Azzurro - Henrico

The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding as well. The portion sizes are generous and somewhat expensive, but definitely worth the price. It took me a long time to discover this place, so I'm not sure how well-known it is. For dinner, I spent about $30–50 per person. Overall, I rate the food a 4, the service a 5, and the atmosphere a 4.

For dinner, I had a meal that cost between $50 and $100 per person. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing overall. The food was average, rating a 3 out of 5. However, the service was lacking, earning only a 1, and the atmosphere was equally underwhelming, also a 1. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

I absolutely love this restaurant for a wonderful dinner out! I've been here a few times, and while the dining room can get a bit loud in the evenings, it still maintains a fantastic atmosphere. Be sure to make a reservation. The pasta is consistently amazing, and you can really tell it’s homemade. The sauce on the lasagna is incredible—I often save the leftover sauce to enjoy with bread the next day!

The food service is excellent, and the atmosphere is fantastic. The staff is very capable and creates a welcoming environment. The lasagna ravioli is particularly outstanding!

They now enforce a 1 hour and 45-minute time limit for tables, yet we weren't informed of this until we arrived. When one of our group suggested that guests should be notified of this policy beforehand, she was met with a dismissive response, stating that most guests only take an hour. I'd like to see anyone manage to order, be served, and enjoy cocktails, an appetizer, an entrée, and dessert in just one hour. A two-hour limit would be much more reasonable if the goal is for patrons to savor their meal, though even that is pushing it given the slow service. Many aspects of our dining experience were beyond our control. Azzurro used to be my favorite Italian restaurant in Richmond, but it has now earned itself a spot off my list. We'll be searching for a new Italian restaurant for our birthday celebrations.
