Villa Italia is an amazing bakery and makes the most delicious cakes! I had 3 types of cake for my wedding and they have unique fillings for cakes and if you have the reception at Mallozzi's you get a discount or even a cake with the package! Highly recommend this bakery!

We absolutely LOVED our wedding cake from Villa Italia bakery. Many of our guests have commented that it was the best wedding cake they've had in a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed our planning meeting with Tricia at the bakery. We got to try all of the possible combinations, and when I didn't see what I wanted (almond mousse), they were able to accommodate. We chose their butter cream frosting which is delicious. I highly recommend Villa Italia!

Villa Italia designed a custom Dale Earnhardt Jr. cake for my wedding day. It wasn't important for me to have the tradtional cake, I wanted my cake to represent my husband. Villa did an excellent job and used my specifications perfectly. The cake looked amazing and the taste was even better.

We did a taste test, and we used their facebook page to find a cake that we liked. The staff was very responsive to our needs. The cake was great, and looked fantastic! The only thing I wish was different is they had done a better job on my Dallas Cowboy's Grooms Cake. Overall we were very pleased with their work, and the flavors! Definitely a hit among our guests!

Villa Italia goes out of their way to provide EXCELLENT service. We booked our cake tasting, got to try 3-4 different types of cake, another 5-7 different types of filling, and another 4-5 different types of frosting to attempt to make our perfect cake. 1 and a half hours, a couple of free coffees and lattes (and a whole free box of pastries) later, we had ourselves a cake. Not only was it delicious, but (being the biased bride I am) my cake was the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes upon. Villa Italia made me feel welcomed, at home, and fortunate to have their services for my wedding - AND, the cake was delicious :)

The cake was sooo yummy! We had four different flavors and they were each just as yummy as the last! I would highly recommend them for their price and their variety of flavors! There is something for everyone!

I had the most beautiful, delicious wedding cake imaginable, and it was all thanks to Villa Italia. I had a 5 tier baby blue cake with pink flowers, and white scrolling. It was simply stunning. It had buttercream frosting, and cannoli filling for the layers...yum! The grooms cake was a poker scene with 3D poker chips, Jack Daniels bottle, ashtray and cigar...it was amazing as well. Perfect cake for our perfect day! Villa Italia is simply the best.

Villa Italia definitely lived up to its expectations!!! Our cake was AMAZING – there were so many delicious flavors to choose from that we actually ended up picking 5 different cakes and did a desert buffet!!! Not only was the flavor delicious, the price was very, very reasonable. The staff was great to work with and very accommodating!!!

Our cake was part of our wedding package, and we loved it. We had so much fun at the tasting for the cake! It was like a little tea party, and Trish was really helpful. Our cake was elegant and delicious. Many of our guests hate wedding cake, but really enjoyed this one. Highly recommend the lemon/lemon frosting!

Villa Italia made both our Wedding and Groom's cakes. Both cakes were amazing, which should come as no surprise since they are the best bakery in the area! Tricia, the manager, was a joy to work with. My husband and I had a blast at the cake tasting, and she was a wealth of ideas and suggestions to make our cake unique and satisfying for our guests. We decided on a 4 tier cake with 3 flavors: red velvet cake/cream cheese filling, chocolate cake/hazelnut filling, and rum cake/raspberry jam & vanilla mousse filling. We had a vanilla whip icing that was textured for a more vintage style. All of it was fabulous. The chocolate/hazelnut was a real crowd pleaser! The Groom's Cake was perhaps even more noteworthy. Rather than having two cakes at our wedding, we chose to serve the groom's cake at our rehearsal dinner, which was held at The Brown Derby (same ownership as Villa Italia). Bobby Malozzi, head pastry chef, is an incredibly busy man but was fortunately able to fit in a meeting with me to go over a design that would blow my film director husband's mind (I am also camerawoman). The results were spectacular. I think our guests took more photos of the cake than anything else at our rehearsal dinner! You can find photos of our cake on the Villa Italia website. It was truly amazing to see my ideas become a reality, in a cake so beautiful you almost didn't want to cut in to it... but who can resist Villa Italia cake?! It was chocolate cake with peanut butter filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting with fondant to finish. A work of art indeed. Lastly, in addition to our groom's cake we served Villa Italia's pastries and petit fours at the rehearsal dinner. It was an over the top treat that delighted our guests! You just can't go wrong with this bakery. They are unequivocally the best.

DELICIOUS and BEAUTIFUL CAKES!! We bought a cake from them for my engagement party, shower and ceremony. They are amazing! The whole experience from the cake tasting to eating my slice at the ceremony was perfect. I would absolutely use them again!

Our cake was not only delicious, it was absolutely beautiful. Villa Italia was super flexible and actually made every level of our cake a different flavor with different fillings.

The cake not only looked perfect it tasted even better! Everything was exactly the way that we had ordered it. The cake tasting was so much fun and everyone there was so friendly and accomodating. The cookies and pasteries at the wedding were also a huge hit.

I had to thank Villa Italia for such a beautiful wedding cake. I was very unsure of the design I wanted and after several meetings I finally decided on one. I was very nervous about it but when I saw it I was in awe. I had a beautiful 5 tier, and 4 different cake flavors and each one was wonderful. I thank them for me so patient with me and making my dream cake.

The cake was great, exactly how we envisioned it after we did our cake tasting. The cake tasting was a great experience, and we got to choose exactly what we wanted for our cake. Villa Italia was great, and we recommend everyone get there cake there.

I loved my wedding cake. I really wanted a cake that not only looked good but tasted great. Thats what I like about Villa italia... not ur average wedding cake! I had alot of people compliment me on our wedding cake and how delicious it was. We had a 5 tier wedding cake alternating between chocolate and vanilla cake. The layers were vanilla mouse and rasberry mouse with rasberry jam in the vanilla cake and chocolate mouse with rasberry mouse and rasberry preserves in the chocolate cake!...... BEST CAKE EVER!!!!

I have no complaints about Villa Italia! We were given as much time as needed for the cake testing, and the lady who helped us gave very valuable information as to what not to mix and what their top sellers were. If the cake you loved had pearls, you could save money but using frosting dots instead- Villa Italia understands the financial burden around wedding time! Everyone loved the cake and couldn't stop asking where we got it- It was delicious!

Our cake was a three tier chocolate cake with cannoli filling and a whipped topping. This was hands down the finest piece of cake I have ever enjoyed. Absolutely phenomenal. No words could truly do it justice....

Working with Villa Italia on our cake selection and design was not only yummy but such a pleasure! And when we requested a simple change to the design a few days prior to the wedding, we were given complete satisfaction! Thank you so much VI for making our cake and pastries for the additional viennese table so delicious! Our guests were raving!!
