  Outstanding quiet, classic Italian restaurant. It is no wonder why it has been around for so long and will likely be around for much longer.

  Picked up mom over at North Shore Towers for a Birthday dinner. Although she'd lived there for years she had never been to Villa D'Este nearby and was thrilled that we picked a spot she hadn't already been to a thousand times. Quick 5 minute drive, easy parking out back. Beautiful, reserved ambience, relaxed, professional service with a very pleasant greeting. Nice comped bruschetta and some really excellent house pinot and chiantis, generously poured at only $10/glass. Awesome bread basket with red hot, house baked foccacia to start things off. The starters, memorably the baked clams, stuffed mushrooms and a pitch perfect Caesar were all on point. Mains were generously portioned and all outstanding; standouts were the first rate, thin, crisp veal parm, the grilled angus/NY Strip ordered Pizzaiaola (smothered in mixed peppers, onions, mushrooms and red gravy), the pastas and the fish. Mom had the Prix Fixe which was an absolute steal at $31, three courses plus sides included! The tartuffo dessert was the best I'd ever had, a perfect chocolate covered Bocce Ball stuffed with cherries and nuts, dressed with house made whipped cream. Wow. As a 3d Generation New Yorker, now living in Brooklyn it was nice to escape the rip-offs and pretensions of Manhattan and Brooklyn dining and to enjoy a delicious, reasonably priced relaxed meal at a place which still values "hospitality". Villa D'Este is approaching it's 50th Anniversary. In an extremely competitive, fickle dining environment it's easy to see why they've lasted so long.
