The Star Buffet

I had plans for another restaurant that I wanted to try out for my birthday, May 10th, however, the night before, I looked it up and found that it was closed on Tuesdays. In a panic, I turned to my community FB page and posted a request for recommendations of local Italian Restaurants. Immediately someone responded “Villaggio Richmond Club”, shortly after that, and a Google, even one of the Managers of the club replied to the post and said that if I became a member, I would be entitled to my choice of selected meals, free, for my birthday and then offered assistance if I had any problems when I arrived. The free meal was not my intention but it was a damn good bonus. On my birthday, I arrived, I became a member, I went to Villaggio and was seated, I saw the normal menu and the birthday menu, and I ordered. The lady, Lana, who took my order asked if my name was Becky and wished me a happy birthday. The waitress that bought out our starters, wished me a happy birthday, the owner came and checked if I had received my meal and apologised for the delay (but there was no delay) and THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! With my birthday voucher, we purchased 4 meals (pizza, 2x pastas with chicken added to one of them and a garlic bread bites (pizza size)) and it only cost $57.00! The food, the service, the people, the club, the vibe and anything else you can think of was PERFECT! I will be back! And Lana coming up to me as I was leaving, wishing me a Happy Birthday, hugging me, and thanking me for coming was taking everything to the next level! Thank you Richmond Club and Villaggio! See you very soon!

Nice dining room and love the big chairs. The meal did not meet the $40 I paid for the pizza. I prawn per slice and with tails on. Nothing much else except the crust. In the bar area there was a lack of tables and chairs in such a big room. They could not give me a mojito.
