The first thing you need to know is Fellini's is as it has always been, a constant in a changing Norfolk. That's its charm. It's been a couple of years since my wife and I lasted visited. Warm, cozy, atmosphere with a nice intimate table for two. The familiar bar in the center, booths, and large tables for "family style" celebrations. Service was quick and friendly as always. She had the Creole Romano Pasta - angel hair pasta with embedded shrimp and Andouille sausage in a two-cheese cream sauce, baked. Then served in a big block like Lasanya. I had the Pasta Corleone - linguini pasta with Andouille sausage, green onions, garlic, black olives, and sun-dried tomatoes in a gorgeous cream sauce. Two toasted bread points also came with the entrées. We both used our bread to sop up the delightful sauces. Both dishes were very rich and satisfying. Italian comfort food at its best. The Andouille sausage in both dishes were literally medallion sized. Both dishes came with a very fresh side salad with your choice if dressing. Both portions were very generous, served in big deep bowls. We had to have to-go boxes. As usual, Fellini's did not disappoint. read more

Bacon cheeseburger pizza rocked! Try it out, it's one of our favorites, though hubby Has tried the puttanesca and recommends it. I don't eat olives, and I love the pizza so why order something else, especially when we are only going through a few times a year. Everything is good, but the pizza is amazing. Scallops and the oysters recommended for apps, but the pizza, again, is what it's all about. read more

This place seemed to cater to an older crowd. Be sure to come here if you want a calm night at a place that isn't crowded. I ordered the vegetarian lasagna and it was okay. The service is good and the decor will take you back to the early 80's. read more

Food is always good. They have the best Greek Salad in Tidewater. Great casual atmosphere. Nice place to gather with friends.

while usually very good, it is always overpriced to the point I can only order once every few months. even with pick up. I ordered chicken marsala last night. The chicken was awful. It tasted like rubber and was inedible. It looks like they used the meat from the thigh bone instead of the chicken breast. Not acceptable with an expensive dish like this. They should've used a chicken breast and pounded it thin. Marsala sauce had very little flavor. No one in my house would eat it. Big disappointment for how much money is spent at that restaurant. read more

Yum! Always consistently delicious. The salads are so fresh and full. Pizza, pasta. It's all good.

Very good waitress, if not a little too eager. Mussels were delicious, but my advice is to get the appetizer portion which had just as many mussels as the dinner portion. The dinner portion looked very large until I realized that most of the bowl was spaghetti - and not the thin kind - as well as pretty cold. People at our table seemed to enjoy the pizza which was the best value. read more

I love the focaccia especially with olive oil! A nice thin crips bread sometimes that's all I need -Not! The pizza is also great with the freshest ingredients used. The pizza is made in a wood oven stove it's even better. The place has a dark wood ambiance. Great for large groups as my job sometimes have our events here. During lunch time it can get very packed & service can be slow though. The portions are huge ( the pastas and salad) that my hubby and I can just share a meal. read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is fresh and delicious every time eat here a lot. The staff is great and friendly. I tried it as takeout yesterday for the first time and it's amazing and so much food. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

We got an excellent pizza here today. The crust was perfectly thin, crispy, with just the right amount of char. The sauce was excellent, as were the toppings. The chunks of spicy Italian sausage were particularly a highlight. Felini's offers a wide variety of gourmet, both traditional and non-traditional pizza toppings. Think California Pizza Kitchen's pizza style, but actually executed wonderfully. They have a most reasonable wine list as well. We ordered a good CA Merlot and and an Italian Montepulciano, both retail in the $12 range, and were only $23 and $21 respectively here. Very acceptable markup. This place has been here for more than 25 years, it was hipster chic before that was a thing. I remember it opening here when I was an ODU student in the old Bens Chili Parlor space. They had a couple of Ghent locations prior to that. I don't know why I hadn't been here in 20 years, but we will be back again soon. Half price wine bottles on Monday happy hour is certainly a draw. Also saw they have live jazz once a month, which we will have to check out. I imagine it's a great atmosphere in this Park Place space. My only criticism is the lack of appetizer choices. The only option that wasn't bread-based was the calimari, and they were out of that. I certainly don't want to order additional bread when getting pizza, but would have really liked an appetizer. Their menu also features a variety of pastas and sandwiches. My Dad ordered the lasagna, and it was excellent. This visit to Fellini's was a good reminder that although Norfolk has a great restaurant scene these days; to not forget about the great older spots we have in the city! read more

We went here last night with the kids and one of their friends. My husband ordered the tasty pizza w/ mushroom and pepperoni. I ordered the Greek salad w/ fried oysters, it was delicious. For dessert, my we shared the Turtle cheesecake, not too sweet just perfect! We had a good time at your restaurant. I'd recommend to anyone! read more

We went Saturday night and had a wonderful experience I was with someone who had never been and he loved it as well. I had been one time and it was great then and great now . We had the pleasure of Annie waiting on us. She was so sweet and answered all my questions without hesitation I would recommend that you try it Its great Pictures are below and food is reasonable price Support local small business Plus a woman owned business! read more

The food here is to die for! The dishes are a bit big but honestly it is worth it! Favorite salad: the grilled lettuce with shrimp and white salad dressing, amazing flavor! Favorite pasta: carbonara! It is a bit creamy for my taste but it really has all the flavors there! read more

Fellini's! Our all time favorite go-to restaurant! Great food, great service, and a history of family ownership that cares about its customers! Our favorite server, Ashley smiles infectiously. She remembers our persnickety order at every visit, and makes you feel like one of her own. Their Greek Salad, and homemade deserts made by Rob are simply amazing. Well worth every visit. read more

I've had lunch a bunch of times. Centrally located and lit just low enough that it's cozy. Right off Colley Ave sort of near ODU. Gets a lot of base traffic. I really like the pizza here. They're cooking with real heat and you can tell when you pizza comes out. Topping are fresh an plentiful. small pizza and Tea 17 bucks. Great for groups and large parties. You can get in and out of here really fast if you need to. Service is fine...it's a pizza joint. We'll be back soon. Thanks guys! read more

Yummy!! The Greek salad is incredible and the pizza is perfect. Simple is best as the crust is thin and flimsy. Visited fellinis for 20 yrs, always perfect! read more

Fantastic food and atmosphere in Norfolk! I've been coming here for years and it's great every time. My kids love it here, too.

I get the broccoli and pepper past with marinara sauce instead of alfredo. It's a good portion size (enough for two meals). Also hot and tastes great. The have good drinks too and the bartenders are very nice and cheerful. read more

Very disappointed! Ordered the New York style pizza because the waitress said it was one of their best items. The pizza was not appetizing. The center of the dough was undercooked and the outside was pure charcoal. Will not be returning and would not recommend to anyone I care about. read more

Not Family Friendly - adult nudity in bathrooms. Fellini's here in Norfolk has nearly every element of a family-owned historical Italian restaurant and would be a semi-frequent place to eat with my kids except for the fact that the walls of both restrooms are lined with nude photos and nude art. There isn't even a family bathroom to provide an option for families not wanting their young children exposed to unsolicited nudity. In 1963, this was acceptable... along with a thick haze of cigarette/cigar smoke, but in 2023 we have enough knowledge to know that early exposure to sexually explicit material warps a child's mental health. No staff member warned me at all after coming to my table, seeing that I had a 6-year-old child. My 8-year-old son should not have been exposed to multiple nude "t*ts" and a*s when he went pee. My 12-year-old daughter did not need to be exposed to partial penises in the ladies room. Wake up Owners! This outdated machismo and Euro-sexuality should be for bars, not an establishment for families. I will NOT be back. read more

What a great place to try! We decided to try some pasta and relax a bit. The food was great, a little different than what I'm used to in the West Coast, but I'd urge you to give it a try. The environment was cozy, the service was great and the food, although pricey, was great. You can split a meal or have plenty to take home. read more

This place was amazing back in the day! But now the food is disgraceful and the prices will make you laugh! The service is terrible! Don't go! read more

As always a great place to eat. Good wine and beer prices and the blue cheese burger was delicious. I also love the caesar salad, best one in Norfolk that I've had. read more

Good service, quality food. Be sure to try one of their pizzas, or get their Pasta Romano, with shrimp and chorizo. A rotating selection of desserts wrap up your dining experience. Be warned: the busier the dining area, the slower the service, but that's not your server's fault! read more

Fellinis is one of my old favorites, going back to the early nineties. It's a solid performer for Italian cuisine and pizza in a generally Italian and modern style. Their ZITTI FELLINI is one of my favorite foods. It's a rich cream sauce with mushrooms and chicken. The service is generally very good and the atmosphere is comfortable and attractive. read more

It has been a while... and it will probably be a while... I had dinner here with a friend recently and can't say that I was to impressed. We sat at the bar, which was probably our own mistake. The dude who was the bartender that evening had a rotten attitude. I don't know if he had a bad day or is just a miserable soul in general but the guy was an ass. We started off with some garlic cheese bread and my buddy ordered a salad. For my entree I ordered the pizza special that evening which was a Mexican pizza. My friend ordered Creole Ramano. My app was fine and I didn't hear any complaints about the salad, our entree's weren't so hot. My Mexican pizza was so thin and over cooked that it essentially crumbled as i was trying to eat it. The Creole Ramano came out frozen in the middle and was sent back. Instead of putting it in the oven and letting it sit for a while they microwaved it and instead of being frozen in the middle it was just cold and mushy. It went back a 2nd time and was ultimately discarded. All in all, a mundane experience. I expected better from Fellini's and hope it's improved the next time I'm there. read more

The best part of my recent move has to be that Fellini's is just a few blocks away. After a long string of disappointments in Norfolk for their restaurant selection, I have to admit I had low expectations walking in here. I was in all respects blown away. Atmosphere- inviting, laid back Service- quick, friendly, the highlight of my visit Entree- Gourmet Spinach Pizza was crisp, inventive, and oh so tasty Drink- never ending glass of fresh brewed sweet tea Dessert- Locally made Snickers cheesecake, oh yeah that just happened read more

This place was so rustic and old school which every now and then i need, it reminds me of my childhood. The food was excellent we got bacon wrapped scallops with dill sauce which is hard to get these days. And we shared a pizza which was great but not heavy the pizza seemed more like an appetizer. I will come again. read more

Fellini's - Every now and again you need to go to an old school place to feel at home, its very comforting here. - Pizza Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Monday is $10 pizza day. Love the thin authentic crust under both the Bourbon and Fellini specials

I've been visiting Felinis as a regular for over 20 years. The food is consistently good and their Greek salads are absolutely amazing. The decor is dinky lit and perfect for a date night. Get there early so your lucky enough to grab our of their booths. Their bacon wrapped scallops are a great starter and you can't go wrong with any of their meal options. Check out their happy hour options but be aware you cannot get happy hour unless you sit at the bar.... bummer! read more

The Greek salad was so good. The portions were huge and so good, the spices and sauces were amazing. The service was top tier. Will be back

Yummy food. The salads are ridiculously big, but delicious. I usually get the angel hair with marinara, but recently tried the chicken parmigiana. The chicken was huge, but was missing something. The fettuccine is very good as well. The service is not the best, but the food makes up for it. For dessert - the Kahlua mousse pie is rich and amazing. read more

Service made it feel like they didn't want you there and the pasta dishes just seemed like okay Italian cafeteria food.

Um gross. Came here late night while visiting Norfolk. The front end was nice and casual, not very crowded at both the bar or in the dinning area. Server was nice. We ordered the fried calamari, small Greek Pizza and Grilled Tuna with broccoli and fries. Went to the bathroom... Decorated walls with naked women. Saw an old photo of Madonna topless in black and white with a pussy cat from her early days. Very creative. Glanced at the kitchen. It reminded me of my high school cafeteria kitchen with the staff dressed in baggy pants, sloppy shirts and sweating heavily. Didn't look professional. The biggest let down was the food. The fried calamari appetizer was tasteless and didn't have any crunch (boiled texture). For the main, I ate about 20% of what was on my plate. The tuna was slathered in this disgusting glossy brown sauce that had a sweet tangy after taste. It overpowered the tuna. The broccoli was overcooked, mushy and tasteless. Thankfully I was not too hungry. My server was really nice. I think she sensed that I didn't like the food and did not charge for drinks. For the price of the food, I was expecting better quality. I would sum up this place as low-grade cafeteria style food at higher end restaurant prices. Won't return for the food, maybe for drinks only. read more

Fellini's - Diner style cafeteria cuisine. - Pizza Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Went on a Sunday night to just have some Italian food. For one, we waited about 30 minutes to just get water and get our order taken. Then waited over an hour for our food just to finish it in 10 minutes. A small pepperoni pizza was 15 dollars!! Overpriced and not worth the wait. read more

Torn over this review because the Food and service were amazing! When I went into the bathroom there were naked pictures of women on every wall. Subject matter experts like Dr. Dan Allender say that this is a form of sexual abuse; namely, unsolicited exposure to nudity. If I had my children with me I would not be able to undo what they would have seen. There were no disclosures on the door so it was somewhat of a "sucker-punch" to be exposed. Am I being hypersenstive? Or is my background in counseling and root causes of sexual abuse influecing my disgust for the degrading of women and the desensitizing of minds. Women were never created to be objectified for sad and lonely men. The men's bathroom apparently has pictures of naked men. Thankful my 5 & 6 year old daughters had not been exposed to it. read more

First Fellini's Yelp review, but certainly not my first Fellini's rodeo. Down in Norfolk with 14 yo son for visit with friend and to show him dad's old Navy haunts (from up North in Mass). Dinner was going to be Fellini's from the git-go. He loves Italian. Calamari to start. Very tasty. He's not a sauce guy - loved it straight up with a splash of lemon. Chicken Parm for him. 4 stars. Lots of pasta with it; he couldn't finish it all. I had the Meat Lasagna. Picture included. Fan favorite for all those who love no-sh@t meaty lasagna. They don't skimp. Just plain excellent. Menu is great overall. There are lots of really good dinner options in the Norfolk area but you can't lose with Fellini's. read more

Very disappointing food. Went in on my lunch break to get food Togo. The bartender was nice. But the food was beyond me, esp since the reviews are so high. I ordered the spinach pasta. I'm not even a picky eater/foodie and I had to throw it away after a few bites. It tasted like plain pasta noodles with just spinach thrown on top of it. Whole garlic cloves were mixed in but I didnt taste any garlic, or anything for that matter besides plain noodles and spinach. I'm not sure what I expected but it wasnt this. $12 wasted. Maybe pastas aren't their strong suit. I'm not sure but I'm beyond shocked someone would even send this food out of the kitchen. read more

Fellini's - Pizza Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

My daughter loves this place so we have been numerous times. I think it is just okay. I don't mind going here, but I would not choose to do so on my own. Pizza's are tasty, burgers are decent, most of the other dishes are mediocre. It is the equivalent of a family run Applebee's. The restaurant is dark and a bit dated, which puts me off. Restaurant has a lot of seats and parking, so it is easy to get in and get a meal. 3 stars is right; not great, but not bad either, just okay. read more
