    The place!
    Lenny C.

    Was looking for some pasta for my son as we are in Richmond for a swim meet and staying nearby. This place is a F.I.N.D!!!! Do you hear me foodies? The owner Albino is in love with Italian food and with all the food delights that only Italian food can deliver. This place is a lesson in authenticity! If you are tired of muted, Americanized Italian food and long for the vibrant, bold flavors of a true Italian taste, this spectacular local Richmond gem is your answer. From the moment you cross the threshold, the intoxicating aroma of simmering garlic, fresh basil, and fresh homemade bread instantly transports your senses to the heart of Italy. Super friendly people and also loads of locals.. The service is incredibly warm and attentive, completely mirroring the soul-warming nature of the food... plenty of free parking. If I could give them 100 stars, I would!

    The best pizza and the best service. Albino (pronounced Ul-been-oh) is the owner and has done an amazing job with the decor and the specials. Lunch specials every day and a great pizza special on Wednesday's. They also have a loyalty punch card program to earn free food. Best pizza in richmond!

    My cousin introduced me to this place yesterday and I truly enjoyed It…read more Since it's a pizzeria, of course we had pizza! We had "The New Yorker" and "The Wire". Both were very delicious. The New Yorker was a cheese pizza while The Wire was a Crab Pizza with pesto sauce. I didn't get a picture but the cheese pull was insane on both! The drinks were good as well. I had the "Pornstar Martini" while my cousin had the "Velvet Notes" I love how the restaurant has 3 different parts. The right side was for the conservatives, the left was for the not so conservatives and the basement was where the party and hookah was at. The only downside of this place, was the service. It was sooo slow! Although, our bartender "Devin" made some amazing drinks!

    This is our second time at The Black Olive. In my first review I would not have returned. It was a…read moreclose friend of mine birthday celebration. Upon entering we were greeted and the host walked us down to the lower level. We had six tables reserved. The bartender came over immediately and took our drink orders and small plate orders. We didn't want any hookah but it was offered. We later ordered a pizza as well later on. Our food was better than expected. The prawns were flavorful, the meatballs weren't warm enough but had some spice to it and were larger than expected. The Caesar salad had kale and red onion in it which was different. We enjoyed the food and the vibe on the lower level was better. The pizza could use more sauce and the cheese had a nice pull to it. The meat on the pizza didn't taste frozen at all. We had to ask for refills a few times, but the server did a good job considering she had at least 20 people to serve.Overall, better this time around.
