H CAugust 12, 2014The 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 LoddoJune 29, 2015My 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 JonesMay 12, 2019Go 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 AttridgeDecember 3, 2014Great 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 HeightMay 2, 2014Parmeggiano 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!
- Online ProducerApril 4, 2014The squid with arugula and beans, perfectly seasoned with garlic and olive oil, is in itself worth the drive.
Eric WilliamsonOctober 18, 2010Wow, 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 NelsonMarch 3, 2012Italiano 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 WimmerDecember 8, 2012Wine, fried squid, Gorgonzola, mixed seafood and tiramisu... plus a to-go box. You're welcome.
If we could eat every meal here, we would. And we've tried.
Sara LilyMay 4, 2013Pretty 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.
Kat MarshFebruary 16, 2014Went 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 NielsenOctober 21, 2011I love the rockfish my husband loves the hanger steak. Everything is awesome!
Save room for a cup of Mamma Zu's Blend coffee now roasted exclusively by local roaster Blanchards Coffee Co.
Martha KlokoMarch 24, 2011The food here is amazing especially the cannoli. I had the carbonara and was not disappointed.
Ankit SiddharthaNovember 2, 2011Watch your serving size. One bowl of either dish entree is easily enough for two. With extra to spare
Matthew BJuly 20, 2010sit at the bar, drink copious amounts of wine, get seated, order the duck...it's delicious
Justin WigginsDecember 1, 2009Go to Edo's Squid and order the Gorgonzola Pasta. Reward yourself with a bottle of face wine.
- Connie NielsenFebruary 11, 2012Ok. 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!
What's best? The squid of course! Calamari or white bean squid & arugugala!
Matt DaimlerDecember 30, 2010This 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 CherlinJune 3, 2012Decent food..bad dining experience. Won't be coming back. Management takes good customers for granted..
SMG DesignJanuary 31, 2016Make 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
