Food was kind of plain, service WAS good until we had an issue, ambiance was the best part.

The service was great and they were on top of their game. The ambiance was just simple so it was ok. Now the food was less than par. I got the veggie lasagna that had artichokes and was unchewable. The pizza had no flavor and the Caesar salad needed ranch dressing to make it tolerable. Food was overpriced but they did give us a good amount that allowed leftovers. Not sure if we will eat them but I do have it. I would not drive out of my way to go there but if I'm hungry and in the area... why not. It beats going the fast food route of the things in that area. The service is what pulled this restaurant a 4 out of 5 stars. Otherwise they would probably have a 3 just for food. read more

I recently tried Razzo's Pizza and ordered a two-topping brick oven pizza along with two sides of spinach to go. The spinach was good, but their bread made it for me. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the brick oven pizza. I've had many brick oven pizzas before, but this one was very disappointing. The crust was extremely thin, dry and lacked flavor, leaving the pizza overall bland and forgettable. And the total cost ended up at $51. I think it was steep for what we got. That said, Razzo's does have a signature dish that will keep my interest in returning. Their white lasagna is absolutely worth trying and is, in my opinion, one of the best dishes on the menu. That's why I gave 3 stars. read more

What a beautiful hidden gem in Norfolk. The Italian food was amazing! I had the meat lasagna and the beet salad, both were great! And the service matched the food! Both were top notch! So happy I came here! My wife had a great meal as well! The tuna with asparagus was wonderful! We both had an overall great time and will be back soon!! read more

Honestly, I would give this restaurant a ZERO if I could. Start out, I asked the waitress how the Alfredo was, and she said "out of this world". Well..., she was right. It was unlike ANY alfredo I've ever tasted on this planet. Sour, lemon-like, unbuttery, unsalty - AWFUL. I sent it back and the waitress looked at me like I had 4 heads. I've eaten the dish for decades and in dozens of restaurants, but this was BY FAR the worst EVER. She asked what she could do and I said just bring a spaghetti and meatball - thinking quick, easy, unruin-able, and cheap. NOPE. The sauce was like "spangly ragu". Sour, over spiced, and not good. The meatballs, though big and home made, were CHEWY and onion-y. My wife's picatta was ok, but chewy and certainly not worth the price. She didn't want the pasta and for $28 couldn't even sub it out for some veggies or something! My spaghetti and meatball price?? $28 as well. TWENTY EIGHT for a C+ pasta dish. Now, all this is bad, but no manager to apologize? No offer for discount? No nothing. $71 for a sub-standard dinner in a cold firehouse. We are on our 30th anniversary vacation and this has been the worst restaurant, worst food, worst price. AWFUL. Go ANYWHERE else. read more

Razzo is serving classic Italian-American fare in an amazing space that used to be a firehouse! I went with a group and the service staff was friendly and accommodating. Their Aperol spritz was very good! I wasn't super hungry, so I opted for their Caesar salad and it was great, but I do which it was dressed a little more heavily. Other entrees at the table looked amazing! I can't wait to go back and try more pastas and some of their larger plates! read more

Omg! What a great little hidden gem in Norfolk! We went for a date night and it did not disappoint. The building is so cool, it's a historic fire station. The vibe is casual, inviting, and warm. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and so so kind. Our waitress Carla was very sweet and she helped us pick some great dishes! We also bonded over our love of dogs! My boyfriend started out with an italian beer called Peroni. He liked it! I got a diet coke :) For an app we split a pizza not knowing we also get bread as a starter (carboload!!!) The bread was warm and yummy the pizza was DELISH! For our main entrees we got the penne ricotta with sausage, fire roasts tomatoes and basil and the chicken parmesan. Both were amazing as we did a little sharing :) We were too stuffed for desert but we will surely be back!! read more

I've been back to Razzo's multiple times since my prior review. I love that the food and service has been consistently great each time. A friendly greeting when you arrive, prompt seating, and servers who are kind and attentive. The food portions are quite large. I'm in love with Chicken Marsala and that tends to be my "go to"order. It is large with 2 tender chicken breast smothered in Marsala sauce along with a side bowl of pasta. I can always take half of it home. On this last visit, I brought my Dad who was craving spaghetti and meatballs. The serving was very large and he was looking forward to having some the next day at home. He enjoyed the flavor of the spaghetti along with a glass of Zinfandel which made for a lovely dinner. We sat in a booth which allows you to feel cozy from the surrounding area of the restaurant. I still wish that Razzo's gave some history of the old firehouse building (possibly on the menu). A write up with images would be so nice. I was telling my Dad about the old firehouse and it is certainly would be nice to have something at the table as a nod to the old history of the building. read more

Was finally able to come to their new location, the last time I had been to Razzo was back in when they were in OV. It was a group of 5 of us and we all ordered different dishes to share family style as that is how we roll lol. We got the Roasted Beet salad, Fried Mozzarella, Fried Calamari, Pepperoni pizza, Meat Lasagna, Penne a la Vodka w/Shrimp, Pappardelle w/Sausage & Peas, New York Strip. Everything was so good! Service was awesome. We ended up closing the place down. read more

This place is amazing, incredible food, friendly staff and an off beat location, an old Firehouse. Definitely worth a try!

It's been a year time for another review!! This establishment has got customer service down pat!!! They know how to accommodate a group. Again I was there with a group this time a little smaller I believe there was 7 of us. Let's start with the fresh bread!! Who can't resist a nice fresh warm piece of bread? Not this girl that's for sure three pieces later! Moving on I stay with what I know and love fettuccine Alfredo with pappardelle pasta added chicken to the dish. So good, lots of garlic! The serving size was healthy. Made for a great lunch the next day!! Thank you Razzo for maintaining your consistency!! Food is yummy and I promise I won't wait a year to come back!! Highly recommend you give Razzo a try!! read more

I've only visited Razzo once, nearly two years ago, but my experience with them was a positive one. My mom and I visited the Little Creek location on a Saturday evening, 3/6/21. Razzo's current location (they moved from OV & used to occupy the building which is now operated by Karla's Beach House) used to be a Norfolk Fire Station (NFD moved into a new building across the street). I like what Razzo did with the interior - it has a rustic look and feel... and it felt comfy. We didn't make reservations, but we were seated quickly (we lucked out). Razzo was still in social distancing mode, so our table was right up against the bar. Initial table greet was fairly quick and our server was attentive, friendly and informative. We shared an order of calamari for an appetizer, which was cooked perfectly and had the right amount of crunch on the outside without it being rubbery inside. For our entrees, mom had the Veal Francese (lemon, capers, white wine & cracked pepper with pasta), which she enjoyed. I went a different route - I had a New York strip with a side of marinara penne. My strip was cooked to a perfect mid-rare - delicious and filling. Having both steak & pasta, I couldn't finish it all - but that meant leftovers! I had a great time at Razzo and look forward to dining here again. Thank you, Razzo! JV read more

Love this place! Razzo serves up fresh classic Italian American favorites in an old repurposed firehouse. This place is super comforting, from the big bowls of pasta to the spectacular and personable staff. Found Razzo on accident one day after getting a flat tire needing a place to wait for a repair. I can tell you that my day was turned completely around and I left full and happy. They gained a customer for life that day! I can't stress enough how great the food is and how well you'll be treated by the amazing staff here. Pro tip: there is an unlisted kids menu. They can do kids sized portions of pasta with butter, marinara, or Alfredo sauce. read more

My husband brought me to Razzo for my first experience two weeks ago for a date night. This wonderful restaurant is housed in a former fire station and we loved it. After taking our drink order, they brought out a small loaf of fresh in house made bread with butter which was so very tasty. I would visit this restaurant just for the bread. We ordered an appetizer called Roasted Garlic ($15) which had two large cloves of roasted garlic, several different peppers, olives, peppers, sun dried tomatoes and warm goat cheese. Wow, this was an amazing and flavorful treat for our tastebuds. I highly recommend ordering this even if you don't order anything else...it's that delicioso! For our entrees, we ordered the Grilled Tuna with Asparagus ($28) and we ordered the Meat Lasagna ($23). We made a slight mistake and ordered the tuna medium....less cooked would have been awesome. It was still tasty but had we ordered it differently, we would have really loved it. The Meat Lasagna is a huge portion covered in marinara sauce. This is really large enough to share or to have leftovers for another meal. I loved the first several bites but I have to say that I feel like the sauce overpowered the taste of the meats and cheeses. The sauce is really tasty, but next time, I will order the sauce on the side. I love Lasagna and this was a really good one. We ordered a glass of Chianti ($8), a red Zinfandel ($9) and a beer called El Guapo ($6). The wines were really good, the beer was ok and I'm glad I tried it and I don't need to again. It's fun to try new beers and how could I pass up one called El Guapo! Our total bill fir all of this was barely over $100. I loved this restaurant and highly recommend if you are visiting Norfolk or working on the Naval Base as it's nearby. Our server was Sara and she was friendly and welcoming. She was as attentive as we wanted and needed. read more

While I previously posted 4 stars for the interesting remodeled fire station atmosphere and friendly service, after visiting this location 5 times, the positive qualities don't outweigh the subpar food quality - especially for the prices. I do not recommend the pizza, it is consistently low-mid quality. I don't have pictures of other items, but the roasted garlic appetizer is a joke for what they give you. They included about three olives chopped up into little pieces with about a spoon worth of cheese, along with a couple little pickled items. (compare to what a competitor Fellinis has as their equivalent bruschetta appetizer). I've been here with friends, my mother, and two dates, each time I was embarrassed that I recommended the place as they received their entrees. My last date ordered the vegetable lasagna and couldn't get past a couple bites. A heap of asparagus smothered in a flood of tomato sauce. The bread that they sometimes provide is okay, although I didn't get it the last time I was there. The best part is probably the waitstaff. They are always friendly. May be a good place to come out for a drink - although the well cocktails are also very overpriced. Sorry but unless they make some major improvements to the quality and quantity of their food options, I think I'm done with this place and will stop recommending it. read more

We used to like this place but the last few times the food tasted bland, less food on the plate, bread was not fresh, and prices much higher. Not planning to return to $95.00 dinner for two without appetizers, desserts, or alcoholic beverages. Ridiculous! read more

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! read more

Definitely a fun little place to go and have a nice dinner. I have yet to try the pizza, but I've heard great things about it. I have been here multiple times now and my favorite dish is the parpadelle with sausage and peas. :) Last night I asked them to add tomatoes and it was even better. The flavor was slightly less strong than the last time I had this dish. But I added some lemon juice from my lemon and made it way more delicious. The server was quick to help and straight to the point. I appreciated that. The wine was good. They have a decently extensive list. I love the relaxing and quiet ambiance. It wasn't busy and we got right in and sat down. I do not think they accept reservations. read more

Great food, service and great atmosphere. We were there for a business trip & highly recommend.

AMAZING FOOD!! I came here with my boyfriend tonight for dinner. He got fettuccine alfredo with chicken and I got fettuccine alfredo without protein. We both agreed it was the best alfredo we've ever tasted. He also said the chicken in the dish was delicious. We were also welcomed with warm bread which was fresh baked and absolutely delicious. The fettuccine alfredo has such an amazing flavor and it is super garlicky which I love. I dipped the bread in the alfredo sauce and it was amazing!! Service was good and our waters were always full. It was $57 for two bowls of alfredo, one with protein one without. $57 is pretty pricey for 2 bowls of pasta but the quality makes it well worth it. Best pasta place around we will be returning! read more

My wife made a last minute decision to go out and we went to Razzo's. We were pleasantly surprised.

Great service, casual upscale place- it's going in the rotation. read more

Great service and good as always. I got the Meat Lasagna again, so good and just not ground beef. Wife got the Grilled Chicken Alfredo with a side of steamed spinach and garlic.

AMAZING FOOD! 10/10 would recommend! Great ambiance, server was amazing, and the bread is to die for

We were there during their first week. Unfortunately we were there due to a death in the family. As a family we were from Ohio, North Carolina, and California, but X-New Yorkers all. The food was excellent! The menu extensive and we had everything from Chicken Marsala, Chicken with lemon sauce, Pizza to deserts! Incredible! Like eating in the best neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Staten Island. Matt was awesome. The staff caring and completely up to the task. Our waitress Teresa (I love you) was knowledgeable to the max.

I found this place on Yelp, and there were a few lower ratings... it it looked like they were from another Resturaunt (same chain) at different location. This is an old firehouse across the street from the current Norfolk Fire Station 12. They even still have the old pole up for all to see in the middle of the restaurant. Atmosphere 10/10 Service 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Food. Came out with 3 slices of homemade bread... amazing. I really wanted more... but I WAY blew my carb count for the day.

I really love this place, especially since it's within walking distance from my house. I would give it 5 stars, but I just really don't care for their pizza. I'll try it one more time - maybe they were having an off night. The fennel app is hands down my favorite thing on the menu. The shrimp app is also delicious. I'd be happy coming in for just those two items and some wine for a light dinner. I love their bolognase, and it really makes their lasagna stand out. Portions are huge, and I always have leftovers for lunch the next day. read more

YUMMO!!!! Soooo good! We were a party of seven and everyone really enjoyed their dinner. Its hard to please everyone but Razzo managed to do just that. It's an interesting place and more casual than I anticipated. The service was excellent! The food was excellent! The portions are huge!! If you're a person who likes big portions this place is for you. At first I was put off by the prices. I think Fettuccine Alfredo with no meat in it should be under $20.00 not over. It's only a little fettuccine with some butter, cream and parmesan. The ingredients are not expensive. But, after eating delicious Chicken Francese and having enough to bring home for a second meal I no longer think it's over priced. We will definitely go back. read more

Razzo is an odd place and it is difficult to rate it. Is the food good? Yes, the food is great. Is the service good? Service is always friendly and timely. Is the restaurant nice? It's wonderful in an old fire house. So, what's the problem? First, the parking is completely inadequate. And, this is not an area with abundant neighborhood parking. Second, they don't take reservations so if you plan to go at dinner time and they are busy (and you find a parking spot) you are probably in for a long wait, especially if you have a party of more than 4 people. Last, they don't do third party delivery. So, to get their food you really need to plan in advance. Lots of people arrive at 5 pm to make sure they can park and get a table. read more

I have always been a fan of Razzo but stopped going to the location in Ocean View due to the inconsistent quality of the food. I was excited for them to open in their new spot aland wanted to support them during quarantine by ordering takeout. I ordered stuffed eggplant and portions were ridiculously small and three entrees that didn't even fill up a standard dinner plate cost about $60. I was so disappointed, I may go elsewhere for Italian from now on. read more

We like Razzo very much! We've been twice now, and the food has been excellent. Pasta dishes have been decadent, and the roast garlic appetizer has become a favorite! Drinks have also been quite good. Service has been rushed at times but friendly and attentive. Love the location in the historic fire house. Prices are a little high, relative to some other upper tier restaurants in the area. But the quality is worth it, and not having to go downtown is a bonus. Strongly recommended. read more
