“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“

“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!“

“Amazing pizza and calzone. 360 was recommended by a local resident as we were driving through Mechanicsville, and we're so glad we stopped.“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The food was delicious but the waitstaff was lacking. She never checked on us and another person had to deliver our food and our bill.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“My latest Olive Garden visit was a delightful reminder of why it's a family favorite. The carbonara? It was absolutely perfect, just as I remembered – rich, creamy, and utterly satisfying. It's consistently good, a testament to their recipe.
The Alfredo was another highlight. It arrived piping hot, which is always appreciated, and the creamy sauce was simply delicious, coating the breadsticks beautifully.
And, of course, the breadsticks! They were super fresh, warm, and soft. Honestly, they're always a treat, but this time, they seemed exceptionally good. A perfect accompaniment to both the carbonara and the Alfredo. Overall, a classic Olive Garden experience executed perfectly.“

“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“

“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.“

“I'm pretty sure that if I was on death row, I would choose your potato soup and rolls as my last meal 🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“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“

“We did a walk-in. Reservation recommended. Sat at the bar but it was worth it. Food was very good. Had to be selective based on my diet. Can't wait to go back with no limitations. Never had veal short ribs. But I have now and they were delicious. Service at the bar was top shelf.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

“I really enjoy eating here, the people and food are great! We eat in there a few times a month. The "secret" menu as I called it before is now expanded and on every table. I love it, go get cultured and eat some amazing un-Americanized Spanish foods that will fill you up, not leave your stomach hurting when you leave, and leave you wanting to try everything on the menu! The Baleadas are great go get them!“

“very good food and wonderful service.“

“When I entered Mimmo’s I immediately could smell the sauce in the air and noticed a few dishes on other patrons plates.I settled on chicken wings which were cooked to absolute perfection. Can tell the chicken was not frozen and had extra care taken in its preparation. They were steaming hot and so juicy and delicious they didn’t even need sauce.I landed on the club sand and fries due to how incredible it looked. And from the butter fried bread, to the cold cut lunch meat that touched the griddle long enough to melt my cheese; every component was made with love and care, and this was just a sandwich.I will definitely be back and plan to try some of that beautiful saucy aroma that fills the air.Bravo Mimmo!!“

“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!“

“Good food, good service and reasonable prices!“

“We had a pretty big party for the small building on New Year’s Eve, we have gone to big chain restaurants every year on New Year’s Eve for my sisters birthday and it was always terrible service. Everyone’s food would come out cold, they would make portions smaller cause a lot of us order the same, I want to definitely give you guys a HUGGGGE shoutout, everyone was HAPPY everyone’s food was perfect and hot and the server was awesome. She’s always there every time we go and she’s great. We really appreciate you guys making the space for our large group. And as ALWAYS THANK YALL FOR THE AMAZING FOOD! Definition of supporting local. We will always come back.“

“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“

“Have eaten here many times and I'm always very happy with the food, the service and the price! The biggest problem is deciding which of the wonderful dishes to order! On my last trip I had one of their specials: Tilapia Piccata and it was absolutely wonderful - nice and lemony! One bad thing: I've never tried any of their desserts - I'm always too full.“

“Was in Mechanicsville for a Cross Country meet. My daughter wanted pizza afterwards. So, not being from the area we went to Google for help. It led us to Primo Pizza, and we were glad it did. We ordered a couple pizzas, a sub and cheese sticks. Everything was delicious! The service was great, and we received our food promptly. We will definitely stop in the next time we are in the area.“

“The entire family has enjoyed great Italian food from Milton Pizza several times now. They are consistently solid performers; good quality food, fair prices, great customer service, and they we ALWAYS get the right order in the bag! <<<Very important to me.They have outdoor seating out front which is decent but we always pick up or get it delivered.Great food for the value!“

“Our Family Favorite since 1980's when my mother brought me my 1st sub. And my Grandson had his 1st slice of New York Style Pizza today“

“We had our 20 year alumni event for about 24 people with dinner, drinks, and dessert. Melissa was super responsive to questions and alterations for the event and the food and service were awesome when we attended. The 2 servers did an excellent job.“

The manager Jermaine, has been there to assist with whatever is needed to make our menu a success.. Thank you all so much for keeping your consistency throughout the years!“

“lo rápido y calidad y buen servicio y lo sabroso“

“I came in around two thirty pm and was sat immediately by a charming woman with a lovely smile. Food came out within minutes of ordering and the baked pasta was some of the best I have ever had. Overall a great experience and would come again.“
