This gem in Richmond is absolutely worth visiting! My husband and I took a chance on this Italian / Greek restaurant and everything was so delicious! We're started out by sharing the Spanakopita appetizer. The pastry was warm right out of the oven and the yogurt with spices made the dish simply mouthwatering! Our main course selections of shrimp kabob and Greek pasta were prepared to perfection. Now onto the drinks...our margaritas were the BEST! We were able to have them made with our favorite 1800 tequila which only enhanced the flavor. My husband and I felt forced to order a second round of them!! The service was excellent. Our waitress Kelsey possessed such a pleasant and effervescent personality which made our visit that much more fun! The decor was tasteful and layout of tables was such that one did not feel too crowded or confined. This restaurant may be about 45 minutes from our home but well worth the drive! We encourage everyone in the Richmond area to take a chance on a culinary adventure unlike any other at this incredible restaurant the Grape and Vine! read more

The dessert was delish. The food was just ok. My chicken piccata was just a really strange piece of chicken. Didn't seem very good quality. The inside was cozy and honesty really cute. The wait staff was great and the owner was really friendly. I will probably give this place a second chance due to that. read more

The Grapevine - Italian Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Is it possible for me to write a better review than I did last year? Definitely not. The food here is spectacular. The portion sizes are insane for the price point. You simply cannot get this good of a meal for that price anymore. Again, this place stands out for more than the food. Th service here is impeccable and not easily replicated. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment I was inside this establishment. If I was working for a University I would recommend any of them that offer a hospitality degree to come here and see how they operate. It is next level and each team member, including the owner, makes you feel like family. My only gripe is that they need a second location or a larger one cause getting a table can be troublesome. The cat is out of the bag. This place rules. Will be coming back. read more

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic, spot. Period. Only reason this isn't 5 stars is that I'm quite stingy on giving 5 stars. That said... Service is unmatched. Last time I went here the place was pretty dang busy and I was still made to feel like I was family. From the host to the bartender to the manager, service is outstanding. Moving on...food is super duper. I can't/won't recommend any specific dishes as they're all solid. Super solid. And now into ambiance- Grapevine feels welcoming, inviting, jovial. This overlaps with the service quality, but you just feel like you need/want to eat/party when you're there. Don't believe it? Suit yourself. And try it for yourself... read more

After COVID, I always go to a restaurant with the mindset that the service and the food will not both be great it's usually one or the other.... But this place blew my mind. From the moment we came in and were waiting, the owners were offering beverages before we were even seated. I thought that really showed amazing customer service. As vegetarians sometimes going to restaurants can be tricky to find options but Grapevine has plenty of vegetarian items on the menu and also will accommodate any custom needs. We got the Vodka Pasta and replaced the chicken with vegetables. My favorite part was the hummus. It was so tasty and smooth, you could taste the flavor in every bite. I even took some to go because I liked it so much. The owner was very involved and came around multiple times to ask if we needed anything and how the food tasted. My parents are business owners themselves so they really appreciated someone who was so hands on. We were all so highly impressed and will definitely be back. For anyone planning to go, I'd suggest calling ahead and getting your name on the priority seating waitlist. You will still wait but it helps if you are on this list. read more

The complementary bread is very good and you can get endless baskets of it. The mocktail was also very flavorful. I believe it was a lavender drink with some fruit flavoring. I definitely will get it again very refreshing. The chicken Parmesan was good. Only thing I would change is the noodles were very watery, but the chicken was seasoned very well. And my favorite the salad was very good. Caesar is the best way to go. People I went with love their pizza and definitely said they will return. The service was very good and he was very attentive and the decoration was very nice and gave an old century vibe. 7/10 read more

Came to The Grapevine based on a recommendation, and they did not disappoint. I had the Spaghetti and Meatball special and it was very tasty. Our server was very friendly and attentive.

Words cannot express how great Grapevine is. From the moment my wife, daughter, and I walked in. We started with an order of Calamari and Cheese sticks. My wife and daughter ordered the Baked Vegetable Spaghetti with salad. I ordered the Baked Manicotti with salad. It was my wife and daughters' 2nd time there, and my 1st time. The staff was above and beyond personable, attentive, and very gracious. Grapevine may become our go to dinner spot at least once a month. What I thought it looked like on the inside was definitely not what I expected. It had areas for every style of dining, from single patrons to large group seating. A 10/10 with 5 stars read more

You know that feeling when you walk into a place and immediately think, "Wow, these people really know what they're doing"? That's Grapevine. The moment we stepped inside, the heavenly aroma set the tone. To say they were busy would be an understatement--they were hosting a massive corporate holiday party, accommodating several large groups of 9-10, and tending to their regular patrons. Yet, their customer service never faltered. Seriously, 11 out of 10. From the hostess to our waitress, the pianist, the drummer, and every staff member we encountered, everyone was incredibly kind and gracious. I felt immersed in the welcoming culture of Grapevine. And the food? WOW. Our party of six loved every single bite. The bread with oil and spices was chef's kiss. The spanakopita was perfectly light and refreshing, and the homemade Grecian dressing? So good! Now, let's talk main courses. I had Poseidon's Alfredo, and it did not disappoint. Restaurants sometimes over-season, but Grapevine let the creamy Alfredo sauce shine, perfectly complemented by tender shrimp and scallops. My fiancé got the gyro sandwich (which he loved), but those fries--WOW. I'd go back just for the fries alone. For ambiance, we sat near the live music, and it was incredible. The pianist could sing, and the music was just loud enough to enjoy without overpowering table conversations. Add in the Christmas decorations, and it felt like stepping into a Hallmark movie. We were so stuffed we couldn't even try dessert, but we'll definitely be back. If you haven't tried Grapevine yet, go. They will NOT disappoint! read more

The Grapevine has become known in my area as one of the better overall restaurants. It has been in business for 20+ years. They have great food, service and atmosphere! They can also serve a large group... For example, me and about 100 of my friends and their + ones and aquaitances celebrated New Year's and had an incredible NYE party there. Dine with confidence at the grapevine and expect to leave full wearing a smile! A Staple read more

We had an amazing dinner here. Food and service were excellent!! We will define be back again.

I recently hosted a luncheon for a group of women at the Grapevine. Everyone had a wonderful experience. The room was very private and the table set up was just right for both conversations and business discussion. The food was good, the price affordable, and the service attentive.

Great Food and Service!! They are so good they can close on Sunday and Monday to give their staff decent time off.

Delicious Italian and Greek! Check out the wine list for sure, and the service here is always great.

Very popular family run restaurant serving Greek and Italian dishes. I met a friend for dinner around 5:45pm and there was a crowd waiting to be seated. Our wait wasn't too long thankfully. There are several different rooms, each decorated differently, but all with Mediterranean themes. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. I got the chicken parmigiana, which came with baked spaghetti and a side salad. It was very tasty and the portion size was generous. The dessert cart looked amazing, but I had no room for anything else-the waitress mentioned that her son always orders dessert first. I may have to try that next time. The restaurant started to clear out around 8:00pm, so if you don't want to wait, that's the time to come. read more

The Grapevine - Chicken parmigiana with baked spaghetti. So cheesy! - Italian Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The service was outstanding! The dinner rolls were amazing and the mozzarella sticks were pretty good. I ordered the chicken parmigiana with grilled chicken instead of breaded. It was good but the sauce was very watery. Others in my party ordered the wedding soup, ziti Alfredo, and a salmon dish. They were all very satisfied with their choices. I will return when visiting the area again. read more

The best Galentines experience! Our server Kelsey made this night so enjoyable. She was responsive, helpful, and an overall delight. The food is always delicious at Grapevine and this evening was no different. Suggest that you sit in Kelsey's section as she made it worth it. read more

What a fabulous family owned restaurant! It is spectacularly decorated throughout, very true to the Greek/Italian theme. The staff were so so kind and attentive- I watched several families get greeted by name and loved that. I arrived at 5:45PM on a Saturday for dinner and waited about 20 minutes (you can't call ahead). It was busy but they were organized. We enjoyed the chicken Parmigiana and eggplant Parmigiana with baked spaghetti, and I also loved the caprese salad I ordered. Everything was delicious. I will most definitely be back for dessert! The later hours had no wait- if you arrive after 7:45PM for a late dinner, you'd be seated immediately. read more

The Grapevine has been around since I was in middle school '94-'96 so I have seen the Trak family in action for a while. An always welcoming atmosphere that made for great date nights and special occasions place. I was in for the surprise of my life time when my (now)wife and I decided to host our wedding reception. The respect and attention to what we wanted our space to look was their number one priority. They worked with us, and I mean WITH us from start to finish as they were cleaning up WITH us making sure we had everything packed in our car as we left. During the preparation Rita, sat with me and Jacqueline and helped us construct the perfect atmosphere for us and our guests. And when I mean worked with us three of the waitstaff stayed until 12 midnight with the rest of us to set up for the next day. They did most of the coordinating with our cake shop to insure proper delivery and set up times. And in all the bustle of our day we didnt notice until at the end that my wifes wedding dress(that had gotten wet when it rained on us)was leaving muddy streaks on the floor behind her as she was going to greet all our family and guests. One of the waitresses had not only been serving our guests but as Jacqueline walked around she had a towel under her foot that she had been using to discreetly clean up the mud that was unknowingly being smeared across the floor. THAT is class, THAT is respect and THAT folks is professionalism at its absolute finest! And the kicker to all of this was that we got married in October of 2020 when COVID was in full swing. Grapevine was able to step in and step up when the rest of the world couldn't. Thank you for putting aside a pandemic and wanting to make our wedding as normal and as special as we never thought we could get!! read more

The Grapevine - Our wedding setup that the Grapevine so graciously let us use even though it was October 2020 and COVID was in full swing. - Italian Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This was a really good Greek/Italian spot. We started with the flaming cheese. Highly recommend it if you've never had it at any Greek restaurant before. I ordered the baked spaghetti and my girlfriend ordered the chicken Alfredo. The baked spaghetti ended up being a little lackluster from what I was expecting in my head. It really just tasted like cheap grocery store spaghetti with meat sauce and cheese that was baked in the oven. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo was definitely better. I ordered a Greek beer and it was good and light. The service was pretty good here. Our waitress was attentive and got us anything we needed. The ambiance was super cozy. It had a bunch of Greek and Italian decorations all over the restaurant and patio. We ate outside on the covered patio and it was beautifully setup. I liked the vines and decorations they had setup. We're not Richmond natives but we'd recommend it to anyone who is. We probably would get Greek food if we came back in the future to see if it is better than the Italian. read more

Came in on a Wednesday during lunch and ordered the Mother Mary Special ($14). It was a spaghetti dish with grilled chicken, feta, mozzarella cheese. The pasta was cooked very well and tasted buttery and cheesy on top. Chicken was seasoned well and moist. This was a big serving where you could have enough leftover for a second meal. Staff and interior was nice. A very nice Italian/Greek restaurant to go. Overall a great experience here, I would definitely come back again to try other dishes!

You would never expect a Greek restaurant to have some of the best pizza around, but the Grapevine does not disappoint. They have a dedicated gluten free menu, which includes their pizzas. The grilled chicken was absolutely delicious and and they don't skimp on the toppings. I highly recommend giving it a try. The restaurant has an upscale casual vibe, lots of space inside, and friendly staff. I'm looking forward to returning and trying other items on the menu. read more

I will always choose Grapevine. The food is incredible every single time, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. What truly sets it apart is how Mitchell Trak treats us -- he always makes us feel like family from the moment we walk in. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it's why this place will always have my loyalty. read more

I recently went to this lovely restaurant a few days ago on Thursday. I had not visited in years but was definitely still impressed with everything! I travel for a living and when I'm here at home, I still love to venture out and seek new restaurants or places I've not been too for a while . The grapevine has absolutely excellent staff and food! The two wonderful bartenders who assisted me are not only gifted with top hospitality skills but they know the menu and offer great advice. My outing started with the flaming cheese appetizer. Delicious! I selected the Greek spaghetti for entree and it was prepared with the best ingredients and absolutely perfect. My tiramisu for dessert was the perfect ending and one of the best I've ever had. The cocktails are top notch and special mention to my espresso martini! I will definitely be back soon and so excited to have discovered this restaurant again! If you are seeking great service, authentic prepared food and delicious drinks, seek no further. The grapevine has it all!! Opa!! read more

While the website indicated they didn't take reservations, I guess for mother's day they did? This review took a while because I thought I had already reviewed, but I'm still so happy with the experience. There was no answer by phone except for once when I was picked up but never greeted and after 3 minutes of listening to the sound of a busy restaurant, I went in person to ask for a table. It was the day before mothers day and apparently there was a wedding, other mothers, and a prom going on. Even with all that going on, the service was still incredible! We did have to wait about 2 hours for a table, but again, there was a lot going on that night. The bar was serving while we waited and both the drinks and food were excellent! Well worth the price! I also very much enjoyed the live music while we ate. It wasn't audible from outside or near the front, but where we were eating on the coveted terrace it was wonderful. read more

We arrived early in the evening, 4:55pm, they sat us out in the patio where it was hot & under a very loud fan. We asked to move inside, which means a different waitress so it took time to get us menus & order. The calamari app was pitiful, small portion. The salads were ok. After being pressured for desserts, which we declined, we kindly asked for the check, it took her 23 minutes to bring us our check. Then, another 9 minutes to run my card. Absolutely ridiculous! I know several managers & hostess & waitress walked by watching us sit there, taking up a booth, waiting for our check. It honestly ruined the entire experience. I was with family from NC and was mortified, I thought it was going to be a better experience. I've been eating here for years, it will be a long time before I ever go back. read more

The food was very good, the staff were friendly. Solid lasagna and salad. A member of our party ordered a kebab and enjoyed it. The only problem was the pacing: it was busy and took about an hour for the food to arrive. read more

Was at the Grapevine on August 14th with family. We were in Richmond for a graduation and went there to celebrate a recent birthday. The place was 5*! It was beautifully decorated with rustic brick, plants and fairy lights. The staff was extremely friendly and our waiter Reece, was awesome! I was most impressed that he took orders from the women at the table first! The food was excellent! Some had Greek cuisine and some had Italian. I had the Seafood Alfredo which was plentiful and delicious! The apps were great, the drinks were great and the dessert (I had tirimisu) was delicious! We had an awesome night and would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area! read more

I called today to order a gift card. The website said it could be done online but there was no option. I called right when they opened and was hung up on.

Do better, Grapevine. read more

We went here while visiting from out of state and are so happy we did! Free mocktails upon entering were a fun greeting!

We also read the story (found in the menu cover) behind the family who began and operates the restaurant and left loving it even more! read more

Great food very helpful services excellent customer service. Great ambiance . Very good food

Okay this restaurant was the perfect spot for our delayed Valentine's Day dinner. Not only is the inside adorable, cozy, and romantic, but the food was delicious! Everything was so delectable and there's plenty of options between meat and vegetarian that everyone should be pleased with their food. I loved my vegetable tray and the spanakopita was delicious. We splurged and got dessert as well- which was a little tricky to eat but well worth it because I love baklava and it was tasty. I also enjoyed reading about the restaurant's backstory - I love a family owned spot. And the owner or manager came and checked on our table / chatted with us. Overall, a marvelous experience for a date night. read more
