Best Italian Restaurants in Midlothian

We have a lovely private birthday celebration. We sat on patio and the ambience was very nice.

Outstanding food and service above and beyond!! Jeremy is the best waiter I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. He expertly prepared cocktails for all in our party and effectively entertained us while informing on menu and specials. He seemed more of a trusted friend than a waiter. I can strongly recommend La Grotta for both food and outstanding service!

Pizza is good and a good value! Cool place with plenty of space for kids and dogs without interrupting others’ enjoyment! Caesar salad is outstanding. Parking is a bit tight but plentiful. Kids loved the open field atmosphere.

My my cognac, chicken and cream entrée was excellent. The side dish, au gratin potatoes contained gluten which I cannot eat, so I told the server and they substituted a very generous portion of a gluten-free pasta with my selected sauce. It was my wife’s birthday so they comped our first drinks.  it was an all-around wonderful experience: great food, great service, great atmosphere. We will definitely be going back. 

This is one of the top restaurants in RVA. Consistently excellent dishes fit for the season. Strong cocktail choices. Delicious wine list. And attentive service. A true gem.
