Villa Berulia is the first restaurant I've gotten to try in my visit to New York and it was a great choice! I absolutely love how lowkey the entrance is, if you're not paying attention you may miss it. The inside is relaxed and intimate. Their wine selection was plentiful and precise, I really appreciate they put what type of wine each glass is instead of just "White wine, red wine, etc." Additionally, our food was delicious. Coming from Portland, I've been lucky to have so many amazing Italian restaurants in my neighborhood and Villa Berulia brought me right back to those restaurants with authentic, delicious pasta. The service was a standout as well. Attentive and friendly, and I appreciated how they allowed the table to eat and talk. I recommend!

Grabbed a last minute reservation here on a Saturday night and was blown away by the experience. Every single employee was incredibly gracious, kind, and helpful. The service was extraordinary. The food and drinks were all delicious and fairly affordable by NYC standards. The ambience was dark and quiet, a perfect place for an intimate dinner with family or friends. Cannot recommend enough!

Visiting New York from Hawaii! My family and I enjoy coming to eat, play, and shop. Villa Berulia is an Italian restaurant with a friendly family style atmosphere which we loved. The restaurant was clean and polished. The service was excellent! Pedro was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with the menu. They have a great selection on the menu and cocktails & wine. The food was well prepared, presented, & delicious! Steve, the Manager, came to our table and greeted us and thanked us for coming to Villa Berulia to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Overall, it was a wonderful experience all around! We will definitely come back here again on our next trip to NYC!❤️

A Midtown classic, Villa Berulia never disappoints. I've been here a handful of times and the service and food have been second to none! This time around I came with my good friend and my godson for Friday dinner. We started off with a plate of fried calamari. It's probably the best calamari in town! As the main dish I had to get that night's special which was a lamb shank with a side of gnocchi. The meat fell off the bone, and the sauce was unbelievable! The icing on the cake was a nice complimentary glass of Limoncello and small cookies. A nice touch. Pro-tip: Villa Berulia is a great place for dinner or lunch before heading to a concert or sports event at MSG or before or after a visit to the Empire State Building!

What a discovery! A friend invited me to “drinks in the neighborhood” and it turned out to be Villa Berulia. Since I’m new to this part of the city, I wasn’t familiar with it, I’m sorry to say. But I CAN say that I am hooked. They have a sauce they use for the meatballs and more that’s out of this world. Only stayed long enough to taste a simple pizza, a plate of cocktail meatballs and a cheese and meat board. Each was delish and a step above most Italian places I’ve eaten at in the city. Great service and a family atmosphere (owned and operated by the same family for 42 years!) made it extra special. I can’t wait to return for a full meal — and another review.

Highly recommend!! I ate at a lot of places in nyc but this was probably my favorite. Maybe one of the best Italian dinners I have ever had. The service here was incredible everyone was so positive and helpful. They had the best service I have ever experienced in any restaurant! The food was incredible and everything tasted really fresh. The prices were reasonable for the great quality. The ambience was also very nice. If your nearby I definitely suggest making the trip!!

If you’re working in Midtown, this place is located well.. right next to Park Avenue where a lot of offices reside.. very tough to locate this from outside. The name boards outside are small and not striking.., The inside of the restaurant was great. Perfect and ideal for official meetings and get together.., the ambience is cozy and there are lots of tables inside to sit and eat . Service was OK. A pricey restaurant .. minimum vegetarian and vegan options but I’m glad that at least had it.. got her ravioli pasta vegan for about $30! It had tomato basil sauce on top and tasted good.. very pricey though.. other got fish and chicken dishes, which they liked. Cost them $35-$40 for a chicken or fish dish… Overall liked the food but it’s an upscale restaurant and not for all. Good experience . 4 stars . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you want to pay to be conveniently comfortable disregarding a true foodie experience , this is the place. It caught my attention after reading several reviews in TripAdvisor, over there people gush about their “outstanding service, delicious food and very reasonable prices for NYC”. I don’t know, I do t think they’ve eaten out in the city a lot because to me it rings like tourist talk, doesn’t it? Sometimes a place is just too… nice. I genuinely don’t think anyone eats here twice. I mean, if you wanted to, you’d go back to something real not this Midtown polished-to-a-shimmer joint. I don’t know… it was absolutely flat. Not worth the hype or expensive prices at all. The service was excellent and the ambience was nice. Too bad the food isn’t.

It's a big disappointment! We had dinner at this restaurant yesterday. I ordered seafood pasta for myself, and my girlfriend ordered baked salmon. The sauce in the salmon dish was delicious, but here the ge was baked and steamed, which ruined the whole dish. But at least it could be eaten. The pasta I ordered was not possible to eat at all! It didn't taste good, and the shells were washed well, so there was a lot of sand in the paste! I ended up leaving hungry and going somewhere else to eat. Wasted time and money!
