  Best Italian restaurant in the world.
  Have been going here since I was a little girl, now I live in San Francisco and I actually had my family put an eggplant parm on dry ice and mail it to me.
  
  THE BEST.

  Our family loves this place! My husband went to school with the owners kids. When we visit my inlaws we always either order takeout or stop by sit down and enjoy some yummy food. My favorite is the pizza and chicken pharm. This place is a must try if you are in the area.

  The best pizza I've ever had in my life. End of story.
  Plus I currently live in NYC so I've had some supposedly amazing pizza, and let me tell you, nothing comes close to the pizza from Villa Como.  
  
  This is a tiny hole in the wall kinda restaurant, if you don't know it exists it'd be nearly impossible to find. But once you know its there there's no going back. People wait hours for pizza and they wait because they know its worth it.
  
  I brought family here when they visited from overseas and they were just as blown away by the pizza as we knew they would be.
  
  Said it before and I'll say it again,
  THE BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE BAR NONE!

  Oh man do I love everything about this place...is it the feeling that I'm near that house from Psycho? Is it the old school seating arrangements? Nope it's the crazy delicious pizza that is always soooooo hot and melty and the pitchers of water stacked high with airplane ice. I'd drive 3+ hours here just for the pizza (and I have).

  As a kid growing up in Northeast PA, our dining options were pretty limited.  But the Villa Como was one of the consistently good places that I remembered.  Going back to it years later, I am happy to report that the food is just as good as it was.  Plus the same (original) owners are still around, which is really nice to see.
  
  The pizza here is great.  It's a thin crust New York style pie, and is quite delicious (this area is known for having really good water, which in fact is almost the same water that NYC uses, and anyone who knows the stories about the NYC water and pizza would appreciate the fact that this place can use similar water but in a more natural state! :-)  Also, the traditional Italian dishes are superb.  I highly recommend the ziti or spaghetti.
  
  The service can be somewhat "relaxed" at times, so don't go here if you're in a hurry, but if you are willing to wait for some great cuisine, it's well worth a visit.  Plus when you're done you can stroll across the street and check out beautiful Lake Como.
