The food was excellent as usual, but the service from Jake was on point! Monday happy hour 5:00pm to 9:00pm is where it's at. Make sure you ask for Jake!

Our second visit was as delightful as our first! The setting is warm and inviting, and our dinners were both delicious. Our server, Steve, was friendly and attentive, patiently repeating the specials and giving us plenty of time to choose.

We went with friends on Sunday and had a wonderful meal. The veal dishes are delicious as are the pasta. My only complaint is the wines are a bit pricey but all in all it's a great place to go to!

Nothing you can ask for won't be addressed, quickly (if you say "please") and the night will be a great memory.
Chris Fletcher (manager) is the best I've seen for his concern that the...

On a trip to Florence, Italy in 1983, Il Giardino founder Tony Gargiulo saw a wood burning oven and knew it would be the centerpiece for the soon-to-open restaurant at Virginia Beach's Oceanfront. From that came the idea for another Il Giardino location with a more casual atmosphere.

Opened in 2016, The Great Neck location offers the same great menu and food. All items prepared with the...
