Best Italian Restaurants in Richmond

This was our first trip to Lombardi’s, and it will become a regular part of our restaurant rotation. We went for Christmas lunch. We were happy that we could order from the regular menu, the brunch menu or the Holiday Menu. All three of us enjoyed our cocktails and meals. The design is beautiful , which adds to the overall lovely experience.

Loved everything about the restaurant and the food and the service! The only negative that I could possibly mention would be the lounge singer. The renditions that they did of Christmas music were annoying mostly. But I did enjoy having the background of music, although it was a little loud sometimes. This would not keep me from going back to this restaurant! It has absolutely fantastic food!! and service!!

While the food and service received by our server, Angel was exceptional, my group of 5 did encounter less than stellar service from the food runners in our section. We were seated in the private room as an overflow measure, even though we had a reservation for the main dining room. The private room was set up sparsely with round tables too close to each other. / members of the party were seated with their backs and chairs in close proximity to the 2 tables behind them and when other guests were seated at those tables, there was virtually no walkable space between them. This didn’t stop the food runners from attempting to maneuver between the chairs and one runner in particular was rude and so insistent on fitting through the tiny space she physically touched a member of my party with her body on several occasions. After being asked to please go around and not attempt to continue to fit in between the chairs, she scoffed at the request and rolled her eyes before exiting the private room. We did not see this runner again and did not bring it up to management as there was no further escalation or incident.

I had a great time here. The food was amazing. We have the Bolognese pasta, the Lasagna, and the Brussel sprouts

It was our first time visiting, and it was amazing. We went to celebrate a birthday, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The food was amazing from the appetizer to the complimentary dessert for the birthday person. It was an wonderful experience that we will definitely do again, and have already started recommending it to friends and colleagues to go and enjoy a meal.
