If you love Italian food, do not miss this one. My husband and I were visiting Richmond from North Carolina last week-end and we were looking for a good Italian Restaurant that was NOT a chain. We decided to overlook the bad reviews since there were so many good ones. We definitely made the right decision. We didn't expect fast service on a busy Friday but we were getting a little irritated when they seated a couple at the booth behind us while we were eating our salad. They ordered, ate their pizza, left, and they seated two women at that booth --- we still didn't have our spaghetti. Same for a table near us. Four people were seated after us, all had sandwiches and left and there was a second seating while we were still waiting. I believe our order was lost in the kitchen, they were very busy with a girl's soccer team. I will have to say, the food was worth the wait. The salad was very fresh and it was full of good things, meat and cheese. The spaghetti was the best I have had in a restaurant since I was a teen and worked at a ""real Italian"" restaurant in Ohio. I can't wait to go back to Richmond to eat there again. The portions are large, we should have split an order of spaghetti and just ordered an extra salad. Oh well, we put the leftovers in the cooler and we get to have it again tomorrow. Ignore the bad reviews -- this place is awesome.
