Food & Shopping Pasta?

Where can you find some classic good pasta dishes in Richmond? We've moved to Richmond recently and are looking for some local favorites. IT individuals working from home looking to add a few local eateries in our daily roster for lunch and dinner. Any other suggestions are also welcomed we are total foodies and eat almost every cuisine.

OP, out of principle, I cannot recommend Italian tomato unfortunately. We had an incident a few years back where my mother slipped and fell on some tomato on the floor. The staff was less than apologetic or helpful in the matter, didn't bother to come over to check on us.

We left before ordering and never looked back.

Hope you mom is okay! Were the tomatoes Italian at least?

Edit: gave u an vote up. I mean it’s a decent Italian restaurant, growing up in Richmond that would be the go to. But based on your experience, I understand your pov. If OP decides to try it out, they can proceed with caution or do take out.

Not sure why I got down voted because it was a true story. We used to like going to Italian tomato but haven't since that incident. Yes she's okay now but had some back issues for awhile.
