Razzo

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

I N C R E D I B L E !That sums it up !Fresh baked bread !!! I've seen Razzo's since it started back in OV yet never went until tonight! Boy was I missing out!Four of us went I had the veal FrancessSuper tender in a lemon and caper sauce with a side of pasta ! My amigo had the Penne ala vodka The other two ordered a brick oven baked pizza Needless to say because it all looked so great we all did a taste test it each other Is it possible for Al of them to be my favorite would be impossible any other way..Great wine selection! Service This is an example of what service should be ! Happy friendly, you can yepThey love working there . That goes a long way in my book !Set in an old fire station built back in the early 1900. I love that they persevered the original doors out front ! Ambiance is warm and inviting!After I had a wonderful cup of espresso and the others a cappuccino!! Front start to finish top to bottom aGREAT MEAL !

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.

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. Better be a garlic lover for that one. Split a bottle of wine and a Tiramisu togo. If you haven't tried y'all should. Opens at 5.

Traveled from Hampton for dinner and was so worth it. We had the prosciutto and asparagus and fried shrimp appetizers which were both so good. My wife got the caprese salad and I got rigatoni and meatballs. All was very good. Will be a weekly visit for us!
