Amalfi Ristorante - (757) 625-1262

It's my sad duty to inform you that this restaurant is now closed and up for lease. A moment of silence for a great place...

My family and I really appreciate great Italian food, and Almafi’s delivers. When we have guests from out of town and want to take them somewhere nice, Almafi’s has been our first choice. However, their service and preparation time has always been a little slow. Until this weekend I thought the food was worth it. Saturday night we had lots of family from out of town for my daughters sweet sixteen and we made a reservation several weeks in advance at Almafi’s. We arrived at 7pm and had ordered by 7:20. At 9pm our waitress told us that the food would be at least another 15 minutes. I attempted to address the 2 hour wait with the owner, but she was unapologetic, provided no reason for the long wait, and attempted to blame the waitress. The owner never visited any of the tables and seemed more interested in smoking and talking to a friend at the bar. We left after a two hour wait still hungry. She singlehandedly ruined my daughters once in a lifetime occasion.

i grew up with immigrant Italian grandparents who lived with us.............our whole neighborhood in Ny was mostly Italian.......The restaurants were the real deal and i have been to Italy and My grandpa had an Italian restaurant in Bensonhurst Brooklyn NY ......I say this to qualify myself on what is authentic Italian Cuisine and believe me Amalfis is the best in Hampton Roads.......Proprietor Angelo and his lovely wife Marcia are always gracious and like family.........i highly reccomend this great dining experience...........Bill Pepe(the Braccioleman)
