Reviews for AZZURRO in Richmond, VA
Azzuro is definitely my favorite Italian restaurant in Richmond. Their staff is top notch. The atmosphere is warm and... comforting. It reminds me of my favorite Italian restaurant in NYC. And their food....oh my gosh. It's amazing. Their freshingredients are front and center. And their Zachetti di Pere (pear and cheese pasta) is unforgettable. I highly recommend thisrestaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional evening. Read more

A large selection of average Italian food. The bread was disappointing. We had the calamari, which is fried, was not good,... vodka pasta was ok, and the veal Parmesan was nothing special. The tiramisu was good. Somewhat over priced especially for thequality. The best aspect of our visit was the ambiance. Service was ok, plenty of staff. Our waitress was on the snobby sideand a bit dismissive, but everyone else was delightful. Probably will not return, and would not recommend. Read more
I have to say, this was the worst meal I’ve had in a long time. Our server was very strange. I asked for one glass of wine... since I did not want to share a bottle with the group, but she ignored me and poured that bottle in my glass. She also was veryaloof, almost like she was drunk. The food runner was extremely rude. He slammed the food down on the table as he dropped it andwas noticeably annoyed when our group was figuring out who had what. For those prices, I would expect them to know who orderedwhat at a 10 person table. Also, the food was HORRENDOUS. The calamari was extremely chewy and had no seasoning. I honestly havehad better calamari from the freezer section at Lidl. I’m pretty sure they microwaved it, it wasn’t even crunchy. For myfood, it was extremely under seasoned. Actually, i don’t think there was any seasoning. I drowned it in Parmesan just to haveflavor. In addition to having no flavor, the chicken was SO DRY. My dish had cold mozzarella balls plopped on top, like it wasright out of the fridge. This meal would cost $5 and but at this “elevated dining restaurant” was $25!!! The only thing thatis elevated there are the prices. I will not even eat the leftovers, it was THAT horrible. It takes a lot for me to hate adining experience so much that I need to write a review about it. I don’t know if the chef was having an “off” day, butI’m sad my money went to this “fine dining” nightmare. Read more
Service has gone downhill lately. The wait staff has changed and overall quality is not as good. We waited a very long time for... a burnt pizza. Our server, was inattentive and slow. It shouldn’t take over 2 hours to have a meal at dinner. Verydisappointed in one of my favorite Richmond restaurants. Read more
When over there with some of our best friends and this was amazing. I’ve never tried a better lasagna in my whole life.... Definitely coming back! Read more
Nice, friendly, and helpful staff, music to fit the cuisine, and overall a bit above average food. Not impressive or a 'wow' or... a gotta go there location, but still an enjoyable experience. Some balsamic and olive oil with the tasty bread would have been anice start, just pats of butter instead. Entrees and apps were good but pretty average. 3.5 would be my rating if an option.

We went for our 7 year anniversary and we’re very disappointed. Our server was very sweet and the only reason this gets 3... stars. This was not fine dining. We poured our own water. The only thing fancy about this place is the table cloths. Read more
