Villa Palma - Melbourne

Reflecting on my previous review from November 2020, we had another wonderful dining experience here. The chicken parmesan remained consistently crispy and was generously topped with rich tomato sauce, while the shrimp gnocchi alla vodka was decadently flavorful. The warm, inviting lighting, coupled with the high-backed stalls, Italian-themed decor on the walls, and crisp white linen tablecloths, made me feel like I had stepped directly into a scene from "The Sopranos." The service was commendable, and it's clear that this establishment, being in operation for over 30 years, shows a commitment to maintaining its quality. We began our meal with warm baked bread accompanied by a delicate dipping oil and Parmesan cheese, followed by fresh salads topped with fantastic homemade balsamic dressing and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. For our main courses, my companion chose angel hair pasta with bolognese sauce while I opted for the shrimp and scallop piccata served over angel hair. The portions were modest but sufficient for a meal, though perhaps not enough to take home leftovers. The bolognese sauce was delicious, and my companion remarked that he would definitely return for it. My dish was light, avoiding the heaviness of excessive lemon, although I wouldn't have minded a touch more lemon flavor. The scallops and shrimp were delightful, with more than two scallops and five shrimp in my serving. To wrap up our evening, we enjoyed a nice bottle of wine, but unfortunately, there was no room for dessert, though they did look tempting. I apologize for the quality of the pictures; it's quite challenging to capture good shots in low light.

I recently moved to Indian Harbour Beach and had heard wonderful things about Villa Palma. I finally got the opportunity to visit, and Sherrie was our wonderful server! She was fantastic, and the lobster ravioli I ordered was incredible—I can't stop thinking about it! It was so delicious that I didn't even need a takeout container; I ate every single bite! This has truly been my favorite meal since moving here six months ago. I can't wait to go back!

We always love this restaurant; the service is great. I especially enjoy the limoncello cake for dessert.

Phenomenal italian restaurant! coming from new york there are certain expectations, nothing disappointed! eating, broth and atmosphere everything wonderful! Do not think that we find a better place to enjoy Italian eating!

Delicious food and a beautifully decorated restaurant. A little pricey but worth it for the food you get! I had eggplant rollatini. Delicious and sharp marinara. Add a salad to your meal for sure. The veggies are so fresh and crispy :
