Sirena

Always a fantastic experience/meal at Sirena! Had the Tuna Carpaccio appetizer sliced “Wafer thin”, and the Limited Edition Steak dinner. Fantastic!!!Food: 5/5

Our server did a great job taking care of us tonight. We enjoyed everything from the bread to the tiramisu. The rich flavor of the ingredients and the freshness made each dish so pleasurable to eat. Grilled octopus and sauteed calamari were so savory that we intentionally took our time to enjoy every bite. Frutti de mare tonight's special and spaghetti alle vongole were amazing as well. We appreciated the generous portion of the seafood in each dish. Tiramisu was the perfect dessert to conclude this wonderful meal. Truly this is one of the best dining experiences we've ever had.

Looking for a place to fill your craving for Italian cuisine? Well…look no further! This is the spot! With my wife being from Italy we have looked for a place that meets her standards! We found it! The food is awesome and well worth the price. You defiantly get what you pay for!Food: 5/5

Consistently THE BEST Italian food in Hampton Roads. And one of the best restaurants in Hampton Roads. See for yourself! And don't pay attention to some of the other reviews this place is fabulous. I'm a regular here and I've never been disappointed and I'm always pleasantly surprised.

I would give this place 20 stars if I could. The atmosphere of this place was amazing and the food was incredible. The host, Fabio, I believe is also the owner. He has created an amazing restaurant experience that is truly a gem and you can tell by the amount of regulars who were in the place, buy wine, and chat for hours. Virginia Beach is filled with very touristy restaurants that care more about cash grabbing, turning over tables, and price gouging....rather than creating an actual experience worth talking about. Sirena is the opposite. Worth every penny. Amazing service No rush. And INCREDIBLE food. Highly recommend the gnocchi. It was great to come across this place after 9 days in Virginia Beach trying restaurants with lackluster service and food. The entire city should learn from this restaurant! note: you're going to need to make reservations because this place is obviously very popular with its regular customers. Salut!!

I visited this place a couple weeks ago. As soon as I walk in, the owner is arguing with a customer over a reservation. He insisted she didn’t have one and she said the opposite. Who knows but it was the way he handled it. He wasn’t yelling loudly but it was such a disturbance the entire restaurant was watching. We sat down for a mediocre dinner at best. The owner was complaining constantly they didn’t have anyone to work and was clearly frustrated. That’s fine but extremely unprofessional. We spent several hundred dollars and were trying to enjoy our night. After dinner I requested Limoncello for our group before we left. He looked at me and rudely stated we don’t serve shots here. So embarrassing. I will Never visit this place again. The bathroom was filthy also.

What a scrumptious Caesar salad and Dover sole, not to mention the pistachio pie. Great service and a wonderful place to dine!Food: 5/5

We popped in for a casual weekday dinner and were completely impressed with menu variety and incredible quality of our meals. My wife and I ordered two specials halibut and seafood medley that were simply superb!

Amazing place to eat an authentic Italian meal. The owner is not apologetic about doing it his way so don’t try to change what is already perfect. The answer will be no!

I have to start by saying that as a chef from a Sicilian family, I am very particular about my food, especially Italian, and I take it very seriously. To the point where one negative aspect will ruin the entire meal and experience for me. That being said, I took my mother here for dinner tonight. The experience couldn't possibly have been any better. The bread while we waited was flawless. The crispy crust was perfectly thin and the bread was perfect. Even the water was the best I've ever had. Seriously, when the water gets your attention, it says a whole lot. The drinks were perfect and not watered down. I had the linguine con calamari. The roasted vegetables, capers, and cherry tomatoes were the perfect compliment to the dish. The sauce was spot on in flavor and texture, with just the right amount of kick to it to wake up your tastebuds. The calamari was so fresh and right in the sweet spot of perfectly cooked to the peak of tenderness. My mother had the lump flounder special with gnocchi, pine nuts, spinach, and raisins. As a lifelong native of Virginia Beach, my second passion behind cooking has always been fishing. I have been catching, cleaning, and preparing fresh fish dishes since I was 9 years old. In the 34 years since, I've made some amazing and memorable dishes. But nothing came close to what I tasted tonight. That dish was hands down the single greatest thing I've ever tasted in my life, and that is the highest praise I can ever give. Hats off to the chef, I tip my hat to you. The tiramisu was flawless. Real tiramisu with house made lady fingers. Not the previously frozen low budget cake version every other restaurant around here serves. The atmosphere is perfectly cozy, and the staff is wonderful, kind, and very welcoming. No amount of words and praise can ever give this experience the credit it deserves. I found my new favorite restaurant, and I couldn't be happier that it's across the street from my house. Everybody here deserves a congratulations on a job well done, you're amazing and I wish you a lifetime of success and happy guests.
