Lydia's Italian Kitchen 1713 Riverview Drive, Salem, VA 24153

"Ordered through door dash so did not go in but it some of the saddest "Italian" food ever. The Italian hero was a gas station sandwich at best. The artichoke and spinach dip tasted like it came out of the freezer section. The manicotti was the most embarrassing thing I've ever spent money on. $12.50 for one singular manicotti. That is the biggest robbery ever. The cheese bread was okay because it takes a lot to mess up cheese bread. The lack of any seasons is wild for them to be in business this long. If you want to waste a bunch of money on Italian food just hire your toddler to cook dinner."

"As a business traveler, time is of the essence. This restaurant was quick to serve, food is good, people were attentive and professional. Definitively a place to recommend."

"People are rude don’t like their jobs. Waitress said she was bringing marina for bread sticks no show hard bread sticks still for over 30 minutes no drink refill as she walked by as if we wasn’t here Took about 45 minutes for the food to arrive to the table. Asked for meat sauce ended up with marinara sauce over pasta told them said they could remake or do anything but offer some sort of discount Took $7 off lol never again"

"Nice Italian place with pizza, pasta, hot sandwiches, and more. Staff was attentive and nice to talk to. We had a chicken Alfredo pasta, chicken calzone and some cheese bread with mozzarella. Would definitely eat there again."

"The restaurant was very nice and clean and the staff was so nice and helpful. The meatball sub was huge and good, and the manicotti was also good. For both of them, we weren't a huge fan of the taste of the marinara sauce, but it was okay. Next time, I think I'll try something without the marinara sauce, like a white pizza. The dough for the breadsticks was fantastic, so I can only imagine the pizza would be good as well. We did enjoy the spinach dip as well."
