The perfect Sunday isn’t possible without a great breakfast. 🍞🥑🥚
Tonight’s special is pan fried sea bream on a bed of basil risotto, topped with sun blushed tomatoes. 🐟🍅Who’s getting hungry reading this?
Our spicy gnocchi - ‘Nduja sausage, courgette, peppers and wilted rocket. Fresh ingredients prepared with love and care... 🇮🇹
That Caesar dressing though...
Have you tried our unbelievable fillet steak Rossini yet? 🥩
"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one hasn't eaten well" - Italian proverb 🇮🇹
Tonight’s special main is an authentic Lombard treat. Lamb ossobuco with creamed potato, topped with green beans and a basil pesto. Perfezione! 🇮🇹
Salmone strapazzate on crumpets. This is what Sundays were made for. 🥚🍳
We can’t get over this special! Pan fried salmon served with a creamy mushroom and white wine linguini, topped with flat leaf parsley. 🍝
We love seeing photos you’ve taken at Villaggio, keep them coming in! Look at this one from @luciabordi 📸 Be sure to check out her page!

Thanks, Birkdale. You’re the best. 9️⃣0️⃣0️⃣
This Eggs Arlington should make your Monday a bit easier 😉 Quick reminder, we are opening at 10 today, not 9. Have a great day!
Fancy a cosy night in tonight? Then why not pick up one of our takeaways? 🍕
Remember when this was our cheesecake of the day? Well it was so good we’ve made it a permanent dessert! Chocolate and salted caramel with clotted cream ice cream. 🎂
It’s exactly one year since we were featured in The Sunday Times Magazine. We’d just like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped us get there. You’re the best!
We had a great time...delicious food and a very friendly welcome �
We ate at Villagio Cucina Friday evening, the atmosphere in Birkdale Village was fantastic with the Open Golf Championship being on. The restaurant was very busy as would be expected but the service was 1st class as always the lady that took our order Martha was lovely and very knowledgeable. We have eaten at Villagio Cucina many times we celebrated our sons 21st birthday here and my mums 80 th Birthday too, and have always had good food and service. We will certainly be back here soon as we love this restaurant and all the staff who work so hard especially Lorna, Annalise and Mike.
Second visit already planning our next.
Family get together all ages , staff were great drinks service was quick .
The food 🥘 was purfect I had starter , main and a dessert (we did spend a lot of time there) friendly staff , would recommend this place to anybody .
Cheers guys 😀
Just been for a girly catch up and the food/service was excellent. A lovely morning spent with lovely company, great food and good service. Will be back soon
I'm sat here now after having my meal while my girlfriend makes the noises she used to make because of me, because she's savouring every bite of her calzone. Think she'd leave me for the chef if she knew him....
I was here with an old friend that I had not seen for 32 years so our Reunion was at the Villagio. Staff were very attentive and friendly, and we were not rushed at all despite that it was starting to get busy by 8pm. Restaurant was full, food was excellent and we had a very relaxing night catching up.
I visited this fabulous restaurant for a birthday lunch on 15th February with my son. We were staying in Southport and I did a Google search and it came up. As I was driving could only have one glass of Pinot Grigio. I had the sea bream with linguine which was delicious and my son had sausage mash and gravy. Managed an exquisite creme brulée for dessert. I liked the way that it appealed to families, women ordering a second bottle of wine (said with a degree of envy)! and couples. Would definitely come here again when visiting Southport and try the different gins.
I can’t recommend this place enough! 5/5 😁
Have been here a number of times and have never been disappointed. We've had Birthday celebrations, Anniversaries, Mother's day celebrations or just dropped in for a quick bite. Staff are helpful, friendly and polite. Food always great. Would definitely recommend trying here.
Had my birthday meal here last night. Was delicious and such friendly helpful staff, thankyou
Had my 50th Birthday here a few weeks ago. Food and atmosphere were fantastic. Writing this review sitting outside having just had lunch and a glass of wine. Highly recommend coming here
Great atmosphere, lasagne, pizza, vegetarian meal for one of our friends and duck breast. We were all delighted with our choices. The desserts and the wine equally as good. Will definitely be back.
Fantastic food worth the mile out of the main Southport parade to enjoy amazing service and superb food � ����
Called in late Saturday afternoon for an early tea and enjoyed a beautiful meal that hit ALL the right spots. A lovely restaurant with excellent attentive staff. Have enjoyed a number of meals here and each has been first class. Clean tables, great food and excellent surroundings, what more could you ask for. Happily recommend Villaggio Cucina to anyone who would like to experience an enjoyable meal �
A regular haunt. Always a good atmosphere in here. Food is excellent for the price and some nice wines on the menu again at very reasonable prices. Staff friendly and attentive on the times I've eaten there.
Lovely food , the lasagne was delicious & my chicken salad was yummy
Food was lovely but it was very noisy to the point we could not hear ourselves speak also staff were very busy too busy as we ran out of drinks had to find a waitress for dessert and went elsewhere for coffee
Food was lovely and very quick out, however the staff could use some work, too busy chatting to check on our table and when we came to the bar to order our own drinks we were handed a bill instead, took our custom elsewhere. Ps a smile never hurt anyone
Went for a hen party meal An was treated appalling ! Ordered the duck bare in mind it's £21 and the waitress asked me how I'd like it cooked. I then said pink please. .. when my meal finally came it was very well done, I explained I couldn't eat it as I didn't like it like that An asked for it to be pink. They then rudely took my plate away An another half an hour passed I asked when my meal was by the point all the girls had finished there food! They then brought me completely raw duck an I was just disgusted. Somewhere that I use to recommend an go a lot. Now I wouldn't go again !
