Lunch menu (3/4/25)
Xavier I.

Tuesday 3/4/25 I made a lunch order for pick up via phone call, and the phone service could've been better, but it is what it is. For my order I got the gyro sandwich $13.95, chicken parmigiana $19.95, lasanga all forno $19.95, and tiramisu $10.95. You also get complimentary house bread with your order. - The lasagna all forno was pretty good and had a rich & cheesy top. - The gyro sandwich was significantly better than I expected. Everything was on point and - The chicken parmigiana was alright: the noodles were well done, but the dish didn't have enough tomato sauce. - I'd been avoiding tiramisu for a while due to my dislike of coffee and I'm happy to say that although pretty expensive, their tiramisu ended up being pretty decent. My experience at Regina's restaurant was good. I would be open to returning and recommending it.

We had lunch at Regina's for the first time yesterday . As soon as we entered, the ambiance is inviting. We were welcomed by waiter Thomas with a smile and led to our table . So accommodating . Lunch menu was shown to us . We had Calamari for appetizers. The best we ever had the freshness and the marinara sauce . Then we got each of our ordered soup . I had the onion soup . Omg.. the soup was amazing and sooo good cheesy onion soup hit the spot . We also had freshly baked bread with butter in the side . We each ordered their Gyro sandwich with side dish of French fries or choice of rice . The size of that Gyro sandwich is huge either way enough meat sauce etc . We were so full we had to take home the rest . Thomas kept checking on us if there is anything else we need . So customer driven . I invite all to come and see for yourselves what we have experienced . You surely will leave fully satisfied .

Regina's was surprisingly good. A definite throwback and while I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, I really liked what we had. We shared zucchini fritters and the chicken souvlaki platter. Fritters were freshly battered. I think they need more seasoning though. I really enjoyed the chicken, which was flavorful. Salad was good and the fries were golden and crisp. Service was friendly. We were the only ones in the place for most of our Saturday lunch, but others were visiting as we were getting ready to leave. If you are nearby, it's not a bad stop.

Hidden Gem in Wheaton. Went with a few friends after an event we attended. Sitting was quick and staff were friendly. I ordered a French Onion Soup and Spanakopita. The was delicious and flavorful. The spanakopita was ok - no flavor.

This place made me had to come back and tried more food very soon after my first time visit. Regina is a Mediterranean and Italian style restaurant. Their food was amazing as well as service and dining room. I was a little surprised because if you look from outside, the restaurant is quite small and old building, but when you get inside, they have a nice decoration, spacious and good vibe. Also, they have a counter drink bar. As for the menu might not be various as same as other authentic Italian restaurants but I think their food has a good quality and intense taste. Another good thing is there are some free parking lots in front of the restaurant, not many but enough for guests. Whoever wants to try some Italian or Mediterranean food and not sure where to start, yet. Or if you are looking for a restaurant where is peaceful and romantic atmosphere, I recommend Regina's Restaurant, you won't be disappointed!

Regina's is doing something right. On a Saturday evening at 7pm, the place was booming. Energy was high and wine glasses were filled at each table. The parking lot in the front was a little chaotic, but there's also additional parking in the back. We were in search of a Bouillabaisse (fisherman's soup aka cioppino) and I found Regina's on Yelp. As other Yelpers have mentioned, Regina's markets itself as a Mediterranean place, which boils down to Greek and Italian dishes when you look at the menu. I made a reservation online with the Google Assistant and Regina's was ready to seat us when we arrived. We weren't sure if the reservation was necessary, but I decided to make one for our group just in case. When we arrived at 6pm, most of the tables were still available, but the place filled up by 7pm. All of the waiters were still following COVID protocols and were wearing face masks. A bottle of hand-sanitizer was also set out for customers. Warm bread and butter were brought to the table and were generously refilled throughout the night. We started with the fried calamari ($12.95) and stuffed mushrooms ($10.95) as appetizers. Maybe it's just the way the dishes were plated, but I did find the portions to be small for the price. When the fried calamari was brought out, it definitely looked like they had slid around on the plate a bit. The calamari was light and crisp but could've been more tender. They also served the rings only (no legs). The stuffed mushrooms came with four pieces and took on a spanakopita profile featuring mainly spinach and feta in the stuffing. The accompanying lemon sauce is great for dipping the bread into. In addition to the regular menu items, they also had a separate dinner specials menu. I ordered off the specials menu and went with the porcini mushroom ravioli ($20.95), which came with five sunflower-shaped raviolis with a porcini and ricotta filling in a brown Marsala sauce. I really liked my dish. The serving size was just the right amount after having the bread and additional appetizers. The raviolis were cooked to the desired al dente and the filling was the perfect creamy consistency - I would order this dish again. My table also ordered the bouillabaisse ($32), eggplant Parmesan ($18.95), chicken Marsala ($20.95), and penne arabiatta ($16.95). Everyone enjoyed their dishes and the bouillabaisse was noticeably plentiful with its seafood variety - mussels, clams, scallops, shrimp, calamari, and fish were all present in the dish. There did seem to be a learning curve with our waiter. We would ask him questions and he would respond with "I have to check" or "Let me ask." He also didn't seem very familiar with the menu when we ordered and needed visual cues, which led to some hiccups with service. But overall, he was kind and attentive throughout the evening. Our water cups were regularly topped-off and he came to check on how things were doing multiple times. We were celebrating a birthday that night and the staff was kind to bring out a sparkler and sing happy birthday with our dessert. They also honored a military discount (10% off) with proof of ID. Thanks to Regina's and their staff for a wonderful dinner.

The bottom line is that the Mediterranean comes into contact with a lot of countries. Regina's tries to cover a lot of bases. It's kinda Italian, kinda French, kinda Greek. Chances are if the family goes here, everyone is going to find SOMETHING on the menu that'll make them happy. Is the food mind-blowing? No. Is it pretty good...better than average? Yes. We did eggplant, stuffed shrimp, and spaghetti Bolognese. The last one was close to excellent. The shrimp had random pieces of shell (more than usual) in the crab filling and the yellow sauce on top was a little odd. The eggplant was tender and over all pretty good. We like this place - the service is good and the staff are pleasant. We'll come back because, as I said earlier, there's always something on the menu that'll make everyone happy.

Clam and Linguini
Brian L.

This nice little restaurant is hidden away in a strip mall. The outside may seem unassuming, but the inside of the restaurant is a very nice and cozy environment. The waiters we had were very nice and were able to make specific modifications to our food, and even allowed us to order items not on the menu. We got the clam linguini and the veggie pasta primavera (not on the menu). The clam linguini was a very nice combination. The clam and garlicy sauce in the linguini paired very well together and meshed to create a cohesive flavor. The veggie pasta primavera was both hearty and light at the same time. The sauce was nutty and had an earthy undertone. I feel like the clam and linguini relied heavily on the clams for the dish, while the veggie pasta primavera was enjoyable with every bite. Really cool spot, give it a try if you're looking for something new in the area.

We discovered Regina's a few weeks after they opened and have dined here at least once a month since. Always start off with their spinach-stuffed mushrooms - fan-tastic! We've tried a number of different items as the main course - all cooked superbly! on this visit I had a personal favorite, the Salmon which comes with spinach & potatoes. My Girlfriend ordered Ribeye from the specials menu. As always, we were blown away! Finished off with a lite dessert of Limoncello cake - a great end to a great meal! Regina's has a nice relaxed atmosphere, the staff is super friendly, helpful & attentive, and did I mention the food is AWEsome! This is one of the best restaurants in the area...highly recommended!

Chicken Parmigiana

We enjoyed our meal at Regina's. Service was great, our food was tasty, and it looked like the restaurant varies their specials. I would definitely return.

We will be back, I just have a lot to say. As a note: they're very good with allergies like gluten. Food was amazing, from the 2 different Kebabs, Manti, Halloumi wraps, Za'atar Pide (flatbread) and a few other plates amongst the four of us--our group split the plates up to avoid cross-contamination and one member of our party couldn't do gluten -- and when it came out everything was amazing and flavorful and delicious. Definitely want to go back and try more. I genuinely feel bad for our server: he got stuck with an incredibly busy section and for the first 45 minutes or so of our meal, as a result of this, service was very slow. It took us a little while to order and then have our drinks come. This was solely due to the crowd. But then our food came out quickly. Our server seemed rather overwhelmed at times. I want to stress that this was solely due to how busy they were and no fault of any of the staff. So, if you go, just be patient. I want to stress that service was great for us. Also a note that all of your hot Mezze will likely come out at the same time after the cold mezze. I have some nitpicks : 1) one of our tables was not level with the other one and kept moving unless we put pressure on the legs or on the top. This probably should've been checked & fixed between patrons. 2) The Garides shrimp mezze was probably the most whelming. The parsley tahini pesto and veggies were nice, but for the price there could've been 4 shrimp at minimum. I didn't get much from the seven spice flavoring. I think I just wanted more from this dish. It's just one that doesn't feel as awesome as the others (especially because a lot of people don't know off hand you can eat the clear shrimp shell and the tail). 3) The mixed spread mezze needs to have at least 2 more pita. 4) The ambiance is lovely but at one point, the background music seemed to have been turned up a smidge volume wise, or the song was just a louder one, which made it a bit hard to hear. This was also right when a lot of our food came.

Tavira is a well-kept secret. While it may seem underrated because it's not hip and new, the two…read moretimes I've visited, this Portuguese restaurant has been busy. It's tucked away into the ground floor of an office building. There is plenty of parking, which is appreciated. They are open for lunch and dinner, which is worth keeping in mind. Service is excellent. Servers are trained to serve properly. Also, I hadn't visited in months, and one of the servers, Horis, remembered me, which is nice. They take care of their customers here. The ambiance isn't quite that of a Massachusetts Portuguese restaurant, but Tavira does embody an old-world feel. Food is also excellent. I've had the garlic shrimp, pasteis de bacalhau, piri-piri chicken, suckling pig special, lamb shank special, and the pistachio and chocolate lover's cakes. Everything has been delicious. The roast suckling pig is the standout and you must order that if they have it on special. I'm looking forward to returning to try the pork shank and cod dishes. Presentation of all dishes is beautiful. The wine list is nice, especially as I love Portuguese wine. If you are dining with companions, I highly recommend a bottle. They do not have a cocktail list but do have a full bar. On Friday nights, there is live music, which is appreciated. While this restaurant might be as close as I can get to the city of Tavira for the time being, I'll take it. The amazing food and service ensures Tavira will be on my regular rotation, and it should be added to yours as well.

It wasn't the easiest to locate, but once we figured it out, there was plenty of free parking available. Just a heads-up that you do have to enter through the underground garage. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty empty aside from a few older guests, so initially I felt a little out of place and wasn't quite sure what to expect. However, the customer service definitely made a great impression. Everyone was friendly and professional, and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and did a great job explaining the different dishes. As for the food, everything we tried was genuinely tasty. My biggest issue was really the portions, particularly the sides. My snapper came with what felt like less than a handful of Brussels sprouts, while the fish itself had so many tomatoes on top that I swear I had more tomatoes than I did sides. The snapper still tasted good, but the proportions of everything on the plate just didn't make much sense to me. The lamb was flavorful and had a really nice grilled taste, and the mushroom ravioli was also delicious. Again, though, the portion left me wanting just a little more. It came with three ravioli, and I feel like even four would have made the serving feel a bit more complete. Overall, the food was good, the service was excellent, and we enjoyed our date night. I just wish the portions matched the quality of the food a little better, especially when it came to the sides. Nothing was necessarily bad--I just left feeling like a few small adjustments to the portions could make the overall dining experience much more satisfying.
