    Garlic Cheese Bread Garlic Cheese Bread
    Nick R.

    Nice little local place with a good atmosphere. I would call this more American Italian the authentic but the food was ok. Started with Bang Bang Shrimp which I thought was odd for an Italian restaurant but is was not bad nevertheless. The garlic cheese bread was good but found the bread to be a bit doughy tasting and that was the same with the pizza crust. I am thinking they just needed to cook both items a bit longer. Wait staff were extremely friendly and offered suggestions.

    Linguini Di Mara with Marinara Sauce

    Food was amazing, staff super curious and professional. The scallops were very large and fresh. Certainly an Italian place to check out if you are in the Richmond VA area.

    Chicken Piccata
    Keith C.

    I was in Sandston on a business trip and in the mood for some good Italian food. My hotel recommended Roma Ristorante, and as soon as I walked in, the aroma confirmed I was in the right place. I started with the calamari, asked for it cooked a little crispier, and it came out perfectly--tender inside, crispy outside, and paired with some really nice dipping sauces. For my main dish, I had the chicken piccata. It was beautifully presented, served hot, and bursting with flavor. To top things off, I grabbed a cannoli to go, which made for the perfect finish later. The service was excellent--attentive without being overbearing--and the whole experience left me impressed. Definitely a place I'd come back to when in the area

    Bourbon

    Roma Ristorante brought more than one surprise that elevated them into rare 5 star territory for me. When researching a restaurant by Richmond International they seemed to be an obvious choice. Signage was easy to locate them and parking was not an issue on a Monday night. The parking area and walk up were clear of debris. A hostess greeted my party and immediately seated us in the main dining room with menus. Of note the menus were quality stock. A friendly server arrived for drink orders, I got a glass of house Cabernet. We put in for an appetizer of bruschetta. Our party was seated close to the small bar. The lighting, decoration of bourbon bottle displays and atmosphere was totally on point for me. They were having a Monday pasta night special which was considered. Ultimately with a long travel day and just arriving from the airport I went big and got the Trio. That's a combo of spaghetti, manicotti and chicken parmigiana. Our waitress warned us all the portions are large. My guest got the Lasagna. Both came with salads and bread. The app was pretty good. The wine was just ok, not sure what their house was. The bread warm and yum. Food orders hit the table around 30-35 minutes after ordering which was perfect. It allowed plenty of time for the app, bread and salads. The Trio was enormous and lasagna was formidable. Both were enjoyed and half the Trio was put in a to go. I mentioned to the waitress that I was crazy impressed with their bourbon menu. She pointed out that they offer a bourbon tasting night that always sells out and requires reservations. Desert was up next and they have a nice selection, ultimately the chocolate cake and tiramisu were chosen. They came out within minutes. My tiramisu was nicely portioned, light and flavorful. The chocolate cake was a wow! The close out of the check was smooth. Note they offer a 3.5% cash discount. As we ate desert the owner Antonio came to our table to thank us for dining with them. He learned from the waitress that I enjoyed bourbon. So we talked probably 10 minutes about his menu and more. I learned he has another location by the same name in Mechanicsville that his brother runs. Whenever a GM or owner checks on my table the review is elevated. However it's the rare bourbon menu which sealed their fate as a full 5 stars. They offer bottles few restaurants dream of having and the prices are good. Antonio himself a bourbon lover hand picks the collection. This is a sleeper location so far East of Richmond in Sandston by the airport, but they have their regulars. They have a strong bourbon following which is no surprise. Also they have options for event space. Check them out, I promise you will not be disappointed.

    Calabrese Pizza
    Dustin H.

    Great stop as we were passing through the outskirts of Richmond. The arancini appetizer was delicious. We split a large calabrese pizza--roasted peppers and smoked sausage on a sweet (but not too sweet) marinara sauce. The pizza crust was hand-tossed and tasted wood-fired, with smoky crisp bits. Despite having plenty of the sausage on top, it wasn't even slightly greasy and felt light to eat. After a day of walking through VA parks and historical sites, this really hit the spot! Decent selection of beers on tap, wine by the glass, and a solid+ bourbon menu to boot. Our server was friendly and efficient, the prices were very fair, and service was fast! There were several pasta dishes that looked terrific but we were more than happy with our choice of pizza.

    Penne with Meat sauce
    Pat H.

    Service is great. The bread is delicious and when we finished the two rolls, the server asked if we would like more. As a starter we ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms. There were 6 large mushrooms to share. They were great. When finished we dipped our bread into the remaining cheese from the mushrooms. The main dishes were excellent. Ans as usual we had leftovers. The ambiance is pleasant. Nice looking rooms. The main room was full so we got the back room. I really like that area. Away from the main entrance. I decided to end with a cappuccino. There was backup of drink orders at the bar. So had to wait for the cappuccino. The cappuccino is worth the wait. But I couldn't finish. So server brought a take out cup for it. Asked first and I said yes.

    We are so thankful to the team at Groovin Gourmets for doing a wonderful job with our wedding…read morecatering (and venue setup!). Everyone we spoke to (venues, coordinators, etc.) recommended Groovin, and as soon as we reached out we understood why - from the very beginning they were incredibly responsive, and happy to answer our many (many) questions. Kaylyn made the planning process easy, helping us to develop a staffing plan to help with the set-up of our venue (The Workshop by T&D, which was also great). Groovin staff came the day before to set up ceremony chairs and then immediately after the ceremony efficiently moved all the chairs to the other side of the venue for dinner. They helped us coordinate rentals with Party Perfect and had all the right answers (and questions) during our on-site venue walkthrough. As for the food itself, everything was delicious! People always tell you that you won't eat at your own wedding, but the food was so good that we sat and ate our entire plates. Guests raved and two friends told us that they even came up with targeted strategies to chase down their favorite hors d'oeuvre when they came out. We especially recommend the pork belly hors d'oeuvre and the szechuan salmon entree. From start to finish, Groovin' was efficient and professional, and we would highly recommend them for any event.

    No hesitation - go with Groovin! From the first phone call with our rep, Michelle, we knew Groovin…read morewas right for us. All of the caterers in the area have delicious food and Groovin' provided nothing less than exceptional, but it was their customer service that sets them head and shoulders above the rest. During our tasting, we enjoyed complimentary champagne upon arrival after we parked in our reserved and personalized parking space out front. The table was set beautifully, and dishes were presented exactly as they would be on Wedding Day. We were impressed from the jump, and our love of Groovin only grew once we tried the delicious foods! Throughout the process, Michelle was responsive to my MANY emails and questions, and on wedding day, all of our guests were impressed with the professionalism, kindness, outstanding service, and DELICIOUS food! My friends continue to rave about the hot honey chicken biscuits!
