Gargano's Villa - Albany

The eggplant Parmesan is delicious! We really enjoyed our meals here. We will be back for sure

I 've traveled most of the states and a fair amount of Europe, including Italy, and I have to say this restaurant has outstanding food. Service may SEEM slow but that 's part of the ambiance. The timing allows time for conversation and laughter, if you want food being shoveled at you one course after the other buy a conveyor belt and go to a fast food joint. I saw two reviews in particular that made me laugh and caused an irresistible urge to clown on them. For example, one had the nerve to say small portion sizes. First of all you 're a human and not a horse. Their portions are plentiful there buddy. And another called her salad 'uninspired. ' Really? Lmao, calm down there Chef Karen Ramsay. Just reading your review made my drink taste like truffle oil. Friendly, casual, intimate location with well crafted food made from quality ingredients. I was impressed and will definitely be back.

The food is excellent, beautifully prepared and presented. The staff is wonderful and attentive, and they offer good wine options. They do serve cappuccino, but unfortunately, they don’t have pizza.

The food was bland and unappetizing. A woman with red hair came out of the kitchen, loudly scolding a waitress in an unpleasant tone. I later discovered that she was the owner. I would not recommend eating here.

I went to this restaurant with my family, and we had a fantastic evening! The selection of Italian food was excellent. While the menu isn't extensive, the quality of the dishes more than makes up for it! The service was exceptional; our waiter was friendly and engaging. We chose this place based on a recommendation from a former staff member, and we were not disappointed at all. I will admit I'm a bit let down that they haven't been serving pizza since the pandemic began, but that's a minor issue. They offered a remarkable selection of Italian wines, and the server had great recommendations. If you decide to order a salad, definitely try their house-made blue cheese dressing. The veal piccata was delightfully tender, and the Alfredo pasta was rich and creamy without being overwhelming. Oh, and we also appreciated the beautiful murals inside the restaurant!
