Come to Villaggio Italian Bistro, where you are treated like family.
Why go for half measures when you can have authentic Italian cuisine in a quality Italian restaurant? According to the National Restaurant Association, 63% of consumers would rather spend on an experience than purchase an item. So, people are looking for an experience, not just food. Not all restaurants are the same quality as you may well know. What then should you look for when choosing where to enjoy your pasta?
Before choosing a place to eat, do some market research. You can ask your friends and family if they know of any good Italian restaurants in town. For example, if you live in Detroit, find people who have visited Detroit's Italian restaurants and ask for reviews. Or, you can search the "Best Italian Restaurants in Detroit" on Google to find the right place. Also, reading reviews from past users online can be helpful. To do so, you can visit a restaurant's social media pages, visit their website, or simply check their Google My Business rankings.
It looks cool, but in an Italian restaurant with pictures on the menu? A good pasta restaurant menu impresses customers with excellent service, not pictures of delicious meals. Pictures mean that the restaurant is playing with human psychology and tempting customers to order very expensive food.
As for the menu, an authentic Italian restaurant usually serves only Italian dishes. Also, if the menu is translated into dozens of other languages, it means the restaurant caters to tourists or people who don't normally eat Italian. So choose a place that exudes a truly Italian vibe, serving only authentic Italian food, with a menu that seems to be reserved for Italian nationalists only.
The best thing about Italian food is that it differs from region to region, and even from city to city within the same area. For example, Venetian cuisine is very different from Roman cuisine. However, throughout Italy, one thing remains the same and that is the use of fresh and seasonal ingredients. Then you'll know that a restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine if you can find seasonal ingredients on the menu.
Nothing beats an authentic Italian restaurant. Do not be taken in by second-rate restaurants that advertise with pictures or have other food with Italian cuisine. Stick to the real thing.
