About this place Villaggio

Villaggio is a mainstream, gay-friendly Italian restaurant at 36 Canal Street, in the middle of Manchester's Gay Village. The menu sticks to classics like steak, penne amatriciana and chicken crêpes, and the set menu is the best-value option. It's a useful place to eat before a night in the Village bars around it. Reviews are strong at about 4.6 from over a thousand ratings. Our listed hours (closed Thursday to Saturday, open Sunday to Wednesday) are unusual for a Canal Street restaurant and may be out of date. Check the restaurant's website or call before you go.

Veal tasted like it was not cooked to order. It tasted like it was reheated or overcooked. The server looked as if she had more tables than she could service

My husband and I had a great dinner at Villaggio Ristorante. We ordered the Calamari Fritti, Linguine ai Frutti di Mare, and the Risotto Villaggio, and everything was delicious. The seafood was fresh, the flavors were great, and the portions were generous. Our server, Laura, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the meal. We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

In my honest opinion, Villagios is the best Italian restaurant in NH. It can compete with most of the spots in Boston's North End at a fraction of the cost. They do the classics perfectly and always have amazing specials. My wife and I love this place. Perfect for any occasion.
