Editorial Review for Bodega – by Michele McCole Moss and Marisa and Steve Marsey
The Scene
The scene is set with Spanish flare: dark wood, a coppertop bar and a 100-year-old exposed brick wall. Mediterranean tiles decorate the bar and terra cotta covers the floor. In the afternoon, sunlight pours in through the large front window, illuminating the dozen or so daily specials jotted down on a chalkboard.
The Food
Their motto says it all, "Small plates, big drinks." The joy of Bodega is never having to narrow down your meal to just one dish. Can't decide between the pork loin with sherried raisin sauce or the hot chicken pot pie? Order both and share with a friend. Ruby red tomatoes are stuffed with crab and Parmesan in pesto. Garlic shrimp linguine gives you just the right amount of pasta and seafood. Pizzettes (mini pizzas) come topped with lamb, blue cheese and crab.

Bodega is a Spanish/Mediterranean tapas restaurant located in downtown Norfolk. Food--some of the best I had in 17 countries and most of the US travelled. Menu does not attempt to overreach in number of items, but what is offered has plenty of variety and of the four items I've had to date (in two visits)--can't be beat. There is a wine selection of equal quality and the staff has the expertise to recommend an approproate one for your dish or after your meal. The staff is relaxed, professional and friendly when engaged. Best food in Norfolk! Any of my future visits there will include at least one evening spent enjoying a fine dining experience there.
Pros: Fabulous Food, Great Wine, Excellent Service
Cons: Understated appearanc, Not for a cheap night
