Gersi RVA

One of my favorite Italian spots! The fresh pasta is outstanding and clearly made with care. The service is consistently attentive and welcoming which makes every visit enjoyable. While located in RVA, Gersi has a true New York City feel—energetic and bustling. Seating is on the tighter side, and it can get quite loud, so it's not the place for a quiet conversation. But if you're looking for authentic Italian food in a vibrant setting, it's well worth the visit. What we tried this visit: *Handmade Tagllatalle Bolgenses *Handmade Pappardelle Pasta with Chicken Milanese *Proscuito with fresh parm and pears My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

We love Gersi, the homemade pasta I had was fantastic, with fresh asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and peas. The staff is attentive and though it gets crowded, the volume is manageable at a smaller table. Amazing Italian option!

Gersi is a must visit restaurant if you are in Richmond, 10/10 on all fronts. The establishment itself is well maintained with interesting art and eye catching patterns that are put together in a visually pleasing manner. The servers were all incredibly patient and knowledgeable about the menu, which was very helpful when ordering. The food is truly the STAR OF THE SHOW. You can tell the pasta is handmade in house and is made to order. Our food came to the table hot and steaming, which is rare. Their drink selection is unique and combines many popular items to make tasteful cocktails and mocktails, I recommend the Lavender Honeybee. Make sure to visit this place if you are ever in the area, you will never be disappointed!!

Overall worth the visit! The steak was actually the winner here. The appetizers were fantastic also; I would definitely recommend the fried goat cheese, Caesar salad and the fig bruschetta. Everyone else got pasta which they seemed to enjoy. It's a small spot but ambience was pretty nice! Espresso martini was espresso-forward and tasted great as well

Pretty bad experience from start to finish my first time at Gersi. We had a reservation at 7:30 and did not get seated until after 8:30 since there was a party lounging at our table that did not want to leave (and I suppose the staff did not want to ask them to leave even after paying the bill, either). We stood outside for over an hour before someone asked if we wanted to come in and sit at the bar. We ordered one drink at the bar and waited an additional 30 minutes before we were seated. For our troubles, they offered us a singular slice of toast with tomatoes on top for our party of six. Hilarious. After being seated, we waited probably another 30 minutes (three hours after our reservation time) until we were able to place our orders. The food was good, but not worth waiting three hours for. When the check came, they charged us for the “free” bruschetta they offered as a consolation prize and doubled each of the drinks we ordered at the bar. Our waiter was very frustrated to have to fix this mistake, and it took him three separate tries to fix the check for us. We wasted several hours of our life here for some regular tasting pasta. The highlight was actually the desserts, which
