Razzo: Reviews & Ratings
Always a great place for a date, or just going solo. The ambiance is the perfect setting. Food off the charts!!! Great selection of wines and beverages! Staff is very welcoming and very knowledgeable! White lasagna never disappoints! The fried mozzarella is a great appetizer!!
Our table ordered a variety of dishes. The tuna was perfectly cooked and looked delicious. I had the veal saltimbocca, heavenly! The linguine in white clam sauce was also excellent. The place was not very crowded likely due to the extreme weather we had that day! I hope we can dine here again before we leave town.
It’s not often I give a place a full 5 stars but this place met the mark. First time here and the ambiance is pretty quaint but not cramped. We got the calamari and it was a hefty portion with great seasoning and their marinara sauce is to die for. Their warm bread is very soft and tastes great. The white lasagna is not my cup of tea (I’m a huge red sauce fan), but was made very well. The pizza is thin crust style and was super delicious. The rigatoni bolognese is a good portion and even though I prefer marinara sauce vs meat sauce, it was very good. Jessica was our server who was very attentive, gave us some dish recommendations, and provided fantastic service. We’re definitely looking forward to going back!
It's a small fire station built in 1923 on the national registry. It has been renovated into an Italian restaurant. The lasagna, both meat and chicken are very good. The white lasagna is VERY cheesy. The sauce for the meat (not specified) lasagna has just a bit of a kick.
This was a very enjoyable restaurant. The staff is super friendly, drinks from the bar were great and the food .... AMAZING!!! The fried mozzarella was soooo good!! The pizza was amazing and the white lasagna was to die for!! Oh and an additional plus? The free, warm bread to start off with was great!!
I've been wanting to try this place for so many years. And I must say, it is worth the wait. This is one of these places that you come and visit just for the food. There is nothing wrong with the entire place it's clean and simple. Quite basic nothing extraordinary. On the other hand, the food was the highlight of my visit. It was incredibly divine, simple, but super delicious. It speaks for its own. Also, I love that the servers are quite attentive and make that they're guest are well taken care of. Overall, it was a wonderful dinner. I would definitely come back hopefully soon. Thanks, everyone, for such an amazing job. i
This is a nice little Italian place to eat at in Norfolk. I lived in Italy for 6 years and am a very hard judge of Italian food and this passes as a good place. For an appetizer I got the asparagus with prosciutto. The asparagus could have been cut better, the ends were very hard and should have been cut off. For the main I got the veal Parmesan and it was delicious. For dessert I ordered the cannoli and it was perfect! The cream filling consistency was correct and well-balanced. The servers were polite and had good conversations with us. They also didn't hold us to their house rules which was respectful. Definitely going back!
The food was absolutely delishes!!!! We had the Penne Al La Vodka, The Chicken Capers, and the Clam Appetizer. They were all so good. The building is beautiful and the booths are nice and high so you feel secluded.
