Come for the sandwiches, stay for the desserts
La Villa has been in Morrisville since 1998, and has built an impressive following over their many years in the community. Owner Gino Lenti, who grew up in Italy, credits his mother with his love of and skill at cooking.
His mother always told him, “Gino, it’s very important not to use too much salt, or too little salt in your food, it could make or break the taste of the dish, but in his mother’s day, since food never went to waste they would eat the dish no matter how much salt was used.”
