Villa Castrioti - Cordova

Best Italian in Memphis safe! Had the Stracciatella soup and flat bread for appetizers. According to Aron Pullen (owner), all kinds of veil available. Courses four and five were the spaghetti with real meatballs and chicken fatuccin meals accepted! Great food and you can't go wrong for an excellent evening out. Live music with a good southern sound, great mood, new furniture and murals made very good.

We came late into town, and they were friendly enough to accommodate us, although closing was in 10 minutes. Food was delicious!!!

The atmosphere feels like an authentic Italian atmosphere! The service was amazing and punctual, never had to call for service because they already care about things! The Castrioti seafood cellar was so delicious and the seafood was so fresh! This crème brulee was so creamy and the sugar was exactly the right amount bitter to add it! Everything was amazing! If you like authentic Italian food, it is a must to visit spot!

The food was amazing. I came at 20:30 and they were ready to serve me. This was for the first time the patronage of this restaurant and the night did not fail me. I ordered the shrimp sampling and a shrimp Alfredo. Randy and Gracie were very warm! I love the open kitchen too. It is an intimate atmosphere with a good pinch of sports bar. I will definitely be back!

I've been here once before with friends, and our experience this time was just as wonderful as our first. Service was exceptional and I really appreciated not wanting for anything while also having our server not hovering over us. He was very attentive while also not always around. When he was around, he was very pleasant. Our appetizers were the fried cheese ravioli, the roasted salmon, and the shrimp cocktail. The fried cheese ravioli is terrific, and the smoked salmon could easily be its own meal, and not to be shared with a single soul it's that good. It is stop for a moment of silence, savor it good. Then, you get the pizza, topped with pepperoni, peppers, and sausage. Can't ever go wrong there! Their pizza has a thin and crispy crust that crunches with every bite, and their ingredients are so fresh to give the best flavor. I seriously feel you can order anything off of their menu and leave happy. I should have tried my friend's veal tonight, he was in heaven. This place is a favorite of mine and I haven't been this thrilled to be so stuffed in quite a while.
