Villa Palma At The Village - Cocoa

We had a fantastic experience tonight at Villa Palma! We arrived without a reservation, and the hostess kindly seated us a little away from others since our baby was sleeping in his car seat. We didn't even have to request it! Our waitress, Lyndsey, was truly exceptional! She checked in on us frequently throughout the night, which really enhanced our experience. Having traveled around the world, we can honestly say this is one of the best Italian restaurants we've ever visited! We feel so fortunate to have discovered this hidden gem while we were in town for the day! We will definitely be back!

Wow! What an amazing discovery! The ambiance was wonderful as we entered, and we were greeted with fantastic service at the bar. The cocktails are expertly crafted rather than just mixed. The food was absolutely fabulous, starting with fresh bread and followed by a Caesar salad with their homemade dressing. We also tried two veal dishes, both of which were outstanding. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but it’s an absolute gem!

Amazing bar with unique and distinctive Italian dishes. The atmosphere is fantastic—try to get a seat in the wine cellar for a truly enjoyable ambiance!

For the first time on Father's Day with my family. The staff was very friendly and helped us get some articles. The warm bread and oil and cheese bath was delicious. Finally decent bread in Florida. We started ordering fried Calamari. It was light and crisp with a sprinkle of black pepper. Very fresh and perhaps the best dish we had for the evening. The Marinara diving sauce was very good and also serves really hot. My wife had the fish. A very thick and delicate Chillean Sea Bass over a bed Risotto. The fish was excellent, but the risotto was too salty so it was difficult to eat. My son had the Penne A la vodka and he added shrimps. It tasted good, but the penne was over boiled and the sauce was a bit too wet. We prefer Al dente. The 5 shrimps were large and delicate. I had the fillet tips pipino that contain a big sausage. Beef was tender, but half was too rare for me. Instead of sending it back, I decided to go as I was full in any case. This court was rough for me, because it was very spicy that I would have read the description, so I can't mistake the preparation. The sausage was not my pleasure either. No court I'd get back. We ended up with two desserts, a disc Tirumisu, which was well tasted but frozen in the middle, so not sure whether it was made there. The Cannolis, served three on a dish were thick crisp and filled fresh, but the cream had little taste and not what we expected, given the owner NY background. We missed what we could get in Little Italy in NY. The cappacino of my wife was very good as the unsweetened iced tea, served groundless. All in all a nice dinner, with live piano players near the waterfront in Cocoa Village. For the price, we had better in NY, but above average for Florida. We will give them another attempt and hopefully get more consistency with our decisions. A total of 3.5 stars if that was a choice, based on our decisions.

We?ve been to Villa Palma 3 times in the last 8 weeks as it has quickly become our favorite place! The inside is beautiful with a great ambiance, especially the piano player. The fresh flowers on the table are such a great touch. My personal favorites are a whipped ricotta dish as an appetizer special and entree is a beautiful shrimp with goat milk Alfredo, also a daily special. But everything we?ve tried has been absolutely delicious! Our server Megan was wonderful and went the extra mile for our second visit for me and my twin sister?s birthday. So nice and polite! We will be back soon! Hopefully will try drinks and appetizers this weekend.
