A little upgrade to an old favorite. 🇮🇹🥖

The Villaggio Italiano is now being served on beautifully crafted seeded semolina bread from Baking By Numbers in Owego.

It’s the same hoagie you’ve been craving: layers of premium Italian meats, sharp provolone, fresh toppings, and all the flavor that made it a Villaggio staple… now wrapped in a crusty, sesame-studded loaf that takes it to another level.

Local supporting local never tasted so good. Stop in and try the new Villaggio Italiano—you might just find your favorite sandwich got even better. ❤️🤍💚

✨ This week’s specials have officially landed at Villaggio! ✨

Summer is here, and so are the bright, fresh flavors that make this season our favorite.

🍓 Featured first: our Strawberry Bruschetta Chicken Wrap: grilled chicken, topped with house-made strawberry bruschetta, creamy feta, peppery arugula, and finished with a balsamic glaze. Light, fresh, and packed with flavor.

🥪 Also making its debut: the Villaggio Cordon Bleu: our asiago & panko breaded chicken cutlet layered with crispy Culatello di Dorman, melted Jarlsberg, fresh arugula, and whiskey mustard, all pressed on ciabatta until perfectly golden.

🥣 Looking for something lighter? Cool off with our Italian Gazpacho with a Kick: a chilled tomato soup with bold Mediterranean flavors and just enough heat to keep things interesting.

🥒 And back by popular demand, our fresh Cucumber Salad, tossed with crisp vegetables, feta, and a bright vinaigrette that tastes like summer in a bowl.
