ULIVETO – Gersi
Reviews
If you’re looking for an intimate, cozy Italian spot in Richmond, Uliveto is a must. We were sent over from Gersi without a reservation, and they graciously welcomed us with a warm, tucked-away table that made the evening feel extra special.
The atmosphere is small and inviting — perfect for lingering over good wine and even better food. A big shoutout to Brian, our attentive waiter, who offered thoughtful recommendations and made us feel right at home.
We loved the homemade pasta options, especially the pappardelle with veal ragu — rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We started with their olive bread along with fresh bruschetta and the Uliveto salad with Tuscan kale and greens. I’ll be back for that kale alone!
A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Can’t wait to return.
Our server was excellent—very knowledgeable about both the menu and the available spirits and wines. We started with the mussels as an appetizer, and they were plentiful and flavorful. For my entrée, I chose the pistachio linguine, and the portion size was generous—almost shareable. It was incredibly tasty and very filling; I only made it through about a quarter of the dish and happily took the rest home.
So many other menu items caught my eye that I’ll definitely be back to try more. This is absolutely a place worth checking out.
The service really stood out… attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Our server made great recommendations and checked in at the right times without hovering. The overall atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, making it a nice spot for either a date night or dinner with friends.
The only downside for us was the cocktails. They looked great, but the flavors didn’t quite match the rest of the experience, a bit underwhelming compared to how strong the food and service were.
Overall, we’d absolutely come back for the food and hospitality next time, we might stick to wine instead.
My recent dining experience was a vibrant celebration of Mediterranean flavors, fresh ingredients, and warm hospitality. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, creating a memorable meal from start to finish.
We began with the heirloom tomato salad, a simple yet stunning starter. Thick wedges of red and golden tomatoes were topped with ribbons of fresh basil and drizzled with a perfectly balanced balsamic reduction. The tomatoes were at peak ripeness—sweet, juicy, and bursting with summer flavor.
Next came the shrimp and artichoke linguine, which was the star of the meal. The pasta was generously coated in a light tomato-based sauce, rich with olive oil and brightened by fresh herbs. Tender shrimp, spinach, artichoke hearts, and cherry tomatoes added texture and complexity, while crumbled feta offered a tangy contrast that tied everything together.
The baked eggplant parmesan was a comforting classic, served piping hot in a ceramic dish. Layers of thinly sliced eggplant were smothered in marinara and topped with bubbling melted cheese and a sprinkle of grated parmesan. A single fresh basil leaf added a fragrant finishing touch.
Finally, the whole grilled fish, served with a fresh arugula salad and lemon slices, was expertly cooked—crispy skin on the outside, moist and flaky on the inside. The arugula provided a peppery crunch, and a squeeze of lemon brightened every bite.
The attention to detail, bold yet balanced flavors, and artful plating made this meal feel like a true Mediterranean escape. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for honest, flavorful food in a cozy and colorful setting.
