17 Best Italian Restaurants near Sandston

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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've been going to Carini's since they opened in '78. our family have continued to be loyal customers. The food is always excellent!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Amber was an outstanding waitress who made our dining experience truly enjoyable. She was very personable, attentive, and catered to every need with a smile. Her professionalism and warm personality made us feel valued, and we look forward to coming back because of her excellent service.“

“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“

“Great pizza, nice staff...unfortunately, and this isn't the establishment's fault, but I've been here several times and after experiencing some idiot "parent" with some brat kid screaming its head off and they did nothing about it, I always get it to go. Be warned.“

“This hidden gem is without question the best restaurant in Richmond. Perfect for date night or a fun meal with friends. The owners create a true family atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re eating in their grandmas kitchen. Can’t recommend highly enough!!“

“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“
