Il Villaggio (We’re Back!)

Finally able to dine outside, we visited Il Villaggio, 211 Berlin Road, Cherry, Hill, NJ 08034 (856-795-1778), with friends Karin and George, on Friday, June 19, 2020. So happy to enjoy a 3 hour leisurely lunch again.

Hot, fresh bread was brought to the table, with tomato pesto. So good.


Ken enjoyed the Broccoli Rabe Sausage, sautéed in a roasted garlic olive oil, with grape tomatoes. Jay and George enjoyed 6 Blue Point Oysters each, which were fresh and delicious. Yummy!




Karin enjoyed the cucumber gazpacho, which was perfect for this warm day.



Entrees enjoyed:

Jay focused on the Veal Mare Monte, with jumbo lump crabmeat, spinach, roasted peppers, white wine, in a citrus lemon sauce, with capellini. Very good.


Ken had the Chicken Parmigiana with a side of scallops, which were cooked to perfection.


Karin enjoyed the pasta special - ravioli.


George enjoyed the homemade gnocchi with porcini cream sauce.



We finished our meal with cannolis (Karin and George) and strawberry gelato (Jay).



Wines enjoyed:






We were so happy to be able to get together for lunch again. Dining al fresco was wonderful!
