La Villa Restaurant & Pizzeria

Went once when I first moved into the neighborhood. My wife is a vegetarian and we had to custom order something for her to eat. The waitress didn't seem to understand why she didn't want any meat with her dish. As it stood the food was just ok. Later we decided to give it a second chance. The food was once again just flat - no twists, no complexity, no surprises. This time they seated us near the door that led to the banquet hall which was host to an event where music was blasting to the point where the bleed through din was distracting. When we asked if anyone could ask the party to turn it down a notch we basically got shrugs - it is there party. We won't be going back there again.

A casual restaurant experience with a menu selection of mainly Italian and American. Get the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich on Garlic Bread. Seriously Good. Other recommendations...

Calzone Too much for one person. Its HUGE and TASTEY!

Thin Crust Pizza Chicago is known for pizza and this one ranks with the best.

If youre near Pulaski and Irving Park I highly recommend this spot.
