While located in RVA, Gersi has a true New York City feel that is energetic and bustling. Seating is on the tighter side, and it can get quite loud, so it's not the place for a quiet conversation.

I got the soprano on seeded roll with banana peppers and omg I was screaming sitting my car eating it bc it was SO GOOD. They have a pretty extensive menu, and I will definitely be going back to explore more of it. Additionally, they had lots of other items like packed to go meals and sauces, pastas, beverages, and other cute gifty items for pet lovers. It appears to be multiple small businesses located in this space. The staff was super welcoming and helpful. There is a small dining area inside with 4(?) seats. Looks to be a popular take out spot. You can order ahead of time, but I ordered in person. They told me it'd be 15 mins so ran to the store, came back and it was ready. The sandwich was phenomenal. Everything was fresh and flavorful. And they give you a lot, enough for 2 meals for me. Can't wait to go back!

They're tucked inside the Market on Meadow store, which I thought was new, but they've actually been there for about three years. The owner recently bought the building and plans to rebrand since they're now the only vendor there. Even better, they're opening a second location at Harrison and Grace St. soon! I ordered the Soprano sub, and it was absolutely incredible. It comes loaded with hot soppressata, capicola, ham, sharp provolone, arugula, olive salad, red onion, vinaigrette, and mayo on fresh bread. I added sweet peppers and banana peppers for a little extra punch, and it was a great choice. The flavors were perfectly balanced--the salty meats paired beautifully with the tangy olive salad and sharp provolone, while the vinaigrette and mayo brought everything together. The bread was amazing--crusty on the outside, soft on the inside--and it turns out they get it from New York City! The owner is such a nice guy, and we ended up chatting for a while about his bread sourcing and plans for the business. You can tell he's passionate about what he does, and it really comes through in the food. Polpetti is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it gets. Whether you're a sandwich aficionado or just looking for a great meal, this spot is worth the visit. I can't wait to come back and try more--and to check out their new location when it opens!

Sun-shelter parking! How awesome is that? I'm traveling this week for the Fourth of July and…read morevisiting my hometown, and this, ahem, relatively new location, replacing the Pleasant's Hardware. As I said, they have sun sheltered parking off to the left of the main parking, a great option when it's 99 degrees outside, and a decent rain shelter too, though it would be a bit imperfect. The store is typical Whole Foods though a tad smaller than the location I'm used to, it still has great options for vegetables especially organic, and other healthy items like kombuchas and limited ingredient prepared foods and some great meat and cheese options. I asked for directions to find an item on the shopping list and had a friendly response, and our checkout person was friendly and helpful too. The market was busy and but not overcrowded and there is a lot of space around the perimeter (they say shop the perimeter for the best foods and WF seems to have given thought to giving you more room for that and a tad less for the aisles, a decent approach for my tastes. They were having an issue with their freezers on this day but had the wherewithal to direct customers to the location the frozen items had been moved to, a very customer-friendly move. The AC kept things nice and cool inside on a very hot day. And the meat department was even more chilled. From my Mother, While WF can be a bit more expensive, they offer Prime Deals often and carry a 365 prime brand that is dependably low priced and high quality. Watch for a once a year ice cream discount too!

I am left to write a review about this since I've talked to someone in store and online and over…read morethe phone but the fact that when you return home with a three year old and find your bread is moldy and you cannot easily process a refund is reason enough to not go back. Do not tell me in this day and age that is not possible. That is a choice. That's a choice Amazon and Whole Foods is making to make the lives of their customers harder. I have a prime account. I check out my own items. I use the card you promote and have a digital receipt. Yall can laugh and hang up on me and say that isn't the way you do things. That's fine but I'll just got to Kroger then. Because of the way they do things. When there's choices treating people fairly instead of giving them the run around matters. Especially when your products are expensive. Maybe Whole Foods and Amazon will change their policies if enough of us say enough is enough. Probably not but it's worth adding five minutes to a 45 minutes saga of unsuccessfully getting a refund for moldy bread. As if there aren't enough reasons to cancel prime.

This place was pretty hyped up and I was not impressed. Their food was alright. Nothing bad per se. But could definitely be better for the price of $15 each. The 'fresh' food in the fridge and baked goods in the cabinet definitely did not look fresh by any means. There were flies on the baked goods; the veggies looked very dark in the fridge. I understand that they can be busy- but i wouldn't pay $4+ for any sort of food with bad veggies or flies on it.

My entree was honey brussel sprouts, mac n cheese, blackened salmon. the salmon and brussel sprouts were very flavorful and each bite was better than the last. the mac n cheese though..! It was disappointing, tasted like noodles with cheese poured on top. it didn't match the salmon, it had no taste, needed salt & pepper or something to help it taste like something. My iced tea was really good too. so the mac was the only thing that wasn't up to par. Finally dessert was a special on the board, caramel apple bread pudding. we shared one, it was a huge shareable piece that was warm and melted in my mouth very good. I will absolutely go back here and try something new next time to see what else they have.

Their classic sides like the potato and mac salad were pretty good - not too much mayo and a good consistency. The sandwiches themselves were decent but definitely would choose the tuna salad over the ham.

We had to chase down waiters to order anything, everything didn't come out the same time, and zero hospitality. Fast forward now to last week. A group of 9 of us come in for our wedding weekend and they thought we had 8 people not 9. They try to seat us on the swinging seats which can't even fit our 8 people. NOT ONCE did they try to help us, move us, offer to do ANYTHING. They literally stared at us not saying a word. We asked if we could have two tables, no. Have a stool to add, no. Wait for a larger table outside, no. Just absolutely the worst hospitality or lack there of I have ever had. This place has had issues with staff for years. Unfortunately it's now costing them consistent customers as we are not the only ones this has happened to. We ended up leaving and going to another Thai restaurant. If you want to be ignored and stared at with dead fish eyes this is the place for you.
