As a novice food critic, I continually look for great Italian resturants. Cugini's, by far, out rank any pizza joints in and around Hampton Roads. I started eating there 4 years ago and absolutley refuse pizza from any other local establishment. Fresh, crisp hand-tossed dough, authentic sauces and the cheese seems to melt just right. Not too many ingredients just enough. I drive from Suffolk at least once a month to get their Pizza. Their pasta dishes are fabulous. Made with the same fresh ingredients. But don't take my word for it, I'm a novice.
Pros: Their ingredients are fresh and prepared daily. Pizza, pasta and garlic knots...Mama Mia!!
Cons: Parking can be cumbersome, due to lack of space for the whole shopping center, but worth the walk.
