Mamma zu's is more than open, and yes you are totally right, it IS one of the best. Try the scungilli, the whole rockfish (sometimes they have it , sometimes they don't) and go early. The place is still packed to the gills by 7pm. And yes, Edo's Squid is owned by the same guy, Ed Vasaio. Same menu, but different locale/decor. Equally good food, although I have not been there is quite some time. ← Just to warn those who aren't from Richmond, while both Mamma Zu's and Edo's Squid have terrific food the service is rather...harsh? Brusque? Let's just say, they won't win any best service awards. I would also recommend the following: -Pomegranate (Shockoe Slip area) -Phil's Continental Lounge (Libby and Grove - try the vodka limeade!) -Su Casa (Broad Street - fun little Mexican restaurant owned by a cypriot family - so you can get baklava after your enchilada!) -Lemaire (at the Jefferson Hotel for Richmond's only 5 diamond dining - it is worthy, great wine list, peanut soup, and spoon bread!) -Coppola's Deli (carytown) -Cafe Lafayette (near west end - my absolute favorite Richmond restaurant, small, great food, wonderful service)
