Villa Nova - Restaurant & Pizzeria - Restaurant in Arpora, Saligao - North Goa, India

Our experience at Cafe Villa Nova in Goa was truly remarkable. Nestled within the confines of a charming villa surrounded by fields, the cafe's aesthetic beauty immediately caught my attention. The serene atmosphere and tasteful decor created an inviting ambiance that made me feel comfortable and excited about the dining experience. The star of the show spinach pasta was a delightful rendition of a classic, cooked to perfection. we loved it a bit too much. The wood-fired pizza was a standout, boasting a crispy crust and a harmonious medley of toppings that danced on my taste buds. The beetroot salad was a refreshing interlude, with its vibrant colors and a medley of textures that provided a satisfying contrast. To complement the delightful food, I indulged in a selection of cocktails that were nothing short of spectacular. What truly set Cafe Villa Nova apart was the impeccable service and attention to detail. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. As I savored my meal and engaged in conversation with my family, I couldn't help but appreciate the seamless integration of delicious food, beautiful surroundings, and friendly service. In conclusion, my visit to Cafe Villa Nova was a gastronomic adventure that left a lasting impression. From the tastefully designed ambiance to the diverse and meticulously prepared dishes, every aspect of the experience was thoughtfully curated. If you find yourself in Goa and are in search of not only a meal but a culinary journey, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this hidden gem of a cafe.

Edit: But they were sweet enough to refund the money pretty quickly. I really appreciate that. Nevertheless the pizzas are really good. I'll anyway go there to eat them Well I've actually gone there to eat many times and I was not disappointed. Have only gone there for the pizzas and they are pretty good. But today was the first time we ordered for two pizzas and one of the boxes had fungus in it. This is absolutely not acceptable. And we all in Goa know what the monsoon is capable of doing. But this is first week of October and something should have been figured to solve this. It's a complete turn off to find this

Overall Rating: 4/5 Food: 3/5 We got the Fetuccine Al Funghi & Spaghetti Pomodoro pastas along with the lemonade. I don't know if this was an attempt at being very "authentic italian" and what not, but both the pastas felt very bland. Even oregano and chilli flakes couldn't save em. The portions were very small too. Ambience: 5/5 This property was an individual house/bungalow done up extremely beautifully and felt like a small slice of Italy in Goa. The colors chosen for the tiles, the plants etc were a treat to the eyes. Service: 5/5 We arrived pretty late in the day, almost near closing, but the staff thankfully accommodated us.

Loved the thin crust pizzas they were the best I've had in Goa... I'm definitely going back for more very soon. Staff were friendly and attentive. Lovely ambiance and great vibes

We visited this place in the last month! Went here for lunch as soon as we landed North Goa. Firstly, the place really impressed me. The way this restaurant perfectly fits inside an old Portuguese villa, it's so elegant. Secondly, I love pizzas - so another reason for being here. The food menu is quite vast and what we ordered from it was : * Pollo Piri Chicken Pizza (4/5): If you love thin crust and super crisp pizzas - their pizzas are a go! Absolutely loved this chicken pizzas which was very flavourful! * Margherita (4/5): Nothing can go wrong with a Classic Margherita Pizza! Simply delicious. * Burrata Salad (4/5): Being a Burrata cheese fan, I obviously had to order this one. That's one hell of a Burrata Salad! * Crostini Three Ways (4/5): Three different types of crostinis. One was the classic bruschetta, other one was avocado & lastly was walnut feta with caramelised onions. The last one was a different one. * Gyoza with Chilli Soy (3/5): They also serve gyozas! We called for this one in veg. It was alright. I for sure want to try more of their pizzas! Next time! Cheers

Simply amazing restaurant to experience authentic western style food, ambience. It's bungalow converted into beautiful restaurant. Food quality is top notch and service is also fantastic. A must visit for all pizza and pasta lovers.

Amazing pizza's and Italian food. Great effort by Imran and Aliya to deliver fine Italian food in Goa. Must go!

I love wood gired oven pizzas so thought of visiting this place. This place looks like a villa so name is apt for this place "Villa Nova". Staff is courteous and has a smile on their face. Ambience is gorgeous, has open air space and there is a live music every Sunday which is so soothing for a sunday brunch date. You can see the wood fired oven where your pizzas are getting ready, their pizza dough is super light and you can gobble the whole pizza too.. with no guilt. Do try their summer burrata salad which is my favourite. They have some Goan delicacies too where they have created their own version of it and you need to try it. They use the fresh ingredients and do not compromise on the quality.. I totally loved this place.
