My review from 2014 (omg - 8 years ago!) is long overdue for an update…read more This shop is owned by the loveliest husband and wife team that is one thing that has remained the same. Well, that and the quality of the food. Beyond that, almost everything else has leveled up and I'm here for it! Instead of looking more like a warehouse, it now looks like a cozy spot to plop down and have lunch or an early dinner with a glass of wine. I love that they now have a brewery inside and tons of prepared foods in the fridges! They have also developed spices that look amazing. This time, I ordered the carbonara which, of course, was fresh and amazing. Everything here is reasonably priced. I have not wanted a business to succeed quite as much as this one. It makes me so happy to see the growth that has happened over the last few years and I hope it continues to increase!

There is also a small distillery within the store with a bar to sit and enjoy drinks. A few patio tables outside as well. And the best part is they allow dogs inside!

We made a reservation (not necessary on a Thursday night) and the back of the restaurant was so pleasantly dead quiet, we could actually hear each other speaking. Our waiter was quiet and attentive and lovely. We ordered the zucchini appetizer, probably the best zucchini frites I've ever had, the eggplant parm and the lasagna. The lasagna was good but left something to be desired. The eggplant parm was exactly the way I like it. The tomato sauce is light and tastes like fresh tomatoes. The eggplant was crisp without being oily. We will definitely come again.

Our server Patricia was attentive and told us about the menu and some things not on the menu. The complimentary bread at the start was very good. Just the right amount of crunchiness at the outside but very chewy on the inside. I love it. Mussels in white sauce was good. The bucatini pasta special that had sausage and broccoli rabe in white wine and garlic sauce was solid. Flavorful and not very heavy. Tiramisu della Famiglia was okay. The homemade pistachio and chocolate chip bread pudding with vanilla ice cream was huge. It's meant for sharing with at least another person. The contrasting warm pudding and cold ice cream were good. I liked it! Would definitely be back.

After placing my order, the waitress served bread accompanied by an olive oil dip. The quality of the bread and dip was satisfactory and enjoyable. However, after finishing the last piece of bread, an issue was observed. A bug was found crawling inside the bread basket. This was highly concerning and created a negative impression of the restaurant's hygiene standards. The waitress was informed immediately. She removed the bread basket and took it to the bar sink. Notably, no apology or further explanation was provided at that time. While the main food served was of good quality, this incident significantly impacted the overall dining experience. As a result, it raises concerns about whether I would choose to return in the future.

I haven't yet had the chance to attend one of their pop ups, but I'm an avid fan of their pastas and cannot wait to one day! Birdhouse Market on Tuesdays is my go-to for their pasta. You can also find them at the St. Stephen's farmers market. My favorite pasta they make is their sourdough tonnarelli. The creste de gallo is a must try. Other delicious and unique flavors I've enjoyed are the basil gnochetti and the porcini bucatini. I once got their white bolognese sauce and paired it with one of their pastas, it was divine. They have cute postcards with pasta sauce recipes, but you can also buy their incredible pasta sauces and pair it with the pasta you buy (which I highly recommend). If you need any help, the owner who runs the stand is incredibly sweet and can guide you in the right direction. Oro is incredible, if I could give them 100 stars I would.

Especially coming from someone who has used a lot of boxed pasta over the years, I absolutely love getting to enjoy it fresh. Since I live alone, I'm typically able to break it into several nights of food for dinner, which works out great. After a long day, it's so easy to make (what I've tried so far was recc 1-2 minutes of cook time) Staff is always happy to answer questions about the pasta also! Pictured is the basil one, you've gotta love basil for this one, but it was very enjoyable, also loved the noodle shape, which I'm blanking on the exact name at the moment.

Our server was out soon after and took our drink orders. They offer a full bar and decent wine selection. We order the vino. Once the drinks were delivered we were asked if we care to order any starters- we declined. The server then took our orders. The menu is quite large and they have many selections and variations- Some of us were carb conscious and ask for alternatives- they are happy to help and guess what - you can order scampi and carbonara over steamed broccoli! I opted for my favorite Spaghetti with meatballs. They do offer a lighter fare with only 2 large meatballs - I selected that. Here with entrees it includes unlimited soup or salad with bread sticks . The other dishes included Shrimp Scampi , Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara over broccoli and shrimp scampi over broccoli. The server brought the soup and the large family style salad. They shred Parmesan cheese on it with a grinder. The meals arrived perfectly timed. Piping hot and looking very delicious. The food was spot on - cooked just right and generous in portion size. The ambiance was very villa Italian like with soft music - the place was not quiet but no loud - just right. The server was excellent sometimes even predicting our needs. To top it off at the meal end the server gave us Salad to go with bread sticks and some yummy chocolate Andes mints. We did not have room for dessert but they looked awesome - maybe next time. This place was great - good food - good service. If you haven't been in a while check them out. Good experience for us. We will be back.

The owner, who…read moreappears to be the only employee, is consistently rude, hostile, and aggressive toward customers. He strongly pushes online ordering (there's even a sign saying it's preferred), yet the third-party ordering website frequently freezes or fails to accept orders. In the past, I've been yelled at for trying to order in person and told it would take 45 minutes. This time, I ordered online as instructed and arrived at the pickup time, only to be ignored for about 10 minutes despite standing right in front of him. When he finally acknowledged me, he couldn't find part of the order, then angrily threw the food on the counter and demanded payment--even though I had already paid online. He refused to accept an email receipt and said he doesn't give receipts at all. So I paid twice. On top of that, the online prices were nearly double the in-store prices, with no clear explanation when I inquired. Great food does not excuse terrible customer service. The experience is stressful, unpleasant, and unprofessional.

I discovered Rainbow Trout Granola through a Google search: "local granola RVA." I wanted to include local granola and honey in a Christmas gift; finding honey was easy but not the granola. I read the company's bio and was sold that Rainbow Trout granola was what I needed. Just in case I was wrong, I purchased two bags so that I could do a taste test. That taste test made me wish I had gotten more. Rainbow Trout Kitchen's Classic Granola - 1 pound $10. 99 and can be shipped anywhere in the US for $7. I opted for local pickup at their commercial kitchen. I could smell the aroma of warm cinnamon before I reached the door. While chatting with one of the owners I learned that Rainbow Trout Granola is also available at a few local merchants. I can only recall Libby Market, Yellow Umbrella, and Good Foods but there were other retailers.
