45 Best Italian Restaurants in Virginia Beach

“Just fantastic food and service.“

“Wonderful experience“

“Aldo’s is my absolute favorite restaurant! I am a very picky eater. My husband, (boyfriend at the time) , took me to Aldo’s on one of our first dates in 1990. If he was trying to impress me..it worked! Jim, the owner, has been there since the beginning and he is amazing! He has treated us like gold for 34 years now! He has sent wine and dessert over on our anniversary, compliments of the restaurant! He always asks us how everything was and of course, it’s always perfect! I have never had an issue. The atmosphere is incredible, very romantic and relaxing. There is live piano and the wait staff are top notch. Jim only hires the best! They have authentic Italian food that has so much flavor and there is nothing like it! I highly recommend Aldo’s for fine dining and just an overall fabulous experience!“

“This is a must eat for those looking for a cozy atmosphere and delicious Italian food! The pasta is all hand made and cooked perfectly! We loved it so much we returned within a week to treat our son while he was in town and have already made our Valentine’s Day reservation. The husband and wife owners are a delightful couple and you will not be disappointed!“

“Hello. They have the best shrimp pasta I have ever had in my life!!! Totally delicious! Highly recommend it! 🍜❤️😊“

“We had a wonderful family dinner at Sorella's this evening for a party of 10. The service was wonderful. We were greated promptly and brought right to our table even though our full party wadn't arrived yet. Mozzerella balls and brussell sprouts were so tasty and Emily L made some wonderful recommendations on entree choices. The radiatore was to die for.“

“Bill Cutrell and I eat here often. I hesitate to write a review as it’s a secret spot lol. Small and delightful place. We LOVE it. The atmosphere, wait staff, chef (Angelo) are the best of the best. Angelo is a master chef. Jennifer is a fabulous server too!! At the end we tried Stephanie’s rainbow cookies which were to die for too. I don’t know why this place doesn’t have a 5.0 but deserves it. I had the rib-eye peperonata and Bill had the Grouper marinara. Both were to die for! ❤️❤️❤️“

“THANK YOU FOR HELPING CELEBRATE OUR SONS BIRTHDAY EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT“

“I went there for the first time today while my cellphone was being repaired next door. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo. It was hot, fresh and delicious. The hot bread was amazing. I loved the funny signs in the bathroom too. I hope to try you guys again sometime. Thanks again.“

“Been there several times. My favorite Italian restaurant in Virginia Beach“

“Best Italian restaurant in Hampton Roads. This is as close as I’ve tasted to the food in Italy. Outstanding.“

“This place is hands down one of the best pizza restaurants in Virginia Beach!! I have been here more than a hand full of times by now and each time it has tasted amazing. The crust is delicious and the toppings are perfect! It is always hot and the people are so friendly.“

“Went to La Bella for the first time last night with my family. We are from Nj and have high expectations for Italian food. The food was yummy. One of the best Italian places for the area. I would recommend spacing out ordering each course. They brought our meals out 5 minutes after our apps. Our waitress was very nice as well. The atmosphere was nice too. We will eat here again and now know next time to order at a slow rate!!“

“Food was really good and the cashier was very nice to my friend and I“

“Great pizza, the meatballs are amazing, chicken parm is awesome. The staff is friendly and makes you feel at home. A hidden gem that more people need to frequent!“

“I came here with my family one evening for dinner as my six-year-old daughter was absolutely starving and really craving spaghetti ! It was off-season,
and we’re not from the area, so I didn’t anticipate needing a reservation… we were definitely wrong! I will say, however, that the hostess and staff were super accommodating and seated us immediately. The food was absolutely delicious and came out fast, and the staff was very professional. We also really enjoyed the atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Our food, eggplant parm, garlic knots and Stromboli was delicious. The pistachio cake was horrible. Very small slice, more like pie as it was wet. Didn't taste like cake at all. We each took a bite and threw it out. $6 dollars and change wasted.“

“Had dinner there Friday night.“

“I was expecting gelato but it was ice cream. Came to $19 for 2 large cups of sherbert. I was actually looking for coffee but I didn't see any coffee equipment behind the counter. Just the cold brew coffee dispenser next to the drink fridge, so I was a little disappointed. My son got this banana split dessert and really liked it but it was a little expensive - $15.“

Best cannoli I've ever eaten (please don't tell my Italian mother I said that.) 5 stars! This market and cafe was so good that I actually wrote a report on it for my VCU International Marketing class.“

If you do not like the fast food National pizza chains and want real homemade pizza this is one of the best places in town to go!“

“deliciousness my favorite place great staff“

“My husband and I stopped by on our way home. We've driven past multiple times, but since we were hungry this time, we figured we could try their pizza. We came in around 2pm and it was pretty quiet, which was nice. Our server Katie grabbed our drinks, took our orders, and was polite and friendly. The fried pickles tasted fresh, briny, and delicious. The pizza was good with a very tasty crust and tomatoey sauce. The cheese and pepperoni were good. I probably wouldn't order sausage on our pizza again as it didn't taste like Italian sausage, but almost tasted like breakfast sausage, being too sweet. The only downside to our meal was the group of servers standing around to loudly gossip in the hallway right next to the dining room. And the group of children that came running out of the game room in the back rattled the entire room, sending our table and booth to shaking. We'll be back to try them again and look forward to the garlic knots we keep seeing mentioned! Food: 3.5 out of 5 Service: 4 out of 5“

“absolutely one of the best pizza's I have ever had.“

“Food was delicious and the service great! We will be back :)“

“Stopped in late last evening. Ordered Steak & Cheese and it was delicious! Thank you!“

“this one is the best pizza that I have had in years.it reminded me of the pizza at home Brooklyn“

“I ordered a 12inch Florentine pizza with only half of the usual cheese and he delivered an awesome, delicious pizza! The crust was perfectly crunchy on the outside and so soft & fluffy inside and the perfect amount of garlic on the pizza...If I lived in Norfolk, this would be my go-to pizza place! Thank you, Town Center Pizzeria“

“Family favorite spot!! Great customer service supper friendly serving up a traditional New York style pizza. We don’t go anywhere else.“

“I dont have a car today and ordered myself "brunch" (ziti & knots) the food that came was fresh and absolutely delicious. The delivery guy was friendly as well. Now I'm full and happy lounging on my couch, feeling good about ordering from Sals this morning.“

“If you want great pizza subs etc than this local pizza restaurant is the one Eat or order here and you’ll keep coming back for more“

“Was here on Halloween 10/31/2024. This was not the same place and service as prior times. Was advised Pizza was an hour. Placed order for subs instead, took an hour and 15 minutes to get a meatball sub. Was not offered a comp for the meal. Kitchen staff did not seem rushed, saw three walk out of Kitchen to socialize. The service certainly declined.“
