   Carli was our server- very attentive and if something was forgotten she was quick to apologize. Penne arriabiatta was indeed spicy, so be forewarned (I love spicy). Portions were huge. Was quite busy (Friday night) and glad we made a reservation.

   Good food, huge portions. The waitstaff were a little overwhelmed with each other, because we could hear the comments under their breath everytime they walked past our table. Best to keep that stuff to the breakroom. Overall though, good meal. It’s not on the oceanfront though, it’s a block over facing the street, next to Pocahontas pancakes. Street parking is metered. I didn’t like the additional “city tax” ontop of the sales tax…especially because not every establishment is charging that. An explanation to diners would be great of what that charge is for. Name it “for our staff” and I’ll gladly give more.

    Went with reservations and were immediately seated. Service was good and the food was excellent. I had clams and linguine. It was the best I’ve had in a long time. Bread was delicious and warm. Was served with oil and balsamic vinegar. This was our first time to Virginia Beach and I would come back just to eat at Manninos again

    I was very impressed with the food and the service (we had Noah as our server but the hostess was also very nice and professional) we had at Mannino's. We would not have gotten in without our reservation so I am glad we had one. The sausage and mozzarella appetizer was outstanding. I could have ate that and the table bread and been quite happy. The penne a la vodka was fantastic, as was the lasagna. The Scampi Fracese that our friend had looked spectacular and he said it was fabulous. I would absolutely eat there again. I mean, a restaurant that PULLS THEIR OWN MOZZARELLA? Can't beat that.

    Very easy to set up reservation on their online site. We were seated right away even though we were a little early. Server came right over and brought water asking if we wanted something else to drink. Took our order. Brought out delicious warm bread and set up our oil dip. Appetizers came out hot and quick. Absolutely delicious. Food came out and was fantastic ! Would highly recommend coming and enjoying some delicious Italian food.

    Food was excellent. We started with the she crab soup. It's wonderful. Next was fried calamari, which was great as well. I had the veal, eggplant, portabella stack and my wife had a lobster ravioli with vodka sauce special. Both were awesome. The marinara sauce is excellent. Of course we brought food home. They give you a lot. Service was great too. High recommended this restaurant if you want good Italian food.

    My husband and I were looking for a good Italian restaurant in Virginia Beach. We found it in Manninos Italian Bistro. The hostess was very welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious, with good portion size. The service was excellent, David P. was our server who was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and wine. He made the experience that more enjoyable. Gloria

    Excellent food and service, worthy of a first-class restaurant. The restaurant itself could use a little updating to be on par with the food and service. Seafood linguine and the bruschetta were standouts.

    Mannino's is my favorite Italian restaurant in the area. I always like to try a different entrée each time we go there and have never been disappointed. This time we brought my daughter and son-in-law along. We shared the antipasto which is a very nice spread. I had the she-crab soup (the best I've tasted in the area). Noah, our server, is excellent, attentive and enjoyable. All-in-all a very pleasurable experience.

    The food and the service was exceptional. My wife loves their eggplant parm. The best she has ever had. The staff couldn't have been nicer and more attentive. Even the manager Julie jumped in and helped out to make sure the customers were all happy and taken care of. I highly recommend making a reservation as this is a popular location especially with locals.

    The crab soup is out of this world. We're Italian and this is how close to Italian you can eat in Virginia Beach. Highly would recommend this place for those who are looking for a great Italian restaurant.

    The server was the best! So accommodating, friendly, courteous and prompt with everything. Scampi Della Casa yummy, not cloying, side cooked spinach cooked perfectly to a soft texture w oil. My sisters linguine con vongole and chicken was and Tiramisu topped off a really good meal! Quiet on a weeknight. One suggestion: seats in booth have thin cushion on a hardwood bench—not so comfortable.

    We were very impressed with the cuisine. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our wine was spectacular, the fried cheese + zucchini was decadent, crab soup is sweet and addictive. Each meal we ordered was absolutely delicious, I can’t imagine you would get a disappointing meal. Tiramisu was a tiramisu lovers dream. I was not 100% convinced I got a cappuccino, it seemed like just delicious straight espresso but along with the tiramisu it was wonderful and I had no complaints. My Italian dinner date night was made a reality, and we will definitely return.

    My parents purchased a place 3 weeks before covid hit in 2020. We are a family that loves food and trying places especially locally owned or non chained. This place had been on our list for a while and we finally went to oceanfront location. OMG! We had the fried mozzarella, bruschetta, clams posillipo, French onion soup, and she crab soup. It was all delicious and their mozz is homemade! It’s hard to even describe how good this stuff was! The broth from the clams could be a soup itself it was so good. Best French onion I think I have ever had and the she crab was delicious and full of crab meat! For dinner we had the shrimp scampi, tortellini and pollo portifino! I got the chicken which I thought was the absolute best! They all enjoyed theirs as well. We got the homemade tiramisu, choc truffles, and cannoli to go because we were stuffed! They were also delicious . They have two locations and we will definitely be back!! Probably one of the best meals we have had in Va Beach!
