22 Best Italian Restaurants in Chesapeake

“The Costata di Maisle e Funghi was the best entrée of the night! We began with the Tonno Crudo e Tartufo Nero which was such an amazing combination of flavors. The wines that were suggested to us pairs beautifully with our meal and had such bold flavors. The staff were all very attentive and made the meal so enjoyable. Best night out in years. We can't wait to return.“

“Friendly service and clean, comfortable dining experience“

“Had a wonderful dinner here last week. Miranda waited on us and was extremely personable and helped some of us with menu options. I had the veal parmigiana and was cooked to perfection. Miranda was very attentive to our party and made the whole dinner experience perfect. Will definitely be back and recommend anyone looking for a great Italian meal and service.“

“I'm recommending because the food is yummy! However the service is disappointing especially my last few visits. I normally do take out and the last time something was forgotten in my order which I did not notice til I got home (I live a bit aways from the restaurant) I called and the bartender who is always nice took my information and apologized even offered a credit towards my next order. However the last few times (one being last night) we dined in and the service was very disappointing. Our server was very slow she kept tending to the other guests around us and left us hanging. Took awhile to get our appetizer and awhile before she took our entree order. Did not offer dessert and took her almost 15 minutes before she brought my credit card back so we could leave. I love the food and atmosphere but the service needs improving.“

“If you haven't been to the Amber Lantern, YOU NEED TO 😍 This hidden gem is like the best kept secret. It's off the beaten path, so you wouldn't know you're even passing it, but frankly, I think that's what I like the most about it. I took hubby out for his birthday, and we had such a quiet and peaceful dinner overlooking the water. Our bill at the end of the night was surprisingly lower than we expected, and we ate many high end meal options. I'd actually go as far to say that I prefer this place over Butcher's Son. Our server, Kristi, went above and beyond and was incredibly genuine and down to earth. The menu provided a great selection that gave many options but wasn't overwhelming. The wine was out of this world! For appetizers we had scallops and fried oysters. I've eaten many oysters in my day, but I've never had ones like this. Lightly fried on the outside with that perfect crunch while the oyster itself was still very juicy! The scallops were perfectly seasoned. My husband had the special of beef tips while I had lobster tortellini. The beef tips didn't even require a knife, just melted right in the mouth. My lobster tortellini was out of this world. We ended with a dessert of tiramisu, homemade raspberry whipped cream, and Carmel sauce. WOW! It was light and moist but not drenched in liquid. We went around 6 and there were only a few couples, but by 8, it was booming! Many regulars from what I could tell. My husband commented that we are definitely coming back, and bringing others with us 😍. It'll now be our go-to for birthdays, anniversaries, and visits from family 😍“

“Absolutely amazing experience, I will never forget them. Their food is very authentic, perfectly portioned, fresh, and delicious. Everything was clean, the music was amazing and fit the atmosphere, the owner came out to check on us and got to know us as his customers and now friends. I love this place, the employees were great. I will be back soon!!!! - The Alaska girl and her husband John“

“The pizza crust was delicious“

“The buffalo chicken stromboli is AMAZING and huge. It is definitely big enough for 2 people to share. I have also had the pizza and the crust is great. Not too thick or too thin and has a great flavor. It has a slight garlic flavor, but isn't overpowering! I will definitely keep going back.“

“Zinos has the best food. The service was amazing. But Chester the cook, always goes above and beyond with what he cooks. Not only did he make the food, he brought it out to us as well. Then came out a little while later to see how the food was. We always make sure to go up there when Chester is cooking. I can’t say enough about his food, friendliness and how he always wants to make sure we are happy with the food.“

“This is honestly the best resturant experience I've had in virgina in 4 years of living here. The waiter calleb is excellent as his job and kept me entertained while I dined(in full honesty i think he deserves a raise?) and I defenitly come back for more just because the atmosphere, food and your server is superb at what he does. The experience was splendid thank you.“
