loved my experience! me and my friend shared two of the specials, the black linguine and the pappardelle lamb ragu and both were phenomenal! I reheated mine the day after in a pan with some chili flakes and it was just as good! as someone quite particular about espresso martinis, i LOVED theirs! no cream added into the martini but the froth on top was smooth and creamy on its own just how i like it! would recomend this place to any and everyone! also our server was very friendly and attentive!! we believe his name was david but we cant remember exactly, all in all, great spot!

Tremendous experience overall. Bread service was sort of needed as the restaurant was quite busy but was enjoyed quite a bit. Both the ravioli and the lamb ragú were incredible. Wine and drinks were great and our server was more than willing to offer suggestions or pairings with our meal. I enjoyed the environment quite a bit inside as it definitely harkened back to a time in the past. I would absolutely return here during my next trip to Richmond.

I absolutely love Gersi! This family owned establishment is perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. The food is impeccable and the staff makes you feel like you’re at home. The inside is quaint and cozy and bursting with life! this past time I got the mussels and tiramisu! Both absolutely delicious! It’s a must go to in richmond!

Gersi is at the top of the pack if you are looking for a fantastic Italian restaurant in Richmond. Cozy and crowded. Great vibe. There are a few outdoor tables. Definitely make a reservation. The service was excellent and very responsive - extra shout out to Dan, behind the bar, who took care of our every need. The wine list is modest, and perhaps at the top end of pricing, but they do have a selection of some nice Italian reds. Every dish was delicious - and the portions are generous. Their burrata was perfect consistency with great taste. Don’t miss trying some of their homemade pasta dishes - the rigatoni was amazing, and the calamari with black fettucini out of this world!! We will definitely be back! Save us seats at the bar, Dan!

Came here one weeknight with co-workers as we all like Italian food. The reviews for this place were great and making a reservation was easy the same day, just a few hours ahead of time, which kind of worried us, as we figured if they were that good, it wouldn’t have been so easy to get a same day reservation for four people. Well, we were wrong – this place was amazing! Service was excellent and friendly. The décor and atmosphere was romantic, quaint, and dimly lit. The menu was loaded with so many appetizing items! They make their pastas in-house and they do a fantastic job with them. The chicken parm was really good, pounded thin, but still very flavorful and moist. The sauce was excellent too. Their table bread was accompanied by cannellini beans with a spicy herb dressing, these were incredibly good! They have avery nice wine list too. And clearly we lucked out with the reservation because by the time we left, they were packed, inside and outside. Definitely suggest stopping in, but make a reservation!
