The Giambancos Italian Grill

My wife had previously visited this restaurant on a girls' night out and recommended that our family give it a try. This is not your average pizza place, although they do serve pizza. As soon as we walked in, I could tell it was different from other places by the professional attire of the wait staff. We were seated promptly and our waiter, Brandon, was very knowledgeable about the menu and took our drink orders. My wife and I had beer while my son tried a Fireball Margarita made with Tequila and Fireball Whiskey, which I was hesitant about until I tried it myself - highly recommended! Brandon was attentive to my food allergies and quickly sought out the information I needed. For appetizers, we ordered the Tomato Bruschetta, which was delicious. Our main dishes arrived all at once and were hot, beautifully presented, and tasted amazing. The portions were generous, with my wife and son needing to take leftovers home. When offered dessert, my son chose the cheesecake with a strawberry glaze, which he couldn't finish and had to take half home. Overall, this restaurant provided more than just a meal - it was an experience. The atmosphere and quality of food made me feel as though I was in Italy. While it's not fine dining, it is more upscale in terms of presentation. You don't need to dress up to appreciate the fantastic food and overall experience. I definitely plan on returning to try more dishes, and I also want to mention they have a Tap Room available, although we didn't have a chance to try it.

I placed a pre-order for takeout but it was delayed by 30 minutes past the requested time. The pizza was the worst I've ever had. I only managed to eat one slice before throwing the rest away.

The food was excellent, especially the bread. The delivery was quick. I ordered the pasta with vegetables and it was delicious.

Quite possibly the best Italian food in the Richmond area, but 100% the best in the RVA suburbs (and, yes, I know Edo's Squid . My go to is the Penne Giuseppe I get the full portion so I have lunch for 1 2 days after. The flavors are incredible and Wednesday is half off appetizers and bottles of wine. It's a family owned restaurant and they are a wonderful family and a huge supporter of the community. For Old Fashioned lovers, they will come to your table and smoke yours with your choice of wood. Don't hesitate to visit whenever you're craving Italian!

I wish this place was in my town! My son and I do fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp in many fine Italian restaurants- this place has the best sauce! Service was outstanding- my waitress, named Cindy has a bubbly personality and very attentive. Highly recommend this place- and Cindy too!
