Villa was founded 50 years ago, and built its business on strict loyalty to authentic old-world recipes that Michele Scotto brought with him from Naples, Italy, in 1964. From the first pizzeria that opened in 1964 next to the Ed Sullivan Theater on Broadway in New York, to their Bananas restaurants, and more than 370 restaurants today, a commitment to quality food and genuine hospitality is still the hallmark of Villa.
