Reviews for Arianna's Italian Grill Lakeside in Henrico, VA

Not sure if you know, but pizza is something that everyone needs right now. Luckily, this place is so good that they actually... make pizza and then give you it to eat! I think that's good. Read more

We used to get great delivery from Arianna's but times have changed. Not so fast on delivery, prices higher and the food not as... good. They add lots of costs to the delivery so it adds up. The last pizza was boring and a bit more than I wanted to pay. Ipicked it up from the takeout area and it was already not hot or even warm. I guess staffing is an issue. I will likely move on.

Great old school Italian classics. The pizza is top shelf too. Desserts are well done. Prices are reasonable.

I wish I could be more positive. The pros: The place has a nice, local spot feel and has the potential to be quite cozy, though... bereft of patrons, it comes across as a bit bleak. The food, at least what I got, was good. Not exceptional or unique, but notbad. The cons: You know something's wrong when the people running the Italian restaurant don't know their Italian wines. Iordered a glass of Montepulciano. Though listed on the menu, this was, apparently, something the waitress had never encountered,and it was also a bit disconcerting when the waitress didn't seem to recognize a dish named after the restaurant, ChickenArianna. Again, the food was ok. It seemed to stray a bit from the menu description, but it wasn't bad, but "wasn't bad" meansit didn't stand out, which is a little sad since I recall this place being quite good pre-pandemic. Maybe that's the culprit. Iknow many places have continued to struggle, and I've seen a "help wanted" sign out front for many months. I won't write thisplace off, but I'll probably come back only when there are few other available options. Read more

This is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. The food my fiance and I got was so very delicious!! We will... definitely be coming back again! Read more

They force you to order & pay extra for salad dressing when you order a salad online, but then they don't include it with the... food?? And the Buffalo chicken pizza was too disgusting for words. I'm so disappointed. It was too expensive for being garbagefood. Read more

Dined in today with my daughter and felt like we got special treatment. It was a late lunch on a Saturday and it wasn’t busy.... Waiter/chef was attentive and gave great recommendations. We had a Principessa pizza and some pasta. Magnificent! Not even abite of crust was wasted! Thank you for not disappointing. I recommend for friendly people that enjoy small restaurants. Read more

This place is the real deal!! Fresh, high quality ingredients. Crust made from scratch. You will not regret spending a few extra... dollars on this pizza compared to other spots. We ordered the garlic knots and principessa pizza and picked it up early. Thedough is clearly made fresh in house with a nice taste and delightful texture. High quality toppings included fresh spinach andmushrooms sauteed in olive oil. Sausage is uniquely sliced and delicious without being too heavy. Real, tasty olive oil on thegarlic knots with fresh garlic and lots of oregano. We've gotten Arianna's twice now and the quality will continue to bring usback. Everything is made of fresh, real food. Too often I order a cheap pizza that tastes like fake preservatives and chemicals,I dont know why I ever do that to myself when Arianna's is right here! As of this review I'm just not gonna waste my time withany other pizza. Arianna's, I will return soon!! Read more
