About VILLA ROMANA Italian & Romanian Restaurant
Our sophisticated, high energy Italian & Romanian restaurant pays tribute to Jim Durfy, a veteran of the South Florida restaurant scene who opened the original Rainbo Cafรฉ in 1933. The Rainbo served as a casino & nightclub during the years following the Prohibition era. The place attracted a well-healed and notorious crowd, said to include Al Capone and his cronies. The famous cafรฉ would also write its own chapter in Hollywoodโs history by appearing in Martin Scorseseโs thriller โCape Fearโ starring Nick Nolte & Robert DeNiro.
VILLA ROMANA Italian & Romanian Restaurant is an italian restaurant in Hollywood, Florida. It is listed at 1909 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, FL 33020, which places it among the local businesses of Hollywood that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as romanian restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.
In Hollywood, family-run Italian places are busiest on weekend evenings and around holidays, when reservations or call-ahead seating are worth it. BYOB is common at smaller restaurants in some states, with a modest corkage fee or none at all; the listing or a quick call will tell you. Wing-and-pizza shops across Florida do most of their business by delivery and price wings by the piece or in fixed counts, with sauce heat adjustable on request. Catering trays, party pizzas and sheet pies need a day's notice at most places, and more around big game days.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 12โ11 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach VILLA ROMANA Italian & Romanian Restaurant at (954) 251-3698; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is villaromanarestaurant.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
Customers rate it 4.7 out of 5 on Google across 1,407 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded italian restaurants in Hollywood.
Hollywood is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Hollywood follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Came for an early dinner. The restaurant is absolutely stunning with a very elegant atmosphere and our waitress was nice. Unfortunately, the food fell short. The portions were decent but everything lacked flavor. The pasta had some truffle flavor but the pasta itself was chewy and the chicken was dry. The other dish we were under the assumption it was supposed to have beef and pork, but was essentially just one sausage. The texture made it taste like something straight from a microwave. Beautiful restaurant and great service but unfortunately the food wasnโt worth it for the price.

The service overall was good, and I want to start by acknowledging that. However, there was one situation that ultimately changed my entire experience. I ordered the fried calamari because it is one of my favorite dishes, and I really enjoy it when it is prepared well. Unfortunately, that wasnโt the case here. The calamari looked as though it had been too wet before frying: the coating was pale, soggy, not crispy, and in some areas seemed to be separating from the calamari. On top of that, it was practically flavorless. In my opinion, good fried calamari should be enjoyable on its own: properly seasoned, with the delicate flavor of the calamari still coming through and a light, crispy exterior. You shouldnโt have to dip it in tomato sauce just to make it taste like something. The sauce should complement the dish, not be responsible for giving it all of its flavor. When I told the busser that he could take the calamari away and tried to explain why I wasnโt eating it, he practically left me mid-sentence and told me that I needed to speak to the server about it. Maybe he simply didnโt fully understand what I was trying to say, so I didnโt make a big deal out of it and just asked hi

Kristina is, without a doubt, the best server and one of the kindest people Iโve ever met. She made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. We came to watch the World Cup Final between Argentina and Spain, and she made the whole atmosphere even more special. She was attentive, friendly, and always had a smile on her face, even though the place was busy. Her outstanding service truly made our night unforgettable. If youโre lucky enough to have Kristina as your server, youโre in for an incredible experience. Thank you, Kristina, for making such a memorable night even better. We canโt wait to come back!

Villa Romana exceeded all my expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was elegant, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing dinner. The service was outstanding friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the entire evening. We started with the Burrata appetizer, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. For the main course, I ordered the Lobster Ravioli, and it was absolutely amazing. The ravioli was perfectly cooked, generously filled with lobster, and served in a rich, creamy sauce that was full of flavor. Every bite was outstanding. The mushroom pasta was also creamy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The presentation of every dish was beautiful, and you can truly tell they care about quality and every detail. If youโre looking for authentic Italian food, exceptional service, and a wonderful dining experience, Villa Romana is a must-visit. Highly recommended! I will definitely be back. โญ๐ฎ๐น
