Amazing staff, amazing food, amazing location. I highly recommend this beautiful place for weddings, parties. The Mother's Day brunch was great yesterday! The Mediterranean chicken was delicious, huge selection of appetizers, entrees and desserts and bottomless mimosas!

Went for a Mothers Day brunch. The staff was very nice and hospitable. But the food selection for a buffet was alittle disappointing. There were WAY TOO MANY people in a single area with little to no separation from you and the next table. I felt like I was in a cafeteria waiting in line.

Amazing food, the penne alla vodka is AMAZING! Best Mother's Day brunch. Such a great variety of dishes, there was something for everyone. Would definitely attend again. Staff was very attentive and the owner was very polite.

We both chose "Sunday Wedding Brunch Package". My wife and I felt very comfortable and relaxed at "A Villa Louisa", and Michelle, our coordinator, was there as well.insuring that our wedding went off without a hitch.and intercepting any problems or issues that might occur. It was very well planned by "A Villa Louisa" between my wife and I. plus our coordinator, Michelle.every step of the way.

We had the freedom to choose our Wedding Cake from a nearby vendor.as well as our flowers being taken care of all a part of the Wedding Package that we both chose as a couple. Pre-planning at the time of COVID.was a MAJOR undertaking and a challenge.and Michelle and Staff were up to make sure things went very smoothly. This insuring both my wife, Maureen and I, that our guests were in a secure and safe environment.

The Food at our Reception Hall was very tasty and had delicious combinations of breakfast foods as well as lunch cuisine as prepared by owner and our chef, Asim Etem. Our guests enjoyed the wide variety of food available.buffet style. such as tasty Omelets, and Home Style Potatoes, and Apple Smoked Bacon and having Prime Rib, Roasted Beef and Chicken Franchise for lunch options.

Open bar was accommodating to us and our guests and the Champagne Mimosas were a nice touch during "Toasts" at our reception. Overall, A very fun and Positive Experience fir both Maureen and I! Highly Recommended for your upcoming Nuptials! -Mr and Mrs Blair StLaurent Married:October 11th 2020

I have held at least 5 parties at A Villa Louisa and I attended the Sunday Brunch many times (preCovid). The staff is amazing and always accommodating and the food is so delicious. My guests have always been pleased with their food & services, which is why I continue to come back. Thank you to the A Villa Louisa staff for always making my events so special and for doing such a great job! I highly recommend them!

We had our company Christmas party here this year. The service, food and staff all are the best! We have had many Christmas parties at many places, but this has been the best food ever! I highly recommend this place for any event you may be considering. Il If for one reason and one reason only, they care!

We had our wedding here on December 12th. Michelle is so easy to work with. We had drag queen entertainment and we loved that Michelle and the staff were enjoying it as well. Beautiful set-up for Christmas time and amazing food.

Somebody's mom or grandma is cooking their ass off at this place. I have been to a wedding there, their Sunday brunches and they catered an work party I have never been disappointed. I also heard they throw a huge holiday party for their community. Very classy.

A beautiful venue for an outdoors ceremony. Folks had to walk a bit from the parking area to the gazebo but it was worth it. Very peaceful and beautiful. The reception indoors was nice and cozy. Our host had a buffet and the food was great. Staff was young, friendly, and upbeat. Overall a great experience by our friends.

I was a little apprehensive attending a wedding here because I have heard of so many mixed reviews. However, it was for love so my husband and I drove the hour drive to get to this little remote venue. Upon arriving we noticed that there were ample amounts of parking spaces and we were able to get a spot right outside the main entrance. The foyer is beautiful but fairly small so it was definitely crammed.

The ceremony was inside of the venue which was fine, except many people were sitting around the room at the tables and I couldn't imagine that to be easy to hear or see. My husband enjoyed the food, I didn't on the other hand. It was an interfaith wedding with two different types of cuisine. One half was catered by Villa Louisa and the other catered by a restaurant of the groom's choice.

I also have been to quite a few weddings and buffet weddings never go smoothly. However, Villa Louisa had it covered. When it was time for my table to go to the buffet tables, half the food was already gone. They were so good about getting more out promptly. Pleasantly surprised with the experience. The service was wonderful so huge shout out to the Villa Louisa staff.

Just had our daughters wedding here this past weekend. The place was set up beautifully with both fireplaces. The food was excellent and our event manager "Harold" was attentive AND funny. Great night all around.

I just hosted a bridal shower at A Villa Louisa in their Sunset Room. I was completely pleased from the beginning of my experience of working out the details with Harold, through the event. Harold was very flexible, guided us well through the menu choices, was very accommodating and very pleasant to work with. On the day of the event, the room and table settings were beautiful, the appetizer plates were lovely, the buffet was bountiful and delicious, the service was excellent, the white sangria was a lovely addition and, most importantly, the bride-to-be had a wonderful day:- It was a perfect setting for her special day! In addition, I thought that the price was a very good value. I am a very selective person and I give A Villa Louisa my highest recommendation.

My girlfriend and I go on Sundays for brunch buffet and invite friends. The food is always excellent. The ambiance is amazing. Its a great place to spend an hour or two catching up when other breakfast places would have a line out the door of people giving you the stink eye while you eat, as they are waiting for your table. Some of our friends we brought have hosted a wedding and two baby showers as a result. All have been incredible so far. Owners are very nice and seemingly always present. I highly recomend for sunday brunch or your next big event.

I came here with my boyfriend for the Sunday brunch and was amazed at the food quality and price! It was only $18 each for an all you can eat buffet and coffee/mimosas. The waffle and omelette bars were great and the food was all fresh and hot. I'd highly recommend a visit in.

Went here for thanksgiving this year and had an awful experience. There were flies everywhere the food was mediocre at best and the service was awful. I had to ask for water 5 times before I actually got it and it was the last sitting of the day and not very busy. Needless to say my family and I will not be coming back.

Beware. Horrible service! A family member recently rented this place for a sweet 16. We informed them in advanced (more than 6 months) that we needed the projector with sound and we find out 4 days before the party that they don't have the cables for sound and that it must be ordered separately, with no guarantee it would arrive on time. I find it hard to believe that an establishment like this is not better prepared unless they are just trying to charge extra.

If that's the case they should have been upfront and we would have gladly paid. The projector was crooked and the staff refused to do anything about it. They also seem to have some kind of electrical issue as every time the master of ceremonies spoke the microphone would cut in and out and sometimes the lights flickered. It was 90 degrees the day of the party but the owners refused to turn on the AC until ALL the guest arrived.

The cake decorator begged for the AC so the frosting wouldn't melt and the owner was rude and just dismissed her. On to the food. We ordered chicken nuggets and fries for the smaller children and they forgot to make it. All the adults finished eating their meals while the kids waiting 35 mins! The staff seemed annoyed every time we ask but come.on we have three year olds waiting all this time!

The fish, mashed potatoes and veggies were delicious but the chicken was dry and over cooked. The overall scene outside is pretty and nice for pictures but that is about it. Unless you want terrible service don't come here.

Absolutely horrible experience. Squished in like sardines on easter sunday. Food was less than expected. Potatoes were best thing on whole buffet. And when I asked 3 times for more of a missing dessert to be brought out it never arrived. Also gratuity was added to our check but not stated on the check. Another complaint the egg hunt for the kids was done right in the middle of the meal. Not worth the 33 bucks a person at all. I will never go back.

I recently visited A Villa Louisa for a friend's baby shower. Located on a serene hill in the middle of a rural neighborhood, it's a picturesque setting for events for sure. I was pleased to see ample parking in the front and back of the building when I arrived. I will say that there are several entrances to the building, and no clear signage, so I ended up walking through another banquet hall where people were having brunch, through a back hallway, and kind of through part of the kitchen to get to the shower. Borderline adventurous entrance.

The decor is definitely old and a bit tired. Though the facility was clean, it just had a dusty, great-aunt vibe, from the wall coverings to the table coverings. In the room where the shower was being held, a table of seemingly store bought pastries and danish was set up. They were tasty, but nothing to write home about. The brunch was salad, waffles, home fries, bacon, scrambled eggs, and chicken.

It all felt a bit disjointed, and hotel breakfast buffet-ish. Again, the food was totally fine, but definitely not memorable. I was thankful they did have a good chipotle hot sauce upon request though. The brunch was also served buffet style in a separate room, which was kind of odd. Overall, not a bad experience. The parents-to-be and other guests made the event absolutely lovely and a wonderful time.

The facility itself however could use a facelift, and greater attention could be paid to elevate the level of the food. I wouldn't mind attending another event here, but I don't think I would put it in the running for an event of my own after this experience.

Really tasty $16.95 brunch on Sundays with free Mimosas. And let me tell you this is a Smorgasborg of food. Omelets made to order, Bacon, Sausage, Homefries, Belgium waffles, fresh roasted carved meats, appetizers, and many main course options to choose from. There is even a dessert table.you shouldn't leave disappointed and you may even have to loosen your pants.

Today was my second time coming for brunch. You should call for reservations since word has gotten out how tasty the food is. They also have theme dinners with dancing for around $30 per person and you can reserve a whole table and have a grand Ole time. I think you might want to get down here and try this place out for yourself.

Went here last night for a private Christmas party with 50 other people. The bar had no atmosphere the lights were too bright no background music or Christmas carols. the liquor and wine selection was dismal as were the tiny wine glasses. It was nothing exceptional actually quite boring except for the finger licking bartender who was eating and serving drinks at the same time.our table in the dining room was near the window with a Glade air freshener sitting in the windowsill?umm scary! don't waste your time not worth the money!

This is an update to the review below and the only complaint from my first visit was not the case this visit, the roast beef was perfect today! I also found that they will make eggs Benedict on request. Honestly how can you go wrong, the waitress was so friendly and attentive and not at all upset that my son and his girlfriend Agnes were late. Again we were a party of six, and no problem at all about splitting up the check. Can't wait to come back again. Sunday Brunch with 2 other couples Villa Louisa is just a hop skip and a jump from our friends house in Marlborough.

For $16.95 a person you get all the mimosas and food you could possibly eat. They have an Omelet station with all the fixings or you can have a simple fried egg. Good home style potatoes, bacon and sausage galore. A carving station with a wonderful ham, sorry to say the turkey and roast beef were over done and dry, but that is my only complaint. So many wonderful foods to try so little room to put it in my tummy. Needless to say I eat way more than I should have. Stuffed shrimp were small but very tasty, fresh fruit salad and oh my goodness dessert!

To die for rich chocolate cake, chocolate covered strawberries, cheese cake and more. You are not going to leave hungery, may need a wheelbarrow to get you out! Oh and the Villa had one of the cleanest ladies rooms I have seen in a long time. Definitely worth the drive!

This shall be known in history as the worst New Year's Eve party! We drove 2hrs from Boston to this middle-of-nowhere restaurant. From outside, it looks nice. It's dark though so anything with lights looks nice. Inside it's below average, pretty worn out. A kitsch waterfall greats you at the entrance. The worst part: the people that claim to throw parties for decades can't seat people properly.

The concept of a "reserved table" is hard to grasp for this restaurant. Well, that's enough to ruin many's fun. Also, food is average at best and hope it's not expired and give me an upset stomach. Lesson learned.

Not sure how my wife & I wandered upon this place. They have a $14.99 brunch buffet w/ free Mimosa or Bellini. The buffet options were solid. Lots of italian specialties from Eggplant Parm to Sausage & Peppers, Chicken Francaise & more. The standard breakfast fare. omelet station, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, waffles w/ strawberries, fruit salad.

A carving station w/ ham & turkey. Desserts including puddings, carrot cake, chocolate covered strawberries.etc. All the food was delicious and the service was attentive. The only drawback is that this place is pretty out of the way, sitting atop a hill on the corner of Glastonbury, Manchester & Bolton.
