Bombolini Pasta

One of my favorite spots in all of Richmond, with fresh pasta made right behind the counter. Yes, it is known they have the best smoked salmon in town (and reasonably priced). But their to-go meals, especially the microwave friendly ones, are also fantastic values (~$8). Their fresh and dried pastas are outstanding and come in shapes and flavor profiles you can't find elsewhere (the black pepper linguine is so simple yet insanely good; they have gluten free options, as well). Their jarred sauces are as tasty as any I've had; I prefer them to Rao's, for example, and they're $1-2 less. This isn't a comprehensive Italian market where you can find every imported good known to humankind, it's a curated selection with the majority made in house, which is rare these days. The family who runs it and the folks who work there are wonderful, as well. It's always a pleasure visiting Bombolini and I'm grateful to live within walking distance.

WOW!! I went here with my mom this weekend we are both allergic to gluten and the staff here was extremely helpful. Some of the best meatballs we have ever had and the tomato sauce tastes just like Italy. I will absolutely be back. I am so happy to have another gluten free option in the Richmond area!! THANK YOU!!! Delicious.
