Tremendous experience overall. Bread service was sort of needed as the restaurant was quite busy but was enjoyed quite a bit. Both the ravioli and the lamb ragú were incredible. Wine and drinks were great and our server was more than willing to offer suggestions or pairings with our meal.
I enjoyed the environment quite a bit inside as it definitely harkened back to a time in the past. I would absolutely return here during my next trip to Richmond.

We moved away but just made a reservation and took friends here when visiting. Our server was delightful and accommodating. The appetizers and mains were all so fresh and delicious. Buffala mozzarella is creamy and delicious. All the pasta dishes were so fresh and portions were huge. The freshest bread. All just perfect, just like we remembered it. Our guests loved it as well. So glad we came.

How do you enjoy a hot pasta dish while eating al fresco in the summer? YOU DON’T!
The outdoor dining shouldn’t have NEVER been an option on such a hot day- simply put: don’t open up tables when the outside temps at 6pm are hovering close to 100°. Especially for a larger group, when multiple plates were on the table and the flies just hovering around our food - something they are likely aware of given the presence of the fly fans on the tables.
Given the option or advanced notice that we’d be sitting outside in +95° heat, we would have taken our business elsewhere because our older parents were with us.
I had an industrial fan at full speed right by my chair, which only made the experience worse- hair flying everywhere, loud fan noise and hot air being blown in our direction. We ate our food as fast as we could - lesson learned (we should have never stayed).
I sent an email to the restaurant, but ZERO reaction or response from them for both people in our party who reached out.

I absolutely love Gersi! This family owned establishment is perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. The food is impeccable and the staff makes you feel like you’re at home. The inside is quaint and cozy and bursting with life! this past time I got the mussels and tiramisu! Both absolutely delicious! It’s a must go to in richmond!

Went here with a large family group and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The food is authentic Italian. It was all delicious. Some of the pasta is homemade . service was excellent . prices are very reasonable. It's a little loud inside, so if you like a more quiet spot consider one of the outdoor table.Will visit here next time I am in Richmond. Thank you Gersi for a wonderful meal.

The entrees do take about 45 mins to 1 hr to come out, but are absolutely delicious.
4 Star because there is major dust around the restaurant, and in a particular spot on the ceiling above the 2 person seating next to the door, you can see a massive clog of it and can’t help but imagine that it is falling into your food. It was very unappealing to look at and makes you ask yourself who is in charge of keeping the place clean. It is very dark as well, which I don’t mind, but if anyone thinks that hides grime or dust, they are mistaken.
Great all around. A tiny bit expensive for what it is but I was expecting that before hand. Still, 5 stars. The food and service were great. Servers were busy but very efficient - didn’t feel rushed to leave. The tables are a little small and you’re going to be real close to the people beside you. That is why atmosphere gets a 4.

Gersi is at the top of the pack if you are looking for a fantastic Italian restaurant in Richmond. Cozy and crowded. Great vibe. There are a few outdoor tables. Definitely make a reservation. The service was excellent and very responsive - extra shout out to Dan, behind the bar, who took care of our every need. The wine list is modest, and perhaps at the top end of pricing, but they do have a selection of some nice Italian reds. Every dish was delicious - and the portions are generous. Their burrata was perfect consistency with great taste. Don’t miss trying some of their homemade pasta dishes - the rigatoni was amazing, and the calamari with black fettucini out of this world!! We will definitely be back! Save us seats at the bar, Dan!

Gersi is hands-down my favorite Italian restaurant in Richmond. The food is always amazing! If you go, do yourself a favor and get the chicken Parmesan, but here’s the pro tip: upgrade the pasta to the spaghetti al Limone. Trust me, the combo is out of this world, a server recommended it to us before and we always get it. Cozy atmosphere, definitely need reservations. It is tight in there, like a NYC restaurant (like you would see in a movie), great service, and consistently delicious dishes. A must-visit!
