Reviews for Vino Italian + Bistro in Chesapeake, VA
Expensive waste of a meal and time. Went as a party of 5 on a Saturday evening at 8pm with reservations. Seated promptly. Our... waitress was very friendly, our drinks came promptly, but that's the only positive I have to share. We ordered 2 pizzas, 2pasta dishes, 2 appetizers, and a small plate meat item. A different waitress brought our food out, first appetizer, next apizza, followed by a 10 minute wait before a pasta came, another appetizer, a wrong dish, and then nothing. Our waitress hadforgotten to put our full order in, and those of us who received our meals ended up having cold food while waiting for thecorrect items to come out, over 30 minutes later. We were not offered anything to make up for an expensive waste of a meal andtime. We've been to this location in the past, usually to order carryout. Never any issue with that. Will not return.

Great food and service! You can tell a lot of care goes into choosing entrees and ingredients - everything tasted fresh and... delicious. Asparagus appetizer, house bread, capri salad were all amazing, veal saltimbocca and antipasto pizza were greatentrees, and cheesecake for dessert was perfect! Good drinks, too. Definitely recommend and will be coming back! Update 10/2022- Took my in-laws for another great meal! Arancini is HUGE and delicious - absolute must-try appetizer! Got focaccia bread as anapp as well, also very good. My rigatoni abruzesse entree was good, spicy but not too much, sausage in there is very nice.Recommend adding chicken. Wife got the gnocchi and added chicken and mother-in-law got the parmesan-encrusted salmon - they bothenjoyed! Great wine options! Update 11/3/22 7:00 PM - Ordered 3 pizzas takeout and they were all delicious, toppings piled highand crust perfect, but gee was the process of obtaining them difficult! Went to pick them up and only one was made, so thehostess asked the kitchen to make the other two and they proceeded to only make one of them, so then we had to wait AGAIN forthe third pizza. Downgraded from 5 stars to 4, hopefully they redeem themselves if we decide to bring our business back. Read more
My husband and I always enjoy our visits here. Ella was our server today and she did an excellent job. We usually dine on... Sundays, mid-day and are surprised they are not busy. The Focaccia is excellent! Treat yourself to this as an appetizer. Myhusband always orders the lasagna, which features spinach and I?ve had a variety of good dishes. Nice atmosphere, and cozy.

The ambiance and family friendly atmosphere was great. Make sure to have a reservation as there was bit of a wait other than... that drinks/food was great and service was exceptional!! Read more
The food and drinks were somewhat overpriced for the quality thereof. The ingredients seemed to have been used in a sparing way... ultimately resulting in a lack of flavor in some way or another. The service was also lackluster. I came with a large party andour waitress only came by our table about 3 or 4 times until it was time to pay the bill. Additionally, I think that it?sridiculous that our large party was charged a gratuity despite the fact that the checks were split and there was hardly anyoneeven in the restaurant. I?ll likely never return mostly because it was just so average. I?ll just make my own Italian food, howhard is it to boil pasta? Read more
I really enjoyed everything ordered, very fresh and authentic tasting. Our waitress was not very attentive (busy, end of shift... etc), but next time we'll dine in at an earlier time since it was about 1.5hr before closing. I definitely will return, theportion sizes are great and the drinks were tasty too. I really loved the vibe of the restaurant, and the decor was very nicetoo. The Hostess and the Bartender were amazing and super nice, thank you! Read more
Very 50's NYC italia feel. Great flavor in the sauces. I didn't taste the gorgonzla in the gnocchi much. Great friendly... service. Read more
Cozy and a perfect spot to get away for some great food. Oysters Rockefeller are outstanding if you're looking for a starter. ... Overall food is good. Eaten pretty much the entire menu at some point and there are more hits than misses. You cannot go wrongwith pizza cooked in a wood stove oven. Service has been and always will be very good. The staff is knowledgeable, efficientand aims to please. You will likely find this spot to be more ambient than practically anywhere else in Great Bridge. Crowded Italian market in the area thst definitely has its own niche Read more
