Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Sidney T.

Genova's is a classic staple of Bon Air. The pizzas are huge portions, and have a wide selection on the menu. They generally have great service and fast times for pick up.

I stopped in for a late lunch on a rainy Sunday. I had a hankering for an Italian sub, so I selected the Italian Supreme, with lettuce, tomato, onion, oil and vinegar. It came out promptly, in a warmed roll. It was really yummy, totally hit the spot and was reasonably priced. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

Garlic Knots

Starting off, many might not know this but this place doesn't have the best parking lot. It only contains one handicap lot, and two regular lots. Going off of aesthetics once more, the exterior of the building appears much older than its interior, with a majority of the equipment and furniture looking recent/new. Also, the service here is acceptable, with the servers being on point, and the food wait-time being low. Exploring the various food options, the menus are offered up front in a stack. Glancing over the menu will offer you options like calzones, pizzas, appetizers, pasta, and more. For those who don't want a hot meal, but instead want a cool or ready-to-eat meal there is a refrigerated zone that offers premade plant-based salads, or pasta-based salads. Either way, in all honesty, the food tastes above average and the wait time for your food is pretty acceptable, compared to other larger brands. In conclusion, Genovas Pizza Station is an all-round specs Italian restaurant that provides great options for all kind of Italian lovers, and great service.

Showing how big the Meat Lover Stromboli is
Sherrie K.

I've been craving a meat lovers stromboli so I ordered takeout. When the order arrived I was pleasantly surprised by how big it was and held up well during the delivery. One thing I would say I'd change is how it was packed. It was left slightly open due to having cups on sauce in the pizza box. It would have been better if the sauce came in a paper bag and the pizza box was taped shut. Now back to the positive... the stromboli was delicious. I especially loved the cheese and there was decent about of meat. The sauce was also very tasty. I will definitely return to try other options and of course get another stromboli. I

Chicken parmigiana
May-May R.

First time trying this newly opened pizza/Italian space and I will say that all the employees and staff are super nice and helpful. There is seating inside and they also have a nice patio - you order at the counter and if dining inside, they'll bring your order to the table. The food seemed to be hit or miss and I regret not getting pizza - they were really busy with take-out orders and every single one of them was pizza or subs. I had the spaghetti with meat sauce and the sauce was really sweet and some spice was really overpowering for me. My friend had the chicken parmigiana and said it was okay - not the best but edible. My husband had the eggplant parmigiana sub and said it was so delicious! We'll definitely be back to try the pizza - it looked so good and definitely seemed to be the most popular choice.

Large cheese pizza
Krystal K.

We ordered a large cheese pizza and a large white pizza without the veggies on top. Both were pretty good! The crust was a bit softer than I would've liked, but had a nice texture overall. Wasn't chewy. The red sauce on the cheese pie was very sweet and tasted like they hadn't cooked the sugars off. The white pizza was good too. Not overly salty. The pizzas were ready fast and they travelled well. I'd like to try some of their other menu items.

The Small Deluxe pie in the box.

Genovas was my favorite pizza parlor in Richmond but tonight I'm disgusted! I ordered a small Deluxe pizza with very light peppers no mushrooms. I got a pie with extra peppers I told them and They said it would be fixed but what I got next because the place was crowded was a smaller pie with hardly any sausage or onions and when I told them the pie looked smaller I was told that was a small. Now, I've been coming to Genovas since they open and got all three sizes of pies and regular 2 slice pizza comb. So you can't tell me this was a small pie that I paid $15.00 for. The slice doesn't even fill up a plateHere's a picture of the pie, and here's a picture of a slice from that pie on a full size plate.

Lasagna
Ronnie J.

The pizza here is decent and the Alfredo is good, so they get a couple stars from us. However, wow that was the most off red sauce we've ever had. They lose two stars for me because the sauce for the spaghetti, lasagna, and rigatoni was just odd. It's a very different red sauce with a sour flavor that tastes like it's got some kind of cream in it. Definitely not the tomato based sauce we're used to; the kids flat out wouldn't eat it.

Genova's Pizza Station stands out in the maze of pizza restaurants in the Richmond area. The tomato sauce is the best.
Stephen W.

The pizza sauce really stands out. The calamari is as good as I've had.Genova's Pizza Station is well worth a try.

Deceptive pricing. The online price is different from what you pay at the restaurant. And the customer service was terrible.

i love the dim lighting and the family style entrees…read more the brocc rabe garlic + oo w ricotta + parm add shrimp was absolutely life changing i cannot wait to have it again we had an amazing waiter he was spot on w everything so grateful to have been shown this restaurant

I know this is a Richmond institution bc it's been around forever. It's good but I feel like it…read morecould be even better. Very old school with no online reservations which is not super convenient but hey I can get behind it if they are going for an exclusive vibe. Very much an old style Italian restaurant but feels like they have really packed the tables in here - like sardines- so yeah it feels a little tight for my tastes. Service was friendly and helpful. (Making the reservation over the phone was not overly warm and fuzzy but hey I get it you probably are tired of having to take reservations over the phone all day lol). We got a popular app- the squid,white bean and arugula which was bright and flavorful so lived up to the hype but a little disappointing in that there was not a lot of squid so $18 for beans and arugula seemed a bit much. Also got the seafood bisque which was pretty tasty. For entrees we got the halibut, the monk fish fra diavolo and the spaghetti with crab meat. The spaghetti with crab meat was shockingly good. It better be for $40 but I don't always like crab bc it can be overly fishy in a not good way but this entree was very good. We also liked the halibut- nice piece of fish perfectly cooked. The MonkFish had a nice flavor, but the bones in it was a little bit overwhelming, and kinda made eating a lot of work. Seemed pricey to me since only one of us had a glass of wine and no other drinks, but I guess $50 a person sans cocktails and dessert is the new norm?!

Made a reservation and went here to celebrate a birthday. This place is great. Ambiance was classy…read moreand clean. The lighting really contributed to the very intimate feel of the restaurant. The open layout of the kitchen allows diners to see the cooks preparing food. One can also see the patio/outside seating from the inside as it was separated by a huge glass. Our server Matt, though he did not introduce himself, was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu and gave us great recommendations. Food was great. They a great and huge selection of wine and other drinks (I did not take pictures of this wine list that had multiple pages). I was not a fan of the nonalcoholic "Is that Cashmere?" Since it had grapefruit, pomegranate, cinnamon, vanilla, and soda, I was expecting a fruity taste but the cinnamon and other ingredients overpowered the fruity notes. Polpo alla griglia was great as the grilled octopus was chewy and flavorful. I would have preferred the beans to be softer though. Stinco di Maiale was very tender braised pork shank that really went well with polenta. Pesce arrostito was roasted rockfish and black rice with fennel sausage. This was very good too with a hint of spiciness. For dessert, the bunet was fantastic. It's chocolate, almond with amaretto. Love the texture. It was light and very good. Service was fantastic. Once you've told them food restrictions, everyone serving your table will know it without asking you again. The sommelier was very nice. If you're taking out your food, you'll receive a small piece of paper like for coat checks and you can get it when you leave. They also had card and a little something for birthday celebrants (cookies with candle) which was sweet. Would definitely be back!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since our last visit. This time we got a spot on the patio…read moreand loved it. The weather was a balmy 72° at 6:30 PM and slightly overcast which made the patio the perfect place. A very serene setting for a sophisticated meal. I highly recommend the patio, but you need to plan way in advance. Even on a Wednesday night. And definitely get there early because parking is a bear. I don't mind the walk, but anybody with mobility challenges, might find it tough to get there on time unless they can get dropped off. For cocktails our friends got a very swanky bottle of white wine by Cinque Terre. My husband and I got mixed drinks : the Italian stallion and the ciao fantasy. Very different experiences, but both very good. The Italian stallion was complex yet refreshing and the ciao fantasy was complex and smooth. For appetizers, we got the beef tartare and the Borlatti farro verde. Again, both very different but equally delicious. The tartar obviously more a protein forward appetizer that had a smooth richness brought out by the egg and the well chopped beef. The extra sourdough was a nice touch. The Borlatti was the perfect starter for a spring evening and I actually enjoyed it more than my entrée. It has a lightness to it, but also richly satisfying, especially with the sourdough. For the entrées, we went back to our favorites from last time which was the cavatappi and the rockfish. I enjoyed the cavatappi more but I was trying to get more protein and less simple carbs so I stuck with the rock fish. This time the fish was not a great piece and had very little edible protein because of the bloodline running down the center of it, so for $38 it felt a bit stingy because I needed more of the fish than the slightly over spiced rice and sausage. Did not feel like a good choice for the evening. I did not finish and went back to my appetizer to satisfy any hunger pains left. Definitely disappointed that there was no specials for the evening and a lot of the menu seems pretty similar to the last time we were there. Also seems like fewer choices at least for the small plates. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and again really enjoyed the atmosphere. However. Everything seems overpriced these days but even though prices haven't shifted that much at LL on this occasion, $172 after tax but before tip seemed a bit much for Richmond. Feels like everything is a few dollars over what the price point should be especially if it's not done to perfection. We will probably go back but not for a long while bc of price but also because of menu options. There are several restaurants in Church Hill that bring more bang for your buck.

A hole in the wall hidden gem for authentic Italian food and excellent value (portion and quality…read moreto price ratio) --------------------------------- Food: some of the best food I've had in Richmond, and ever! We ordered a beet and fennel salad - and now, that is a salad. The beets were fresh (I've had canned beets in salads before but this was fresh), and the fennel was crunch, mild, and texturely satisfying in contrast with the soft beets, the dressing was well coated but not drenching the salad. Could have eaten the salad all day but then the entrees came: Squid ink fettuccine with calamari and shrimp -- it was so fresh I could not eat it for a few minutes, massive entree, fettuccine tasted like it was made in house, so flavorful and rich Sausage with polenta -- my first time trying polenta in solid form, tastes a bit like if rice and corn combined, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sausage was good too Also the complimentary bread was excellent, crunchy exterior soft interior, especially dipped in the pasta sauce Recommendations: making a reservation (you have to call), we made the mistake of assuming it being a cold rainy Sunday, we could do a walk in at the bar, but ended up walking in the rain for about an hour - well worth the wait Affordability: ~$25-30/entree Ambiance: it's pretty small and easy to bump into people on accident, but very cozy ambiance with deep red color theme Service: great, no issues! Good for: date night, celebration, when you just want good food

From the first bite, it was clear the kitchen took pride in both tradition and detail. The mussels were exceptional; tender, briny, and swimming in a deeply flavorful tomato broth that begged to be sopped up with their freshly baked bread. The gnocchi with cream sauce was pure comfort food elevated to art. The pillows of gnocchi were light and delicate rather than heavy, and the cream sauce struck that perfect balance: rich and indulgent without overwhelming the dish. Every bite felt carefully crafted and deeply satisfying. My wife commented that it was the best cream sauce she's ever had. Another surprise were the baked cabbage and Swiss chard dishes we had as appetizers. Savory, tender, and layered with flavor. The slight caramelization and depth from baking gave the greens a richness that complemented the meal beautifully. Between the warm RVA atmosphere, attentive service, and a curated menu that respected Italian tradition while delivering satisfying flavors, Dinamo is the kind of place my wife and I will certainly return to. Highly recommended.
