Fish sandwich

5/5. Came here for dinner and was really impressed. The cheesesteak and fish sandwich were both outstanding. The bread on the cheesesteak was incredibly fresh, and the portions were generous--I ate half the sandwich before I even remembered to take a picture. The fish sandwich was huge and perfectly crispy. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, and a great local small-business vibe. We'll definitely be back!

Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Genova's is a classic staple of Bon Air. The pizzas are huge portions, and have a wide selection on the menu. They generally have great service and fast times for pick up.

I stopped in for a late lunch on a rainy Sunday. I had a hankering for an Italian sub, so I selected the Italian Supreme, with lettuce, tomato, onion, oil and vinegar. It came out promptly, in a warmed roll. It was really yummy, totally hit the spot and was reasonably priced. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

Starting off, many might not know this but this place doesn't have the best parking lot. It only contains one handicap lot, and two regular lots. Going off of aesthetics once more, the exterior of the building appears much older than its interior, with a majority of the equipment and furniture looking recent/new. Also, the service here is acceptable, with the servers being on point, and the food wait-time being low. Exploring the various food options, the menus are offered up front in a stack. Glancing over the menu will offer you options like calzones, pizzas, appetizers, pasta, and more. For those who don't want a hot meal, but instead want a cool or ready-to-eat meal there is a refrigerated zone that offers premade plant-based salads, or pasta-based salads. Either way, in all honesty, the food tastes above average and the wait time for your food is pretty acceptable, compared to other larger brands. In conclusion, Genovas Pizza Station is an all-round specs Italian restaurant that provides great options for all kind of Italian lovers, and great service.

Showing how big the Meat Lover Stromboli is
Sherrie K.

I've been craving a meat lovers stromboli so I ordered takeout. When the order arrived I was pleasantly surprised by how big it was and held up well during the delivery. One thing I would say I'd change is how it was packed. It was left slightly open due to having cups on sauce in the pizza box. It would have been better if the sauce came in a paper bag and the pizza box was taped shut. Now back to the positive... the stromboli was delicious. I especially loved the cheese and there was decent about of meat. The sauce was also very tasty. I will definitely return to try other options and of course get another stromboli. I

Chicken parmigiana
May-May R.

First time trying this newly opened pizza/Italian space and I will say that all the employees and staff are super nice and helpful. There is seating inside and they also have a nice patio - you order at the counter and if dining inside, they'll bring your order to the table. The food seemed to be hit or miss and I regret not getting pizza - they were really busy with take-out orders and every single one of them was pizza or subs. I had the spaghetti with meat sauce and the sauce was really sweet and some spice was really overpowering for me. My friend had the chicken parmigiana and said it was okay - not the best but edible. My husband had the eggplant parmigiana sub and said it was so delicious! We'll definitely be back to try the pizza - it looked so good and definitely seemed to be the most popular choice.

Large cheese pizza
Krystal K.

We ordered a large cheese pizza and a large white pizza without the veggies on top. Both were pretty good! The crust was a bit softer than I would've liked, but had a nice texture overall. Wasn't chewy. The red sauce on the cheese pie was very sweet and tasted like they hadn't cooked the sugars off. The white pizza was good too. Not overly salty. The pizzas were ready fast and they travelled well. I'd like to try some of their other menu items.

Lasagna
Ronnie J.

The pizza here is decent and the Alfredo is good, so they get a couple stars from us. However, wow that was the most off red sauce we've ever had. They lose two stars for me because the sauce for the spaghetti, lasagna, and rigatoni was just odd. It's a very different red sauce with a sour flavor that tastes like it's got some kind of cream in it. Definitely not the tomato based sauce we're used to; the kids flat out wouldn't eat it.

The Small Deluxe pie in the box.

Genovas was my favorite pizza parlor in Richmond but tonight I'm disgusted! I ordered a small Deluxe pizza with very light peppers no mushrooms. I got a pie with extra peppers I told them and They said it would be fixed but what I got next because the place was crowded was a smaller pie with hardly any sausage or onions and when I told them the pie looked smaller I was told that was a small. Now, I've been coming to Genovas since they open and got all three sizes of pies and regular 2 slice pizza comb. So you can't tell me this was a small pie that I paid $15.00 for. The slice doesn't even fill up a plateHere's a picture of the pie, and here's a picture of a slice from that pie on a full size plate.

Genova's Pizza Station stands out in the maze of pizza restaurants in the Richmond area. The tomato sauce is the best.
Stephen W.

The pizza sauce really stands out. The calamari is as good as I've had.Genova's Pizza Station is well worth a try.

Deceptive pricing. The online price is different from what you pay at the restaurant. And the customer service was terrible.

We entered and were greeted with " do you have a reservation" in a very un-inviting tone. We both said no. If she said follow me, it was faint. We knew to follow her. I should have walked out !!! The Restaurant was practically empty !! Maybe a total of 20. We walked up a small ramp that lead us to a larger dining area where we saw a few guests. At our table standing was a youthful warm smile waiting that made us feel ok to stay. I overheard someone calling the name of the woman at the door, and they said Patricia. Our server's name was Jocelyn and she was very delightful. Our server made suggestions and explained that most of the pasta is made in house. Still observing and listening. OMG, the woman is the manager. Mam, I'm sure you will be pleased to know that we will NOT return. She walked by several times smiling and conversing warmly with other guests. This is an authentic looking and a bit dated Italian Restaurant. I'll be brief here. I had the spaghetti and meat sauce. The pasta had that obvious taste of homemade and the sauce as well. The bread was homemade with the potential to be good, if it was warm and soft, not crunchy. I had the salad packaged to go. Appetizer was fried zucchini that was golden brown, crunchy and flavorful. RVA has MANY Choices of restaurants to choose and I should've known better.

I ordered the basil smash off the special menu, which was so fresh and delicious. We started with the fig & prosciutto crostini from the special menu, which was so tasty. I ordered the ravioli carbonara, which was pretty good, although I thought the sauce was a little thin, and my bf got the mezzi rigatoni ragu, which he enjoyed. The star was the dessert. We got the chocolate molten lava cake with berry compote and the vanilla panna cotta. When brought to our table, our server also brought a small sauce pan of chocolate sauce to drizzle over the top of each. Both were so rich and delicious, I couldn't pick a favorite. Service was quick and very friendly and the restaurant was cozy and warm. Can't wait to return to try more of their pasta, and have the desserts again!

I'd heard amazing things about Lost Letter for a while and I was so happy we got to visit recently…read more We went for a special occasion and it felt like the right vibes we were looking for. The menu is small but feels very curated. We started with the bread, fried olives, and squash escabeche. Even something as simple as the bread was so tasty. We each kept a piece to eat with our entrees. The flavors in the fried olives and squash dishes were awesome. For dinner, I got the gnudi and my husband got the cavatelli. We were both so happy with our choices. We made sure to have room for dessert and the caprese cake and gelato were incredible - not too heavy but super delicious. We were also impressed with the service - they were all very friendly, cleaned our tables and refreshed our silverware between courses, and refolded our napkins if we got up to go to the bathroom. It's definitely not a place we could come all the time but is wonderful for a special experience.

I can't believe it's been almost a year since our last visit. This time we got a spot on the patio…read moreand loved it. The weather was a balmy 72° at 6:30 PM and slightly overcast which made the patio the perfect place. A very serene setting for a sophisticated meal. I highly recommend the patio, but you need to plan way in advance. Even on a Wednesday night. And definitely get there early because parking is a bear. I don't mind the walk, but anybody with mobility challenges, might find it tough to get there on time unless they can get dropped off. For cocktails our friends got a very swanky bottle of white wine by Cinque Terre. My husband and I got mixed drinks : the Italian stallion and the ciao fantasy. Very different experiences, but both very good. The Italian stallion was complex yet refreshing and the ciao fantasy was complex and smooth. For appetizers, we got the beef tartare and the Borlatti farro verde. Again, both very different but equally delicious. The tartar obviously more a protein forward appetizer that had a smooth richness brought out by the egg and the well chopped beef. The extra sourdough was a nice touch. The Borlatti was the perfect starter for a spring evening and I actually enjoyed it more than my entrée. It has a lightness to it, but also richly satisfying, especially with the sourdough. For the entrées, we went back to our favorites from last time which was the cavatappi and the rockfish. I enjoyed the cavatappi more but I was trying to get more protein and less simple carbs so I stuck with the rock fish. This time the fish was not a great piece and had very little edible protein because of the bloodline running down the center of it, so for $38 it felt a bit stingy because I needed more of the fish than the slightly over spiced rice and sausage. Did not feel like a good choice for the evening. I did not finish and went back to my appetizer to satisfy any hunger pains left. Definitely disappointed that there was no specials for the evening and a lot of the menu seems pretty similar to the last time we were there. Also seems like fewer choices at least for the small plates. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and again really enjoyed the atmosphere. However. Everything seems overpriced these days but even though prices haven't shifted that much at LL on this occasion, $172 after tax but before tip seemed a bit much for Richmond. Feels like everything is a few dollars over what the price point should be especially if it's not done to perfection. We will probably go back but not for a long while bc of price but also because of menu options. There are several restaurants in Church Hill that bring more bang for your buck.

We arrived on a Thursday around 8, and the parking situation was dire (as always around Cary St.)…read morewith on-street parking. At least Dinamo's is on a corner, so there are a few parking options. We managed to get a close spot, thankfully. The restaurant was bustling and buzzing with life when we stepped in. There was no hostess stand, so we hovered around the entrance awkwardly, wondering where we should be, waiting for the fast-thinking servers and bartenders to find us a spot. This is likely due to the limited seating space, and it works until your party is larger--definitely call ahead if that's the case. We were seated at a two-top in the crevice between the bar and the kitchen. The aromas of the smoke-filled room captivate us, our imaginations conjuring different dishes. We quickly received our waters, place settings, and menus, as the servers dutifully helped each other where they could. I decided on the brocoletti (noodles that look like onions) with beans, sausage, and polenta. My partner ordered the plain white pizza. We received some complimentary bread as we waited for the meal. We used the olive oil, salt, and pepper at the table to give it a little pizzazz. My dish arrived scaldingly hot, so be careful with the polenta especially. The beans and sausage were perfectly seasoned, with the brocoletti noodles taking on the flavors of the dish's other ingredients. The white pizza was punchy, the parmesan being the star of the show. The crust was soft and chewy with a bit of crisp. We boxed up half of our meals, leftovers to enjoy again later, and we opted to try the chocolate tort with the cherries and cream. The cherries should not be optional here, IMO. They take the dessert from beautiful and delicate to decadent. The chocolate tort was delicate; the cherry glaze and depitted cherries pushed my taste buds to their limit. It is a simply wonderful concoction; hence the reason for forgetting to take its photo (remnant plate and spoons pictured). Our experience at Dinamo's was fabulous from beginning to end. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a curated American/Italian menu (with some seafood specials mixed in) lovingly cultivated by the chefs. I look forward to revisiting Dinamo's in the future to explore its other specialized menu items.

We ordered a beet and fennel salad - and now, that is a salad. The beets were fresh (I've had canned beets in salads before but this was fresh), and the fennel was crunch, mild, and texturely satisfying in contrast with the soft beets, the dressing was well coated but not drenching the salad. Could have eaten the salad all day but then the entrees came: Squid ink fettuccine with calamari and shrimp -- it was so fresh I could not eat it for a few minutes, massive entree, fettuccine tasted like it was made in house, so flavorful and rich Sausage with polenta -- my first time trying polenta in solid form, tastes a bit like if rice and corn combined, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sausage was good too Also the complimentary bread was excellent, crunchy exterior soft interior, especially dipped in the pasta sauce Recommendations: making a reservation (you have to call), we made the mistake of assuming it being a cold rainy Sunday, we could do a walk in at the bar, but ended up walking in the rain for about an hour - well worth the wait Affordability: ~$25-30/entree Ambiance: it's pretty small and easy to bump into people on accident, but very cozy ambiance with deep red color theme Service: great, no issues! Good for: date night, celebration, when you just want good food
