45 Best Italian Restaurants near Highland Springs

“I really enjoy eating here, the people and food are great! We eat in there a few times a month. The "secret" menu as I called it before is now expanded and on every table. I love it, go get cultured and eat some amazing un-Americanized Spanish foods that will fill you up, not leave your stomach hurting when you leave, and leave you wanting to try everything on the menu! The Baleadas are great go get them!“

“Great local spot with lots of Fan area history.“

“We accidentally found this place and we are glad we did. Roberto greeted us and took great care of us. Lots of art work and great music playing in the back ground.“

“Lemoncello on point as well pasta!“

“We dined at Lost Letter tonight for our 10 year anniversary. The entire evening was perfect. Superb service, drinks, food, and atmosphere. We both said that it felt like we were in one of our favorite Chicago restaurants. Being welcomed with a “lost letter” at our table wishing us a happy anniversary was also such a sweet, sentimental touch. Thank you for a memorable evening. We can’t wait to come back!“

“We really Enjoyed our Dinner last night and our Server was beyond Great! We look forward to going back! The Sicilian Pasta and Chicken Wings were both Extremely Delicious!“

“I have been a patron of this establishment for over 30 years and in all that time I have never been asked to pay a gratuity fee. I have had birthday parties , baby showers and rehearsal dinner. I realize there was six in my party. Paying by two different checks. The owner whom my kids played with growing up tells me its on the menu that the its up to the server degression to use it or not. You know where it is on the menu???? All the way down at the bottom paste the food items. In smaller print. Sad to say I will no longer be a customer here thanks to the sever Miranda“

“Amazing pizza and calzone. 360 was recommended by a local resident as we were driving through Mechanicsville, and we're so glad we stopped.“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Cozy neighborhood Italian restaurant. We went on a cold evening when we just didn't have the energy to cook ourselves. Perfect choice! Had fresh fish of the day- super fresh and perfectly prepared. Perfect server. Home made Ceasar salad to start. Again, just right. Highly recommend!!!“

“This ISNT for the Olive Garden employees but for THE PERSON WHO CREATED OLIVE GARDEN and makes them stupid ass rules why when getting pasta at the bottom it’s sooooo dry ??? I have to order extra sauce every time just for them to give me a small ass cup of Alfredo, it’s so infuriating because nobody wanted to pay an extra 1-3 dollars for the bigger cup y’all could supply after the order was already like 21+ dollars…. Again nothing wrong with the employees or nothing, Head Olive Garden FIX IT NEOW!“

“All fresh ingredients and friendly staff!“

“My close friends and I have been meeting for lunch at Gus's every Thursday for over 10 years and have no intention of stopping. Our meals and service could not be better. Many of us go there at other times, also, for the same reasons. My personal idea of a good restaurant is how often you want to return. Scott and Lisa really know what they are doing!“

“Great food and service but not much wine choices“

“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“

“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!“

“Gersi Italian Restaurant in Richmond, VA is straight-up lit. This place is bussin with vibes that are just chef's kiss. The food? Absolute fire. Their homemade pastas are on another level, especially the Limone pasta and skirt steak. And if you haven't tried their vanilla Panna cotta, you're missing out big time. The atmosphere is skibiddi cool, with a perfect mix of cozy and classy. It's the kind of spot where you can flex your riz on a date or just chill with the squad. The service is top-notch too, making you feel like a sigma alpha. Prices are pretty standard for a nice Italian joint, with pasta dishes ranging from $17.95 to $23.95 before tax. And if you're feeling adventurous, their kale salad and homemade tagliatelle Bolognese are definitely worth a shot and the chicken parm slaps! Overall, Gersi is a solid pick if you're in the mood for some legit Italian food in Richmond. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure your drip is fire -Gersi is worth checking out! And ask for Erika she’s sigma!“

“I came in for lunch while working in the city and wasn’t disappointed.

The slice of pizza I got was good and the sub was great. The fries that came with the sub were top tier, probably the best fries of any pizza place I’ve been to.
I received excellent customer service. The staff were very friendly. The dining area was clean which is always refreshing to see.
The menu is pretty varied, there’s definitely something for everyone. My only regret is I wasn’t able to try everything on it in one sitting!

All in all, I give it 5 stars. Quick service, great food and I know for a fact I’ll be back to eat there next time I’m near the city.“

“I'm pretty sure that if I was on death row, I would choose your potato soup and rolls as my last meal 🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Found Dinamo quite by accident. A Richmond-centric publication mentioned Dinamo as an aside in relation to another restaurant that had since closed. When we discovered Dinamo was still open (later evening) we decided to give it a whirl. The whirling airplane prop in the front window indicated that, at the very least, things would be not boring. We were coming in towards the end of service and were nonetheless greeted with warmth. Firstly, the bread got me baking again. No small feat. They were out of the T-Bone, which is what both of us were aiming for, and recommended the chicken. I dont like chicken. This chicken was amazing. Im still thinking about the bread and the beans. And the chicken. The Tiramisu was just, simply, decadent. Service, ambiance, food, hospitality…. Cant wait to return Dinamo. We added the“

“We did a walk-in. Reservation recommended. Sat at the bar but it was worth it. Food was very good. Had to be selective based on my diet. Can't wait to go back with no limitations. Never had veal short ribs. But I have now and they were delicious. Service at the bar was top shelf.“

The food is full bodied and quite the experience each time I’ve been. The focaccia is so yummy!The menu is designed like a classic Italian menu with courses so you can enjoy multiple dishes. How often do you get to have fresh pasta followed by a second course?Service is impeccable giving you a fine dining experience.The owner, Angela, is very warm and you can tell she is very passionate about food. She is bringing a piece of Italy to Richmond so we can experience the food without crossing an ocean.I would 100% recommend this restaurant for a nice occasion especially if you are a foodie.Keep in mind that this is a new and growing business that will only thrive with the support of the community.I can tell there is a lot of love and thought put into creating the menu.

“THE BEST AND AUTHENTIC IN GUATEMALAN GASTRONOMY!! DELICIOUS FLAVOR!! AFTER I ATE; I WAS SO SATISFIED WITH THE PLACE FOR ITS FOOD. I THOUGHT LEAVING 50 DOLLARS NOT FOR TIP; IF NOT AS AN OFFERING SO THAT THE OWNER OF THAT PLACE CAN START REMODELING THE RESTAURANT AND MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL..... IF ANYONE DARE TO PUT A BOX FOR US TO DONATE AND THE RENOVATION CAN BE DONE... I SUPPORT EVERYTHING WELL“

“When I entered Mimmo’s I immediately could smell the sauce in the air and noticed a few dishes on other patrons plates.I settled on chicken wings which were cooked to absolute perfection. Can tell the chicken was not frozen and had extra care taken in its preparation. They were steaming hot and so juicy and delicious they didn’t even need sauce.I landed on the club sand and fries due to how incredible it looked. And from the butter fried bread, to the cold cut lunch meat that touched the griddle long enough to melt my cheese; every component was made with love and care, and this was just a sandwich.I will definitely be back and plan to try some of that beautiful saucy aroma that fills the air.Bravo Mimmo!!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Good food, good service and reasonable prices!“

“We had a pretty big party for the small building on New Year’s Eve, we have gone to big chain restaurants every year on New Year’s Eve for my sisters birthday and it was always terrible service. Everyone’s food would come out cold, they would make portions smaller cause a lot of us order the same, I want to definitely give you guys a HUGGGGE shoutout, everyone was HAPPY everyone’s food was perfect and hot and the server was awesome. She’s always there every time we go and she’s great. We really appreciate you guys making the space for our large group. And as ALWAYS THANK YALL FOR THE AMAZING FOOD! Definition of supporting local. We will always come back.“

“Normally I would support this place. But now I will say I'm very disappointed in this situation they have put in. Right now we are living in a hotel and I asked for two smaller pizzas boxes because it's easier to separate for three people. They were like we have to charge you extra for the boxes yet it's no different than getting your order to go I don't see them charging for that“

“We found Pastahouse after realizing traffic was pretty bad after the Richmond marathon expo at the raceway. This was a pre race meal so we were hoping for fresh and clean food. This place is a gem! Absolutely amazing! Chicken parm, eggplant parm and chicken Marsala were excellent! So fresh and good. Website multiple times that we wish we had a place like this back home. Highly recommend!“

“If you live in downtown Richmond Virginia , this is the only spot you should be ordering from. Extremely good people that care about the food they put out. Can’t recommend enough!“

“Was in Mechanicsville for a Cross Country meet. My daughter wanted pizza afterwards. So, not being from the area we went to Google for help. It led us to Primo Pizza, and we were glad it did. We ordered a couple pizzas, a sub and cheese sticks. Everything was delicious! The service was great, and we received our food promptly. We will definitely stop in the next time we are in the area.“

“The entire family has enjoyed great Italian food from Milton Pizza several times now. They are consistently solid performers; good quality food, fair prices, great customer service, and they we ALWAYS get the right order in the bag! <<<Very important to me.They have outdoor seating out front which is decent but we always pick up or get it delivered.Great food for the value!“

“Our Family Favorite since 1980's when my mother brought me my 1st sub. And my Grandson had his 1st slice of New York Style Pizza today“

“Kim & Charles and super great people and the food was delicious... i was passing through on my way to Pennsylvania and stopped for a pizza but couldn’t decide with the great menu so we went with half steak and cheese and half chicken barbecue. So delicious and definitely doesn’t skimp on toppings. Amazing prices too. If you are in the Richmond area go visit Kim and Charles you definitely won’t be sorry“

“I have been coming for years for our large youth events orders and the food has been great! The staff friendly and easy to work with. The manager Jermaine, has been there to assist with whatever is needed to make our menu a success.. Thank you all so much for keeping your consistency throughout the years!“
