Maldini's Ristorante Pizzeria

I usually get delivery and the delivery is usually prompt. I believe that the dishes are expensive. My favorite dish used to be chicken parmesan with spaghetti. What I've noticed is that the last two times I've gotten it the spaghetti sauce is always different. The texture is different the amount of meat is different and sometimes the taste is different. One thing that made me like it or originally was that there was a lot of spaghetti with the chicken. Now there's not very much at all. I just got a handful of spaghetti with a couple of very long slices of chicken breast that were breaded. Overall I decided it was mediocre but I was hungry. Oh by the way I paid $32 for my dinner.

Next time I'll just wait and go get chicken parmesan when I can go to Joe's Inn in Bon Air. The volume of spaghetti is huge which I love, and the spaghetti sauce is at least as good if not better.

This place has such an Italian family restaurant vibe. Reminds me of Boston and I love that it is across from the very Irish O'Toole's. Similarly unpretentious. The beef tortellini is good. The pizza is good.

Really amazing toasted meatball and toasted Italian sub sandwiches made on the perfect fat bread roll. Crunchy, crusty, chewy and just the right bread consistency to fight back against the ingredients (instead of turning into a gloppy mess before the last bite). This was the perfect light lunch.

We dined in last night and had an excellent experience! The specials were fantastic, the service was excellent, and the wine was unbelievable! Thank you, Marcello, for a excellent dinner!

I would put Maldini's pizza up against anything else in Richmond. It is truly fantastic and when you ask for extra cheese, you get extra cheese.

But, this isn't just a great pizza joint. It is a real authentic Italian restaurant that will not disappoint no matter what you choose.

Worth the drive over to Forest Hill. 100% recommend.

If you want real authentic italian come here. The calamari is so amazing. I love their rack of lamb,calzones, chicken marsala, all of their parmigiana… Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the shrimp pasta

It's a very good choice, as the food, atmosphere and value are quite favorable. Location (on Forest Hill Avenue, 125 feet from Westover Hills Blvd.). Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

CHEF delivered food on robotic waiter drone tray, described the food. It was exquisite in taste, presentation and genuine cultural description. Will go back. A gem for when I visit the McGuire VA clinic clinic.

Excellent Sicilian style food, great staff, good seating, and a robot assistant for the server that plays music. Absolutely worth checking out.

My wife, who lived in Italy for 5 years, took me there to share some of her experiences and memories. Having tasted some of the best food there I've ever had in my life, I have to say that Maldini's is the closest to taste that we have found in Richmond.

The owner is friendly and amiable. The servers are courteous and attentive.

The herbs are so fresh you'd think they picked them just before serving them.

We've been coming here for year or so now and have yet to be disappointed.

We ordered take out, and I think 3 stars is giving the benefit of the doubt. First, the portions were not big enough to support the prices. Secondly, I ordered a side of homemade pasta (upcharge) and it was not homemade. Finally, my husbands burger compared to what is shown on the online menu was honestly pitiful, the burger patty was so small and I don’t even know that it had the bacon on it (he ordered the buffalo burger), and the bun was stale. The fries tasted old, and even the pickle tasted old. The side of bread that came with my chicken Marsala was some store-bought croissant. Pretty disappointed, won’t be back.
