Il Giardino Ristorante in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, United States | Italian Cuisine

Located at the oceanfront in Virginia Beach is Il Giardino Ristorante, an authentic Italian restaurant and piano bar. If you’re not familiar with what a restaurant and piano bar is, simply picture a large venue split into two halves. On one side is a high end Italian restaurant, while the other is a bar with a live pianist and entertainer.

If you were not just walking in off of Atlantic Ave., you would swear you were in Italy. White brick walls enclose the dining area, green air vents in the open ceiling blend well into all of the greenery surrounding you. Muted accents and speakers won’t draw your attention away from the earthy feel when seated. Brown wooden tables, chairs, 12x12 tiles, and wooden floor will give you the feeling of being outside in Italy.

Il Giardino Ristorante is a must visit. If only once, or for a special occasion, or if you are in the mood to splurge, you will see why this Italian restaurant is a local’s favorite. It may just become a favorite of yours!
