Always freshly made, the staff are friendly and helpful. Love going here for the Italian ambience and music. The food is always hot and delicious.The desserts are delicious, the wine is plentiful. They give you homemade bread sticks every time. The dinner rolls are always hot, fresh and scrumptious. I like their house dressing. It's not just oil and vinegar. They've got a few specials, but my favorite dish is the Chicken ala Mafia. If you're craving pizza, the Villa Ballanca special can't be beat.

True authentic Italian food! We always bring friends here when they are visiting from out of state. We are proud to bring them to villa ballanca to enjoy such amazing food with very generous portions! The chicken Romano is one of our favorite things to order.

Neighborhood Gem - Went out here this evening with 4 other family members (been coming here for years and plan to come back again). We enjoyed good food and had a good time. Overall I rate it 4.4 out of 5 for the food and 5 out of 5 on service.We arrived at 6 PM in the restaurant was packed. However, even though they were extremely busy our wait person was very attentive, got us our drinks quickly and checked in frequently. Food was good to very good - everyone started off with fresh salads and we had a couple of bowls of the wedding soup. Salads were fresh wedding soup was very good 5 out of 5 on the soup. Dish 1: fettuccine à la carbonara - huge portion just as described in the menu (not traditional carbonara, but an alfredo version) rich, filling, tasty 4.5 out of 5. Dish 2: linguine Pescatore with scallops, shrimp, muscles and clams - seafood was all cooked perfectly, dish was great where seafood was highlighted and not the sauce ( if I had a critique, the sauce was a bit watery and could’ve used a pinch more seasoning) but it was very good 4.5 out of 5. Dish 3: vegetarian calzone was cooked well tasted great and the sauce was excellent which bumps the overall rating to 4.6 out of 5 (the filling seemed a tad light on mozzarella but the sauce made up for it) Dish 4: raspberry chicken, I did not try this but I heard it was great and would get it again if they came back. 5 out of 5. Dish 5: chicken Parmesan chicken was cook well pasta was done well and 4.5 out of 5.This place is a great value when you consider the combination of the quality, service, and price.We will be back!!!

My new favorite place to go in the new kensington/lower burrell area. Great portions and great service. Owner is extremely nice and always greets people. If you are hungry I believe the Large Sicilian pizza could easily feed a family of 6 ?

Only had takeout, but girlfriend's family has been coming here for years. I live far away and when out here, we don't get out much. I was incredibly impressed with the food and staff. Benny the owner was awesome and even bought me a Peroni while I waited for takeout when he found out it was my first time to his establishment. This all while they were pretty much at full capacity. Had stuffed rigatoni, lobster ravioli, chicken romano and a kids pizza and chicken tenders and fries for the Littles. Everything was incredible. The pink sauce is incredible and the meat sauce is robust and bold but subtle to anyone with acid reflux. Chicken Romano and their breading overall was awesome. Extremely well done. Thank you.

My husband got a blonde hair in his salad. We have dark hair so it was ours. Not one waitress had their hair pulled back. My husband and our friend had veal parm. It was good. I had the chicken Piccata, it was awful. It was boiled chicken strips and broccoli thrown over pasta with chicken broth. Look up the recipe on line. No where near the actual dish. Not the first time there. We tried to give it a chance. The place was so loud there you couldn't have a normal conversation .
