Not successful. Poorly conceived, prepared, and presented food. Disengaged, slap-dash service. The interior is all hard surfaces and feels cold and cheap. Many other Italian options in Richmond.

There was a snafu with Open Table which allowed me to make a reservation for a time that was supposed to be blocked off due to a private party. The restaurant was so accommodating and worked with us so we could still have dinner despite the scheduling error. The food was excellent as was the service. I recommend the cauliflower and meatball small plates and the carbonara for an entree. The restaurant is small but does have outdoor seating as well as indoor seating and a bar. It was a great place for taking out-of-town family to dinner.

As always the food is incredible and authentic. Obviously, someone didn't show up for work because usually there's a maitre d', a bartender, two wait persons and probably two in the cucina. One wait person and a cook.

A Sicilian restaurant with authentic recipes from the Old Country! The Street Food appetizers are priced low and easy to eat. Having a real live chef is an enormous plus for this neighborhood restaurant! Being in a recycled gasoline filling station is a plus. I wanted the Frutti de Mare but needed gluten free pasta. The chef recommended doing the dish with risotto rather that pasta. It was a Hit!

Another great meal at Deco. Deco never seems to disappoint. It's great, authentic Italian food. Service was a little quirky, waitress wasn't very familiar with the menu items, BUT she was authentic Italian, so that made up for it. Very attentive as well. Food was fantastic as always...great dinner.

This restaurant was wonderful. We went for Richmond Restaurant Week. Everything was delicious. I had the Calamari and Osso Buco both of which were delicious. I look forward to coming back.
