Service was slow in a mostly empty restaurant and the food was below average. Given the cost, I recommend taking your business elsewhere.

Nice and cozy - my veal piccata was great - moscato slightly overpriced and no menu with drinks

Loved everything about this place! Quality now and as far back as we can remember! We had Alfredo with chicken, chicken Marmalade and linguine with classic. All were excellent.

Upscale Italian place with delicious food and not too ridiculous pricing. It was empty when we were there, but the staff was very professional and the food was to die for! Would definitely recommend for small to medium groups.

Been going here longer than I've been married, but always with the same girl. They're still both great.

Great place. Went on a Friday night so it was busy and it took a while for us to get served but our server was friendly and happy to answer questions. The restaurant was a bit loud, but there was a large party in the restaurant that were also loud so that didn't help. Great good though

This is a gem of an Italian restaurant in Sunnyvale 5 stars across the board from the food to service you will not be disappointed

The restaurant was not busy at all. We went on a Tuesday eccentric at about 630. The service was terribly slow. From placing our drink order to placing our dinner order. The menu says to ask about the seafood specials, which I did and was told there are none. Ok.no big deal. I was in the mood for seafood so I was looking at the steamed clams and the Chiopino.then a good there were no clams. I ordered a linguini dish. The food was good. We never got drink refills during our dinner. The waiter cleared away our plates. Had to wait an additional 30 minutes to even get the check. Honestly, while the food was good, I probably won't be back. There are other great Italian restaurants in the area that have much better service and equally good food.

I think the worst Italian food I have had in South Bay Area. The vibe is very dull (I am a fan of rustic places but this one was just too somber) Waiter was in a hurry. And needlessly expensive. No value for the money they charge. Never going here

Food is terrible. We sent our food back and the replacement was worse! This place should have closed in the 50's when they opened. If you're thinking about trying it, it's not worth it. Go somewhere where you can enjoy your meal! I've been to Italy and swear Olive Garden is more appealing.

The staff seems to be trying hard but the food doesn't taste good at all. The fried artichokes would taste better if they changed the oil and not reused it over and over again to a point where the top layer gets so dark from being refried. The pizza was mediocre at best and the salad dressing didn't have much flavor either. The house red wine was like water. Overall, it was a disappointing meal we paid more than $100 for. They have space and scope for better ambience. If they focused on improving the food flavors, they would beat other pizzerias in the area. Maybe send someone to try out Doppio Zero's pizzas, they set a very high bar.

It took me 25 years to finally go to Pezzella's and it was my loss to not go sooner. Sampled the cheese pizza, Meat Ball sandwich, and the Chicken Parmigiana sandwich (off-menu). All were delicious, including their tater-tots. The marinara on the sandwich was tasty without being too salty, the roll had a good balance of crustiness and softness. The cheese on the cheese pizza had a wonderful smokiness to it; maybe a touch of Provolone? Next time, we'll order pizza as a main course and I'll post notes on that. The service was attentive, helpful, and didn't rush at all. I can highly recommend Pezzella's.

Tasty Italian comfort food. I like the fettuccine alfredo and the rigatoni with meat sauce, along with the grilled chicken. The takeout orders with Slice work well, though sometimes it takes a little longer than the expected pickup time.

I also appreciate that they've been around since 1957. There's something special about a restaurant that can be part of the community for so long.

Went here for the first time the other week. Had a really enjoyable meal (chicken parmesan with a side of fettuccine Alfredo). The food and service were great - definitely coming back.

My family has been going to Villa Napoli since they opened. It was always a treat when my parents' took us there. I haven't been in at least 30 years, maybe closer to 35.

My siblings and I are all in town, so this is where we went to dinner last night. We were not disappointed. They shared a Big Vinnie's (and, of course, I had a slice). I had forgotten how good their crust is!

I had the manicotti. It was not remarkable, but it was delicious, nonetheless. We each had a salad, and the blue cheese dressing tastes the same as it did when I was a kid. It's what got me to love salad.
