of course, specialising in large, mouth-watering pizzas. You can eat alfresco when the sun is out, provided you don't mind the hustle and bustle of the surrounding shops in what is the heart of Andover. Service is always friendly, and the food of a high standard considering the prices are not frightening. A very good venue for a casual evening out.

Hmmm sorry but not one of my favs, ok maybe for lunch but never really enjoyed an evening meal here. Very noisy and loud music so much so you cant have a conversation, food not as good as price would suggest and before you finish first course the main course arrives so you always feel rushed, have been a few times as i really like Italian food but this nearly always dissapoints.
