“Great pizza will come back“

“Without a doubt the best Italian food I have ever had in my life. The steak sub is to die for and the pizzas were totally amazing Do yourself a favour and have dinner here“

“We had a great time and had delicious food! Our waiter Trey was amazing!“

“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.“

“My partner and I went to Lost Letter last night for a celebration dinner. We tried a cocktail each and shared a bottle of wine. We ordered a bunch of appetizers/food to share and everything was delicious. The service was absolutely top notch. They boxed up my leftovers and checked them in the back so we could enjoy our dessert without them on the table and brought them back out when we were finished. I noticed that every little detail was considered, even with how they treated the tables that were around us. We both agreed this was the best dining experience that we have had in Richmond.“

“Just left from their. Got the greek meatball appetizer (big enough for a meal) and a small greek salad and a bloody mary. ALL of it was terrific. My MIL got a crab sandwich and it was really good as well. The onion rings were the best I ever had.“

“Intimate and sleek, Botanya makes the perfect date night location. The staff is efficient and personable without ever overstepping, dishes are made to perfection (their signature gnocchi a la Sinatra is a spicy twist on an old standby), and their mixology is spot-on. Well served by its location two blocks east of the massive free parking deck at the west end of Carytown, Botanya is the Italian restaurant that Richmond has needed--and lacked--for far too long.“

“First time at Edo’s last night. There was a couple walking up the stairs in front of us as we went in, and when we got to the door, a waitress said “I need that cup” and yanked it out of the woman’s hand as she walked off. She was the same waitress that sat us, but not who took our order. The waitress who took our order was extremely rude almost the entire time. A couple of times she brought food out and put it on our table AS she’s walking by. I stopped her once, to ask if we could have our bread warmed as it was cold. She barely stopped as she said “no.” And continued walking. The waitresses were rude and made me feel so uncomfortable with their terrible attitudes. Atmosphere is a little cramped but it was fine. The food was AMAZING though. It was really hot, and the pasta portions were GENEROUS.“

“Lemoncello on point as well pasta!“

“I do want to give a shout out to the manager Erin she was excellent very customer friendly and our lunch was excellent“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Truly enjoyable meal in a great neighborhood restaurant. Everything was delicious and the service excellent. We enjoyed a lovely cauliflower appetizer, a beautiful, simple fresh salad. Three of our party enjoyed the rock fish. The 4th had an amazing sea food stew with spaghetti. Clearly a favorite of the locals. You won’t be disappointed. (Best to make a reservation.) A little noisy…..“

“Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in RVA. Go tonight, what are you waiting for?!“

“Nice place, friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food, big portions, good size menu (variety), clean and organized.“

“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“

“Great service-excellent Italian food“

“Frank recommended the veal chop special on Friday night. We both got it. The sauce was so delicious with chunks of portobello mushrooms. AMAZING flavor!! I brought home half of mine to savor again. Can’t wait!“

“Oysters were great ! Our server was nice but was not very attentive. Loved the beans. The “bus boy?” Kept water glasses filled but his attire didn’t seem appropriate for the restaurant. All in all I would return“

“Everything I have ever eaten there in 6 years has been great. The best pasta, chicken, pizza, salads, literally everything has been delicious.“

“Had a lovely dinner with my niece before she heads off to college. My food (la principessa chicken and shrimp) was delicious, as was the broccoli. And the serving was generous-- enough to take half home for another night. My niece always gets, and enjoys, the Alfredo. Having lived in Italy for many years, would I say this was authentic Italian? Mine was close. Hers, not so much. I would have to return to try other options. The service was ok, nothing to write home about. I would have liked if the hostess had spoken to me in Italian, as I spoke to her. Sigh. The atmosphere, meh. Dark. Nothing particularly Italian about it. Wish they had played music in Italian like Andrea Bocelli. I will go back.“

“beyond the reasonable doubt the best picture in Richmond and the closest you will get to New York a taste of all of its own I highly recommend if you are a pizza lover give this a try you will go nowhere else after“

“There phenomenal always great service fresh food always are go to“

“mi pueblito pizzeria and restaurant??? more like TORTA DE CARNE ASADA RESTAURANT!! this place should be known for their torta’s, not pizza. look. my dad is from the caribbean. i’ve never heard of a torta in my life until i came to this place.

my girlfriend’s family have been coming here for years (she’s salvadoran) and she said the sopa de pollo tastes like home. everytime she eats here food she makes a “mmm” sound so it means she happy.

as you can see below we had a feast (wasn’t the first time) we got empanadas, queso de pupusas (wasn’t as good as her moms), horchata, torte de carne asada, and even sopa de pollo

the food was so good, the atmosphere is cool, the workers speak espanol, and the prices are reasonable. come here if you want a full belly

this made me like hispanic culture 10x more. im officially salvadoran. mi gustas el salvadorena comida.“

Parking: Service and food are great every time.

“very good food and wonderful service.“

“My husband and I came in from out of town, and decided we wanted pizza for dinner. We had our dogs with us, so we would need someplace that was dog friendly. It was a little chilly outside, but we dined on the patio. We ordered a medium “works” pizza and a small fry. Portions were huge! Service was fantastic and food was delicious.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Always a friendly and delightful dining experience. The food has always been consistently good. Perfect for the whole family and parties. They serve large portions so you are sure to leave satisfied. They also have an excellent drink and wine selection. Also fairly affordable.“

“Sprezza is a wonderful new restaurant finding its footing in Richmond. It brings authentic Italian cuisine that is unique from any other Italian restaurant in our city. 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. Delicious! 10/10. I always leave with a happy stomach.“

“Good food. Very accommodating to large groups 👍🏻“

“I took a friend there to celebrate an early birthday. The food and service were top-notch. We were seated in a relatively quiet corner until the restaurant filled up and then it got a bit, noisy with a table of eight next to us, but we left soon after, so overall conversation was no problem.“

“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“

“Great sandwiches. Our first time here but we will be back.“

“Loved it!! Had not been there in years-will definitely be back!!“

“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!“

“ordered the steak and cheese to go,and it was a pretty good sandwich.My only observation is that they need to update the prices on the online menu.My actual price was about 30% more!“

“La pizza es completamente deliciosa, el servicio , las instalaciones 🙌🙌“

“Service was amazing!!! The food was fresh and ready to quickly. Definitely check them out!!!“

“This was always my got to pizza when I was a student at VCU. It’s the perfect New York style pizza. Sometime I ask for it well done and it hits very similar to a New Haven pizza. I was obsessed with this place and anytime I can I always recommend it. I was once at the restaurant when the owner was there and he showed me how they made their dough, grinder their own cheese and created their own mix of cheeses. He wouldn’t give me too much info on the mix but what ever they are doing it’s working. The only thing I will say is that the pizza is very dependent on who is making it and how busy they are. I usually plan to order my pizza mid week. I also don’t ever get delivery.“
