I have been eating here for some time and each time is always great. Plenty of food choices for everyone in the group and the service is always professional and friendly. Being located at the wharf there are plenty of shops around to shop at or satisfy your sweet tooth. Also, the walk along the water is nice especially around sunset.

Excellent service, amazing food, and a great vibe! We went in on a week night and the bar was absolutely packed, I watched from our table and could tell from watching the bartender that he is a really good one. Our server was so accommodating and personable! I hate that I don't recall her name bc I'd love to get her a shout out. We were a little underdressed and she treated us no differently than any other table. We had the crab cake app and the focaccia. And for entrees the scallops and pappardelle. Crab cake dish is very well conceived and every element went well together. We devoured it. The bread and the olive tapenade dipping oil with it was a nice touch. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was so good, very balanced. The scallops themselves needed a little improvement on the cook (two were cooked perfectly, two needed a harder sear) but the dish overall was WONDERFUL. Lemon beurre blanc was perfection. The whole vibe of the restaurant was cozy and classy but not stuffy. We have recommended visiting to others and we will absolutely be back in the future!

The food was great, wine list offered several nice options and the cocktails were nicely crafted. We were pleasantly surprised and visited them several times during our recent stay at The Wharf. Sarah was very attentive and helpful.

My husband and I had dinner here and the food was excellent. He had the Chicken Pesto Pizza and I had the Seafood pasta and both were pretty delicious. The atmosphere was amazing and our server Bailey was very attentive and friendly.

At Villaggio Grille, the Truffle Oil and Sausage Pizza is a standout. The truffle oil gives the pizza a rich, earthy flavor, and the sausage adds a nice, savory kick. The salmon is cooked perfectly—tender and flavorful—and the risotto is creamy and delicious. The short rib bruschetta with carrot is a great combination of flavors; the sweet carrot and savory short rib blend together really well. Overall, the meal was fantastic, with each dish offering something unique and tasty. Definitely worth trying!

This is our favorite place at The Wharf. They have great food and atmosphere. We had a great Valentine’s Day dinner and the special menu was fantastic. Management really takes an interest in the customers, taking time to talk to them and get to know them. This personal touch adds a wonderful dimension to the experience. We love having a more upscale yet still casual place to eat at the Wharf.

This is a great restaurant for fresh locally caught seafood. I had a delicious (and gluten free) sea scallops dish with spinach and peach risotto and a lemon beurre blanc sauce. This is a must try restaurant if you are in the area!
