Two Peas
First time eating here and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. My girlfriend and I had a date night Tuesday and Italian seemed to be a mutual desire for both of us, which is surprising since we usually opt for tacos or a local taqueria. The restaurant is nice and staff was friendly. Menu had lots of options but we decided on basics for our first try. I got the lasagna and she got the half manicotti half cannelloni which came with a salad and garlic bread. We were very pleased with all. We will return!

The place was dead for a Saturday evening, so we were seated quickly. The main dining area was decorated with beautiful paintings, yet the tables lacked tablecloths or centerpieces, making the place feel like a nicely decorated Dennys rather than an Italian restaurant. Having paper napkins at the table didn’t help the vibe. The waitress (Ariana) was sweet and greeted us kindly. She brought our drinks and bread to the table quickly, given no other customers in the place.
The food.
The crabcake I ordered for an appetizer was overly salty, as was the sauce it was drowning in, so I sent it back. The salad was crisp enough, and their dressing was not overbearing. However, neither of us finished it. The table bread tasted as if it were microwaved to warm it up, although the staff claimed it had not been. I ordered the shrimp and veg for the main course, and my son had the Chicken Fed-Alfredo. Both of which were ok at best. The chicken was a bit chewy, and the vegetables were slightly overcooked.
Overall, 3 stars is fair. This would not be a date night destination, nor do they try to be. But the staff makes up for the food.

Food was delicious. The sole reason it was rated 4 stars was because our salad had brown spots on the lettuce…old and wilted. The entees were delicious, service was pleasant. Our server was very kind, slow on table follow-up, no drink refills until close to our departure (restaurant was fairly empty, therefore, she wasn’t too busy). Would definitely give it another opportunity, as it’s a gem in the Richmond area.

Went today at 11:30 and it was empty. This little place is a diamond in the rough. Service was great and food was awesome. I had the lunch version of Nick’s Shrimp the House Specialty. Don’t understand why there was no business. I definitely will be back.

Amazing restaurant with the best authentic Italian cuisine I’ve ever had. A hidden gem. Seriously, go check them out.

It was our first time visiting and we’ll be back. Bread was nice and warm without an over powering taste of garlic, pretty decent portions and the staff was nice and attentive. The food came out fairly quickly but it wasn’t a packed house which I appreciated. A nice change of pace from your standard Olive Garden. Prices were fair and atmosphere was nice, had an old school Italian restaurant feel. I wish the desserts were made in house which is the only thing from keeping me giving it the last star. Other than that, I would definitely recommend especially if you want something more authentic and change from the popular chains.

I got the crab cakes dinner and my family got chicken parmigiana and linguini w/ shrimp. The food tasted as good as it looked. Jose was also kind and did a great job serving. There is a nice atmosphere as well.

Great dining experience as a whole! Warm crispy yet chewy garlic bread, and good side salad included with purchase of meal. Good house wine and our server was very attentive. Boyfriend was very happy with his seafood pasta.

Food is good and service is excellent. I am Italian and think it’s very good but I’m a little picky when it comes to Italian food. I ordered the classic spaghetti plate but added meat sauce and sausage. Throw a little fresh grated cheese and you have a great dish. Wish they were open on Mondays.

Always forget about coming here but it’s a nice change from the regular restaurants I attend. The food is good but I have had better Italian. Lunch prices are very reasonable. Atmosphere is decent. Will be back.
