villaroma There’s a newcomer to Depot Place …. All’ Antica is gone and in its place you’ll find Villa Roma Pizzeria and Restaurant. Outside you’ll see a new sign but the interior of the space is largely unchanged. We spoke to James P. Junior, pictured here, who reports that they have been open about a month and reception from the community has been great. Many students have already discovered the new spot and their parents are sure to follow suit.

Though it was too early for pizza when we stopped by, there was a nice selection of pies in the case that looked tempting. The menu shows they offer the traditional margherita as well as buffalo chicken, white pizza, baked ziti, portobello and melanzana. Small 14” pies start at $10.95, the large 16” is $12.95 and the Sicilian is $13.95 with additional charges for toppings.

But Villa Roma offers more than pizza. Their menu includes appetizers such as mozzarella and zucchini sticks and mussels marinara, a full range of salads, entrees and pasta dinners.

On the entrée menu there’s chicken parm, chicken francese, sausage and peppers, shrimp scampi and a whole lot more. Prices for entrees villaroma1 range from $11.95 to $16.95. Pastas include Penne a la Vodka, Penne Primavera and Caviatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage. There are also heroes, calzone and stuffed pizza.
