About Villa di Badia

Villa di Badia delivers an intimate slice of Italy to Brighton Road with rich cooking and familial warmth. Regulars return for the hospitable rhythm—the owner working the room, remembering past tables, and recommending bottles without pretense. The kitchen backs it up with serious comfort, dishing up arancini, tender calamari, and generous bowls of porcini ravioli enrobed in truffle and gorgonzola sauce. Dinner winds down naturally with house tiramisu, tableside check-ins from the chef, and a chilled pour of limoncello.

  • Owner-Led Hospitality: The owner greets guests by name, recalls past visits, suggests wine pairings, and introduces the chef tableside.
  • Rich Specialty Pastas: Generous plates of porcini ravioli in a rich truffle and gorgonzola sauce anchor a traditional multi-course dinner.
