The family like feel and professionalism that Villa penna gives every guest is beyond heart warming. Adriann was an absolute life saver. She made sure every detail of my day was covered, and literally PERFECT. My family and guests are raving about the food, atmosphere and most importantly the service. The best service. My father was blown away. The attentiveness, and professionalism they show every guest is amazing. I will never have another even anywhere else.

My husband and I just had our wedding reception at Villa Penna this past Friday and could not have been happier! The food was absolutely outstanding and people are still talking about it. Everything that was discussed at our meetings with George and crew was exactly the way they said they would be and we didn't have to do a thing! It was so nice and stress-free and elegant! I would absolutely recommend having any occasion here!

Our engagement party at Villa Penna couldn't have been more perfect. The interior is so beautiful even without decorations and provides such a romantic setting. This establishment is absolute perfection all around, from the food to the service. Adriann, Jamie, George and Frank could not have been more accommodating, professional and such a pleasure to work with. They truly made the entire planning process so easy and seamless. I highly recommend this venue for any special occasion. We've already booked our wedding reception here :)

My husband and I did a lot of hunting to find the perfect venue for our big day. We fell in love with Villa Penna, not only because of the beauty of the venue, but because of the amazing staff. This is the best overall value around! From the moment we met with the owner and his soon to be daughter in-law, they treated us like family. My husband and I are both gluten free and they were able to accommodate us with no hesitation and the food was SO good! Our head Table had their own wait staff who was sure to make sure we had plenty of Champagne and anything we needed...Sam was the absolute best! We would use this venue again in a heartbeat and recommend it to everyone we know!

The Villa Penna Family treated me like I was a part of their family as well! Excellent service and professionalism; not to mention spectacular food! I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends and plan to book more parties/occasions there in the future!

One of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. The entire staff is extremely professional, accommodating, responsive, organized, and pleasant. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to plan a stess-free event with a great family-owned business. My guests couldn't stop complimenting the venue, food, service, and overall experience.

If I had to use one word to describe my daughters wedding reception it would be spectacular. Penna's exceeded my every expectation. George has the venue, level of service and the food tuned to the highest degree. We have received so many kudos on the evening from those in attendance. There is not one thing they could have done to make the night more perfect. My highest compliments and thanks to everyone who contributed to the evening.

Great service and food. Had a family memorial and couldn't be any happier with my choice of having it at villa penna. Food was great and the service made everything even better. At the end of the day, our server Grace, had all the left over food in foil pans so we could take it home. How nice. She even brought out a small individual carry out for a friend because she couldn't get over how amazing the fettuccine Alfredo was. That was very kind of her, she did a great job and knows how to keep customers happy and coming back. I told her I'll be coming to the restaurant and requesting her. Thank you for such a great memorial, truly means a lot to my family and I.

Love, Love Villa Penna! They were great to work with! Everyone still talks about how it was the best wedding and wedding food they have ever had. We had many out of town guests and they were very impressed! The marble dance floor is beautiful. The staircase is great for taking pictures. Even the bathrooms are beautiful, clean, and spacious-which is important in a big dress. I have used Villa Penna again for my baby shower and baptism. I love their food and they are very easy to work with. The Villa Penna coordinater made sure everything went smoothly. They had the wedding set up exactly how I dreamed it! They were very professional! I highly recommend Villa Penna-extras at other venues are included here at no cost. Something to consider: Villa Penna has a good ratio of servers to tables. After our wedding, I have noticed that several other venues do not have the same ratio of servers to tables. Villa Penna has great attention to every table. All the food to the different tables comes out at the same time. (One table does not get served 10 -15 minutes before another table.) I feel very lucky and happy that we had our wedding reception at Villa Penna. I love going to weddings here and love eating at the restaurant, too!

This venue is amazing!! They have a beautiful staircase that is great for pictures, nice lighting in the room, and the marble dance floor is great! Overall you can tell that George deeply cares about his hall compared to other halls of equal price!
Service is also great. I had many questions at times and George and the ladies that work for him do a great job answering your questions as soon as they can, which is usually right away. The day of our wedding everything ran very smoothly, which for a type-A person like myself is very important and will keep any bride calm.
But the Best is the food!! Which is to die for!! Every table I went to said the food was amazing and no one left hungry. Best of all I had guests who had specail food allergies and they took care of them and made our guest feel like we really care about them! To me what really makes the difference is that Villa Penna is not just a hall, but a restaurant too. Everyone knows hall food is alright especially the late night pizza, but at Villa Penna every dish is perfect...and the late night pizza hit the spot at the end of the night! And you wouldn't believe how many guests were excited like kids when they saw they were getting 2 deserts!
GO WITH VILLA PENNA!! You won't be disappointed, George is the best! :-D

Villa Penna was such a elegant place for our reception. The outdoors and indoors of the venue are perfect for photos, the food was wonderful and working with the staff was also great. Villa lifted a lot of pressure off of our shoulders before and on the wedding day. My husband and I were greatly pleased and loved the food. We still have family members that comment to us on how great the food was!

Villa Penna may not be the cheapest place around, but what you get for your money is astounding. Great food, clean classy hall, outstanding service. George is a wonderful guy to work with, you can rest assured that everything will be ready on time and go according to schedule, even if you change that schedule on him just a few hours before the reception!

Villa Penna did a phenomenal job. They made sure the headtable (that’s all I can speak of since I just wanted to eat!) had everything they needed. We made a change to the timeline the day of the wedding and they were right there with us ready to move dinner up. We told the coordinator that morning we were eliminating speeches and Penna’s made it so that nobody even realized they were gone. They packed up the pizza and other goodies for us to take home so we had food that evening and didn’t have to cook that day. Gloria and the coordinators were fantastic and I never had to visit the bar!

The food and staff are amazing!

My husband and I are extremely grateful for the impeccable service Villa Penna provided to us and our guests at our wedding. From the pre-event arrangements of drop-offs and payments to the moment we left our party, our guests and I noticed every courtesy extended. The ladies in the office were so helpful and professional, the wait staff was pleasant and attentive, and the room manager was always visible and available and put us to ease from the moment we arrived. We had a couple of hiccups with other vendors on our wedding day, but Villa Penna?s staff and food allowed us to forget the struggles of the day to enjoy the festivities of the evening.

Penna's did a wonderful job at our wedding reception! They were always very prompt and provided great service when serving food and drinks. Food was excellent!!! No complaints from anyone! Many compliments given on waitstaff. The head table was taken care of very well, staff friendly! Penna's was decorated beautifully for the winter/Christmas time, couldn't of asked for more. Only thing was disappointed on was that Penna's does not cater to children, only under 3 yrs of age (free). Had to pay full price for a child that we paid for an adult (which includes bar). Overall very satisfied, just hope for future clients that price changes for children!

We had a family crisis during the wedding reception and they were kind enough to pack up all of the dinner and give my family and I the leftovers becasue we didn't get to enjoy it.
