Business Description from the Web
High-ceilinged rooms and shimmering white walls decorated with plaster reliefs give this venerable downtown Norfolk restaurant a sophisticated look. Two large dining rooms can accommodate large gatherings. The wait staff has a professional though friendly air about them. The pizza oven produces a wonderful crusty loaf, akin to sourdough, along with focaccia and the canvas for a number of pizza...

From the valet outside to the high ceilings and rich decor inside, it can be romantic (in a bustling, trendy kind of way) to downright hip.

This is the best italian restaurant that I have ever been to! They are very upscale and there menu options are amazing. I suggest the chicken alfredo or the chicken parmesan. They have a delectable dessert tray that goes around every once and awhile with amazing cheesecake... I definitely recommend this restaurant!
Once the jewel of downtown Norfolk, this restaurant has fallen. First they were out of the wine we ordered, then the waitress broke the cork in the bottle of our second selection. My salmon was way overcooked as was my husbands steak. We would have sent back our entrees had someone come to check on us. There was "live entertainment" that night, some sort of a Frank Sinatra impersonator, that...
