Villa Gargano Italian Restaurant

Villa Gargano Italian Restaurant - A Disappointing Experience Our recent visit to Villa Gargano Italian restaurant was a deeply disappointing experience, particularly given that we traveled two hours to celebrate an early Father’s Day. Upon arrival, we were greeted with the unfortunate news that the restaurant had an extremely limited menu, staff, and seating. The dining room was essentially closed due to the lack of wait staff, which was a significant letdown. The most frustrating aspect of this visit was the lack of communication. There was no phone number available to call ahead and confirm the restaurant's status, and no other information was provided online to inform potential diners of the changes. We had high hopes for this dinner, especially since the menu items looked amazing ba

One of our favorite restaurants. Glad to see pizza is available again. Went in to place my double pizza order to go. Approx. twenty minutes or so later, I was walking out with two delicious pizzas. Open Thurs-Fridays only, 5-8pm. Serving Pizzas, steak sandwiches and salads.

Friendly staff, with a dim lit setting. It feels like you are sitting outside at sunset in Italy. The food is very filling and the dessert is delicious. I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant for an evening in Italy. For my recommendations on what could be done better is the furniture could be updated. The seats felt like they were coming apart and the ceiling could be renovated to help enhance the immersive atmosphere, also the restaurant has not served pizza or wings since covid began. Besides that, this was an excellent night out!

I had just come back to Albany recently and stopped here for dinner. Was not disappointed as their pizza is still THE BEST! Keep up the EXCELLENT work!

Service was great, food (pizza) was hot but that's about all. Got there 430 pm on a Friday, not busy. Ordered the all the way pizza and skipped anchovies and jalapenos. Lacked flavor as well as proper sizing of things like green pepper and onions. Way too big, i.e. too many whole, large, rings of each. Could have stood to be cooked longer as well. Pizza was soggy in the center, and barely brown on top. Given the lack of a pizza sauce only thing I can think of is that it just wasn't cooked long enough. Tomatoes had no flavor. Dough had no flavor. Didn't see or taste a pizza sauce. No Italian spices were evident. Our mistake for letting them put on green olives. Between that and uncooked green pepper/onion thats all I could taste. Slices not cut uniform and cut way too big on about a third o
