Patting the robot
Sam S.

It was great! First of all, it doesn't look like much in the outside. We probably would have driven past if my phone didn't take us down some back streets. But inside it looks beautiful! So much time and effort were put into it. The owner or manger was so nice. The food tasted great, we got the tour of Italy. And got it delivered to our table by a KITTY CAT ROLLING ROBOT!!!! We will be back with the husband just because of that. And it was so CLEAN! Visit. It's worth it

Large chicken caesar salad and fries
Liz B.

Came here for lunch before my flight! I would describe the interior as diner-esque. Food did take a little bit of time to come out so we were there for about 1 hr and 15 mins but I had the time. I got a large chicken caesar salad with the dressing on the side which was huge and really good! I also split the fries which came out super crispy but needed salt added to it. Food came out on a little robot which was cute but a little gimmicky. Overall not bad and I'd come back!

Roberto Special with jalapeño added
J E.

Was in the area, dropping a friend off at the airport and I was really in the mood for pizza, so I checked the interwebs and found this place - the reviews were great so we stopped in. They actually have real Italian food made and served by real Italians! I say that because many places these days are owned/run by others who know how to make Italian cuisine, but most all the time, they don't do it very well. This place definitely knows how to do it very well!! I got a large "Roberto Special" pizza with jalapeño added. Also got a chicken marsala and a chicken parm... friend ate the marsala and loved it. We both absolutely loved the pizza! I tried the chicken parm later for dinner and it was really good! Nice size chicken breasts and a very tasty sauce. They even have a robot that helps the servers deliver food to the table, such a fun thing to watch! Highly recommend stopping in... I'll definitely be back when in the area!

Spaghetti

The food was great! The service was a little slow but our server was nice. They also had these robots that bought out the food which was a funny touch. My friends and I ate and sat and talked for hours so it's a nice vibe.

Calzone
Aaron A.

Don't let the faded sign fool you. Roberto is updated and very nice inside. They even have a robotic cat to run the food, complete with music. Seriously, the thing was a riot and brought joy to the dining room and a sense of occasion to food delivery. The portions on every plate it brought by the table were huge. We had the calzone, and it was more than two men could eat. It was delicious, not overly greasy like some calzones can be. The vegetables inside also tasted incredibly fresh. Awesome!

Personal Pizza Lunch Special

Great customer service, made me feel welcome. And food was good! Traveling the country for work, got stationed in Richmond so searched for highly rated places to try out and this was one of them. Did not disappoint. Will go again

Pizza
Gregory B.

I stopped by this place since it was nearby my hotel. It's a relaxed spot with plenty of Italian offerings. I ended up going with the pizza. The pizza was decent and got the job done. It's definitely not on the level of anything close to a New York style, but it satisfied all my hunger. I was also pleased with the house salad, which was fresh and filling. Overall, I'd give me a 3.5, with the extra bump for the friendly customer service. The next time I'm in town, I will consider revisiting to try some of the other Italian dishes.

Baked ziti, shrimp appetizer, Italian bread. Excellent!
Maria M.

Food was delicious, appetizer was tasty and crispy too. The owner was wonderful, and our robotic server was a hoot! Added charm and a nice touch. The pasta sauce was homemade and the bread warm, crusty And soft, just the way I as an Italian want it! The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish! The place was clean and service excellent! Thank you for a great meal away from home!

Baked Ziti with added mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and extra cheese! Side of sautéed spinach.

This is my favorite restaurant in Richmond. Alex and staff make us feel right at home. The food is excellent. My only complaint is the large portions, lol it's so good I want to finish it all right then. :)

Visited Richmond for a volleyball tournament weekend and we wanted some pizza & wings. I always check Yelp for reviews when in a new area and based on reviews this was the spot for some local good pizza! Spot on with the pizza. It was delicious and not too greasy at all! Ordered for pickup and walked in admiring all of the art on the wall. The owner said it was a customer and that his family also supports her beautiful art work at home. I would definitely come back again and try other things. Service was great, helped take the food to the car and the pizza was good. Wings were okay because we ordered hot wings and they weren't hot at all but still tastie. I would definitely try again because I think the restaurant is authentic and serves great pizza for not being located up north. Born and raised in NJ so having good pizza in Richmond was nice!!

Linguine with Clam Sauce
Scott W.

Let me start off by saying that every time I post a review, I feel like that episode of South Park. I mean none of us are food critics. We just have an opinion on what we like. I'm not such a narcissist that I believe anyone should take my opinion into account. I'm just a foodie. I'm staying at the hotel down the street and I was reading on yelp for local restaurants and this was like a half a mile away so I figured I'd give it a shot because I love Italian food . I saw on yelp where this restaurant offered delivery and that is not the case. I had to go pick the food up myself, which is no big deal. The restaurant is located in the parking lot of an old, rundown hotel. don't let that scare you. The restaurants are pretty cool little place it's got photos of famous gangsters and Italian mafia types inside. It's also got a cool little robot waiter that buzzes around the restaurant that actually scared the shit out of me LMAO. First off, I gave this a four star rating, that's only because yelp doesn't let me give it a 3 1/2 star rating. I made my order by phone while I was sitting out in my truck and I spoke to the owner owner directly who is genuinely very nice. I try to support small businesses in every area when it comes to the restaurant scene. I travel extensively for work and I eat out more than most people, seriously like 20 days a month. I ordered " The Tour of Italy" which is Baked Spaghetti, Lasagna, Manicotti and Chicken Parmigiana. I also ordered Linguine with White Clam. I requested extra garlic on everything. I don't think the cooks in the kitchen got the memo on the extra garlic, because there was none. I compare every Italian place to those that I eat at in Chicago or New Jersey. I know that's a high bar but it's what I like. I don't want to compare them to the Italian I ate when I lived in Europe I think that would be unfair. For the greater majority of people, this would be really good Italian, I mean it's not the Holy Grail by any sense of the imagination it's just good decent food. If you're a fan of the Olive Garden, then this is your place. It's pretty basic Italian food with no extreme taste or flavors. The prices are decent and the portions are very good sized. I was not disappointed. I was just not impressed. Hey, give the place a shot if you're in town you could eat at a lot worse places. I said the owner was very nice so you should support your local restaurant scene.
