Manninos Italian Bistro Oceanfront

I had the Chicken Parm which was excellent. Great Service. I will happily add Mannino's to the list of restaurants I visit while in Virginia Beach.

Food was fantastic, service was excellent, and it was overall a good time. Prices ended up a bit on the higher side by the end, but everything was of such good quality and volume that it definitely was worth the cost. Will almost certainly return.

Oh, where do I even begin to describe the culinary odyssey that is Maninnos Italian Restaurant in Virginia Beach? From the moment you walk through the door, it feels as if you've been teleported to a quaint trattoria in the heart of Italy, far removed from the bustling shores of VA Beach. Let's talk starters, shall we? The crab soup was not just a soup; it was an ethereal experience. The richness of the broth, teeming with succulent crab meat, was as comforting as a warm hug on a winter day. One spoonful and I knew I was in for an unforgettable meal. Then came the pièce de résistance: Gnocchi Margarita and Fettuccine Alfredo. These weren't just dishes; they were love letters to Italian cuisine, penned in the language of flavor. The gnocchi were pillowy delights that danced in a sea of marinara so vibrant, it could give the Amalfi Coast a run for its money. As for the fettuccine Alfredo, the creaminess was perfectly balanced, enveloping each strand of pasta like a silk robe. Divine is an understatement. Ah, the wine. The red wine was the perfect wingman—smooth, confident, and complimentary, enhancing each bite and taking the whole experience to a level I didn't even know existed. And then, just when I thought I had scaled the peak of culinary Everest, out came the Tiramisu. If I could frame a dessert and hang it on my wall, this would be the one. It was not just a dessert; it was the crescendo of an opera, the climax of an epic saga. The mascarpone was feather-light, and the coffee and cocoa notes were so exquisitely balanced that each bite felt like a standing ovation. Now, let's not forget the service. Award-winning seems almost too modest a term. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being pretentious—a maestro orchestrating an unforgettable dining experience. In short, if you're looking to be swept off your feet, look no further than Maninnos. It's not just a meal; it's a journey, a story, and a love affair with Italian cuisine all rolled into one. Trust me, you won't just leave with a full belly; you'll leave with a full heart. Ed & Kim Simons

Absolutely the best place to visit at Virginia Beach for good quality pasta, appetizers and wine. My family and I visited here for the first time today after visiting Virginia Beach for about 7 years straight and let me tell you this is definitely our favorite. It’s so much better quality food than any of the other restaurants around the area. The Penne A La Vodka WAS TO DIE FOR. The Scallop Appetizer and the Calamari was crispy and magical. Please , please VISIT!!!!

An amazing meal! I enjoyed every bite but I was stunned by the taste of the broccoli, who would've thought. I didn't do the crab soup but the crabtini was delicious 😋 Noah was a wonderful waiter, I'll be back!

Great food. Will definitely be back. Extremely nice staff as well.
