Highly recommend!! I wish I wasn’t on any dietary restrictions cuz I would have eaten and drunken more than what I did. I wish I could have tried their crab soup the waiter spoke so highly of or the fried oyster dish my husband got (one of the pictures I posted) along with many of the other dishes. I did get a meatball which was very good, they put extra cheese on it to make up for a mix up with more order. I also got the Caesar salad which was also very yummy, did not need to add anything more to it than how they made it. I could not have any alcohol but others in my party did and they looked delicious and everybody said they tasted great! The waiter was AWESOME, sadly I don’t remember his name.. but if this place was a dealership he definitely got us to buy a car. The other employees were also very polite, it was a very warm welcoming a environment.

The food met every expectation for an Italian restaurant. I reserved seating on Tabletop app. I had my very 1st cup of crab soup. It’s a specialty of the restaurant. The service was great from the introduction to speciality dishes and services. The setting was casual and quiet. I love trying places during the off season. If you are visiting Virginia Beach and you want a really good dinner, this is the place. I highly recommend!

This review is a long time coming. I’ve been dining here for years and I’ve never had bad service or a meal yet. My wife and I normally sit at the bar and often times will be served by James. James is a perfect bartender/server. Friendly, knowledgable, and knows when to chime in and when to leave you to your meal. He’s authentic and never feels grating… plus I dont know how, but he always remembers our orders. Sometimes when we get a table, we’ll also be served by Diane, who is also really wonderful. The food is always fantastic, I am fond of the meatballs and the tortellini Mannino’s. I’ve tried a few other things, but always come back to those.

Terrific service by Diane (1st visit) and excellent food. The she-crab soup was the best in the area BY FAR (and I’ve had some great ones). I completely enjoyed the Chef’s Specialty Tortollini Mannino’s and tasty red sangria.

Had to wait at the bar a bit for a table, but the bartender was wonderful. The appetizer was amazing. Best spaghetti I have ever had! Our waiter was great as well!

Let me start saying “the food was delicious”. Don’t forget you call for a reservation, we didn’t and we had to wait 45 minutes, but the wait was worth it. If you don’t eat much, each entrée should be enough for two, specially if you order any appetizers. We ordered fried calamari and it was big. They also bring bread and like I said above, it was delicious. The only reason I gave 4 stars it’s because for the price, the place should be nicer. I’ll definitely come back!

Multiple friends recommended the place so I had high expectations. I’m sorry to say no one in my party (All Italians with restaurant backgrounds.) was excited about the food. Food was very bland and the house red sauce tasted like tomatoes out of the can. (Is the cook a smoker? Do they taste the food as they are cooking) I have had much better over the years including some local Pizzerias. Kitchen is slow. (Maybe understaffed because it was not busy on the night we came.) My party of 4 was seated in the bar are and the bench seat was worn and had little padding. Extremely uncomfortable. Our Waiter however was top notch and did the best he could. Desserts were great! I’m going to give them another shot but I would ask the owners to take a critical look at their place. It truly needs some additional focus..

Back once more. we go here often just for the outstanding she crab soup, don’t review each visit, but last night chris and i decided to try a few different items………here you go: we had a new server this visit- Elijah and he was outstanding. 6pm reservation and place was not overly busy, but soon after our room was full – Better make Reservations.

Family owned restaurant, great Italian food. Very busy for a Tuesday evening. My wife had Shrimp Francese, side of pasta with sausage and tiramisu for dessert. I had the Veal stack, side of pasta marinara with a meatball. Everything was great, portions were generous. We will definitely be back.
