“I ordered a calzone with sausage, chicken, mushrooms, onions, garlic, roasted red peppers, jalapeños, feta and ricotta cheeseWith a 10pc buffalo wings plate. I will say I have never eaten a calzone where the dough was nice and fluffy with every bite. I find myself forgetting to respect food- because I just eat to eat. Man listen, first bite- second bite, I’m like who in theeeee helllllll made this piece of heaven?! THAT SHIZZLE was so flippin ahhhmazing, I had to drive 31 mins and have her try it too.- she’s a calzone person like me. Pizza is still cool- but a damn fricken good calzone can make a man check himself about knowing where to go when you need some bomb food. Thank you Cabrerras,much appreciated! I haven’t even tried the wings yet, I’m pretty sure I won’t be disappointed ?“
“Awesome cheese steak hoagie! Fresh cut fries as well, just make the meal amazing! The top of the bun was a little chewy which I wasn't sure if I liked, but with every bite it just got better and better! $12 for a 6inch steak sandwich, fries, and a soda! Awesome price for the quality and taste! I will be back next visit! Thanks for the great food!“
“I spent New Years Eve here and while the space was amazing, the planning and execution of the event was not. We paid extra for a VIP experience - the food was FANTASTIC! Probably the best thing of the night! The evening included a 90s dress contest, a 90s band and midnight champagne toast....Well, the contest winner was not even announced nor was added to their Instagram - there were 4 pictures posted out of everyone dressed up. Up in the VIP room, there was NO count down or anything - it was 2024 and we didn't even realize it - so much for our special midnight toast in the VIP Lounge! While I didn't know one song the band played, I was assured they were 90s songs. the advertisements should have said ONE STYLE of 90s music.. this event can be great....Just needs some work to it ... especially when people are paying extra!“
“This place was easily the best Italian food I’ve had since my grandfather closed his business 10 years ago. The service was wonderful and the delivery robot was a fun and interesting addition. The quality of the ingredients was of the highest caliber. As we were eating we could hear the very Italian accents of the kitchen staff and I instantly knew the owner was there watching over his business. Additionally I can tell you the sauce was made from scratch in house not from some can or bag like most places. We took a piece of cheesecake home and I seriously started giggling as I took the first bite. The only complaint I could even think of is that the place is 25 miles from my house but I will be going back to sample more of their very authentic very impressive offerings. If you are the owner of this establishment and you are reading this you should be very proud of yourself and the work that you do!!!“
“The short rib ravioli was amazing! We arrived in time to enjoy the happy hour and the Brussels sprouts appetizer were crispy and so good. Highly recommend the chocolate torte, served on plate with cocoa powder, the playing of the dishes took it up a notch and well presented! Will definitely be coming back.“
“Had friends visiting Richmond who wanted to experience Joe's Inn. Happened to be a very busy day for Joe's Inn because of the 10K on Monument Ave. The hospitality, service, and quality of the food was exceptional. The staff was ready for a hungry, energetic crowd.Vegetarian options: There are numerous vegetarian options. One member of our party is vegetarian, and she is the one who steered us there, because her prior experience was so good. Those of us who are not vegetarians had great options, too.Parking: It's in the Fan, but on-street parking spaces do not require permits in this area.Kid-friendliness: A few children were there, they fit into the atmosphere but did not dominate it.“
“I have been twice now. We sat in the restaurant once and at the bar the other time. The ambiance is solid. The wine selection is one of, if not the best in the city. I love that they offer coravin pours of large format bottles. Their menu is a comfortable approach to edgy. They push boundaries of normal while still satisfying grandma's need for a classic. Thankful to have something like this so close to home.“
“We ate at La Grotta for the first time last night. It will be the first of many! The service, food, and ambiance were spectacular. We were a party of 3 and each of us cleaned our plates. Our friend with Celiac could choose from almost the entire menu which is unheard of, especially at an Italian restaurant. If you're looking for a truly delicious meal, you'll find it at La Grotta! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“Would give them 100 ⭐️'s! This is an absolute hidden gem in the city of Richmond. We stopped in before heading to a show at Altria. Not big, ting place, but we squeezed in at the bar and made bar buddies with the couple sitting next to us since we were bumping elbows. I ordered the Oyster Mushroom meal, and it was one of the most amazing dishes I've ever eaten. Didn't even know you could make it into a full meal. My buddy got fresh made sausage, which he gave me a bite of, and it was incredible as well. If you want some top of line Italian food and not the normal stuff, you need to try Dinamo!“
“This was my cousin and my first time here and everything from entering the building to the ease of ordering was spectacular! We did have some recommendation’s from Chef Kristi on some wine pairings and they did not disappoint! We tried the GRECHETTO, which is a white wine and for my girlies and guys who love Sauvignon blanc or Pinot Grigio, you will love this!! We also tried the PINOT NERO and this was a hit!! I’m a red wine drinker and this was so smooth and full of flavor! We had the fried homemade mozzarella and the Parmesan risotto fries to start (thanks Chef) and they were perfect!! I ordered the Pappardelle with Sausage Ragu and instead of the salad I had the Pancetta and onion soup! The consistency, the flavor, the temperature of the soup, all perfect! The pasta was so fresh, the sausage had an amazing taste and the sauce was perfect! My cousin ordered the chicken Alfredo Alfredo and the chicken was seasoned perfectly!! The sauce to pasta ratio was spot on!! For dessert we had the limoncello marscapone cake and yall… the freshest, most moist slice of cake I’ve ever had! The flavor of the lemon was not too overpowering and it did not stand a chance on that table! 10/10 recommend!!“
“A delightful coffee shop in the West End. I came once many years ago and it's only gotten better. I'm not a coffee drinker so I actually got a hot chocolate, but they have lots of espresso flavors and it's clear they take coffee very seriously. I did get an apple turnover, which was delicious! Perfectly flaky and full of apple filling. There's lots of indoor and outdoor seating for the space, and it's clear that they have some very loyal regulars. Overall it's a very cozy space, and I'm excited to come back and try some more things from the menu next time!Parking: There's a good amount of parking here that's shared with the other businesses in this shopping center.“
“Cutest deli shop I've ever been in, the atmosphere and food were quite delightful. I haven't had many subs in my life but the Mediterranean Magic sub I can declare my favorite sub ever. I would recommend for anyone in Richmond looking for a delicious lunch and place to dine.“
“The MoM gets 5 stars. Got a great tutorial from Victoria of Column 15 Coffee on their wares. Tried the cold brew with a frozen coffee bomb in the middle. Heavenly! We gorged on a Hanover tomato and meatball Polpetti pocket sammich. Fresh and delicious! Will be back after 4 pm to try Auntie Ning’s Filipino food and Take and Bake options. They have not officially opened, but they are already one of my favorites in the neighborhood.“
“This place is a brand new favorite, the service is exceptional and it’s so adorable inside. There’s plenty of seating, it’s a small place but it isn’t too cramped. There’s also a ramp and double-doors so it’s definitely wheelchair accessible.They also had an array of fresh food and desserts. We brought subs and fried foods as well as a couple desserts, they were all perfect.I found the service was absolutely the best feature, our server Georgia acknowledged the moment we walked in, made sure if we needed assistance at all that she was available, and gave suggestions and input on the items we were interested in ordering. We’ll definitely be back!“
“Enoteca Sogno sets the bar for excellent Italian cuisine in Richmond. Tucked away in a nondescript building in Bellevue, this cozy, welcoming restaurant offers incredibly delightful Italian dishes and a robust wine list. I was DD but I heard great things about the Moscato wine. We ordered the robiola cheese to start, which came with their super lovely homemade bread. We needed a second helping of that. Even the olive oil was clearly high quality. For my meal, I opted for the crespelle pasta special, which was basically like a pasta crepe with spinach, bechamel, and cheese with marinara. It was so good and not sickeningly filling, which was an added plus. It let me save room for their lemon mascarpone cake for dessert! Service was prompt and friendly. I was glad we were able to score a table on a rainy Wednesday evening. For busier times, I'd definitely book a reservation.“
“My family and I ate here while traveling home from vacation in 4/2024. We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. Our server was very good and polite. Our food came out quickly and was correct and prepared well.This particular visit was one we were looking to eat and run to get back on the road. The waiter understood and obliged.We would definitely eat here again if the situation presented itself.Kid-friendliness: Waiter joked with our 10 year old son“
“I’d like to give every staff member who worked this past Saturday a loud shoutout! My husband and I threw my MIL an 80th birthday party. We had a party of 30. There was also a party of about 50 celebrating an 80th birthday. We were concerned with how long we would have to wait for appetizers, drinks and food. However, it went flawless. Thank you for delivering on what clearly is a special reason for all 80 of us to celebrate the two 80 year olds we are blessed to have❤️ See you next time we are in town. Oh, I didn’t even mention this was a party organized from out of state. Maria was excellent helping me in the reservation too!“
“Imagine succulent salmon fillets grilled to perfection, infused with the tangy zest of lemon butter that tantalizes your taste buds with each bite. The richness of the buttery sauce complements the delicate salmon, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. As you savor each morsel, the burst of briny capers adds a delightful contrast, enhancing the overall depth of the dish.Accompanying the salmon are plump, tender mussels bathed in a luxurious garlic butter sauce. With every spoonful, the aroma of garlic fills the air, inviting you to indulge in its savory essence. The velvety texture of the butter coats each mussel, amplifying their natural sweetness and creating a harmonious blend of flavors.Together, the lemon butter grilled salmon and butter garlic mussels create a culinary masterpiece that is both comforting and exquisite, leaving you craving for more with every unforgettable bite.That is my experience though ?“
“This restaurant has never let me down. I was ordering from them off of a delivery app but I finally decided to save myself some money and visit them in person. The staff was super friendly and the food was really good. I recommend the sausage neapoletana it has been my go to. Highly recommended!“
“Had a night out with the Lady, it took a second to get seated, & there wasn't anywhere to wait that wasn't in the way of the wait staff, but we were seated in a nice corner section, making it very easy to hear my girlfriend, despite it being quite bustling, we had the branzino & the napolese spaghetti with squid, scallops, mussels, etc, I am finishing the leftovers now, two days later & it is still delicious. Would give 5 stars if there was a lobby or waiting area.“
“A true Richmond gem! The staff is absolutely delightful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The fresh pasta, subs, and small batch spirits are amazing. The frozen lasagna, ravioli, and cannelloni offerings are always a wonderful treat after a long day when I want something homemade but don’t want to cook something from scratch. They are a pick-up location for Creambrook Farms raw milk share (how I found out about this amazing spot). Don’t miss out on their house smoked salmon, signature cocktails, or small but well curated beer and wine selections either!“
“It's absolutely the best Pizza and best place to enjoy real Appiza! The owners are always there working!!? That's always a Plus and they're from Sicily/ Italy. Who better to create Good whoops Great sauce than a native Italian? There's a relaxing feeling there. You may sit at a table and enjoy its pizza or lasagna or any one of their many Italian dishes created their. The prices are reasonable, service excellent and the food is above average... Delicious!!!! I consider myself a Pizza or Appiza expert because I am from Connecticut the home of Pizza! Frank Pepe came up with the idea ? using a cookie sheet, mozzarella and good sauceHe created a pizza ?!!! They also have a Chicago style if you prefer it and it's great“
“Pretty good pizza in freaking giant slices. Unlike most giant slice places these dont suck. I got just olives on my slice. Guy asked kalamata or green? Seriously.The one major shortcoming is that they have shakers for oregano and garlic powder but no parmesan. Unless there is some secret insider method for obtaining a cheese shaker by turning the second wall sconce counterclockwise.They have a lot of interesting pies, but I found the menu hard to read so I just asked them what they have. This is on me though, I have bifocals, and the menu is on the front of the counter. So you have to look down to read it, snd that angle is awful on bifocals. Especially when handwritten.Will go back.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options. I didnt see any vegan pies though, but to be fair I didnt read the entire menu because its hard to read.“
“La Cucina in Midlothian, VA is a hidden gem! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff create a welcoming experience. The menu offers a delightful variety of Italian dishes that are made with the freshest ingredients. From the perfectly cooked pasta to the flavorful sauces, each bite is a true delight. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring you leave satisfied. Don't forget to save room for dessert! The tiramisu is simply divine. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a family gathering, La Cucina is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!“
“I recently attended a retirement dinner at The Reserve Restaurant & Bar at The Highlands, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. I opted for the steak, and I must say, it was pretty good. The meat was cooked to perfection and had a nice flavor to it. In terms of value, I found it to be decent; the quality of the steak matched well with the price.The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, with a cozy and elegant atmosphere that suited the occasion perfectly. The service was also commendable, with attentive staff ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable.While the steak may not have been the best I've ever had, it certainly met my expectations and provided good value for the price. Overall, I would recommend The Reserve Restaurant & Bar for anyone looking for a nice meal in a pleasant setting.“
“I ordered the special, a small sub, fries and drink for 10 dollars! It was amazing and so delicious!! The hospitality was also amazing which honestly made the food taste so much better! My friend ordered a slice of cheese pizza and it came out hot and fresh like the rest of the food. Overall very awesome and will be attending this place regularly 20/10“
“Why can't the French dip be added to the menu? I would love to come by after work around 6pm and order the French dip! I would eat here more often and spend more money if I could get the French dip at any time of day. It's so sad I can only get it from 11am to 3pm. I would spend more time and money here if the owner would keep this on the main menu. I hope he actually looks at these reviews, but I doubt it.“
“I had the linguine and white clam sauce. It was really good. For desert, I had a cannoli that was really good too.Vegetarian options: Many options of vegetable dishes and other dishes with no meat or fish.Kid-friendliness: Many dishes children would like and many families with children.“
“Nummmm nummm nummm. Consistently good but beware, causes serious cravings. I loooooove the spaghetti with meat sauce, it's more of that Tuscan flavor than a tomato base and is enough for two sittings. The prosciutto, mozza, arugula hero is perfect if you are in the mood for a light summer meal.“
“My wife grew up not too far from here, and when she was a kid, she said they came to Sal's all the time. Although not sure when but she said that they have definitely changed ownership since she's been here last. She really wanted one of their cheese pizzas. Even though it wasn't as she remembered and a little different, she said that it was still pretty good. She said that the sauce is a tad sweeter now than what it used to be. I thought their veal parmesan was excellent! I don't know why, but my daughter ended up ordering their chicken noodle soup, but she didn't care for it very much. She did enjoy the mozzarella sticks, though. Service was pretty good, and it definitely has a mom and pop feel to it, and it looks like they have a new bar area that seems to be the new in fashion glowing lights and such. They have quite a few specials that are going on. Very solid pizza place.“
“Oh man, it’s been too long since I visited Pegasus!My wife and I visited last night for Valentine’s Day and both asked, “Why haven’t we been here in years!?”Amazing Greek food, steaks, and great wine choices - with a very friendly staff that makes sure you want for nothing. I suspect Pegasus relies on word of mouth- the place was hopping - but Richmonders need to know this little unassuming place is a treasure.“
“Subs are sooo good. Especially the spicy meatball and spicy chicken parm. Fried ravioli are really good too. I’m from up north and am picky on my chicken cutlets and meatballs. Everything I’ve had so far has been great! Definitely need to open a full blown restaurant!!“
“I've been coming here for years always make you feel like family....Food is always on pointVegetarian options: Not a vegetarian but it's Italian Pizza greatDietary restrictions: They fix it the way you want itParking: Plenty roomKid-friendliness: GreatWheelchair accessibility: Great“
“If you come here come for the 90s italian atmosphere. Weird nostolgia kickMozerella stix - Only get fresh not takout. Mid at best marinara.Mozerella mix not very goey, hence get hot.Fries- over cooked extra brown. Ok for being that.Chicken parm - slight chlorine taste in chicken. Might still eat again?Pizza veggie - mid' not greasycheaper end of price range is +“
“We are business neighbors of Joe's pizza and a review is long over due. As a catering company, we spend so much time cooking for others and never for us! So when lunch time rolls around Joe's is our 'go-to'. Everything is ALWAYS tasty and portions generous. The size of a slice of pizza blew my nephews mind. Haha. Our order is filled quickly and accurately every single time. And the icing on the cake is that they hand deliver our order to our business so that we can get back to work while it is being prepared. The family that runs it is also always a pleasure to interact with. Hats off to Joe's Pizza!“
“Absolutely fantastic philly cheesesteaks! Completely unexpected, but definitely worth giving a try. I got a 12" with extra steak, extra onions, American/Swiss cheese, and mayo. (Pictured below) exactly what I ordered and delicious! Yum!“
“We are new to the area, and so far we've only gotten take out pizza orders and they have been great so far. Hopefully when we get our bearings down a little bit we'll have a nice night out. The atmosphere inside is very nice and it smells so good in there. Every time I've come to pick up my food it's been busy, but not too busy to help you get your order on time, which is a good sign.Glad this place is literally like 2 minutes from our home.“
“Food and drink were delicious. The kale salad is a MUST! I got what sounded like a plain dish of rolled noodles with tomato basil sauce and homemade ricotta. The dish was silky and flavorful. The sauce and creamy ricotta were perfect.The spot is super cute and vibey. It was a tad bit loud for me but that is what it is, especially when it’s an intimate and yummy restaurant.“
“I ordered the chicken parmigiana entree with the garlic knots side and the portions were fantastic! I loved their marinara sauce ❤️ the entree was excellent. The garlic knots weren't as soft as I thought they would be but they still had excellent flavor.“
“This is a cozy "pizza place" with lots of other food options like Italian dishes, pasta, American food. The pizza options are pretty much unlimited, and everything tasted great! The staff is very friendly and accommodating.Wheelchair accessibility: I am handicapped but I elected to use my cane this time. I would be completely comfortable using my wheelchair next visit.“
“The pizza is beyond delicious! Thin, soft and chewy crust. The mozzarella balls and meatballs appetizers are so delicious! I crave this food! The guys that work there are always nice and friendly! My favorite pizza from RVA to Tidewater!Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options!“
“I went to Candela's for the first time a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised. The front of the resturant is nothing special but inside was a nice homey atmosphere that was very clean and welcoming. I'm a stickler for clean resturants and everything here was spotless. The food is the real reason for this review. AWESOME FOOD! The Italian bread on the sandwich was so fresh and tasty. I haven't had good Italian bread like that since I lived in NYC years ago. All the ingredients were FRESH unlike these sub places. It tasted so good I was full but kept trying to finish it. The 8" Italian sub was what I ordered and it was delicious. I will definitely be back.“
