  I was actually very surprised at this restaurant.  A decent Italian good in small town Iowa who would have guessed?  We had a family dinner here a few nights before I left Iowa.
  
  It's not a sit down and order type restaurant.  You order at the counter, which isn't terrible.  They will deliver your meal to the table once it's finished.  You get your beverage either from the cooler to the right of the counter or from the soda fountain which is right by the register.  
  
  Once delivered the food is actually really good.  The bread was fresh and hot and a bigger Italian loaf size over a sliced baguette.  I had the lasagna of course.  If the place has it, I order it.   It was a decent size portion and served very hot out of the oven.  Others ordered spaghetti special or the cavatini.  They both looked like good size portions and were finished with smiles.  
  
  It was a jumping place by about 6PM on a week night.  Lots of people in and out having dinner or picking up pizza and dinners to go.

  Villaggio is a great little place to eat.  Living here for the past year, we have past it many times but never found our way to the parking lot and inside.  We finally made our way in.  There wasn't a ton of people there but there was definitely business (we were there about an hour before closing).  Since this was our first time there, we didn't know exactly how it worked.  It was an order at the counter place with the menu above the order counter.  That menu did not have any descriptions but a seperate paper menu did.  Their prices were rather reasonable.
  
  We started with an order of the cheese bread.  I had the Cavatelli while my husband had the Panzerotti.  We were rather surprised at what the cheese bread looked like as we would have called it cheese sticks.  It was really good though!  The Cavatelli was good and hot.  After the cheese bread, I could not eat much of it due to eating too much bread.  My dish also came with a salad and bread.  The salad was just lettuce.  The bread was good.  My husband enjoyed his Panzerotti.  Overall, a good amount of food for the price.
  
  I have a feeling that we will find ourselves in the parking lot more often.

  We stopped at Villaggio after a junior high basketball game...was recommended by a local.  We had several families join us and lots of girls with us.  Other than having a pretty small place for seating a large group, the food was excellent.  The house special (pizza) (can't remember the name), lasagna, alfredo, and the foccacia grinder were all very good...large portions that we had to box up everything.  The girls from the team had a warm pan of cinnamon rolls with a chocolate "flair" to them for dessert...girls gave them two thumbs up.  We will look forward to playing Norwalk in upcoming sporting events, so that we can stop at Villagio afterwards.

  Been there twice.  Loved everything about it.  Italian dressing looks crazy-strange, but it was awesome.  Panzerottis are soo good.  Trying the Chicken Alfredo Pizza tonight.  Everything's hot and fresh and wonderful at Villaggio's.  Good meatballs, too!
