Soprano Italian Restaurant#2( hidenwood area) - Newport News, Virginia

I ordered fried mushrooms, and they were WET like sopping wet. I'm usually a fan of them, but I couldn't get over the splunk shot these gave. Other food was ok not amazing.

It's clear they use only frozen pre-made product. If the price was 50% less I'd understand. But for a knockoff of olive garden that has less flavor... I'd never go again. And I despise implying olive garden has any flavor.

Will say the mozzarella sticks and onion ring were cooked well. Unusually crunchy/stringy, respectively. Much better than any meat they serve. But still obviously pre-made/frozen.

I bought large roast beef. When I got there the lady took out a burnt sub. She threw it through a window. Then she said it would be 5 more minutes. I received a new roll but they gave me the burnt roast beef. It was very tough. I did take a picture but no where to load it.

Ordered a 3 topping calzone for delivery and this is what I got for $30. A 8 inch glorified hot pocket LOL!

Super disappointing big waste of money. I can't believe I paid for this. This was the worst purchase I've ever made maybe in my entire life.

I payed $25 for a calzone and it was the smallest piece of garbage I had ever seen. It was mostly bread and I could have gotten so much more incredible food for that price somewhere else. I also ordered the cheese sticks appetizer and there was more food in the $8 cheese sticks bread than their was in my entire tiny calzone I received.

I only ordered from this restaurant because Vinny's To Go was closed and I thought Sopranos would have had the same quality or better. You can buy a calzone 5 times the size for half the price and better ingredients at Vinny's To Go. I wish I had just waited until Vinny's To Go was open, I guess they are a really special place if this is what other Italian restaurants have to offer.

Do not order from this place, it's truly a scam.

Food is really good. Sauce is towards the sweet taste style of red sauce. The house dressing is like a zesty Italian so it has a bit of a bite. Lots of variety on the menu. Pizza fries too.

Most of the staff are very warm and welcoming. Great portions and food is served hot. Has outdoor dining area as well as run down/dated cozy inside.

Only downside to this place is the neighborhood behind it and the tiny giant convenience store next door. There are some rough people that will harass you at night and they tend to target women more. So use caution if going alone. Wish they'd just move the restaurant to a new place.

Went here to eat after reading the good reviews. All I can say is many of the positive reviews have to be fake. Went there at dinner time on a Friday night and only one car in parking lot. Dining room was completely empty. This should have been my first clue to go somewhere else. The entire time we was at dinner not one person came into the dining room.
FOOD
I ordered the Chicken Alfredo and Veal Parmigiana. My friend cannot have fried food so I asked if they can make it without fried veal. Second clue not to eat here: waitress stated that fresh veal would be extra. The veal on the $15 veal parmigiana is frozen patties and fresh veal is extra charge.

Brought two salads that contained lettuce, tomatoes and onions. The lettuce and greens were crisp and cold. Unfortunately, so was the mushy tomatoes that had been cut and store in refrigerator. The tomatoes had some white liquid on some of them that was obviously something spilled on them from some other food in the refrigerator. I removed the tainted tomatoes and the rest of the salad was acceptable.

The Chicken Alfredo was some thick, lumpy liquid on top of pasta that had been previously prepared and partially heated. I took one bite of the Chicken Alfredo and that was all I could stomach without getting sick. The Alfredo sauce was not fresh and it the lumpiness was probably from reheating some sauce that had been in cold storage for who knows how long. I pushed the sauce aside hoping to at least eat a little of the pasta that did not have sauce on it. Again, the pasta was very stale and it was cold and warm in places. Not freshly made.

The veal parmigiana consisted of one very small piece of cheap cut of veal and was very tough. I had a hard time cutting it with the knife. There was very little sauce on it and the sauce was thick and also reheated.

I can't say this was the worse meal I have ever eaten out, but I can't remember another time when I had a meal this bad. The only reason they must still be in business is because of the Pizza. There were several people that came in to get Pizza or Subs to go when we were eating.

SERVICE:
After the waitress brought our meals, she did not come back one time to check on us. I had to go to the bar to get my tab and pay my bill.
Total bill was $40 with tip. You can get a decent quality Italian meal for two people for under $40 by avoiding this place.
