Vittorias

Food was absolutely excellent. Service was friendly polite and efficient. I would definitely recommend. We had booked tickets for a show and got 10 per cent off the total bill as well.

the food was good, a bit light on the garlic tho for the garlic mushrooms, could have been tastier. but portions adequate and pleasantly delivered

We all had a very nice meal from the theatre meal deal and the staff were very helpful - thank you - and we all enjoyed our visit to Preston.

Excellent food and excellent service would definitely recommend and visit again. We shared a starter of garlic bread which was delicious and a main of chicken also excellent

Went here prior to a concert at the Guild Hall. Not knowing Preston it was very conveniently situated on the ground floor of the Hall. Food and service very good - authentic Italian. Frito misto was an excellent starter and a generous portion. My wife and son loved their pizzas and I had a nice pasta with meatballs. Worth a visit.

It was our first visit to the Villa Italian in Preston and certainly not our last. The décor is excellent being bright and easy on the eye. The staff were very attentive but bearing in mind the restaurant had only been opened for just 2 months some of the staff were unsure of the pricing structure if you were in the Guild Hall show package. We liked the idea of being able to view the kitchen and how the chef and his team worked so well together and the food was excellent. Keep up the good work !

very friendly staff. Smart setting. We booked through the Guild Hall the same time as booking tickets a great service. food very good . Will go again. Little noisy due to a large party of 50

We huad a great eve with friends on Saturday eve at the Villa the food was wonderful . Will definitely go again in fact we are on Wednesday. My only criticism is the waiting staff could have smiled more and tended to rush to get your plates collected almost the moment you finished!! More waiter/ waitressing training needed I think 😟 The head chef was amazing working under so much pressure as very busy restaurant and two staff having decided not to turn up. shame on YU guys !!!!!

Really enjoyed our meal and the place was clean and tidy and the staff was very polite and helpful we will defiantly will be back and we will tell all our friends and family

Excellent service. Our food was from the lunch menu and was fantastic value for money as well as being very tasty. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great food and service and the open kitchen is a good idea and adds to the atmosphere. Wines expensive as in most bars these days

The food was very good as was the service. We were going to a show so had limited time, but that wasn't a problem. Not so keen on the noise and it was a bit like a noisy school canteen.

Really enjoyed our first visit to Villa Italian, on a Saturday night at 7.30. Very nice atmosphere, not too busy. A nice modern restaurant but not clinical, a nice choice of open and secluded seating. The staff were very friendly and attentive. A good selection of drinks were on offer and a nice traditional menu. The food arrived promptly and was very nice, we both had a starter each and a main course, but sadly no room for a dessert, maybe next time. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Good food and excellent staff. A very enjoyable evening. Would recommend friends to visit and look forward to going again. An asset to Preston City Centre

Nice place decent food although some dishes not authentic enough for me like peppers in the arrabiatta .In convenient location to vist cocktail bar Review under same ownership next door.Will try again.

Great venue, excellent service and reasonably priced but the chef is too heavy handed with the olive oil - my steak was swimming in it - which was a shame because it was beautifully tender - but ruined by the oil slick !!! Also need bigger plates to put the steaks on - mine had to be folded to fit on the plate. Will return but next time ask for no oil or try the pasta.

Not the cheapest Italian in Preston but certainly amongst the best we have tried. Food was excellent,the seafood linguine was packed full of fish as was the seafood risotto. Friendly and helpful staff asking if we were going to the show that evening which gave an extra 10% of the bill. The only reason for not giving a top mark was service was a little slow just pleased we had given ourselves enough time to eat (and enjoy) our meal before the start of the show.. Highly recommended.

Poor menu, bland and boring food. I had the chicken, which was very dry and over cooked. Everything lacked imagination and flare. Would not go back

The food was amazing and the finish to the restaurant was fantastic as well. Only issue would be service. Entering the place, we felt like we were disturbing the man on his computer. He was very dismissive and made the first impression arkward to say the least. Even when I went to pay the bill with him he just waved someone else over to deal with me. I only approached him as he was the only staff member doing nothing sat at his computer, 90% of the time we were there. The rest of the staff, really friendly. Like I said before the food was really good, but we didn't get a check back so it was a good job. Maybe the office worker at the front door would be better positioned on the restaurant floor in this case.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE 3-4. It was a very a busy and noisey Sat night when we attended. Our table was not ready when we arrived and so we were seated on high stools at the bar- not ideal initial impression. That said, staff were nevertheless welcoming and attentive and we were found a table within 10 mins. Once comfortably seated our service was good and we had no unreasonable delays. Our food whilst acceptable and inoffensive was rather mediocre, bland and presentation was uninspiring. Generally we were disappointed as did not live up to our expectations and we felt did not represent value for money - generally overpriced. We choose from the a la carte menu - veal chop, swordfish and pizza. Decor and surroundings were pleasant. Not sure if we would go again for meal - possibly try a snack and drink deal special and at a quieter time before dismissing entirely.

Service good but not rushed, the food was fines do was well presented in pleasant surroundings. Overall the price of the meal was reasonable and would visit again although there is plenty of competition with other Italian restaurants.

We booked the restaurant as we were going to a show. The food was very average my sirloin steak was too salty and so was my partners we could not eat it Boxed it up for the dogs. Our friend's dish ( not a steak) was also too salty. As we were seeing a show they offer 10% discount we forgot to mention this when the bill was paid so we called in after the show. They were still open but would not offer us the 10% we still had out ticket stubs.... very unhelpful

Excellent service. All staff were lovely and very competent. The food was some of the best food me and my family had tried in a long time.

The food was lovely, both my husband and I really enjoyed our meal 9/10! The staff was friendly and helpful! Will definitely be making a second visit soon.

Fire alarm went off just after getting there. Food nice but arrabiati not spicy enough, waitress service good as regularly checking if enough drinks etc

Beautiful food, from start to finish. The score would have been 6 if the final service had been just a bit better. We sat for sometime after our mains had been cleared and waited for a dessert menu, in the end we had to ask for one. Other than that everything was great.

Very nice food. Had to wait about 20 mins for our table which was booked for 8.30 and there were tables not being used so not sure why the wait.

great food. nice atmosphere , friendly staff , prompt service , genuine Italian, fresh ingredients , loved watching them cook my food and family friendly

Efficient service and good food in a fresh comfortable environment. Ideal place to eat if you are heading for a show in the theatre upstairs

The food was acceptable and on the whole reasonably priced but by no means outstanding. The wine was slightly higher priced than equivalent restaurants perhaps. The atmosphere was far too noisy and frenetic, the background music was anything but background and not of universal appeal.

Enjoyed both starter and main courses, nice atmosphere, modern and clean venue, staff very pleasant also attentive, with a good knowledge of the menu. Will visit again.

Really enjoyed, again. Tried the pizza this time and was really pleased to know that I could have a Gluten free base, it was delicious. I also had a gluten free cheesecake, yummy. The staff once again were brilliant.

Food fantastic, can't fault it, the starter was really good and the seafood pizza was the best I've had in years. service really quick just a shame about the company I keep

Great venue, different menu and excellent service. The food was very well presented with dressed salads appropriate to the course.

We're told we could order off the specials as there was a show, then we couldn't. Also told there was 10% off, there wasn't. Food ok, very slow to get drinks.

Lovely food, very good service, and extremely good value.it was really nice to see all the food being prepared,good portion sizes, attentive staff. Will definitely be visiting again.

Fantastic place. Great food, reasonably priced, esp the lunch time special, absolutely huge portions and friendly helpful staff. I Will certainly be going back here.

Excellent food and great atmosphere. Staff were very attentive. Will definitely go back. Although it is a confusing on the menu that it doesn't give times for the pronto fixed menu which is only available at lunch.

Reasonable food, Very quiet for a Saturday night so the atmosphere wasn't the best.

Only opened this week but off to a good start! Great food and friendly service- very reasonably priced too. We will be returning very soon
