This restaurant was truly impressive. The service, atmosphere and food was great! This restaurant embraces customer service. I loved that their was valet (even though the garage was right next door). \t\nThe food is true italian-cuisine. If you are like me and not very adventurous with "cuisine" try the ravioli or brick-oven pizza. They are both tasty and leave you craving it at a later date. Each person at my table tried a desert and voted that the Napolean was the best. A nice touch was the manager came over to the table, introduced himself and made sure everything was okay. \t\nI would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family and would also suggest it to anyone looking for a romantic place to eat. ...read more

Once the jewel of downtown Norfolk, this restaurant has fallen. First they were out of the wine we ordered, then the waitress broke the cork in the bottle of our second selection. My salmon was way overcooked as was my husbands steak. We would have sent back our entrees had someone come to check on us. There was "live entertainment" that night, some sort of a Frank Sinatra impersonator, that was so loud and off key we had to shout across the table to hear each other. When we asked to see a manager on our way out the hostess in a nice way explained that the restaurant was going through some "changes" and did not have a manager and that she would get the bartender to help us. Not the romantic scene we were looking for to celebrate our anniversary. Definitely the worst dining experience we have had in long time. ...read more

It's a great place before or after your visit o the Scope or Chrysler Hall. The food is Continental, and I've been happy with the meals and atmosphere. It's a large place, as downtown restaurants go. Use the valet parking on busy nights; it's worth it. ...read more
