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

“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!“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“We wanted muffuletta sandwiches on Fat Tuesday so we decided to try Clayton's for lunch! Susan & Shakuria were hustling to take care of their customers, they did a great job ensuring we all were served to the best of their abilities & that we received delicious food & beverages as quickly as they could provide them. They worked well as a team, Susan taking orders & serving and Shakuria cooked all the delicious food!! I had a yummy Muffuletta with Mac & cheese and hubs had fries with his. Their Mac & cheese is crazy good, the best l've had in a restaurant! Susan mixed up a tasty lemon drop martini for me, it's difficult to get a good lemon drop anywhere in the 757 and this one was a favorite! Clayton's has a good selection of $1 beers, yes a can of beer is only $1, so hubs had and local IPA & a PBR! We enjoyed our experience at Clayton's & definitely recommend! If we hadn't been set on having muffulettas I would have ordered their special of the day, a butter burger with fries for $8.99! On Monday I sent Clayton's an email inquiring if they would be serving muffulettas for Fat Tuesday since we live 30 minutes away and received a timely reply from the owner, Ralph Anderson, I was happy to see that they provide great customer service from beginning to end!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We are in town for a youth football tournament and my boys found this restaurant looking for pasta and salad. Food was delicious. Will definitely eat here again when we’re back in town.“

“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.“

“Exceptional cuisine, service, and ambience. Thank you Billy & Mary Ellen for creating a spectacular venue!“

“It was a girls trip to Virginia Beach and we need some Italian food. Let me just say…this restaurant did not disappoint. First the bread oil dip was UNBELIEVABLE. So many flavors in this little dish.
Next up was the clams casino and carpaccio… the clams were so crispy and fresh tasting. The carpaccio was sliced sooo thin and the arugula was dressed perfect.
One of the girls ordered the linguine with clams and it had so many clams and the sauce was so flavorful. The chicken francese was cooked perfect. It doesn’t come with pasta but you can add it for $5. Do it.
We were too full for dessert but the options were plentiful and everything is made in house.
Can’t wait to go back.“

“A truly genuine Italian experience with top notch hospitality and some of the most delicious foods I've ever tasted. These are the kinds of meals that make your life better. 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.“

“Best pizza around. It is a light thin crust that melts in your mouth.“

“That had me @ the 1st bite. Fresh smoked mozzarella ,fresh mushrooms and meatballs on a delicious hand tossed thin crust. The best pizza in Virginia Beach. Service was wonderful, as well. We will definitely be back to try the subs and pastas before we leave. Thanks guys!“

“Delicious food, friendly knowledge staff and a relaxed cozy atmosphere.“

“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“

“I love the food and the staff and of course the atmosphere!

They always take good care of us and the food is delicious. I've had five different dishes here and all of them have always been great.

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“
