Visited on the 2nd Sept. The restaurant has lots of character and the staff attentive throughout. Being an independent you get a different dining experience but one we preferred. The food was excellent from the starters to the dessert and we couldn't fault it. Definitely a place to return to and to recommend. 5 stars!!
If you've not been already I strongly recommend you pay this wonderful little restaurant a visit. The food is to die for and the service is first class. Had a fantastic lunch there today.
Special birthday celebrations and wanted to go somewhere locally that I hadn't been to before. We have a lot of choice in Maidstone but wanted to avoid the big chains and go somewhere small and independent. Love Italian food so La Villetta seemed the perfect choice and it was. Lovely intimate surroundings. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Perfect evening. Lovely restaurant can't recommend enough.
Service with a smile, bringing the most wonderful food. I actually closed my eyes at one point to savour the flavours more! Could not recommend enough
Also it was my birthday and they treated me wonderfully and made it extra special - thank you
What a fab little place. The menu is imaginative and the food itself is gorgeous. Great service, friendly staff and a wonderful warm atmosphere. A bit like Frédéric's before it got too big and lost its charm. Just what Maidstone needs. Can't wait to go again.
Lovely independant Italian restaurant, serving excellent authentic Italian cuisine. Friendly welcoming staff, good service and ambience and reasonably priced. This is just what Maidstone needs as thereare far too many chain restaurants around. Highly recommend this and will definitely be back. It deserves to do well.
Excellent food at Maidstone's newest restaurant. Lovely to see another independent place opening and I can highly recommend it. The food was superb. We loved all three courses and my only problem is what to choose the next time we go there! Will have to go often and work my way through the menu! The service was friendly , the ambiance excellent and I hope they flourish. Do yourselves a favour and take the time to go there.
2nd visit here and was as good if not better than the 1st time we came , lovely staff , great freshly made food , and the puddings made by the owner Isabella are stunning.
Really enjoy it here, simple menu with unique combinations of food that you don't find anywhere else which are beautifully presented. Lovely relaxing atmosphere - can recommend the Porchetta and Swordfish mains!
Very nice meal. The service was very professional and kind. We enjoyed the food and the price was very reasonable.
Lovely little restaurant, having an 11 week old I'm always nervous about going into little restaurants but the staff made us feel so welcome and comfortable, the food is amazing, best Italian we've been to in a long time, thank you for making a nervous 1st time mum feel so relaxed!
Would highly recommend....food was delicious & very friendly helpful staff..A lovely experience .Will definitely return....
Wow just so impressed with this place. The service was fantastic, the meal just delightful. Thank you
Intimate with welcoming staff who can't do enough to make your experience enjoyable. The food was so flavoursome and was presented beautifully. We needed somewhere like this in Maidstone as there are too many 'chain' restaurants. Will definitely be returning!
Really delicious authentic food, long wait times.
We visited on a Saturday lunchtime when we were one of three tables. We shared the arancini and bredaola to start, and then had the ravioli and risotto for mains. Everything was super delish and good portions, shame we didn't have enough room for dessert.
Lovely staffs and excellent food! Waiting time was slightly long but it was definitely worth the wait.
Lovely service by the lady we met. The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. I had the fruitti di mare and the linguine. Definitely coming back
The seafood is super fresh and tasty!!! Absolutely recommend the seafood linguini. The shrimp is slightly roasted which makes the aroma come out. The rice ball is also very good!
My Fiancée and I visited La Villetta for our Valentine’s meal, and we weren’t disappointed. The service, the ambiance, and of course the top quality food was amazing. Would highly recommend. If you want a taste of real Italy, then avoid the other ‘Italian’ restaurants down Earl Street. La Villetta is definitely the go to Italian in Maidstone for sure! (But remember, no Pizza. Go to a Pizzeria if you want one of those)
What a great find , scared to tell the world about it. I want to keep it to myself , service was excellent, help when needed , advice when asked , and knowledge about menu and wine list . The food was first class bread and oils while look , then a beautiful starter of butterfly garlic prawn , then mains of belly pork with tomato, bean and a Nduja sauce all finish with a fine primitivo . All within budget .We will be back, 1 st class all round many thanks
Popped in here unplanned to grab lunch with a friend. Staff welcomed us to a table where we ate some great food. Starters and main course were well presented and tasty. Washed down with a delicious bottle of wine. If you would like a more authentic Italian meal experience away from the typical chain places then this is the place to go.
Small intimate restaurant, the staff were very warm and welcoming, the owner was so lovely and explained different elements to our meals.
As usual I was too busy stuffing my face to take pictures but the food was beautiful. I will return again soon so I can take more representative pictures of the meal, I was simply just too excited!
What a find, the food here is authentic and delicious, one of the best Italian meals we have had, well worth a visit. We will visit again
Really easy to book, lovley atmosphere inside. So cozy and homely, the restaurant is small but packed full of small details that make it beautiful and a really lovely place for any occasion. Very clean toilets and restaurant in general was spotless. The food was very very good, full of flavour, come out piping hot and very filling with fantastic portions. The waitress was gorgeous, clearly italian herself which made the experience even better because she knew what to recommend etc and helped us so much. So kind and welcoming! We loved it here and will definitely be returning, couldnt find a single fault😊
