We happened to be in Tappahannock, VA on a Monday evening celebrating our nephew's birthday and, by…read morechance, ended up at 528 Italian American Restaurant, and we're so glad we did. We had a party of 10, and they were incredibly quick to accommodate us. From the start, the service stood out. Our server worked hard throughout the evening to ensure everything was smooth and that we had an excellent dining experience. The food was fantastic. A few of us ordered the 40 oz. Tomahawk steak with shrimp and two sides, and it was easily one of the best steaks I've had. While $120 is definitely an investment, it was well worth it, the meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sauce on the side complemented it nicely, the sides were delicious, and the presentation really elevated the entire dish. It's also large enough to easily feed two people. Others at the table enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the surf and turf special (ribeye and shrimp for $40), a fish sandwich, and a ribeye steak and cheese. Everything that came out looked and tasted great. They also brought out complimentary bread with a homemade dipping sauce, which was a nice touch. You can tell they take pride in their food--we got the sense that much of it is made in-house. We also tried a few desserts, and they did not disappoint. The carrot cake, in particular, was one of the best I've had. Inside the restaurant was large and looked like they could host banquet and parties. We even had the opportunity to meet and talk with the owner, Tony, and were impressed by his background and passion for what he does. Overall, we had a great experience, and most importantly, our nephew had a wonderful birthday celebration. We will definitely be stopping back in the next time we're in the area.

The staff is friendly and attentive. Prices are in line with other seafood restaurants in the area with occasional "Crazy" specials. Now...the food: We started with 2 orders of their "Boom boom shrimp" it was absolutely delicious and a large portion. It was easily the star of the show. DO NOT pass these up. Also an order of Crab balls that were great as well. (I would have preferred cocktail sauce instead of tarter sauce with those, but they were great) I then ordered a mixed basket of fried oysters, shrimp and clams with a side of coleslaw and green beans. The coleslaw was excellent, the fried food was well fried and average(That does not mean bad, just nothing special..at least the Fryer oil was clean) and the green beans were a bit lacking in flavor despite there being some bacon added. Also 3 hush puppies came with the meal. They were very good, but they treat them like chick fil a treats their sauce. You get 3 little balls of fried dough. thats it. My Dad ordered the fried catfish special(2 gigantic pieces) and the same sides, The Catfish was very well fried and the breading was phenomenal. My Mom got a fried oyster basket with coleslaw and onion rings that she enjoyed greatly. The onion rings were perfect. This place is a bit out of the way, but well worth the trip. Loved it.
