This is my second time at Rose Villa in the last month. I liked it many years ago but we moved to Medina County and just don't head that way much anymore. We went with friends in December and were so impressed with the quality, prices and great service. We decided to go back (just the two of us on NYE) and tried the couples dinner. The shrimp cocktail we split was perfect, great salad with white French dressing, we each had a 10 oz. filet and took home one for steak and eggs breakfast the next day. I had broccoli that was seasoned and tender without being mushy and husband had crispy home fries. We each also chose a lobster tail as part of the package choices and they did not taste like they had been frozen - pretty impressive for Akron, Ohio. We took home our desserts, which were part of the package. They had seasonal cocktails as well as a good selection of beer and other mixed drink options (the Cranberry Mule was great). Our waitress was attentive even though the place was jamming! We've agreed it's worth to to travel a little further more often for a nice dinner out - we will be back soon. Not "fine dining" atmosphere, but nice restaurant/bar vibe, not too noisy even when busy. On a regular night, we could easily dine for two for under $50, especially without cocktails. NYE special was a splurge, but the same meal at Flemings, Diamond Grille, etc. would have been double the price.

We were here tonight for the Wednesday’s Seafood dinners. Overall - dinner went well, the seafood was edible, not awful but not as good as we had hoped. The atmosphere was quaint, warm and friendly. Our waitress, Savannah was personable and knowledgeable about the menu & the restaurant! The homemade pies are a must!!! We look forward to coming back and enjoying the rest of the menu.

Great food. I had the wedding soup and the beef stroganoff and it was fantastic.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. We had a pleasant experience. The atmosphere is homey and spacious. It was a Sunday afternoon, so it was not crowded. We have been searching for a good Italian restaurant, and we felt we found it. We were a party of six, and everyone enjoyed their food from the classic egg plant parmesan to Italian pasta sampler platter, fettuccine Alfredo, lasagna, and Italian sausage sub and a variety of pies for dessert. The prices were reasonable, and the service was good with friendly staff. We will go back again. Maybe next time I'll remember to take a photo 🙂

Generous portions, reasonable prices on well prepared meals. I was surprised beyond my expectations. The prime rib was great, among the best that I've tasted. The only downside is that my baked potato tasted reheated, but it was acceptable. The food was seasoned well. I don't have to reach for the salt and pepper. Our server Kim was attentive, but not overbearing. Another place worth adding to the hometown dining rotation.
