I had heard raves about ravioli. I was not impressed too much nutmeg for my taste. Cannoli shell was perfect but the filling was not dense as I like it. The bread baguette was vey good from Watsonville. The prepackaged provolone was very good. Born in the Bronx I'm sure I'm more particular then most.
Servers were friendly and cordial to a point. Best you know what you want. Because locals standing behind you and the people waiting on you don't seem to take kindly to having to wait for all your questions to be answered. So we bought everything we wanted to ask about and basically did a taste test at a local park. Else a cute tiny cramped deli. Best you visit at off hours if you tend to browse. Willow Glen as a whole seem rather pretentious. Little sad by our experiences in Willow Glen.Features: None.
First off I have to say I love this place. Little old school deli with a large Italian cuisine. I haven't been there in a while . Stopped by to pick up some beef ravioli. The ravioli was so mushy they couldn't be eaten. I don't like to complain but I was very disappointed especially after ranting how good they are. I realize it's hard to keep them warm but maybe only sell raw or cook to order? Serving them this way will definitely hurt you guys in the long run .
When I think of La Villa, I think of warm pillows of raviolis in a tangy marinara sauce, a delicious gooey Chris combo sandwich bursting with flavor and a meatball that is a meal in itself. There are plenty of hot classic Italian food options to go and delectable sandwiches to choose from. You can't go wrong with anything they serve at this gourmet delicatessen. There are an array of Italian staples. Including, various snacks, draft beer, assortment of salad, desserts, pasta, pizza, raviolis, cutlet, sandwiches and meatballs. Everyone is friendly, including fellow customers. It's like visiting a big family. They want to feed you and they are always happy to see you. IG: SACRAMENTOHONEY
Delicious ravioli of course. Took it home for the family. And a meatball sandwich for lunch. Friendly and fast.
Absolutely delicious. Took recommendations from the friendly staff and it was amazing. Deli sandwich of mortadella and head cheese. Famous ravioli. Roasted chicken. Lasagna. Everything I tried was top notch. Will definitely be back to try more. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Went yesterday, Saturday, for the first time in probably ten years due to moving out of the area. Staff is efficient. Food was just as delicious. Highly recommend.
Loved the family owned Italian eatery. One if the best sandwich places in area. Can't wait to try ravioli and lasagna.
Great food, great service. The ravioli has been a Christmas tradition in San Jose for generations. Calling ahead or ordering online will save you some time most of the year, but the last two weeks of December are prime time to bring a bottle of water, something to read, and some patience for your fellow food lover.And LaVilla is worth the wait!
La Villa always has certain people waiting on me. I used to live right down the street from there. So, I know and really like the food they serve. The people I know there, still call me 'Tater Salad, because I really enjoy it a lot. It is just the kind of place that is very good, one of a kind very nice shop to eat their food. I know Chris, Geoff, Paul, Patti, Patti's daughter, and the great guy who often does the BBQ outside, but I don't remember his name. I like to go there when I am in Willow Glen, because I always get an "Upper" when I stop to buy something to eat, drink, and give the people something funny or nice to think about.
