    Circa 1918 - The "Original" Bison Meatloaf

    Circa 1918 lives up to the hype. It's a tiny, charming joint nestled in the row of boutiques and…read morerestaurants in Historic Hilton Village. This has been high on my "want to try" for a long time and finally saw an opportunity with an available reservation, went for it and am so happy I did. I dined solo, which I rarely do, but this was the perfect place for it. It was apparent that most people dining were regulars. The owner was chatting with just about everyone and diners were popping over to other tables to say hello, as well. Felt like a very small town. Service was perfect - not overbearing, but perfectly timed for a good flow throughout dinner. Their menu changes often, so some of the items I loved, may not be available - but it does seem like their fried oysters are a mainstay and holy moly, they were delicious. I had one cocktail - I believe it was called Watermelon Sugar. It had vodka, aperol and fresh watermelon. Refreshing and smooth. I tried two apps: the fried oysters and the bao buns. Both were fantastic. Perfectly prepared, so much flavor. I think that next time, I would stick to the appetizer section and try many rather than getting an entree. I got the scallops, which were delicious, but the apps wow-ed me more. Prices aren't low, but you get what you pay for - really high quality dishes with lots of thought and execution embedded. I don't say this lightly - this has been added to my top 10 list in all of Hampton Roads!

It's a small, quaint space that gives you that perfect blend of cozy neighborhood vibes with an upscale, refined feel. The food was absolutely outstanding--every dish had unique, well-balanced flavors that clearly showcased the talent of the chef. You can truly tell that a lot of care and creativity goes into the menu. The service made the experience even better. The bartenders were fantastic (James especially stood out!), and the waitstaff were incredibly personable, attentive, and welcoming. Circa 1918 is one of those rare places that feels both like a hidden neighborhood gem and a fine dining experience all in one. We will definitely be back!

    After being ignored at our chosen spot in Smithfield we headed back for some sure to win us…read moreBojangles when I remembered there used to be a BBQ place at the nearby shopping center. My Yelp search told me the BBQ was gone but in its place was this darling Italian eaterie. I had no expectations as I was just going by the photos-and they had me hooked, line and sinker! Hubby asked me what was I ordering & I replied "one of everything!!" I was pretty sure I knew the answer but I asked our server if the lasagna was homemade & since it was that's what I chose. It was so very fresh tasting, reminding me of the stuffed raviolis we would get in Palau, Sardinia. The multiple lasagna layers were so plentiful that the portion size was enough for me to have leftovers-twice! My husband is a man of few words but the ten that he had to share regarding his Gnocchi Bolognese were all quite complimentary. Honestly, this place is so far from our house but the food so good that we immediately made a promise to ourselves to be back in a month. I mentioned to our server Caitlin to let the chef know how much we loved our lunch that he immediately came out & introduced himself. It was our pleasure meeting Max and hearing and feeling the love and warmth he has for his home country that we were transported back to our time in Italy. Napoli è is an hour from our home but we are already making plans to go back. And Max even gave us his business card for us to call when we're on our way for reservations. You can not get this type of hospitality at a chain restaurant or even that little Cafe that we tried to dine at in Smithfield. If you don't dine here you are doing your taste buds a huge disservice and really, isn't life already full of disappointments. Why put your belly through that?

    This was my first and only visit. Three co-workers and I were meeting for our monthly outing. Two…read moreof us arrived a little early and walked in. There is a "wait to be seated sign" as soon as you enter. No one approached us but the owner/chef asked from a nearby table how he could help us. I thought that was a little odd since we were standing in front of the "wait to be seating sign" Okay not a big deal. We responded that it would be 4 of us so he instructed one of the servers to direct us to a table. We sat looked over the menu and ordered drinks while we waited for the rest of our party. Three of us ordered because the 4th was running late. I ordered the chicken cheese steak, one co-worker ordered the cheese steak and the 4rd ordered I believe it was the penne vodka. The 4 person came and ordered a small pizza. When 3 of the meals came out, the Penne Vodka looked different then what I've seen before and yes before you ask I have seen authentic Italian Penne Vodka when I visited Italy a couple of years ago and I don't recall in either of the cities that I visited did the Penne Vodka look like the dish that my co worker received. It just didn't look appealing. When the server returned my co worker said that she didn't want the dish and that it could be taken away. The server asked if she wanted something else and my co worker's response was I'm not sure right now. In less than a minute the owner/chef rushes to the table and starts asking why didn't she want it and she explained that it just wasn't what she expected but that she was still willing to pay for it. That didn't suffice for him he continued with the questions, "have you ever had the dish before" blah. It became quite annoying. Honestly at that point who would want someone to prepare anything else with all of the animosity. I am giving 3 stars because my chicken cheesesteak was ok nothing fabulous and the 4th co worker's pizza was good and the sever was good. The steak and cheese was not eaten by my co worker either but she didn't bother to send it back because we didn't want a repeat of the pasta. Her comment was the meat didn't have a very good flavor. I also thought that it was a little pricey because refills are not free, no sides with the sandwiches, a side of fries $5 the portion didn't reflect the price. To each its own.

    Located near Ghent and downtown Norfolk, this restaurant was a really pleasant find. The parking…read morelot is small, but we had no trouble finding street parking nearby. It was a little chilly tonight, but I imagine the outdoor seating would be perfect on a warmer evening. We didn't have a reservation, but luckily we were seated within seconds. The space itself is on the smaller side, but it's thoughtfully designed and perfect for a cozy date night. Every employee who passed by greeted us, which made the atmosphere feel especially welcoming. We started with the octopus, served with potato foam, pickled pear, and chorizo. For entrées, he ordered the duck and I had the pork bolognese. Both dishes were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. We also ordered drinks. I do wish they had come out a bit earlier so we could enjoy them sooner, but the selection was impressive. We chose the bartender's choice, which was a really fun experience. The waitress asks a few questions, and based on your answers the bartender creates a drink they think you'll love. We were too full for dessert, though they did offer four different options. Overall, we were really happy we tried this restaurant and will definitely be back.

The octopus was probably my favorite--really tender and full of flavor. I had the salmon for my main and it was cooked perfectly and everything on the plate worked well together. Service was great without being over the top. Overall just a really solid dinner spot in Norfolk, would definitely go back
