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!

Service can be slow when busy so bring a Board Game to Play with the Kids. You'll probably get through a whole game of scrabble! Villaggio ~ Authentic Italian and Mediterranean Cruisine Great new’ish restaurant open all day for lunch and dinner. The old Star Buffet was good as you didn't have to wait like you do now but the menu could have been improved somewhat. It's all about Target Profits than service ~ which is why Villaggio is the current main club restaurant. The Crafty Brew Cafe is not to be left out for consideration.

Had dinner at the Italian restaurant with my daughter. I give 2 stars as I had the rack of ribs and it was the smallest rack I have ever had .The biggest rib in the rack was no bigger than my little finger ,no where worth the $46 they charged for it . It was very disappointing after a long wait ,the staff were nice.

As a new club member extremely disappointed with the "Roast of the Day". Presented as described on menu. Roast on bed of mash... not one vegetable nor green to be seen. The roast was lamb...tasted like mutton and mostly fat. The receipt read senior meal which was not ordered. Im not a senior ..the meal presented zero nourishment and was an embarrassment . I feel sorry that this is accepted as a value nourishing meal for a senior.
