Very kind lady she makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in the food is top tier. The pistachio cake is the most delicious cake I've ever had. The place is small but very cozy. I enjoyed listening to the regulars speak Italian. I am coming here again for sure. Thank
If you are not Italian or white and love real authentic Italian food this is NOT your place. They're not very friendly to those of us who enjoy experiencing other cultures. I'll keep searching and let you guys know when I find a place that's friendly to everyone.??

I have been here 3 times and the food is amazing every time! I recommend getting any of the specials they have that day. The pesto gnocchi was one of the best Italian dishes I have had. The variety of authentic wines they have available is unlike any other restaurant in the Virginia Beach area. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Italian food and wine!

This was my first time dining at Marchese's and it wont be the last. The food is amazing and accompanied with outstanding service. We had stuffed shells, lasagna, jalapeño poppers, and a lot of deserts! The owner, Annamaria, was a pleasure to be around. She made it feel like we were guests at her own home back in Italy. You just can't find an experience like this anywhere else!
When I arrived, it wasn't busy. I ordered to go and it took about 15 minutes but it was the wrong dish so I had to wait another 15 minutes. There were 2 waitresses and the taller one was rude and unfriendly. The other waitress went out of her way to give me water while I was waiting. As soon as the first order got to me, the rude waitress grabbed my water without saying anything. I was still drinking it. Then the other waitress gave me another water.I didn't even say anything to the rude waitress. She started venting to me about what it was like to be a waitress. I didn't feel that was appropriate. She was complaining to me.I went to pay for it and she said that I couldn't use a gift card. I didn't think that was true. The owner apologized for her and said I could use the gift card.I ordered the rigatoni with tomato sauce and meatballs. There was very little tomato sauce and rigatoni.It was mostly ground beef. I was disappointed. The meatballs had a strange flavor. The salad had very little balsamic dressing and the bread was stale.It was very hard to find parking. I had to park in another shopping area.I do not recommend this restaurant.

Had an absolute beautiful first time experience for my husband's birthday . We're from the north and have been missing a good Italian deli and cup of coffee. Marchese did not disappoint. I love the family atmosphere and local atmosphere. From the first cup to the sauce we were catapulted back home and enjoyed every sip and bite. Instantly a favorite and will be returning regularly.
