More than that, his background was in fine Italian cooking in Athens while Alexandra grew up within the family's pizza parlor in New England. The ambiance and style of Villaggio is halfway in between, says Alexandra. She designed the soothing interior in soft greens in what was a former Kentucky Fried Chicken joint. You'd never guess it. White linens are on the tables but the menu is priced reasonably. The lunch menu offers a few tastes of dinner at an even better price point. A small bar offers comforts for a solo dinner too. A few of the pastas are made onsite, including the angel hair, fettuccini and lobster ravioli. All dishes are made to order, like the salmon recipe given here. But the marsala demi-glace is a four-day labor and used liberally for the sautéed chicken and pork tenderloins. Homemade desserts include the tiramisu and cannoli.
