Have to update this because we ordered last week and unfortunately, it wasn't as good as it was. The pizza was doughy and there wasn't a smidge of Marsala wine in the chicken Marsala we ordered. It literally tasted like chicken lo mein. Grew up eating Marsala dishes and I'm a chef and make chicken Marsala. Every so often I don't want to cook for myself so we order. Please tell your chef to use marsala wine in these dishes. It has a very distinct flavor and there was absolutely none of it in this dish. Very disappointing. I ended up throwing it out.

Menu options were super expensive. So we chose somewhere else to go.

Our group of Ten all agreed that this food was the best. Meals included Garlic knots, Chicken Fettuccine, Chicken (especially tender)Marsala, Greek Salad, Calzones, Hoagie, Mozzarella sticks, Penna pasta, Caprese salad. Everything excellent and tasted homemade. The place may be small but food excellent and portions huge. Thanks for a fabulous meal!

Took a while for take out order however cheesesteak was good. Rolls are homemade and on point but would of been better if it wasn't toasted. I would come back again to this place when in area.

food was super good. dining in is a little awkward because it's not like an actual restaurant setting but the food is really good and the chefs know what they are doing. definitely would go back again and maybe would even order for delivery if possible. got the calzone, garlic knots and philly!

We went inside to order our pizza that we had delivered to our hotel across the street, when ready. The service was great and the pizza was hot and so delicious!! We are already planning to go to 19 Italian Bistro on our next trip to Va Beach!

Small place that is easy to pass by and not give a second thought. That would be a huge mistake as plenty of food for price and probably the best sauce I have ever had.

Upon entering, the place was already packed with a lively crowd, and the pizza crust was outstanding! It had that local, beloved pizzeria vibe and was delicious.

Great food, amazing value. The stromboli and calzone both were tons of food for the price and tasted great! It's a shame we don't live closer, or we would be back!

We went on Friday, Jan. 5. It is a small place, but it was not crowded. All employees were busy at the moment, so we grabbed menus off the counter and seated ourselves... but someone arrived in short order to, well, take our order: 2 small Greek salads, meat ravioli, and sausage, peppers and onions with penne pasta.Our salads arrived first, and I thought that a mistake had been made - they were *big*, and loaded with romaine, tomato, green pepper and cucumber chunks, rings of red onion, cubes of fresh feta cheese, and several unpitted calamata olives. The dressing was spot-on, and the salads were tossed with just the right amount.I got through perhaps half of my salad when the mains arrived: the ravioli were cooked just right, and they were served with a very generous amount of delicious, chunky marinara. The sausage came thinly sliced and sautéed with lots of green peppers and onions, mixed with a large quantity of penne in marinara, then coated with mozzarella and baked until melted - it was *prime*, and I had to take half of it home after eating the "small" Greek salad.Of course it all came with bread, still warm from where it had been stuck in a roaster for a few minutes, necessary (and perfect) for sopping up the extra sauce.I don't know if dessert was available, because we were so full that we didn't / couldn't even think about it. Suffice it to say that if we return to the area, we will eat here again.

Place is a typical, small pizza joint but the food is far from typical. Bread is freshly made in house as well as the marinara. Sandwiches are huge. They definitely don’t skimp out on the filling. Our family enjoyed it and will return again.
