“Apart form the usual pizza place things (pasta Philly's wings) they also have Honduran food. the beef plate i got tasted good and was a good deal for 13 bucks. The garlic cheese bread was kinda small for the price and not enough garlic butter. The philly was small but tasted like a usual Philly.“

“Food, service, ambiance....it's all 10/10. Everything I have had off the menu is incredible. The service here is unlike any service I have had in Richmond...they are attentive without being overbearing, incredibly knowledgeable about the wine and food, and so professional. I cannot recommend this place enough. Sit outside if you can, easily the best patio in Richmond.“

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

“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“

“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!!!“

“All fresh ingredients and friendly staff!“

“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!“

“Delicious food. Huge entree/pasta portions so would recommend family style - everyone get something different and share. Can't go wrong with any of the appetizers, also fairly sharable. Only thing is the room is packed to the brim with seating so you have squeeze through to get to your table, and it's incredibly loud.“

“Great food and service but not much wine choices“

“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!“

“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.“

“We came here for our anniversary dinner before a concert in Richmond. The food was delicious and the service was perfect! We’ll be back if we come back to Richmond!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“My latest Olive Garden visit was a delightful reminder of why it's a family favorite. The carbonara? It was absolutely perfect, just as I remembered – rich, creamy, and utterly satisfying. It's consistently good, a testament to their recipe.
The Alfredo was another highlight. It arrived piping hot, which is always appreciated, and the creamy sauce was simply delicious, coating the breadsticks beautifully.
And, of course, the breadsticks! They were super fresh, warm, and soft. Honestly, they're always a treat, but this time, they seemed exceptionally good. A perfect accompaniment to both the carbonara and the Alfredo. Overall, a classic Olive Garden experience executed perfectly.“

“Excellent food and service!“

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“

Kid-friendliness: Kids love the friendly staff. Portions are just right.

Wheelchair accessibility: Tables are spaced wide apart for maneuvering.“

“very good food and wonderful service.“

“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!!“

“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“

“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!“

“Have eaten here many times and I'm always very happy with the food, the service and the price! The biggest problem is deciding which of the wonderful dishes to order! On my last trip I had one of their specials: Tilapia Piccata and it was absolutely wonderful - nice and lemony! One bad thing: I've never tried any of their desserts - I'm always too full.“

“Decided to get takeout from here while petsitting for my folks in Ashland. While the Fettucine Alfredo was quite good, the Calamari could have used a little more flavor. I loaded the Pizza with Spinach, Jalapenos, Tomatoes, and Ricotta Cheese. Really good but too wet. Maybe they used frozen spinach and it thawed that way. It would've been better without all the extra moisture. Still- I highly recommend checking it out for reasonably priced Fettucine!“

“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.“

“Amazing vibes, food and service! Will definitely come back when I’m in town!“

“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“

“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.“

“We had our 20 year alumni event for about 24 people with dinner, drinks, and dessert. Melissa was super responsive to questions and alterations for the event and the food and service were awesome when we attended. The 2 servers did an excellent job.“

“Stopped here for a quick bite! We had just left the airport and aren’t from this area. I found this place online and we gave it a try. The house dressing was so yummy, the pizza crust was perfect and toppings were very flavorful. The sauce was rich in flavor, also. They have a take out window/section and a dine in area with about 6 or 7 tables. Nice atmosphere, good food, and Milton came out to chat with us. He and his Son provided excellent customer service!“

“Crab cakes & angel hair! YUM! Salads are a meal all by themselves. Great food & great service! Thank you!“

“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“

“We were traveling through the area and got hungry after a round of golf. Finding good is a crapshoot but Maria’s is a definite winner. We originally stopped in for pizza, how bad could someone screw up pizza.
The menu was so interesting we went for a dinner, I had the Chicken Cacciatore and my wife had the Chicken Piccata cooked to her dietary needs. Both were delicious.
Definitely a good stop, the service was also very good.“

“Meatball pizza! We also got the mozzarella balls. Real mozzarella, folks! 🤤🤤🤤“

“Not my first time in that place.
Tried few dishes there. The best sub for me was the works sub. The flavors were great, the bread was fresh, and it was well seasoned. Also got fries and a drink for 3.69, the fries were nice and crispy.
Also tried their meatball pizza with pepperoni. Omg, I can’t describe how tasty that was. Both the dough and the sauce were made fresh and tasted great.

On top of that, the prices were amazing for the amount and quality of food I got!
Definitely going there again and again“

“Dougie was not a happy associate. he was complaining as I entered the store about other being late and started tr ed he had just got the order and slammed the food into the box bit never gave me the doordash order for pick up. Young lady at the register apologized that I had to encounter such a disgruntled employee who stormed out the back door after pushing her to the side to retrieve his belongings at the register... if unhappy about your job then do t bring it into the establishment“

“Absolutely delicious. Clean restaurant, super friendly staff and home made everything. The price can’t be beat!“
