Gersi RVA

"THE BEST! The best pasta, the best atmosphere, the best staff! We can't get enough of this place. I recommend Gersi to every single person I possibly can. Do yourself (and your belly) a favor and go grab a plate of their handmade pasta!"

"Train your hosts!!! Young guy looks at me as I stand to be seated, " Anything I can help you with???" Well yeah, I here to be seated, duh!!! I'm a beautiful lighhtskinned black woman with a black man over 6 feet tall. Totally inappropriate and racist. After checking the recent reviews I'm glad we left. Found great fresh homemade Italian food less than a mile away. You better recognize money has no race, gender, or color!!!"

"Cozy place with tremendous wine selection. Daily specials offered many additional choices to the already enticing menu. We tried the rockfish and spaghetti al limon - both were out of this world. Mozzarella was also fabulous. Reservations will definitely be needed, so plan ahead."

"Our meal at Gersi was lovely. Very spur of the moment decision after the weather turned on Saturday. In the future we will probably call and make reservations but perhaps not. We sat at the bar and Skylar made our experience frankly. She was fun, pleasant, engaging and knowledgeable. We'll probably sit at the bar again because of her. We'll see! We only had really one negative thus the 4 star rating as opposed to 5. That missing 1 star is an important one. Both of our pastas had great flavor and were so on the edge of being inedible. The salt profile was almost stinging. I am all about liberally salting my pasta water but this was a lot. So much so that both of us kept talking about how the flavors in our main course were evident but muted by the salt. We just weren't quite sure if that was intentional. We certainly hope not. It was a romantic and fun time. We want that again! The bread was good. The fennel and citrus salad was delicious. It was bright and refreshing. A good palate cleanse. The veal meatballs were magical little balls of pure flavor. I could eat them until I burst. The atmosphere was a blend of family and bistro dining. A little eclectic. Warm and inviting. Definitely lower key. Prices were not bad. Appropriate for the meal you get. Median high is probably about right but worth it. All in all it's a great place! Once again we can't thank Skylar enough for making our experience a fantastic one!"

"Very small building so space can become an issue during peak hours. Well-appointed bar in a friendly staff. They do have outdoor seating but it's not very nice and you're on a fairly busy street. No issues with the food it was very tasty traditional Italian cuisine. It's moderately priced not inexpensive but not really expensive. Portions were okay not extremely large as you typically find with Italian but I don't have a big appetite."
