The white bean , squid , and arugula salad is fantastic, as well as the tuna dish. Great family-style Italian meal in Richmond! Wonderful staff and the service is terrific.

Antonello Loddo

My fav restaurant in the VCU area, and among the best in Richmond. Good italian food , lot of specials, and a jovial noisy atmosphere. Be prepared to wait.

Edgar Jones

Go in the door to the left! Yes it looks like an apt entrance, but that’s it!! Down to earth place. Fresh food , friendly in your families house style service. Huge portions , omg Huge!!!

Brian Attridge

Great food, & not too pricey . Service was sub-par though. Ordered shrimp pasta , & was brought rockfish (delicious). I obliged to eat it, & they still charged me for the fish ($9 more than my shrimp !).

Brittanie Height

Parmeggiano e burro is the best. Simple Italian favorite. Love the staff here...Hip attentive but not overbearing. Best Italian in Richmond.

Get the fennel appetizer . Eggplant pasta is fab. House wine is great too. Everything is good!

Ashley Joost

Best tiramisu ever. Order early before they run out.

The squid with arugula and beans, perfectly seasoned with garlic and olive oil , is in itself worth the drive.

Eric Williamson

Wow, great food. I always thought this place looked sketchy from the outside -- but definitely not the case. Best italian food in Richmond hands down.

Thomas Nelson

Italiano food galore, and everything polished with a fine ol' glass of wine . Don't get wasted too much though, or you'll mistake the Seigel Center as your apartment building :)

Whitney Wimmer

Wine , fried squid , Gorgonzola , mixed seafood and tiramisu ... plus a to-go box. You're welcome.

Johnny Hugel

If we could eat every meal here, we would. And we've tried.

Sara Lily

Pretty sure my standard of what I consider good food is different from everyone else; I've been spoiled with good food. This place was mediocre at best. Carbonara wasn't even close to authentic . Sad.

Tiffany Dotti

Food was amazing. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

Kat Marsh

Went when there wasn't a dinner crowd. The waitress was rude and snobby. No matter how good the food may have been, my money is best spent on good food AND service. We decided to leave.

Connie Nielsen

I love the rockfish my husband loves the hanger steak . Everything is awesome!

Alaina Jean

The shrimp fra diavlo is perfect for pasta lovers who want something spicy

Save room for a cup of Mamma Zu's Blend coffee now roasted exclusively by local roaster Blanchards Coffee Co.

Martha Kloko

The food here is amazing especially the cannoli . I had the carbonara and was not disappointed.

Ankit Siddhartha

Watch your serving size. One bowl of either dish entree is easily enough for two. With extra to spare

Tyler Tillage

Some of the best pasta in richmond

Matthew B

sit at the bar , drink copious amounts of wine , get seated, order the duck ...it's delicious

Erin Paasch

Fantastic calamari !

El Soberano

Justin Wiggins

Go to Edo's Squid and order the Gorgonzola Pasta . Reward yourself with a bottle of face wine .

John Pates

Definitely agree with the tip to get the canoli for dessert

Jeannie Costin

Veal picatta. Every time.

Robey Martin

It is all about the skate wing .

kristindownie

hearty italian and very intimate

Devon Cushman

Tuna steak , rare. A must-have.

Connie Nielsen

Ok. Everyone complains about the service but these guys are slammed. It's not like the places you go where the service sucks and they have no customers. The food always rocks!

Deanna Gordon

the duck breast is phenomenal.

Kitty L

Mussels , rockfish , Tiramisu . Thank me later.

Stella Wiki

Connie Nielsen

The rockfish ...rocks!

Melissa McKelvey

Brian Russell

Penne Karl

Jonah Holland

What's best? The squid of course! Calamari or white bean squid & arugugala!

Lauren Griggs

MAKE A RESERVATION!

Tiffany Burchard

Garlicky goodness. The Rock Fish is a must!

Emily B

Spaghetti with Crabmeat is ah MAZing!!!!!

Art Esposito

try the conch salad !

Matt Daimler

This place is apparently known for poor service. After waiting 45 minutes with a reservation , I'd have to agree. The kitchen has a heavy hand with salt, but the rockfish shined.

Alex Cherlin

Decent food..bad dining experience. Won't be coming back. Management takes good customers for granted..

David VanBlaricom

Leave room for a canoli , unbeleivable

Nick Dawson

Ask for Brads hot sauce !

SMG Design

Make a reservation or stand there and watch people eat until 930. Lame beer choices too but the food is good. Think mama zu's has a better menu. Place is loud as shit you have to yell communicate
