If there’s any activity our RVA Magazine team loves unanimously, it’s eating. And of all the dishes in the world, nothing tastes quite as good as the ones made right here in the River City. 

So in the spirit of eating ourselves into food comas in Richmond, we’re spotlighting our favorite local restaurants each week, with the best #RVAFoodie finds around town. We’ll be searching weekly for the best of delicious local food in our community, from amazing restaurants to chefs, food trucks, pop-ups, and more. Here are a few close-to-home favorites this week to follow on Instagram. 

If you’ve got an awesome restaurant to spotlight, reach out to john@rvamag.com! Support local, RVA!

@therichmondtable at Deluca Gelato 

Two words: homemade gelato 🍨 That’s what you’ll find at DeLuca Gelato in the Gayton Crossing Shopping Center in the West End. They serve 36 flavors daily with at least 9 dairy-free sorbetto and 2 sugar free options. It’s as authentic Italian gelato as you can get 🇮🇹
