    Absolutely loved the decor and ambiance of Virgilio’s. It took my family a couple of tries to finally get a reservation here, so our expectations were high. Expectations rose slightly once we saw the prices for each dish. There were many great options to choose from, especially for vegetarians, with a friendly and accommodating staff. However, with already high expectations, food was okay. I got the Fettuccine Contadina, the flavor was alright, but I felt that it could benefit from a little enhancing. Not sure if this is a must have when visiting St. Thomas, there are better restaurants to choose from.

    We stumbled upon this restaurant whil craving Italian food. If you have a large party, better to make reservations before hand. The ambiance of this restaurant is one that is filled with art work all around. The fresh garlic bread was amazing. We orders two vegetarian pastas - both were packed with so much flavor & taste. Lava cake for dessert was the perfect way to end the meal! I would definitely recommend this place when on the island!

    Excellent Italian restaurant located in downtown Charlotte Amalie. Although the restaurant is very small, the food and service were great. It is decorated with fantastic art work from locL artist. The house caesar salad for two is a must. We had the sea bass special and seafood linguini, which were very tasty.

    I was in a rush last night trying to get quick food to go and get out of rain. This place surpassed my expectations. They were east to find sun a local area serving at a later time when other restaurants were closing. They had a to go line which was outdoors. The workers were so kind to invite me in the kitchen to get out of rain and grabbed me a menu. They were so uplifting. Each and every one from the cooks to the cleaners. I ordered some of the best Greek salad I’ve ever had, a well seasoned minestrone vegetable soup and delicious eggplant Parmesan! I’ve posted pictures but trust me, the pictures do t do justice! Even at a late time, they were able to deliver quickly and effectively! Couldn’t ask for better to go service. Not to mention, It looked so nice inside..I can’t wait to come back and dine in.

    Quirky and cute ambiance. Loved all the decor. Space is super limited and intimate so make sure to make reservations and show up on time. The food tasted authentic with good portions and flavor.

    We visited Virgilio's as part of a food tour in Charlotte Amalie. The restaurant itself is cozy and dark, with various artwork displayed on the wall. It appears to be more of an upscale eatery as there were fine linens on the table. As part of the food tour, we enjoyed a bananas foster show. The end product was delicious. My only complaint was the portion was too small. 😂

    We came across this hidden gem during late lunch time while roaming the streets. Nice ambience and good service. Food is fresh and delicious. Soupe de mare (seafood soup) is amazing.

    Very nice and unique decor. Tasty minestrone soup Unfortunately the main was just nearly decent, lack of unique taste. The worst part- surly waiter. Watch your bill- they automatically add 20% tip- they call it “service charge”- misleading !! Overall- not worth the money. There are a lot better restaurants on the island

    This is one of the best Italians restaurant on island of Saint John's. The plating size of the food will not leave you hungry it is the same for lunch as is for dinner delicious as all get out. They have best vegetarian dishes. Take all food allergies serious. The quaint cozy place is very beautiful full of art.

    Mixed review, everyone in my party loved rhere food. I did not. I ordered the special of the Dat ravioli with spinach and roasted shrimp. Ravioli was good, but my shrimp tasted like I was eating a cube of salt. I would give it another try someday. Oh the cheesecake stay away order the tiramisu instead.

    Virgilios is our go-to for Italian on the island. Great food and a good selection of wine, beer, and mixed drinks. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable. We brought our twins here for their birthday and finished our meal with bananas foster, and everyone loved it.

    Loved the food, the staff, the atmosphere! Had my 50th birthday dinner there, so we had both a main course and dessert. For my birthday, they played a loud song on the speakers ("Celebration" by Kool and the Gang) and lit a firework as a candle in a champagne glass for my birthday. Limited parking, so walking there after parking in a lot is recommended.

    Visited in June 2023 during our summer vacation as we stumbled on this resturant by accident. We were early around 5pm and were lucky to get seated without a reservation as it got packed within the hour. The service was top notch and food was very good.

    Great restaurant in a great location, make a reservation please🙏 The food is very unique and delicious, the service is a little slow and need improvement

  • 5/5 mpsseahawk1 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Very cozy (read, you're probably going to meet the person at the table next to you) restaurant with wonderful art covering every wall. Food is excellent and served promptly. You will want to make a reservation. Our reservation was for 5:30 which hit before the rush. The broths, sauces, and soups were all expertly prepared and were rich and flavorful. We enjoyed appetizers, entrees and desserts and all were wonderful.

    The food was descent. I loved the ambience and the artwork throughout. Overall nice spot to relax and have a romantic dinner but not the best Italian food I’ve had. I wouldn’t recommend the cheesecake either.

  • 5/5 Heather B. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Honestly, in the week my family and I were on vacation, this was probably the best meal we had on the island. They accommodated our party of 12 by letting us move our reservation up an hour (tired kids ya know). Nobody left hungry. It was phenomenal. Wish we had a place like this back here in NW Iowa.

  • 5/5 CAROLYN F. 8 months ago on Google
    Omg. When I tell you the service and food was. EXCELLENT. I was skeptical going in but immediately impressed by staff. The bread was so good I had to order seconds 😁All cooked fresh. If I could give it 10 stars I would. I’m a picky eater and rarely ever do a review like this. We were on vacation from Missouri and googled Italian food and just picked one. We were not disappointed

  • 5/5 Alina N. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing! The decor is very intimate and romantic, the stuff very professional and friendly. The food amazing. They prepare the Caesar salad in front of you, all fresh ingredients. Soup del mare, lasagna, carbonara, and tiramisu are our favorites….but honestly everything is good from the menu. Nice selections of wine, nice cocktails also. This place is one what doesn’t need to be missed from the Island. I do recommend it!

  • 5/5 Dan G. 1 year ago on Google
    The entire waitstaff (especially Lola) were so polite, fun and energetic. Our meal was delish! The restaurant is lovely with and cozy. Ceasars salad, veal parm and bananas foster for dessert!

    I loved the atmosphere. Beautiful artwork and music playing. Friendly attentive staff. Tableside prepared Caesar salad and bananas foster. Far superior experience compared to other places I ate at for the same price.

  • 5/5 Mike Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Was not sure what to expect. But Italian food well done! The ambience was nice, low-lights with portraits everywhere. Definitely a different elegant vibe when walking in from the street

  • 4/5 Rad D. 1 year ago on Google
    Since it's the only Italian restaurant on The Rock, it is legitimately the best! That being said, it's been better in the past years, but we still come back each year. Less variability here than many other places on island which seem to have many "off days!" Hope once tourism bounces back the quality will improve but thats all driven my competition, of which there is little here. If you need an Italian fix while visiting, go to Virgilio's. By all means have the Bananas Foster flambé!

  • 5/5 Aiden G. 1 year ago on Google
    Taken here by our family who lives on the island. There is a reason they eat here once a week! Pasta is fresh and every sauce was perfect. We had an off-menu tasting plate (gnocchi w/ red sauce, ravioli with alfredo, and portabella mushroom with an oil/vinegar reduction). I had the linguine al pesto (photo), which was delicious. Oh and you can't forget the decor, which is unique and what I would describe as a moody Louvre. We will visit again!
