About the Business
Originally known as "Sette", we opened our doors in the Spring of 2005 as a cozy Italian-American eatery. Our list of cocktails, handhelds, and fire-roasted pizzas are distinctive and well-loved by our guests. In 2013, we added the Taproom to the front of our kitchen and it is now one of three distinct dining areas in our restaurant. We take pride in selecting beers for our taps and host a growing collection from both near and far. A well-chosen selection of wine is also available by the glass or bottle. A seasonal cocktail list and constantly rotating craft beer draught list are wonderful additions to the dining experience.

Went here for a brunch/lunch with babe. For an app, we ordered the smoked salmon. For the entrées we ordered shrimp & grits and fish & chips.
The food was served hot and quickly. I couldn't finished the fish & chips because there were a lot of fries. I wish it had maybe one more fish stick. We also end up taking the smoked salmon dip home.
Our waitress was nice and answered any questions I had about the menu. I don't know if we'll come back because of the prices but it was nice to get out!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

This restaurant reminds me of the quintessential Richmond restaurant. It is small and super homey and the service is great. The fish tacos were above average but nothing to write home about. Loved the drinks will definitely come back.

My spouse and I love this place when we were dating we would walk up here from our apartments and have some drinks and split a delicious pizza! Last night we went there on whim and the vibe is even better!!! The menu is still amazing and offers a lot of options! My parents love this place because of all the choices! The bar is great! Wine, beer and liquor selection is awesome!!!! The place where I discovered how amazing it is to combine a sweet and meat and heat!!!! Porky fig..... unreal flavors!!!!!!!! You will not be disappointed!

Good beer selection, friendly and accommodating staff, and most importantly good food. Partner got the red eye burger which was delicious (he added spinach to feel healthy). I got the Cuban and it did not disappoint. Two full halves of a sandwich stuffed with pork, ham, and pickles. Simply delicious. Prices here are fair and you can do a cheap date by splitting the pizzas. Hit them up on wine specials nights*

This is right across the street from my apartment. All of the food and drinks are top notch. Dinner with drinks expect to spend at least $80+ but everything is worth the money. Their brunch is good also and cheaper. They have a very cute patio area out back that's great if you want to bring your pet. I would recommend the truffle fries as the appetizer as they are delicious and you get a ton. All the photos below are from various dinners and brunch.

Had an awesome date night on a Thursday with my hubby at 23rd & Main Kitchen & Taproom. They finally reopened a few weeks ago for indoor dining. Tons of good beers on tap and yummy wines by the bottle, all of which are reasonably priced at $20-$35. Their fire roasted pizzas are amazing and delicious. I couldn't finish mine in one sitting. Also great service! Definitely putting this place on our rotation since we live just a few blocks away. Highly recommended!

Really nice restaurant. I came for brunch and the food was fantastic. My waiter was really nice and gave suggestions on the more popular items and his favorites.
I ended up getting the chicken and waffles and corned beef hash.
The chicken was really crispy and had a sauce that had a slight kick to it which was a pleasant surprise. The hash was pretty hearty and had good flavor but I was more in love with the chicken and waffles.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rodock W.Richmond, VA4451221066Aug 6, 2021
As Mr. RVA took to the Franklin Street exit, he beheld one of Richmond's historic, preeminent, Second Renaissance Revival Style edifices; Main Street Station, erected in 1901. "I wonder if any of my family ever traveled these rails," he thought, making way to his dining excursion for the evening. He was met at the with the sultry voice of the late R&B phenom, Barry White. The vibes were on point from the start. Mr. RVA situated himself near the window, taking in the street views of his illustrious city. As he sat taking in the ambiance of exposed brick, giving laudation to wooden table tops against gunmetal silver chairs, under golden lights, Mr. RVA was beckoned. "I have to say, that is a nice outfit. I am a fashion stylist, so I pay credit when it's due," the lady said, sitting in between her two Gentlemen. Nothing like getting and unexpected compliment.. Black and White framed photos festooned the walls, granting a distinct, contrasted flair to the dining room. Yet, in all the dining room's smooth splendor, the patio garden had a "Je ne sais quoi" all of it's own; under the clear night's summer sky. This cozy Gastropub takes pride in it's delicious pub fare, signature cocktails, and wide variety of beer selections. Ladies and Gentlemen of Discovering RVA, allow your's truly to present, 23rd and Main. @23rdandmain

Hello Mr. RVA! We are so pleased you came to dine with us and enjoyed your meal thoroughly. We certainly hope to serve you again in the future!

Absolutely awesome experience! My fiancée and I were looking for a nice meal in Richmond where we could also bring our Frenchie and they not only let us bring the dog to the patio, they brought him a water dish, really sweet touch! The service was super good too, overall very friendly.
Onto the food. We had the Brussels sprouts and they were very delicious and quite unique! I had the fish tacos and my partner had the brisket tacos. I really liked my tacos, they are some of the best fish tacos I've had outside of Southern California. My fiancées only issue with the brisket tacos was that the blue cheese didn't really go with the brisket, but he was able to pick most of it off and still finished off his plate.
Price was good too, for an appetizer and two main tacos options we didn't pay anything crazy.
Overall would highly recommend!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
