This was a first visit for us to Mannino's. Very good meal, but not happy that our waitress, Holly, shorted us $20 when she brought the change. She corrected the problem and apologized.

Our first visit and it was as good as we had heard. Big delicious fried green tomatoes and the She Crap soup lived up to its reputation with lots of crab. The pasta special, lasagna, and fried oysters were all great. Probably the best Italian restaurant we have visited in Hampton Roads. Holly and all the staff were friendly and... More

This is a great place to enjoy a terrific meal. Service is great. Not on the beaten path, so look it up for directions and get yourself there. Good drinks, good food, and good service is the plus. Really enjoyed this evening with family!

While in town for a class for a week, I found myself dining at Mannino's three nights out of four. Excellent food at a reasonable price. Most pasta dishes in the $15-17 class, but the quality merited the price. Excellent bread. The Vodka Pasta was my favorite with the sausage pasta in a cream sauce with artichoke hearts being a...

I'd been meaning to come back with my husband since he's the bigger Italian food eater in our family. We decided on the Pleasure House Rd location since it's closer.... More

This is our favorite local neighborhood restaurant. Absolutely best Italian in Virginia Beach, and better than lots of restaurants I've eaten at in Italy... Great food and great service at reasonable prices. No surprise it's ranked number 1 at the Beach. The calimari is delicious, although you better be hungry as it's a huge portion (It would be great if... More

We always have great food and above average service, but during our last visit, Jeannine took especially good care of us. Can't wait to return!

Really loved the She Crab soup and the Chicken Giavanni! My husband thought the Chicken Parm was outstanding. Our waitress, Maryellen, was very attentive. She made us feel very welcome. E.G.
