Reviews for Villari's Lakeside Restaurant in Sicklerville, NJ

I had my wedding here on 9.18.22 and it was a fabulous experience from beginning to end. I worked with Isabella and Jackie... assisted with my rehearsal. The communication was great and Isabella made sure it was a stress free experience. Jackie made surevisitors at the tiki bar were very quiet during my ceremony. I told Isabella she now has a friend for life. She is amazing andmy whole family loved her. There was a little delay with food in between courses but it didn’t make or break the night. Iwould highly recommend having any event here. Read more

When searching for a special place to dine for a 50th anniversary I viewed this restaurant. The pictures were beautiful and... the reviews mixed. So last night we decided to check it out. I’m sorry to say we won’t be back. While The outdoor view wasbeautiful, the food was just okay and came with a price that said it would be special. Unfortunately it was very ordinary ifnot below par and sure didn’t deserve the price tag. Customers beware. Read more

Had our event at Villari’s mainly because I’ve always loved their food and the ambiance is really nice! I would rate the... food 5 stars- it’s definitely delicious and made the event memorable because of that. We had lovely photos at the outdoorvenue! The servers were very accommodating and easy to work with. But we had terrible experience with some of the staff outfront. They weren’t very friendly and wouldn’t answer you professionally. My friend simply asked if we could do somethingabout the table cloth being blown away (ie put a rock or something) and their answer was “well we offered you indoor venue andyou declined”. I don’t feel that’s a professional answer at all. I hardly felt they like to help you, it’s like you’rebeing a bother. I cant help but also point out there’s not even an office when paying for venue/catering or conductingbusiness, the staff didn’t even offer a sit to obviously pregnant or at least offer water at the very least. Just very poorprofessionalism and I wish this review is taken seriously, it could very well improve your business overall, at the end of theday exceptional service from staff is just as important as the food you serve.

Overpriced, if you want to get ripped off eat and order drinks at the outside bar/dining area. They serve you $12 mixed drinks... in a small plastic cup gtfoh. Will never go again and would never recommend to anyone Read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. There is a lot to choose from on the menu. We ordered fried mozzarella for an... appetizer and the waitress brought bread and an olive oil plate to the table. Whatever was in the oil was really flavorful. Thefried mozzarella was ok, it was a little too bready and the coating was oily. I ordered pasta purses with marinara andmeatballs for my dinner. The flavor was average. The pasta purses were too big for a bite full but not big enough to cut inhalf. Aside from the food, the service was below average. Our waitress was not attentive and didn’t seem to know much aboutthe menu and the availability of items. We even asked her to find out what they had on tap and she wouldn’t do it. She justkept reiterating the basics of what she remembered. I had to ask twice for boxes to pack up the left overs. She did not ask usif we wanted coffee or dessert. I asked for a cappuccino and I got a tepid drink that was not what was described on themenu. Finally, we get the bill and in the total they had added a 20% gratuity in the amount due. I have never seen a place addin the gratuity without telling us they were doing that. So she can be as bad a server as she wants and she is still guaranteeda 20% gratuity? I don’t agree with that. I would’ve wanted to go back and try something else from the menu but with themtelling me how much I’m going to tip will prevent me from returning. Read more

Went late night to the Tiki Bar! Had a couple of drinks enjoyed a nice vibe. Definitely have to remember here for a nice place... to end the evening Back again for Valentines Day, we didn't dine in but everything was packed and was still hot when it gothome!!
