Regino's Italian: Authentic Italian Pizza & Delicious Cuisine in Norfolk

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.

I went yesterday for my birthday. I'm from an Italian family and have been searching for a restaurant that reminded me of my family's old restaurant. It smelled like an authentic Italian restaurant and looked like it as well. The food was amazing, I got Pizzaiola wine sauce on linguine with chicken and it was heavenly. The portions were HUGE, I barely made a dent in my plate and was stuffed. Our server was informative, personable, and sweet. Everything was amazing.

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 place is great! It's been here a while so don't expect modern contemporary, but the menu is large, the portions are large, the food is excellent, and endless bread(!). The prices might seem high at first but you WILL have leftovers. My single meal ended up being three, so each sitting was about the cost of going to McDonalds, but authentic Italian. There's a bar. Also, one of the waitresses has been here for like 40 years and the owner thanks you for coming as you're on your way out the door. I promise you'll be full.

I go to Norfolk at least once annual.. This place is a must go, every single time. The food is delicious, the service is impeccable. The I ky reason this post doesn't have pictures is I've gotten so accustomed to their quality. As soon as it's in front of me, I'm shoveling it down. It's a little gem.. Just go, thank me later.

I ordered the small calamari and I was very pleased with the portion size as well as the extra lemon wedges and the huge amount of sauce they gave me and it came with a roasted loaf of bread however, I wish they would have freed the calamari a little bit better so that it would have been crispier and the breading wouldn't have fallen off so easily. The portion size was appropriate for the price I paid for the food so I was extremely pleased with that as well as the friendliness of the employees

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.
