I live in Houston, Texas but have been to Mamma Zu's on 3 different occasions when I was in Richmond visiting my friends in GWAR over the years. They took me there the first time in 2001 and I have been hooked ever since. Without reservation I would say that if I was on death row and allowed to eat one final meal (in the restaurant of course) I would pick Mamma Zu's the food is always to die for and with a large enough group you get such a wonderful array of different flavors. I gladly accept the fact that they only accept AMEX or cash and won't take reservations it's just part of the ambiance of the place. Waiting is just a good chance to sample the awesome wine and get fired up for your meal.
I'm coming back to Richmond in early August for the Gwar-B-Q and counting down the days until I can say I've been to Mamma Zu's a fourth time!
Pros: ambiance, food, food, & FOOD!
