Extra Virgin
Extra Virgin: The Italian Restaurant
Extra Virgin is Virgin Voyages’ dedicated Italian restaurant, offering a laid-back yet considered take on traditional trattoria dining. Found mid-ship on Deck 6, it’s often one of the more popular restaurants onboard—especially for fans of fresh pasta and Italian wines.
The Setting
Extra Virgin has the feel of a relaxed, neighborhood-style Italian spot, with a few modern touches. The space is warm and comfortable, with a steady energy in the evenings. It’s an easygoing place to settle in for a slow dinner with friends, with enough polish to feel like a treat.
Extra Virgin Menus
Each ship has a slightly different version of the Extra Virgin menu, so while you’ll find some familiar dishes across the fleet, there are unique additions depending on where you’re sailing.

Antipasti
Starters often include options like beef carpaccio or crispy fried artichokes, alongside a charcuterie board served tableside with a generous spread of meats and cheeses. The gorgonzola tends to get a lot of praise.
Pasta
The pasta is made fresh onboard and cooked to order. From simple cacio e pepe to richer dishes with seafood or mushrooms, the menu sticks to Italian roots without being too heavy.
Mains
The main course options, including dishes like the robust pork cheek and the subtly flavored sea bass, offer a satisfying taste.
Wine Bar
There’s a dedicated wine bar connected to the space, open for walk-ins whether you’re dining or not. It’s a good spot to try Italian wines by the glass, either before your meal or later in the evening.
