The Villa, located in a century-old building in Wayland, had a less high-sounding name—The Studio—when it functioned as a speakeasy in the1920s during Prohibition. Today, it prides itself on being "a historic, family-friendly Italian-American establishment” that "specialize in old-school, ‘red-sauce' Italian comfort food.” Although under new ownership and recently renovated, The Villa still is “known for massive portions of chicken parmesan, seafood fra diavolo, and thin, square-cut 'Metro West' pizza.” Appealing craft cocktails from the new, attractive bar legally await you also. Time for Wellesley Neighbors to go back there for dinner again!
