Il Giardino Ristorante

Fried Mozzarella: 3/5 Chicken Alfredo: 5/5 Chicken Parm: 5/5 Bread: 5/5 Spicy Pepper Dipping Oil: 10/5 Garlic Dipping Oil: 4/5 This place is REALLY good. Inside is fancy but not too fancy, so dressing casually is acceptable. Service was good. Lots on the menu to choose from. Nice portions, not too big and not too small. We had 3 people and split 2 entrees and an app. It was the perfect amount of food. They don’t offer you the dipping oil; well at least our waiter did not. BUT - we did ask if they had any and man am I glad we did! They have the BEST dipping oil I have ever had! The spicy pepper oil is so good… I bought a whole bottle! The garlic is also great! Will be returning!

Drake was our waiter and he made the entire experience amazing ❤️ he was so attentive to our needs and gave our friend special treatment for her birthday. Amazing customer service. The food was awesome but our waiter, Drake, was the one who truly made our night rememberable. He was funny, personable and cool headed even when the restaurant was packed! He truly made our entire experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Please keep this waiter around!!!! We loved him. Sincerely, our picky party of 8!

We had a great experience! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, with live music creating a lively vibe without being overwhelming. There are plenty of TVs at the bar for catching the game, plus a nice outdoor patio if you prefer to relax outside. The main dining room has a comfortable feel, and the al fresco dining option is a great touch. Definitely a great place to enjoy good food, drinks, and a fun evening!

I haven't been to Virginia beach in years probably not since 2014 or 2015. I have thought about this place ever since then and came close to driving the 5 hours just to eat here. Unfortunately, it didn't live up fully to my memories, but still a great place. We enjoyed carppacio, melon and prosciutto, and mozerella caprese as appetizers. Caesar salad was delicious. Bread, oil and parmesan was fabulous and as remembered! My daughter got chicken francese and enjoyed it. I got il Giardino salmon which I thought said it was cooked in white wine sauce. It was brought out with a teriyaki look to it. Cooked perfectly. However, the first bite tasted so fishy like it was bad or just poor quality salmon. The sauce tasted like concentrated teriyaki or something along those lines, but so concentrated it was not pleasant. I didn't eat more than a bite and same for my daughter. My daughter decided to bring it to a nearby homeless man, but I sort of felt bad giving it to him because it tasted so bad. When ordering I couldn't decide between the salmon or chicken parm so I got chicken parm to go. It was good, but again didn't live up to my memories. But worthy of ordering again and at least

Always a good time. Tonight we sat at a hightop table by the bar. I didnt catch my waiters name but he was very well versed and very accomodating. Not a detail was missed.
