Restaurants near Sampsons Island Sanctuary

Love this place! Service, ambiance and food all top shelf!

My family enjoyed a wonderful meal on Friday, December 13th and we left thinking…this maybe the best restaurant in the Cape! Our meals (Veal, Pork Chop, Haddock and Chicken) were all prepared and presented beautifully! Service was great and we enjoyed some wine from a very diverse wine list. We can’t wait to return again for another great night!

Second time at Villaggio and not disappointed whatsoever. My guests and I were very satisfied with the quality, quantity and selection. The restaurant was warm and festive, not over the top but just right. We will be back….

We enjoyed the Thursday evening special, Chateaubriand for Two. The beef was cooked to perfection at medium rare, the horseradish cream sauce delightful, and the portion generous. We had a lively discussion over the interesting choices of compound butters or sauces as accompaniments. Oysters as a first course was the right choice! It was tough to choose side dishes but we finally landed on Parmesan roasted asparagus and sautéed mushrooms. Again, the right choice. We finished our evening with a beautiful crème brûlée which was not too rich, not too sweet and with a perfect caramelized sugar top layer. Our server, Colin, was helpful with his suggestions and perfectly attentive without hovering. Fabulous cocktails, too. We can’t wait to go back to 53 on our next trip to the Cape.

Our wait time was a bit longer than normal due to staffing issues, but the meal was well worth waiting for. Server was busy but took time to stop by and check in on our food, drinks, etc. A lovely evening to celebrate a birthday.
