Unfortunately I have to say that Im extremely disappointed in the service and the actual meal. First I step in and decide to place the order to go because it was late and the line was long. Im directed to the bar to place my order and the bartender seemed to be annoyed that she had to take our order, I noticed her sarcasm as I placed our order and asked questions about the meals on the menu, I highly recommend management address the young lady in the pink dress! We ordered 4 separate meals, one was a simple spaghetti and meatball-OMG, I dont know but I never asked for the meatballs to be spicy, it was so spicy that I could not eat my dish and had to throw it away after spending $20.00. I was feeding my niece and she couldnt eat it either. Thank god Im on vacation because I would definitely eliminate this place off my list of places to eat!

This is my husband and my favorite restaurant...we call it "our Italian restaurant" and go as often as possible. I love the ambiance, the food, the wait staff and even the location! The spareribs are amazing as are the roasted beet salad, the calamari, veal marsala and the antipasta and roasted garlic platters. Even though I hate eggplant, I love their stuffed eggplant dish...the only thing Ive ordered but wasnt crazy about was the spaghetti and meatballs...too garlicy and dense for me...I like them lighter (Amalfi has the best!). I love this place and recomend it highly, prices are fair, food is great and this place is a true locals joint...I just hope the word doesnt get out too much so I can still get a table when I come!

Dont usually rate places, but considering the response that I just received, I decided to give it a go. I arrived at the restaurant @ 4:55pm. Five minutes before the restaurant opened. I had a conference call starting @ 5pm. I went to open the door and all the employees looked at me and continued chatting amongst themselves. The hostess even looked at me for a few minutes and then went into the back. After my meal I approached the waitress and asked to speak to a manager to express my concern about that incident and she replied that they are all managers and that there is nothing she can do. Needless to say the food was not good enough for me to come back to a restaurant that has very little concern for their customers.

So impressed by this place I had to give it 5 stars. I came here with my girlfriend finally, we live in the area and have never made it out. We both enjoyed our glasses of wine and the bread that was provided. The real star of the show is the pasta we both had-- wow! They do it right here. I recommend the Penne a la Vodka with chicken. My girlfriend got the chicken fettuccini Alfredo which was also amazing, very strong garlic taste which we both loved. If youre looking for a small business that does Italian food the right way, this is it.

Ive been several times and I will say that the food is very good and the service is friendly. However, each time that I have gone Ive attempted to order very simple cocktails without success or even a suggestion of something they could make. I could see the ingrediants behind the bar that were needed but not the willingless to do it. Manhattan or negroni...these are simple drinks known around the world. So, if you are just eating you will be happy, if you want to have a drink with your meal, you may be not.

It was ok, but I didnt like the tiny wine glasses; I would prefer an actual wine glass when I buy a carafe or bottle. We overheard the next table get the specials but we didnt know they had any specials as we werent told. The sausage rigatoni had HUGE noodles which was weird. The tartar sauce and marinara were very nice for the calamari and the veggie lasagna wasnt bad...just a little bland. The staff were ok, not overly friendly though...didnt say goodbye when we left which was odd.

We were in Norfolk for a few days and found Razzo by using the Urban Spoon app on the iPhone. Great atmosphere- a little dark, cozy, great music. We had the Caesar salad (dressing had a bit of a bite and huge shavings of peccorino), fried mozzarella (delicious, the marinara is great), my husband had spaghetti with Italian sausage and marinara and I had the spaghetti carbonara. They were both delicious. So delicious that we are going back again tonight before we leave town

A friend and I had an early Tuesday evening dinner at Razzo. Convenient parking, great ambiance, waitstaff were most pleasant and helpful. Nice selections - the calamari was delicious, offered with the traditional marinara and an interesting second sauce with a hint of lemon. Interesting presentation of caprese. The carbonara was excellent, as was the veal marsala. Home-made canoli cream ... to die for! A memorable meal - I will definitely dine here again!

If I could give negative stars I would. Awful just terrible. I have no clue how people think this is authentic either. Its so dark in there I think so you dont notice your food is undercooked. Got chicken parm and food poisoning. Tasted a bit funny but I just thought it was low quality meat. Will never return. Do yourself a favor and go to reginos on little creek. Youre welcome!

The atmosphere was casual yet classy. Not a conventional Italian restaurant. The food however, was some of the best Ive had from any Italian restaurant. The white lasgna was worth every cent. I would rate the overall experience a 4.6 but only whole stars can be given. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

OMG. What a great place! I have been eating in Norfolk and VA Beach for years and this is by far that best meal I ever had in this area. The Bread is the freshest ever. The Clams in linguine and white sauce was amazing. Prices was very very reasonable. If you are with in 30 min its worth it.

The food is fresh and delicious! Also, I was so impressed with the staff!! Every single staff member did whatever was needed at the moment of need. Incredible teamwork almost as if each person had part ownership and pride in the restaurant. Ran like a fine tuned clock. Good job!

We had a wonderful meal last night w/ pan seared rockfish and crab slaw. We also had a tuna filet wrapped in bacon and both were cooked to perfection. The wine reduction was to dye for. I would highly recommend this place and we cannot wait to go back.

The rock fish was fantastic, crisp outside with juicy inside. The desert was even better. Especially with coffee. Almost forgot to add. The service was speedy and consistent. Waiting staff was friendly and gave very good reccomendations.

Have been to this place multiple times. Always happy with the food and tge service. Tonight there was a snag in us getting our food timely. They brought a complimentary cocktail and kept the warm wonderful bread coming. Lovely evening.

The salad (mainly the dressing) and the bread were incredible... The eggplant would have been much better without a ton of garlic... It kind of ruined my meal... Could not taste anything else than that; and my date sure could smell me!

One of the best authentic Italian restaurants here in Norfolk. A lot of seafood dishes from which to choose. Decent prices and comfortable atmosphere. Great service and excellent food. Limited parking.
