“My daughter and I had lunch on Sunday. I enjoyed a perfect burger ! And , she had the cilantro chicken sandwich and truffle fries. All delicious !! The bread and dipping oil to start were perfect. It was our first time in and won’t be our last. Eager to try more menu items in the future. We are so glad to have Il Forno in Ashland !“

If you are looking for great Italian food and want to support a small/local business, then Vito's is your place. Thanks Amanda and Vito for supporting your community and customers!“

“Wow! My first time at Anthony’s #2. I was welcomed by the manager (could have been the owner) and was told to sit wherever I want. The young man that served me had a fantastic attitude and did a great job. They started me with a hot, fresh baked roll and a salad. It was not a gourmet salad, but the lettuce was fresh and crisp with tomato, onions and green olives. Then the Chicken Parmesan came out over spaghetti with plenty of gravy ( yes, that is what grandpa Emilio called it) - two thick pieces of chicken. I had a glass of red wine and the bill WAS $24.00. This place is a 5 out of 5 stars for me.“

“Awesome pizza! We'll be back soon!“

“Highly recommend the Chicken Alfredo, it was amazing! Customer service is on point :)“

“I was there this evening for dinner. Got a pizza and a cheesesteak with my brother. The cheesesteak was by far the best I've ever had. The pizza is always hot and fresh. Service is great! Keep up the good work!“

“real Italian menu, you absolutely have to try the Sicilian specialties“

“Had the BEST birthday dinner EVER!!! Best food and service since I was in Italy!!! I highly recommend going if you haven’t been! Thank you so much to the staff and owners for making it so special!!!😘“

“Great food , great service“

“This place is the absolute best in the Richmond surrounding area. The owner is really nice and his food is amazing. The amount of food you get for the price is another reason to come here. The cheesesteak is one of the bests I’ve ever had. I ordered an 8 inch and he gave me a 12 inch. I could easily split this up into 3 meals. Go support local business and enjoy 😍“

“Amazing owner and staff!!! Most delicious Italian food!!! 10 out of 10 for Jeff and I. Family owned, can't wait to try the Hillsboro, NC location!“

“I ordered the Sicilian pizza for take-out, so service and atmosphere are really not important. However, as part of service, when I called in the order, it was very cheerfully taken, and they called me when it was ready. I like Sicilian pizza very much, but it's usually rather dry. This was anything but. The cheese is great, but the sauce is fantastic. I'd say it's the BEST Sicilian pizza I've ever had. I'm from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania originally, home of pan-fried Sicilian (which is a different thing altogether). But for lovers of very traditional Sicilian, I'd highly recommend this!“

“My cycling club has made al fresco dining at Franco's a Thursday night fixture post ride. The food is always very good. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. They servers are always very welcoming.“

“Great food and service but not much wine choices“

“What an amazing experience. This is a very unassuming place! We travel and try not to eat at chains.. Tony's didnt disappoint! Amazing service, and food all at a better than reasonable price.. go hungry!“

“I did a catering order for Christmas Eve. Lasagna and Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, salad with homemade Italian dressing and Garlic Knots. It was the most delicious Italian meal any of us had ever had!!! There was 7 family members for dinner. THANK YOU LIDIA'S!!!! You made our night!!!! Most sincerely, Diane Weiser, Richmond, VA“

“Very good service and atmosphere. The food overall was very good but their trademark complimentary salad was not as expected. The dressing did not taste like it usually does. Not sure what changed with the salad dressing, but it was not what we usually get from the Olive Garden franchise.“

“First time ever and it was AMAZING… Justin was the best waiter with a great attitude… food was delicious and you couldn’t beat the take home price… can’t wait to return:)“

“You would not think that a restaurant of this quality would be located in a small strip shopping center. The food is awesome. I've had mostly seafood dishes and they have been great. The value is phenomenal. It is well worth going to the Pasta House!“

“I love mimmo's pizza! It's the best in Mechanicsville or Henrico by far! I try to get a pepperoni pizza here once a week and it never disappoints. I always do a pickup order and it's ready fast, the staff and owner are super friendly!“

“I believe I couldn't find a bad menu item here if I tried. they just nail it, whether pizza, pasta, even the apps. highly recommend“

“Their food is delicious and their stromboli portions are generous. I will definitely be eating there again!“

“Im a new Door Dasher and deliver many many orders from here. It always reminds me of the "Real"Italian smells in Italy so I had to try it. Absolutely Amazing!!“

“Haven't ate here in a while. Got the ham and chesse sub which was great. Son got the personal pizza which filled him up. The wife also got a sub. All three of us ate for 45 bucks. Which isn't bad. The waitress was friendly and helpful. Checked in on us multiple times.“

“Visit today 7/18/25 at 5 pm , party of 3 people. We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in the door! Food was great, atmosphere felt authentic. Our lady who served us was so sweet and kind. Empanadas and pork dishes highly recommend! We will definitely be back and recommend! Parking lot and easy to find.“

“Food was excellent. Staff couldn't have been nicer.“

“Great as always. Good service.“

“Great food and the owner and employees are awesome“

“As New Yorkers we really know our pizza and Italian cuisine. We tend to have high standards of expectation. That Is why we were pleasantly surprised when we visited with Apollo’s Pizza. The restaurant was highly recommended to us by local Richmond friends who, like ourselves, are seasonal New Yorkers who sought out the best local “New York Style” Pizza. Our experience was outstanding. First, the atmosphere of the restaurant and the professionalism of the staff was refreshing after a long day of work. We were welcomed with open arms by the owner who really made us feel very welcome. The menu offered quite a selection and variety of authentic Italian dishes. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, flavorful and stunning to look at. The ingredients were fresh and the portions were abundant. I highly recommend visiting this special restaurant and trying their brick oven pizzas which are available with an assortment of toppings. The great thing is we can also order out on nights when all we want to do is go home to relax. This really is an awesome place.“
