Wife here, and I'm still raving about my incredible experience at this hidden gem! I was lucky enough to be invited by a close friend, and from the moment we walked in, I knew we were in for a treat. The food was truly phenomenal - authentic Italian cuisine that's clearly made with love. The chicken Alfredo was phenomenal! I also enjoyed the cozy, family-owned atmosphere. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to anyone looking for a genuine Italian experience.

Pretty tasty😋 If you are looking for a family restaurant this is the place. Service was a a little slow but the food was worth the wait. The portions are generous, but they should be at the price charged. You should go with someone and split the dish. Then it’s priced perfectly.

Old school Italian place on Little Creek. When I knew I was coming to the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area to see some old Navy buddies, I Googled for great pizza places in the area, as that is my favorite food. Regino’s got on my radar and I bookmarked it. I went in today just after they opened. There were already customers at two tables. The friendly waitress greeted me and told me to find a table. I sat and she brought me a menu and I asked and received an ice water. I had already perused the menu the night before on Google Maps so I knew what I wanted. I ordered a 16” sausage, mushroom, & pepperoni. The pizza came to my table pretty darn quick and it was a thing of beauty. I just sat there admiring it for a few minutes. I was only able to eat three slices, and it was pizza perfection. Everything that I thought it would be. The cheese, crust, and ingredients were first rate. If I lived in the area, this would be a weekly stop for me. I will miss it when I fly back home to Thailand next week.

Perfect stop after Norfolk Botanical Garden – a memorable lunch at Regino’s We stopped in for lunch at Regino’s right at noon after a lovely stroll through the nearby Norfolk Botanical Garden. It was the perfect location for a quick yet meaningful visit. It was our first time dining here, and we were warmly welcomed and quickly seated by the gracious host. The restaurant is quaint and cozy, filled with classic charm—family photos, local newspaper articles, and vintage details that reflect its deep roots in the community. We were celebrating my mother-in-law’s birthday, and the staff made it feel special from the start. The menu featured authentic Italian fare. After a short wait, we enjoyed fresh seafood pasta and a delicious pizza served on a tall stand. The flavors were outstanding. Warm bread with complementary butter was brought to the table, and we shared a glass of Cabernet with our meal. To top it off, the restaurant surprised us with a beautiful platter of cannolis drizzled with chocolate sauce—a perfect birthday treat and a sweet ending to a memorable meal. Regino’s is a hidden gem, and we’re already looking forward to coming back.

My partner and I dined in for our last night in the area. The place had a more quiet and down to earth atmosphere that was perfect compared to the other hustle & bustle places to eat closer to the beach. The service was amazing and they served great portions. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone passing by!

"Local Gem" is the perfect summary for Regino's. The food was excellent and plentiful. Homemade with fresh ingredients. Our server was a delight. She was attentive and helpful as well as personable. Authentic Italian fare that is hard to come by in Coastal VA. The lampshades could use a dusting and there were a few too many knickknacks for my taste, thus 4 stars for atmosphere. Don't let that keep you away from this wonderful restaurant. We will definitely become regulars at Regino's!

We attended a seminar held on Monday June 9 at Regino’s Restaurant, at lunchtime. The food was amazing. I had the Chicken Parmesan with a salad. The portion was huge and I brought home the leftovers. The tenderness of the chicken along with their delicious sauce and mozzarella was so so good!! I highly recommend. Our server was Mary and she answered all my questions about their menu choices and was prompt and courteous! Definitely going back..

Cool, retro ambiance, but frankly, the pizza sucks. Soggy bottom. Second straight, and final, time this has happened here - hardly any sauce and was loaded with poorly cooked veggies. Really when you ask for a veggie topping they make a salad on top. Talk about flop! If you pick up a slice it pulls away from the crust. You gotta eat it with a fork. Let's not even talk about undercarriage.... And way overpriced. Charged $4 for soda water. There is hope. Like I said, great old school ambiance, and the pizza crust actually is pretty good and airy if they cooked it right. I want you guys to do so much better because you can. A few easy corrections (except maybe a new oven), and you've got a wonderful Italian restaurant. You have incredible brand potential. If I had the money, I'd consider buying and fixing up the place.

This restaurant is great! If you haven't eaten there yet, do yourself a favor. I went with a group of women and I trusted the Italian American woman who selected this location. The Yelp pictures were not very interesting to me so if it hadn't been for my friend's recommendation I might not have gone there. The outside is very unimpressive! The inside could definitely use a face lift. BUT the food is absolutely excellent, the service is impeccable and the prices are reasonable. Not only is the food super good the portions are huge!!! I'm not a big portion person but it totally justifies the price. Every one of the 9 persons in my group absolutely loved their dinner. Now, it is very difficult to completely please that many women. Everyone in the group was happily overwhelmed by the taste of the food and the size of the portions. Very simply - WE LOVED IT!!!!! I can't wait to go back!!!! I planned to take a picture of some of the plates. However, I became so wrapped up in my own that I forgot. Sorry! However, I did take a picture of the menu.

Service is good and prices are fair. Its a nice personable joint but needs an upgrade. Although the portions are huge, some of the dishes are a hit and miss. One dish was watery and another had cheese way too rubbery. Its garlic overload so not really Italian tasting. On a good note, the calamari was good.

It's been several years since I wrote a review, but we have never stopped going here. There is NOTHING I love more than a locally owned place that makes everything fresh. And Regino's never disappoints. We supported them all through the pandemic shut down ordering takeout (which we had never done before from this restaurant), and they were on point the entire time. No loss of quality or service. That was highly appreciated! Since things have opened up we've eaten in several times to our delight, but tonight decided to order takeout again (didn't feel like going out). Once again Regino's delivered the awesomeness. We started with a tomato and mozzarella salad. They make their own Moz - need I say more? As always, full of flavor. It does come on a bed of romaine with black olives and peppers, none of which is needed. I did throw a little more balsamic on it at home, but nevertheless wonderful. I got the lasagna - OH my! Fresh made pasta, homemade sauce, sausage (that I am pretty positive they make in house) and that lovely tomato sauce. It was such a big portion (like all of their entrees are), that I am having the rest for lunch tomorrow. Hubby was in the mood for pizza, so we got a medium with extra cheese. As always yummy. This is not a textbook NY style, but that's ok. The crust is always amazing, cooked to perfection and the sauce is SO good! If you are in the area - GO here! You will not be disappointed with the food or the portions (come hungry). Support local.

The food is great. The portions are enormous. I live in Indianapolis, and visit my kids here in town. Regina's is my favorite place in both here and indianapolis. Indianapolis has some great Italian restaurants, but none are as good as Reginos. Ginny is my favorite server of all time, and Rowena makes a great Manhattan. I recommend this place very highly.

This place is good!! We came for valentine's day and waited about 15-20 minutes for a table, not bad at all. The calamari was cooked perfectly, crispy but not overcooked. I ordered chicken parm with spaghetti and it came out amazing! I would've liked to taste a little crunch but with all that sauce i didn't. However, the cheese was crispy on the edges and overall a great dish. My husband had the 2 pork chops (fried) and they were HUGE!! On the way out, we got to see a fresh, pepperoni pizza & it looked delicious! The crust looked nice and fluffy, not too thick/thin and i can't wait to try that next time!

Excellent food. Lasagna was a little light on the noodles but other than that it tasted great is spaghetti and meatballs were very good.

I have passed this restaurant many times over the years. Decided to give it a try today and was pleasantly surprised. When you first walk in, you get the sense that this is a family owned place. It is very relaxed. That being said, the prices are a bit steep, but they make it worth the price. They don't try to go fancy with their food selection and that is a good thing. My manicotti was huge and tasty. My partners "small" chicken Alfredo was enjoyed by him. Overall, I am happy with my experience and plan to return to try their pizza.

Normally love it and everything for over 40 years--but must of been someone new in the kitchen Pasta with whole sausage had NO SAUSAGE just tomato sauce --was supposed to at least have meat sauce and the -small chicken parmigiana had Three (3) bites of chicken masked with lots of lain tomato sauce and little cheese --dinner was a nightmare and ruined--they said they would give me one free dinner on their books--truly was crying For future make sure owner supervises your order

This place is great for what it is. I like the atmosphere and our waitress was great. The only reason it didn't get five stars was the price of soda was $4 each. When I got the bill I thought there was a mistake lol. I'll go back but stick with water next time.

I wanted to take my siblings out for dinner on Friday evening, and they really wanted Alfredo. I did some searching on Yelp and decided upon Regino's. To sum it up frankly, the food was just great. The service was very disappointing. To start, our waitress was rude. My brother and sister agreed it wasn't just me. We were one of the only tables seated in the restaurant and it was 5pm, not close to close or anything. Taking our orders, she had a bad attitude. I asked for cheesy garlic bread and mozzarella sticks for us to start with, then ordered my entrée of Shrimp Scampi. She was writing for a good 10 seconds and my brother started to order and she put her palm out in front of him motioning to stop talking and said "hold on," without even looking at him. Then, she asked me what pasta I wanted with it. I didn't realize I had to choose, which isn't a problem, the way she cut him off was just not very nice. Then (this was really odd to me), upon realizing we finished our complimentary bread (delicious, by the way, freshly baked, warm and soft on the inside with a nice crust on the outside), she asked if we wanted more. We said yes, and she met us with "But you just ordered garlic bread. You still want more bread?" Huh?! She offered. Also, drinks were $4 and she didn't really offer refills except for once. Anyway, I could probably go on and on, but I should just talk about the food now. We wanted ranch for our cheesy bread and mozzarella sticks, which we asked for (not without being met with a surprised stare), and it was never brought to us. However, both appetizers came out after about 20 minutes and were simply delicious with the marinara sauce served. It all tasted homemade. The cheesy bread was more of that fresh baked bread, topped with bubbling cheese and real garlic. The mozzarella sticks were perfect. The breading was seasoned wonderfully and the cheese was how it supposed to be, gooey and hot. Notice the photo of my sister doing a "cheese pull". The entrées came after about 30 minutes. Both my brother and sister got chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. My brother finished his entire serving. He said it was "bussin". My sister could not finish her portion and took the rest home ("I ate too much appetizers") , but she said it was really good. I had a bite and the sauce was so rich and creamy. With the red pepper flakes available to us at the table, even better. Probably some of the best Alfredo I've tried. My shrimp scampi with angel hair was good. I received a good amount of shrimp to the amount of pasta there was. I really enjoyed the sauce, I love onions and there were lots of those in butter and lemon. It was very lemony in some spots, even though i took out the lemon slices cooked with it, but I still enjoyed it overall with more of that delicious complimentary bread and real butter. Sadly, we didn't have more room for dessert. So... Overall, I'm conflicted here. The food was spot-on for us. There seem to be many regulars here, for good reason, the food is just amazing. I feel a little bad posting a 3-star review, but good service is definitely important, and we felt we didn't get that. As I said, I could continue about everything she did that irked us, but I think I summed it up illustrating her attitude in those 3 scenarios. I still tipped, I almost always do, just because of my personal belief that everyone deserves to make a living with their job. But I don't know... This place has been going for years and years without any issue and maintaining a good rating, so maybe she was just having an off day or something. I will give Regino's another chance sometime.

This place was recommended by My honey for his birthday date night. I wanted to take him to The Porch off Shore drive,, but I definitely appreciate him, suggesting his favorite spot. The fried seafood platter was more than enough to eat there , at home and share the leftovers The service was wonderful the atmosphere was friendly thank you. I actually thought it was the owner that came and sat down with us, but it was hostess, and she made the night even better. I will recommend for just a bite celebration. Anything of that nature I will be returning. maybe for my birthday.

What a comfy, cozy, delightful spot to get some Italian! The Alfredo was INCREDIBLE! And I'd eat the warm basket of bread they bring you all day and all week of only my waistline would let me. Haha. Service is always sweet.

Who doesn't like old school, slightly salty but extremely competent service with tastes like someone's grandma is in the kitchen food? I was a bit skeptical, but the portions were huge and the food was comforting. The bread was fresh and warm and my lasagna hit the spot. Is this the best Italian I've ever had? Of course not! But sometimes you just want something simple and straightforward with huge portions in a comfy cozy setting. Our waitress talked/bullied my husband into trying the spinach soup that she referred to as Greek penicillin since he was a bit under the weather and made the mistake of telling her he was "not hungry," and he ended up regaining some appetite and loving it.

Reginos has been a mainstay of the Norfolk restaurant scene for decades. The food portions are huge and delicious and the pizza is the best in Tidewater.

Typing this as I eat lol they have great food! I had the fried ravioli, garlic bread with cheese, and the chocolate cannoli. Ordered to-go, about a 20 min wait. I would def come back to try the pastas, I just didn't want to order too much haha.

I have been going to Regino's since they were located at Wards Corner. Their Italian dishes and pizzas are outstanding. Highly recommend garlic cheese bread, clams and linguine in white sauce and any pizza they make. Their waitresses are also outstanding.

I love the meatballs! I just get the appetizer, not the pasta dish. They're so good that I forget how much they cost. I get them every time so I don't have much other experience with their menu. I have tried the pizza, garlic bread and Greek salad and it's all been so delish But did I mention the meatballs?

It's been far to long since I've been here. I believe yesterdays meal is my first from Regino's in close to 5 years. Certainly my first since moving to Chesapeake in 2016. I got together with some friends out in Norfolk yesterday and we decided to do some carry out. We ordered an extra large pepperoni pizza and a salad. OMG what an incredible pizza and by far my favorite in Norfolk, or better yet Coastal Virginia (or whatever we're calling it this week (aka Tidewater or Hampton Roads)). There's a lot of good pizza in Norfolk but nothing comes close to Regino's pie. As always, fresh dough, fresh cheese and the gorgeous curled up into little bowls crispy pepperoni. This pizza is such and incredible treat. I managed to eat 3 slices. Believe me if you can eat 3 you're a champ. This is a heavy pie, without being a pan pizza or anything like that, and quite filling. I only wish I had a cold piece to eat for lunch today. Now that the world is opening back up, I certainly need to visit again soon. Any easy 5 stars.

We were looking for a place to eat near the airport before our flight. What a find. Regina's is in an old Pizza Hut... yes, there is an old pay phone still on the wall. You feel like you're in an old Pizza Hut but everything after that changed. The "small" Greek salad serves 4 and is huge. The large feeds 10! It had massive pieces of cheese, cucumber, tomato, egg, olives, salami, and more. We got a large pepperoni and bacon pizza. Soooo good! Huge/thick pepperoni abs real bacon. Our server was so kind abs attentive. If we lived in Norfolk this would be our "go to" pizza place! Don't miss it.

I've been going to Regino's since ... the sixties when they were at Wards Corner! I'm never disappointed! If I were to give their pizza a one bite rating ... bear in mind I've had Lucali's and Sally's! A bit too much flop to put it in the 9s, but we're in Virginia and I have yet to have better!

Okay.. this place is such a gem!!! I was so impressed by the service of this cute place. They were so kind to my kids and even brought them each a brand new toy to keep them entertained while we were dining and then we took them home with us as well. The food was so so yummy. The ranch dressing was some of the best I've had and the house salad did not disappoint to accompany my yummy ravioli. Very reasonably priced. I was able to feed me and my two kids with one meal by adding pasta to my ravioli. The staff was amazing and I would definitely be back the next time I am in VA

Anon V.

Yelp
I'm going to be brutally honest here, and I hope the owners read this and make some changes. 1. The food is way overpriced. A pizza in a restaurant that needs a deep cleaning and interior update should not cost upwards of $30. The pricing is not competitive for the area and the pasta served with entrees comes from a box. It's not fresh, meaning it costs pennies and very little time to make, yet mine was over cooked and mushy instead of a nice Al dente. I can make a better spaghetti at home with store bought sauce and I'm not saying that to be mean, it's just honest. You guys need to do something different. Boxed mushy pasta and $30 pizzas aren't cool. 2. $4 for a drink on top of the overpriced entree. Want fries with a $13 sub? That's $5 extra. So for a drink, a sandwich, some fries, taxes and a tip I'm out about $25- if I leave a light tip. 3. Unfortunately, this is one of those spots I'm forced to semi-frequent, so I'm very familiar with the menu and the food-- I've tried something from just about every category and never once thought it was worth the price. Not once. Not the eggplant parm, not the chicken parm, not the insanely overpriced Vesuvius pizza, not the iceberg lettuce salads with cheap cold cuts, not the appetizers that cost as much as an entree... I like the bread. I'd say I like the diet soda, but the last time I saw my bill I didn't think that was worth $4 either. 4. If I'm going to spend this high-end restaurant type of money in a night out, I want a high-end experience-- and you don't offer that to customers. The restaurant itself is always dirty. There's knick knacks and clutter everywhere that serve as a resting place for dust and dirt, old family pictures which are a little creepy, light fixtures over tables that look like the last time they were cleaned was never, the horrible fake green plant thing right at the entrance. It's not a good thing that the last time this place was updated was the seventies-- it's gross, and with the prices this place charges for it's food some of that should've went into the dining area for the customers. 5. Get more help. The nice elderly lady who is always the server is nice, but she's one person and doesn't do an outstanding job of remembering to get things people ask for, particularly since she doesn't write much down. 6. If I could recommend you guys to a restaurant improvement show, I really would and I don't mean that in a rude way at all. If this place would modernize the food and the restaurant and get out of 1970 with 2030 pricing, it wouldn't be bad. From now on though, all I'm ordering when the one weirdo in my life who actually likes this place drags me here is a glass of water.

WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND WONDERFUL FOOD. Don't let the appearance fool you, it's a little dated but if you give it a chance like we did you will not regret it . The food tastes very authentic, and very fresh. The staff was extremely nice and conversational. We ordered the chicken parm, it was very tender and fried nicely. wasn't over cooked. the sauce was to die for, my husband loved it. We also ordered the 12 in pizza which was a nice size . It had old fashioned pepperoni on it which were so tasty and different. We really loved it, much better then any other pizza place we have tried around here honestly. Oh also the staff was so nice they gave our son some toys, looked like they might keep them in the restaurant for when kids come to give them a free new toy. super sweet. Not sure if they always do that but for our experience it was truly wonderful. HIDDEN GEM.! :)

I heard about Regino's from a friend, and I decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did! I only went in to pick up three pizzas for takeout for a small group a the house. After looking over the menu, I ordered a plain cheese pizza (for the young kids), a pineapple & ham pizza (for the older kids), and a specialty veggie pizza (for the adults). While waiting, I sat at the bar, ordered a drink, and struck up a conversation with the friendly folks seated next to me and behind the bar. I could tell that a lot of folks at the bar and tables were regulars (always a good sign, as it means a lot of repeat customers coming back for good food). As I waited for the pizzas to cook, the hostess brought a small plate of antipasto free of charge--she probably noticed my mouth watering as plates of food went past. The owner (or manager) made the rounds, talking to guests around the restaurant like they were old friends. After my pizzas were ready, I paid and left. At home, I tasted the pizza, and WOW! I can only speak for the specialty pizza since I didn't try the other two myself*, but it was a delicious gourmet delight! I confess I was a little caught off guard by the price, which was about $10 more than I typically pay for a large pizza, but it was worth every penny--it was all fresh ingredients, no skimping on the toppings, perfectly cooked, and so flavorful. (*The kids reported their pizzas were delicious as well.) The bottom line is that Regino's has the feel of a family-run Italian restaurant where they really know and take care of their regular customers while welcoming new customers (like me) like we're already regulars. The food is excellent and reasonably priced for its quality. I can't wait to go back for the full dine-in experience.

Regino's is okay. The portions are huge, but the food itself could use some work. The inside is a little outdated, but cozy. The bread they served when we sat down was the best part. It was nice & warm, had a crunchy outside & a soft inside. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer. It was pretty good, nicely breaded & came with lemon and marinara sauce. You can choose the type of pasta with whatever sauce you want. I chose shells alla vodka with chicken. It looked like mac and cheese the sauce had so much cream. The taste was a little off, not like other alla vodka's I've had in the past.

I understand that employees are working hard during COVID. Sadly, this restaraunt has a lot more than COVID to worry about. First, I will start by saying you can tell that a LOT OF LOVE goes into their food and preparation. An area for improvement is EFFICIENCY in MOBILE SERVICE AND ORDERING. They are ATTEMPTING to be as efficient as possible maintaining "in house" dining, while JUGGLING call-ins AND mobile ordering! HOW can they improve? Well first of all, the DESIGN of the restaraunt is not conducive to EXPEDITING and Quality Checks. There is a 1985 something Ivy/Rose Trellis that several staff seem to be wrestling with to see tickets. While this certainly offers "old world charm" in someone's opinion, it's not good to have it on the line where food is being wrapped and expedited. The Manager is having to "micro-manage" every aspect of what is being done. SUGGESTION - ON WEEKENDS ESPECIALLY!!! Get a DEDICATED Staff to handle mobile/call in orders. Most restaraunts funnel all call in and mobile traffic through a Bartender. Your problem is EVERYONE is trying to do EVERYTHING.... And you're getting in your own way!!! (This is a MANAGER PROBLEM... not a front line employee issue. The dedication and passion is there. Needs some major refinement! Best of luck in getting it tightened up, please join us with that nostalgic Italian Cuisine in 2021!

Where do I begin? This place is incredible. By far my go to for Italian. Everything is made to order. It is fresh, tastes home made; and is sooo delicious. Let's start with the warm bread. Perfect slices of bread that's crusty on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. I've found few places in the US that has perfected bread like that. Now, from the outside, it almost looks like it used to be an old Pizza Hut. But don't judge a book by its cover. The whole experience makes it feel like your own Italian family is cooking for you. Don't expect the food to come out in 15 mins. It takes a while because everything is made to order, so be prepared to wait longer than you may be used to. And IT IS 100% WORTH THE WAIT. This time I ordered the scallop fettuccine Alfredo and my friend ordered the large chicken parm. My scallops were massive and it seemed like every time I turned over a noodle, there was another giant scallop that was cooked to perfection. Not overcooked like I've iften found. And They definitely didn't skimp on the good stuff unlike many places that will give just a few small pieces of seafood to save on costs. This place definitely doesn't. The Alfredo was obviously home made and to die for. My friends chicken parm was so large , it'll easily be a second meal. Prices are higher than you might expect, but you pay for what you get. This isn't Olive Garden or another Italian chain. It's fresh made with high quality ingredients that's served by people that will make you feel like family. I could go on, but I'll stop with this... this is the place for AMAZING Italian comfort food. Served hot, home made, to order, and fresh AF by a wonderful staff. Don't waste your money anywhere else!

I have eating there off and on for 45 years first at the wards corner location later at little creek road the same waitress is there now when I started eating there still own by the same family. How many restaurants could last this long if they were not good.

I'd give this place 10 stars if I could!! This is a once a week minimum for me! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The Greek salad is amazing! Fresh as it gets I am pretty sure they slice the cheese fresh off the block! The feta is so creamy and in nice big chunks, 10 out of 10! The pizza sauce is to die for, every ingredient is fresh and you can tell is made from scratch and all fresh cut veggies! The staff is so friendly, it's a family owned restaurant and you can tell every dish is the real deal family recipes! They remember you face when you come. They have a great seating area and the vibe is very cool! I have lived next to Regino's most of my life and only discovered it in the last 6/7 months and it makes me sad I have missed out on their delicious food for so long! Anyone living in the area I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend to try a pizza or any pasta, or cannoli!

Old school Italian restaurant-love it! Their spaghetti sauce is wonderful. I've tried to recreate at home without success. Their pizzas are yummy with thick pepperoni slices. The greek salad is huge and loaded with goodies. We always have leftovers. The waitstaff is excellent. I give it 5 pizza slices!
