Restaurants near Kempsville Plaza Shopping Center

Excellent place to have a nice Italian meal. The service was very good.

I have to say I’m impressed with my 1st time visiting, the whole staff was amazing & worked as a team but our waitress Stacie was the best I could ask for, very polite & held great conversation I felt like she’s my friend now. She promoted the specials & recommended entrees & appetizers based on her personal preference. Stacie continued to check in on us periodically & made sure we had EVERYTHING we needed. Food &drinks were 10 out of 10, I will be returning, GREAT JOB!!!

Visited the day after Valentine’s Day, still pretty busy but they seem to have it organized. The only thing that caught me off guard that after still making at 430om reservation, I was walked all over the restaurant for seating. There were clearly multiple 2 seater areas but was walked outside down a side walk into a tent where they had other diners. It was pouring raining and I asked the server, why was it necessary for me and my fiancé to be seated outside in the cold and rain in a overflow dining tent. Her response was it is heated. I honestly looked around and there were 8 other African American couples eating outside as well. My first observation that people of color were the only people sitting outside. Perhaps coincidence, perhaps random seating. I asked the hostess if any other seat was available and she said is something wrong. I said, they’re clearly seats inside, is pretty cold and raining and I rather not have my food transported throughout the restaurant, pass the bathroom, lobby and waiting area, outside in the rain, uncovered and down a side walk. She agreed and took us back inside and sat us immediately. From there on everything was fantastic! Server was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant was clean. Food was top notch.

It was an excellent dining experience. The greet staff was good. The waiter was great. He was attentive and listened well. The food was top shelf. We will be back again. DR. JMW
