Best Italian Restaurants in Cordova

At the time we dined, the restaurant was undergoing renovations; the restaurant had moved up one floor to the mezzanine level and it appeared the ballroom had been converted to a dining area; there were tables in the ballroom without privacy barriers so was somewhat noisy. In terms of the service, the waitress was polite and prompt. The menu was truncated because the restaurant was undergoing renovations. My wife and I split a salad; we both had 6 oz filet mignon. They were cooked to our requests (I had mine rare). The filet mignon did not come with anything else so we ordered a sauteed mushroom/garlic side dish. Dessert was very good. We ordered a creme brulee and it was delicious. We also ordered tiramisu, and it was in an edible chocolate mug.

Our family came in to celebrate my husband’s 53rd birthday. It was our 1st time at Villa Castrioti. Very nice restaurant, live music was a great touch. We were seated away from other guests, in the back corner of the restaurant, which was weird at first. Our server seemed to be in a rush. As it was our first time, we were not familiar with the menu and he didn’t seem to want to spend much time with us to help or offer suggestions. However, we ended up having a great time. The general manager and other servers stopped by to check in. The food was absolutely delicious! The seafood platter was divine.

We love this place. Service tonight was impeccable! Our waiter was engaging, fun. We definitely want him as our waiter again.

Ronnie Grisanti’s is consistently excellent. One problem, the veal piccata is so good, I order it every time. My wife is the same way with the eggplant Parmesan.

Excellent meal, great food, fair prices. Z is the best waiter, very helpful with suggestions!!! Ravioli is the 💣, bow tie pasta with sausage excellent!! Will be back more frequently, blows a lot of other places away!!!
