Regino's Italian Restaurant

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.

This restaurant is family owned for over 50 years. The food is delicious and plentiful. The servers are awesome and majority of them have been there for years, that’s a good sign that the company takes good care of their employees. Owner has been there every time we have visited and checks on the customers. We now live out of state but always stop in on our visits to the area.

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.

We love to go to Regino's for pizza. There pizza is covered with toppings and has a great taste. I usually only can eat 1 piece, because I am full. My husband and I share the house salad since they give you a big house salad. We haven't tried other dishes, but I am sure they would be good! The prices are good for the size of the portions.

Better to go here for pastas over pizza. The pizza was good, but way too expensive for the quality-price. The baked ziti is amazing!! The meal items seem to be made more for a family style eating, so take that in consideration for the pastas (price still doesn't make sense for the pizza). Staff was great.

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!

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.
