Excellent Italian food/atmosphere! Loved the Parmesan asparagus app, Caesar salad , shrimp/crab spaghetti special and the tortellini entree. The Neapolitan dessert was a nice finish! Fabulous dinner
Its a great find, has piano bar and very ny italian feel, not at great end of the beach but worth the trek down, especially after all the too much southern fried fare..
Oh my can't see how you could go wrong next door is some alien pizza joint 5 minutes to open asked if they were open womanrudely said NO. Thank goodness went next door and here is what we enjoyed...
Napoleon ($7) flaky pastry , cool vanilla custard & whipped cream form a powdered-sugar-covered cloud (usually gone by 8pm on busy nights, so ask waiter to reserve it when you place your order)
Appetizer chicken tenders , onion rings jalapeños peppers . If we're not to full we might get another after main course :-)
Great food, best Italian food in VA Beach . Had shrimp and crab pasta excellent. Worth a trip!!
The best Italian in Virginia Beach! Their focaccia bread is amazing and their red pepper infused olive oil makes it even better.
