Congratulations to Oregon Hill neighbor Ed Vasai. Two of his restaurants, Edo’s Squid and Mamma Zu’s (which is in Oregon Hill), were at the top of the Best Italian Restaurant category in Style Magazine’s annual Best of Richmond issue.
Says Style:
Both Edo’s Squid and Mamma ‘Zu are owned by Ed Vasaio, and you could say that the restaurants are two sides of the same coin. Edo’s is the natty modern younger brother, while Mamma ‘Zu isn’t comfortable out of its jeans and flannel shirt.

Tap Takeover time again at Mojo’s! This month we have SweetWater Brewing Company taking over our taps. Thursday March 31st is the day. 8pm (after Happy Hour) is the time. Check back for draft lists. see ya there!
Not to be left out, Dinamo also made Style magazine’s State of the Plate with two of its dishes:
Close your eyes and you can almost pretend that you’re seaside when eating a bowl of fish soup loaded with mussels, rockfish and calamari, all tasting so fresh that you can practically smell the salty air. Pasta and tiny, diced carrots and onions round out the flavor profile, which comes across as a satisfyingly rustic and thoroughly pleasing start to a meal.

It feels weird to be talking about a salad, but this salad does so many things right. Seriously. I don’t even like beets, particularly, and I’ve tried to recreate it at home at least three times. It’s all in the dressing — zippy, sweet and tangy.
In addition to L’Opossum, Style Magazine’s State of the Plate 2016 also showed some love to 821 Cafe.
For me, my favorite neighborhood unsung hero is 821 Café, where the vibe is lively, the food is solid and no matter the day, I can get breakfast, lunch or dinner with a smile, a reasonable price and a killer soundtrack. 821caferva.com.
