Our Dalmatian coast specialties are unique in all of New York City to Villa Berulia alone! Our chefs have researched some ancient recipes, fused them with some modern techniques and added a touch of their own flair. The result is delectable! Try the Dalmatian canneloni or the seafood Buzara. We offer different specials every day at Villa Berulia. Wild Game Dishes: The very latest in exotic cuisine! Depending on the season, we offer venison osso bucco, wild boar sausage and pan-seared ostrich fillets. These dishes are a delicious way to "try something new." After almost 20 years, this…

Delightful northern Italian/Croatian with outstanding service

by eldenfrente

Just off the crossroads of Park Avenue and 42 Street, VB offers a combination that's too often rare in Manhattan and its plethora of self-styled northern Italian eateries: good food, excellent beverages (incl. expertly mixed he-man-sized cocktails) and un-snobbish, friendly service. The menu is long, the daily specials numerous and the staff will, if possible and without fuss, prepare any dish that remains unmentioned. Based on numerous visits for dinner (we keep going back) we like its antipasti (exceptional seafood salad and, in season, fresh artichokes), not-oversauced pastas and excellent seafood and meats, including, among the latter, croatian classics such as cevapcici --the mildy spiced ground meat grilled on skewers. There's an excellent wine list, too. Portions tend to be on the gargantuan side (we always carry home a hefty doggy bag) but half-servings are available for pastas. Desserts --if one can still find space for them-- can be excellent, too. An all-around winner that has been around for many years and for good reason.

  • Pros: Location, service, food, drinks
  • Cons: none
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great!

by bobhorner

I have on limited trips to NYC had the opportunity to eat and recommend others to eat at this location. In fact it may be my favorite restaurant in America. Owners are "hands on" and caring, food is good, ambiance is tremendous. Overall it just makes for an enjoyable dining experience. Yes, it may be geared more toward the more elder crowd. But I can assure you that if the "old heads" like me go back again and again it is good. Because it is not inexpensive with an "early bird special." No one that has gone there upon my recommendation has ever come back with a bad report. I am just sad that they are not located in my home of Nashville, TN

  • Pros: service, attention to details, friendly
  • Cons: located in NYC

Nice but not great

by billy_shears

My girlfriend and I had dined at Villa Berulia on 10/17/05. The atmosphere and service were excellent, but I wasn't terribly impressed with the food. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I've read other reviews saying how bright the place is and I don't agree. I found it comfortable and cozy. I've also read how it's for the 'older crowd'...I suppose people over 40 need a place to go too....but I would go there no matter my age.

  • Pros: excellent service, romantic, comfortable
  • Cons: food lacking

After almost 20 years, this Murray Hill Northern Italian remains a "miracle on 34th Street" for the many local regulars who enjoy its "excellent" food and "very courteous" service by a staff that makes you feel you're "visiting famiglia." -Zagat Survey, 2001
