Gersi & Uliveto | Richmond, Virginia

ABOUT GERSI & ULIVETO

Gersi and Uliveto are family-owned, independently operated restaurants in Richmond, Virginia. With roots in Brooklyn, New York, where Gersi also has a location, our restaurants have built loyal followings through exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and an unwavering commitment to quality and consistency. Both Gersi and Uliveto were featured in the Richmond Times-Dispatch's 2025 Top 100 Restaurants publication , highlighting our neighborhood restaurants, house-made pasta, thoughtfully prepared Italian and Mediterranean dishes, and seasonal cocktails. We are a true mom-and-pop operation, not a corporate restaurant group. Our kitchen begins prep at 6 AM each morning, preparing everything from scratch. From homemade sauces and fresh pasta to salads prepared to order and meats cut to order, every dish reflects the care and attention that goes into our food. Our pasta dishes are prepared fresh for each guest, never pulled from premade batches. We believe exceptional food begins long before the first guest walks through the door. That same dedication extends to our dining rooms. We take pride in warm, attentive hospitality and creating an experience that keeps our guests coming back.
