John and Lolita were so nice and helpful. They cut the pasta right when you buy it so definitely fresh! The garlic infused papperadelle was delicious! We also tried some libations at their distillery in the same shop and had their fresh warm bread with smoked salmon dip while sitting at the bar. John was super helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed everything!

I heard they used to serve hot food but never got around to going there when they did. The frozen pastas and the sauce I tried are not bad, but the salmon they smoke outside a couple of times a week and sell daily is FANTASTIC. They have a bar inside too, which is cool.

I practically never post reviews but I had to for bombolini! They make their fresh pasta and sauces in house and you can really taste the difference. I bought the frozen Sausage/mushroom Rose meal and it’s one of the best pastas dishes I’ve ever had. I will definitely be back to take advantage of their extended holiday hours! Not to mention the staff is so friendly and passionate about what they do! Definitely would recommend to anyone that’s a fan of pasta or good food in general.
Vegetarian options: Most of the sauces are vegetarian and pasta typically is vegetarian except for meat ravioli
The review is solely for the smoked salmon, which is truly outstanding. Not sure what others do but I shredded mine and put it on a bagel with cream cheese. I'm sure it would be equally good mixed into scrambled eggs.

They no longer offer dine in. They don't cook any food, except for bread and smoked salmon. They prepare frozen meals that can be microwaved or baked. They also make fresh pastas that one can take home to cook. They have sauces, wines, gift baskets,kitchen towels with little sayings and so much more.
Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible with parking in the lot.

One of my favorite spots in all of Richmond, with fresh pasta made right behind the counter. Yes, it is known they have the best smoked salmon in town (and reasonably priced). But their to-go meals, especially the microwave friendly ones, are also fantastic values (~$8).
Their fresh and dried pastas are outstanding and come in shapes and flavor profiles you can't find elsewhere (the black pepper linguine is so simple yet insanely good; they have gluten free options, as well). Their jarred sauces are as tasty as any I've had; I prefer them to Rao's, for example, and they're $1-2 less.
This isn't a comprehensive Italian market where you can find every imported good known to humankind, it's a curated selection with the majority made in house, which is rare these days.
The family who runs it and the folks who work there are wonderful, as well. It's always a pleasure visiting Bombolini and I'm grateful to live within walking distance.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta is available!
Go get a fabulous piece of their smoked salmon. It’s literally the most amazing fresh smoked salmon I’ve ever had! And the pasta is fabulous!

We love the Vegetarian Lasagna and Eggplant frozen meals! They are already cooked for you. Just heat in the oven, and voila, dinner is served! Delicious, and you didn't have to cook! Thank you Bombolini :-
