Mannino's Italian Bistro: A Taste of Italy in Virginia Beach

Absolutely delicious food and good quality cocktails. We had fantastic service from the bartender James. The food is very well crafted and authentic. The tortellini mannino was very flavorful and filling, the crab soup was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. I also loved the cozy and intimate setting. Make sure to get a reservation so that you can be seated immediately.

This place was recommended by a colleague and was nothing short of spectacular from start to finish. We were promptly seated upon arrival for our reserved time slot. The She Crab Soup was the best that I've ever and and I now see why they call it award winning. The Crab-tini was a favorite of my wife while I loved the fried oysters. Chicken Parmesan and Lasagna rounded out the meal for us. This place is a must try. We'll definitely be back. Shout out to over server Nick who was on point all night.

We enjoyed our first time at Mannino’s. Everything was delicious! The she crab soup was absolutely amazing.

From the outside you wouldn't expect how great this place is, maybe thats a bad thing but maybe in reality thats what makes it a great thing. From the start bread was plenty and fresh with some oil and balsamic always a perfect pair. Followed by the Best she crab soup Ive ever tasted hands down, the fettuccine con pollo Alfredo was a true Alfredo classic rich in flavor my date loved, I decided on the vitello and portabella stack. I was craving fried eggplant but wanted some meat with my dinner. Fried veal, fried eggplant and fried portobello layered in a basil red sauce topped with melted mozzarella. Id have to say there are so many times I've had a subpar marinara sauce with my pasta or Italian that you pass on it in the future until you eat at a good Italian spot like this place and it reminds your tastebuds again why marinara sauce is what you are really craving when its that delicious. I had a real John Hamm dancing moment there the second I took the first bite, if you can picture that. Very happy to have experienced this place and my date aswell was the perfect place to go too.

First time here. I love Italian food. It was highly recommended by a local. I pulled up 8 minutes before they opened. Other cars pulled up shortly after. It was during a winter storm. I knew that the food would be exceptional if locals were coming out in the midst of a ensuing snow storm. The Crab Soup, the Lasagna Bolognese, and the Tiramasu were the best that I have had in Virginia (Italian food is my favorite). Their spin on the Red Sangria was unexpected but appreciated. Carson was an amazing waiter. There was another server that was just attentive and helpful. I will be a repeat customer many times over as I am here locally for business often.

Absolutely delicious. Book early as they fill up. My friends and I had a wonderful dinner last week. The oyster app and crab soup was dreamy. I want more more more! Service was great too! Will definitely be back.

Very delicious food and service is always great. They have delicious bread and dipping sauce to start off with. Both times I have went I got the salad and the famous she crab soup. I tried the Caesar and not sure what the other salad was called but had walnuts, apple, and blue cheese type. Everyone's food was also delicious! Highly recommend! Mondays is there wine night and they do half off bottles. Pricing is decent as well for what you get.

New year”s eve, reservations for 4 @ 7. Waited 20-30 for table at bar. Not a place to be in a rush. The bartender was busy and attentive, as Diane our waitress. My only real complaint is that it is not an appropriate place to lick the plates. Spent several special occasions here. Never disappoints. The she crab is award winning for reason. You can’t go wrong. We’ve also gotten trays of Marsala and ziti to go. Feeds a bunch of people for cheap and quality food.
