Privately owned by its head chef, Villa Mozart was his dream since culinary school in Italy. Walking through the doors and into the modestly sized upscale restaurant it is so tranquil that you forget about the traffic that is backed up on the other side of the door. The menu showcases authentic Italian food such as agnolotti and filetto di manzo along with familiar foods such as, fettuccine and lasagna. Signature dishes include risottos, penne martelli and venison.
