    Seared Chili Shrimp
    Isabel H.

    Tazza has been on my list of restaurants to try in Scott's! I came here with a large party of around eight people, and we were luckily able to make a same-day reservation. Their seasonal cocktail menu is delicious, and all very reasonably priced in the $11-$15 range. I had both a Paloma and Hugo spritz, both which I really enjoyed. The seared chili shrimp was absolutely delicious. I didn't necessarily know what to expect, but the corn was almost like a polenta, and the shrimp was very flavorful and well seasoned. Honestly, the portion was pretty large for one person, but I was pretty hungry and managed to finish it. Service is pretty fast here and our food came out quickly. It was a little bit loud from an ambience standpoint, but nonetheless, I had a good time and would come back.

    Roasted beets.

    Lovely visit to Tazza in Scott's Addition. We have been regulars at the southside location - but are moving and wanted to see what a closer location was like. Scott's Addition is known for cramped parking - and that wasn't a surprise. Staff were all very helpful, friendly and helped guide me to the handicapped access (lift). Our waitress, Christina was friendly and took good care of us. My husband and I defaulted to our 'regular' order to have a comparison. He had the burger with a side of green rice, I had the spaghetti squash with farro and we shared a side order of beets. The burger was the same - but the squash and farro (with added adobo chicken) was presented quite differently. Separating elements of farro; squash; and pine nuts with reduction all in their own place. I really enjoyed the difference. I got to appreciate the creamy farro as it's own stand out element of the dish. We will return happily (abet early- and not on a weekend).

    We love Tazza Kitchen - it's definitely one of our favorite restaurants in Richmond. No matter the location, they are all fairly consistent with food and service.

    Chips & Queso

    Tazza is truly a modern vibe. The atmosphere is very welcoming when you enter the establishment. They have a full bar to the left as you enter or you can dine at a table and still order from the bar. Our server was very attentive, informative, and added to the welcoming vibe when you first came. My dining experience was a table for two. My husband and I started off with chips, queso, and a wonderful cocktail. The menu had several items to choose from and the most difficult part of this dining experience was selected the right meal. The bathrooms were clean, all the tables were cleaned as soon as customers completed their dining experience. The main dishes, bowls, salads and appetizers all looked amazing when they were delivered to the customer's table (yes I looked everyone's plate ). However, I ordered the Honey Harissa Bowl and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh from the lettuce, fried sweet potato chunks, and the tzatziki sauce was amazing! For my husband he had the Chicken Alfredo where the sauce was freshly made (not a jar sauce), the pasta was tender, and the chicken was thoroughly seasoned. The entire visit was an experience and we both have been raving about this restaurant and can't wait to come back.

    This is a lovely gem offering wood fired pizzas, veggies, crab cakes, etc. I arrived during happy hour and appreciated the discount drinks and appetizers. Wish I had brought a friend to share some more treats. The server was very accommodating and I enjoyed the crabcakes, plenty of crab and the 2 were plenty. I did send them back the first time as they were not hot on the middle. Since i didn't want fries, I substituted the sweet potatoes that had a bit of spice. Next time, I would sub a salad to balance the richness of the crab cakes. House bread was yummy and the pizza looked tempting! Free validation for parking across the street which is ideal as it was difficult to find street parking. All of the local breweries looked interesting too...next time!

    My fave -  Mediterranean Bowl w braised beef

    Tazas has had its ups & downs over the years, but this Scott's addition is, hands down, my favorite location in RVA and they've not let me down. Ambience - super chic w a lot of versatility - you could have a work meeting, a girls night out, a quick bite in between clients, or a casual date night. Food - a ton of variety with foods that make you want to try something new. Drinks - their cocktails can hang w the big dogs (i.e., these drinks hooked their weight among other local bars) I recommend the pizzas - especially the spicy sausage and black pepper honey, Mediterranean bowl- especially if you live lentils and halloumi (ugh I drool), and braised beef short rib tacos! Lunch hour gets busy, but they do move pretty quickly. The French toast for brunch is easily one of the best in the city. Breakfast pizza slaps...and while I love their huevos rancheros, it's not enough food! But you could always eat off your friend's plate like I do

    I've been coming to this Tazza location for a few years. It's always a great option for any occasion whether I have a work lunch or am catching up with friends. The service is usually great and very accommodating. Reservations can be made on Resy. They also have free parking in a lot across the street, which is rare for Scott's Addition - just be sure to tell the host. All the food I've had is pretty good and they have cute drinks. My favorite dish is the bolognese pasta. I believe the pasta is made fresh and it pairs beautifully with the ragu and parmesan. I also enjoy their pizzas and it's one of the few places where I even eat the crust.

    Potatoes

    Gathered here for a family brunch and it was all of ours first time! It was really pretty and spacious outside and the natural lighting helped keep the space warm and inviting. I ordered the Juna mocktail and it did not disappoint. For my main dish, I got the French toast, which was so thick, moist and tasty and a side of potatoes, which I wish was a bigger portion but was seasoned well. The service was okay but that's to be expected which a larger group. Overall, everyone was content and well definitely be returning!

    Shrimp and grits take our portion. Used the can for scale.

    Man, I have loved and enjoyed this place for going in 10 years. After tonight's experience with our take-out order, never again I'm afraid. My wife and I got two $30 entrees. When we opened the packaging we both laughed. "Is this a joke?" I could probably have eaten my portion of shrimp and grits in five bites. It was tiny. Hardly even a snack. Super disappointing. My wife's was the same. She had a salmon bowl. We sent in a complaint to door dash. We'll see. I just don't know how you could let an order leave the kitchen like that. You know if that happened at the restaurant there's no way anyone would stand for it. I'm sure the waiter would reject it. Don't do take out. Hoping this is a fluke.

    We recently visit this restaurant while in Richmond. The food was outstanding. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and split them. The guacamole and queso were outstanding. The pizza was great and the roasted beats rocked. The staff was friendly and service was super. It is a really nice place. I would recommend d reservations, but they do take walk ups.

    I hosted a business dinner here for a large group. The private room had a really nice set up with a garage window that you can lift open to let the breeze in! We ordered a little of everything. Our favorite by far was the goat cheese appetizer. It's a blend of melted goat cheese swimming in a delicious marinara sauce served alongside garlic bread crostini's!

    James H.

    Came here twice in the same week. Both experiences were great. Didn't try any cocktails but ordered the scallops one night and a salad the other. Both came out quickly and had plenty of flavors. Service was super friendly and efficient.

    To start off, this Tazza is in an amazing location to make a night out of it. It's in Scott's addition which is full of breweries, cideries, game bars - it makes for a fun night of dinner and drinks. I will say there are other restaurants in Scott's addition that I enjoy more than Tazza but if you are in the mood for a nicer sit down dinner than this is a solid choice in that area. The food is inventive and delicious. The second picture is a spaghetti squash dish that was really tasty and tons of unique flavors in it. They have a patio area that is covered and heated so it's good for all seasons. And the inside is very vibey.

    How cold is it inside? I'm sensitive to over-air-conditioned spaces. Weird, I know...

    I'm cold everywhereeee. I remember being cold in here and getting goose bumps. I was wearing a short sun dress and sandals though.

    Does this Scotts Addition location have a parking lot or is it only street parking?

    Nancy, There is a parking lot caddy corner that is for Tazza. There is also plenty of street parking available as well.

    Hats off to the staff at Lillian who continue to be wonderful, but now that they have scrapped…read moretheir dollar oyster lunch specials, the food has absolutely nothing to offer. Like too many restaurants in the Scott's Addition area, this is seafood cooked without finesse and then absolutely brutalized with absurd amounts of palate fatiguing, brash, loud flavors. Every item on the menu endeavors to conceal mediocrity in the quality and handling of the ingredients with explosive, overwhelming additives meant to shock you into submission. Things like black garlic and chili oil, raw garlic, sesame seed oil, and punishing heat are inescapable on the menu, which really says to me loud and clear "we do not understand the appeal of seafood, and might have a fundamental misunderstanding about good food in general." I don't exaggerate when I say these dishes would be improved (setting aside things like inability to properly cook octopus) by scaling back the flavors to 5-10% the loudness level they are currently at, to let the ingredients speak, and to make the dining experience less of a punishing marathon with no relief. I have had much subtler and more skillfully balanced dishes at Indian and Thai restaurants, cuisines known for strong flavor profiles. I'm through listening to these Richmond restaurants trying to excuse simply bad food by claiming "that's the nature of the cuisine." In this case, Lillian claims that dishes characterized by these cacophonous competing flavors is "South American." No it isn't - the person conceptualizing the dishes is just a bad chef who doesn't know what he's doing, and at the prices Lillian charges, that's inexcusable. Drowning every dish in flavors that overwhelm the palate is not a way to respect your ingredients or your diner, and only communicates youth and insecurity. Anyone who's eaten widely and knows their ingredients will rightly feel assaulted and insulted by this overpriced, unskilled fare. To anyone who decides to go anyway: Good luck with the digestive distress, and with the taste that will still be left over in your mouth the next morning, no matter how much you brush your teeth.

He asked for the password and we, unprepared, had to tell him a joke or an interesting fact. Luckily, my partner had one on hand. The atmosphere was lovely, very reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy, or at least what you'd imagine it to be like. Our server came by within a few minutes of us being seated. She lacked enthusiasm, unlike the host, unfortunately. Her service turned out to be lackluster as well. We ordered the chicken pot pie and the filet mignon with asparagus. For drinks, the Grape Gatsby and Maine root beer. The food, like our server, lacked appeal. The saving grace was the host and the atmosphere. The view was lovely and the intimacy of the setting was a welcome experience. For dessert we ordered the bread pudding, and it was tasty, though nothing special. The burned odor that we smelled prior to its arrival turned out to be the bread. I can recommend Grandstaff and Stein as an experience, but you should not expect much in the way of culinary delights or exemplary service. We probably won't be back, but if you've never been, it's worth trying at least once.
