Villa di Roma sits among Bella Vista's cluster of old-school Italian spots in South Philadelphia, the kind of dining room where the same faces have been showing up for 30-plus years. The atmosphere leans neighborhood fixture over special occasion, and the food follows suit: homestyle Italian-American cooking built on red gravy, served in portions generous enough to match the fair prices.
Meatballs come up again and again as the dish regulars point to first, alongside chicken bella, mussels in red sauce, and cannoli for dessert. The Infatuation scored Villa di Roma 8.4 out of 10.
