Norfolk Dinner Opinions?

[vballgal]

Hi all! I usually post/lurk on the Boston board, but will be in Norfolk tomorrow night and was hoping for some opinions on dinner. I'm looking for someplace semi-near the Norfolk airport, American, seafood or Italian for a nice but not super fancy dinner. Price around $20-$30/entree. From searching this board, I've found the following:

- Todd Jurich
- Vintage Kitchen
- La Bella in Ghent
- Conklin's Irish Rover
- Razzo

Any opinions/comments on the restaurants listed above or any others would be great. Thanks in advance!

just a quick report back - we went to razzo and it was perfect! the food was delicious, the atmosphere was great and everybody (host, waitresses) were so friendly. we started with the asparagus, goat cheese and prosciutto app, which was awesome. i got one of the tuna mains and the two others in my group both got the pasta with ricotta and sausage - everything was delicious. hugh portions too, which made for good leftovers. thanks for the advice!

The pasta with ricotta and sausage is my favorite! ..And I can't even make a dent in it ;)

Do we love Razzo or what? The fennel appetizer, the tiramasu, the white lasagne. We are so lucky to have Razzo. Kris-I'm with you on Todd Jurich's. Never been wowed by that place.
WTH is Conklin's Irish Rover?

Definitely Razzo - fabulous food. I actually just went to dinner at Todd Jurich's last night with a fellow chowhound and wasn't too impressed. I would much rather spend the money at Razzo.
