    The food is so tasty and the staff so friendly, the restaurant has the warm of a home kitchen it permeates into everything. We moved away and never miss an opportunity to go back.

    Our server needs more training. The appetizer was served alongside the 2 entrees. The seafood platter was very good and the wild mushroom ravioli was also very good. We told our server we would like serving spoons in order to be able to serve/share the entrees. Finally a spoon arrived. The 2 desserts we ordered were underwhelming. The tiramisu was ok and the berry cake was just ok. For the price, the desserts lacked the quality we expected. We asked for a box to take home the beet salad we didn’t finish. The box arrived and once again no spoon was offered to put the salad in it the box. My review would have received higher marks if the service was better. With training and coaching perhaps the service will improve.

    My husband and I were visiting Madison/Middleton and had dinner at Villa Dolce with friends who live in the area. I had read about it on TripAdvisor. The four of us loved everything about our dinner. The food was delicious. One of us had the special, tuna, perfectly cooked, on top of pasta, and the rest of us had different pasta dishes. We all tried each other‘s food, and the favorite pasta dishes were the Bolognese on papperdelle and the mushroom ravioli. Dessert was a delight, too. We all sampled a selection of gelato and a cannoli. The service was excellent. Our server never intruded on our conversation, but was extremely professional and helpful. We ate outside on a beautiful evening, and the whole experience could not have been better.

    Who would seat a couple next to a table containing two unruly children? We could not even speak without being out shouted either by the children or the parents. The server did not help by engaging in additional baby talk at at a voulume equal to the children. We asked for a new table and were moved to an overflow table in another room. This table had no assigned waitress, so we were left with flagging down a server. We had this reservation for over a week. Is this the regard you have for your customers. Needless to say, we had a terrible dining experience at a not cheap price.
