Mmmm, I'd order it again and again!! The pancetta was delicious! My friends ordered angel hair with meat balls and sausage with marinara sauce & a bolognese pasta. But let's talk about the rolls! They are complementary and oh my, so soft on the inside and crisp on the outside! Heavenly! Served with seasoned olive oil and butter!! I love the booths and the welcoming "pearl" at the hostess table... a nice touch. Our server was somewhat new, I think his name was David, and he was a bit slow and lackadaisical. He was still pleasant and we tipped him well, but if I went back I would t want to sit in his section. No offense... but towards the end of the meal, we let him know we were in a hurry for an important engagement, and the check was slow coming. He did pack up our leftovers very well! We would definitely return here as the food and prices are superb!

First time visiiting this location since it opened. Had opportunity to meet the owner which made…read moreour dinner even more enjoyable. Tony (the owner) comes from Sicily where many wonderful Italian dishes originate. Although we didn't have anything real exotic, the dishes my wife and I ordered were quite tasty and very generous as to portion. The meals came out hot and timely, which can help make or break a restauran's success! Price wise none of the items we noted on the menu were over priced based upon our ongoing dining experience in other good Italian restaurants in the area. Our server was quite pleasant and made sure we had everything we needed to complete our dining experience. Although this is a "neighborhood" restaurant, I feel that with a little more marketing & publicity this location should do quite well. We'll definitely be going back.

We love Azzurro. We dine there a few times a year and have several favorite dishes. The low rating…read moreis purely for the takeout situation. I cannot believe Azzurro has the audacity to charge a 20% service tip to a takeout order as a standard practice. During COVID, I get it, but this is 5-6 years removed. Thank you to the kitchen for cooking and packing up the food, but no one set me a place setting at a table, no one offered or poured me a drink, no one checked on me, served me a dish, or cleaned it up. I will never order takeout from Azzurro again. On top of the 20% audacity, they have the balls to put a tip line on the receipt in addition. I may even think twice about my in house tip.

I LOVED. Finding a place with reliable and delicious (and…read moregenerous portions) for takeout is no easy feat! Their large meat lovers pizza was PHENOMENAL. And HUGE. The slices were huge and there were eight of them. The Greek salad portions were also huge and every single piece of vegetable or lettuce in the salad was fresh as can be. No soggy lettuce! The dressing was also great. The wings were well cooked and not overdone and the BBQ sauce with it was great. The meatball appetizer also did not disappoint and had so much extra sauce I added it to some precooked homemade spaghetti and had another whole meal from just that. I give this place a solid 5/5 and we will definitely be back. For the price of chick-fil-a I was able to feed my husband, two kids, father in law, and myself.

Still about a three star experience although it has a potential to be a 4.5/5. The hostess…read moresituation is completely disheveled, as it was the last two times I came here, so they haven't worked that out yet. The sign says "wait to be seated", but there's no one attending the hostess station. This is a common, recurring problem here. After a solid five minutes of standing there with no greeting from anyone, a waiter sees us and comes over to ask how many. We tell him we have a reservation for three people, give him our name, and say he says OK I'll be right back. Let me see what I have set up. Off he goes, and we never see him again. So we stand there another 4 to 5 minutes, and a second waiter comes by to tend to us. We give our name and reservation details. He goes off, also never to be seen again. We wait another 3 to 4 minutes and a woman who looks like the hostess comes around and so for the third time we give our name reservation time and tell her that we requested a booth. She takes a long time, stacking menus and putting the paper part back into the menu sleeves, and then finally gets three menus together and takes us to a table. So then we have to say (again), no we requested a booth, and so then we have to stand by a dirty booth and wait for them to clean it. So the whole beginning of the dinner process is already a mess and that sets a terrible and frustrating tone for the evening. First experiences inside a restaurant are so important and they just don't recognize that here On to dinner. Our waitress comes over and she's lovely,friendly, and seems on top of things at the beginning . We order a couple of drinks and the meatball appetizer while we peruse the menu. A long time goes by and we get our drinks. And then another long time goes by with no appetizer appearing at the table and she comes to take our dinner order. (She had not yet read us the specials so we had to ask for what they were because we heard the waiter behind us giving the specials, but couldn't hear well enough to catch them-I'm pretty sure our waitress was gonna skip over reciting the specials-) . After again, another long amount of time our salads come out, but still no appetizer. So I mention..." we have a meatball appetizer coming right?". She says yes and heads off. (The appetizer should come before the salad, especially when it was ordered way before). So halfway through the salads, the meatballs come. Now I love a meatball and all varieties of a meatballs. These were super firm (like... it took a hard push with a knife to cut into them ), they were barely lukewarm, with a barely melted slab of mozzarella on top. Had they been hot, with the cheese nice and bubbly, they would have been pretty good despite being overly firm and super salty (and I love salt) Entrees came piping hot and were very good (mezze rigatoni and lobster ravioli, and a kids spaghetti) Garlic knots were delicious. Wine pour was great. I think the kitchen, not the waitress, was super slow which impacted our experience. And for a place that stays this busy, they need to hire a hostess to attend the front desk, so that guests are promptly welcomed and seating is managed efficiently. Menu is extensive and the place has great potential.

Came in on a weeknight for dinner with colleagues. Service was excellent. The décor and venue is…read morevery nice, it reminded me of an old-school, neighborhood Italian joint and then I found out they've been here over 40 years... sure did look like it. But it's kept up beautifully! Their menu is HUGE! Loaded with all sorts of amazing Italian food! I had such a tough time deciding what to get, so I was able to try a couple of things by making one entrée an appetizer. We started with their Money Bags and it was really good! Nicely made and creative! The flavors of everything in the "pouch" was incredibly matched with the flavors and texture of the sauce - so good! Next up was their Chicken Diavola and it was nicely made and huge! Lots of food on that plate!! It came with shrimp on top, those were fresh and huge shrimp. It was served over pasta with fresh spinach and all the flavors came together nicely. Save room for dessert, they have a nice selection of them! I got their lemon mascarpone cake - It was great! Overall, very nice dinner... I'll definitely return!

And I'm not just talking one or to paintings but the WHOLE place was filled all accordingly. Although, I do have to mention that the strip mall area that the restaurant is located in could be called a bit... sketchy. The waiter that served us was extremely friendly and quick. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi. It was very delicious. Unfortunately it was the first I've tried of it so I can't compare it to anything else. The pizza that my nephew ordered was apparently good. He said that it "hit the spot" Overall this place is a good Italian restaurant to eat at in Richmond.
