6. Yassimmo
Reviewed By scooternje
We tried Yassimmo for lunch because we were intrigued by the Italian Grill sign. Yes there is Italian food on the menu, but I would not consider it an Italian restaurant by normal standards. There did not seem to be a different menu for lunch vs dinner. The sandwiches, most of which were of variations of Philly Cheesesteaks, were served with a choice of fries, onion rings or homemade chips. No other options for lighter fare sides. I had the veggie pizza which was really good. Light, chewy crust with lots of different veggies. The 10" could easily serve 2 or 3. My husband had a burger with the homemade chips and said it was good.

"Pizza" seems to be the closest "Type of Cuisine", but it's a delightful calzone shop in downtown Blacksburg.

I've been here a few times now, and am not super impressed. The food isn't bad, just bland. They have an assortment of toppings, but overall there isn't much taste.
4. Roma Pizza
Reviewed By GeoffWBburg
We got the Veggie Jersey Style Thin Crust Pizza. It was good. They used canned mushrooms, so maybe they could improve that, but they were OK. The "Greek" Salad was OK, but it was mostly Iceberg Lettuce, and Ham Cold Cut, with a decent amount of Feta. No Kalamata Olives; just the nasty canned black slices. Very stark environment. The place is probably mostly take-out; our 'server' didn't seem to know exactly how to get the food from his hands to our table. I had a view into the kitchen from my seat, and there were two swing-open single door coolers visible. The glass doors were disgustingly filthy; they looked like someone had beat a greasy, bloody, chicken to death on the glass. I watched as one of the kitchen staff got a block of cheese out of one of the coolers, and saw his hands all over the glass. I think the kitchen staff's hands are probably not washed very often, and even if they were, touching either of the coolers' glass would instantly negate the hand-washing. I craned my neck when paying at the counter, to see more of the kitchen; nothing looked as bad as the cooler glass, but then, it would be hard to see all the dirty hand marks on things other than that clear glass. Maybe here it's best to eat things that have just come out of a 450 degree oven.

We live in Blacksburg so we've been here dozens of times. It's run by a real (and that's putting it lightly) Italian couple and the meals are "home" cooked by the matrona herself. The hodgepodge decor has a certain kitchy charm that makes sense once you know the place, and is not unlike what you would find in a southern Italian village. Once you're past the first impression, the wood-fired pizzas (only place in town to offer them) are sensational, the homemade pasta is like you rarely get in a restaurant, the entrées are perfectly cooked, and her gelato is the best we've had. The staff is never boring and always competent. Oh, and the outdoor seating on a nice day is unbeatable! We have had some hilariously memorable meals here thanks to the family interaction with the staff. The open kitchen comes with free entertainment. They run the place with an iron fist and she will complain if you order something differently than she thinks it should be. But they are sweet people behind that Italian drama, and we have yet to have a bad meal here. We have come to love the whole package you get at Ceritano's.

Had never tried this restaurant before so thought we would try. Went in during a slow day and slow time. There were only 3 tables full at the time and we were all put together. Please, give people some space with a huge empty dining room, why sit people on top of one another. Waiter was friendly. The food came, it didn't taste bad but it didnt agree with me later and felt mildly ill. Not sure I would visit again.

This restaurant prides itself on pairing Italian food with good wine. Our server, although very sweet and eager to please, was not adequately trained on how to present and serve wine. The wine was not chilled at all, and it was a very hot day...The three of us ordered a variety of food items from the menu. All of the dishes were good, but definitely not great: very basic with very primitive red sauce. We are very fond of Italian cuisine and know the difference between really good and pedestrian. The latter applies to this place.The ambience of the restaurant is almost non-existent, which is a shame. It wouldn't require too much money or effort to spruce up the interior a little bit. We will looking for other Italian restaurants when we are back in Blacksburg.. We're sorry that you didn't have a good experience with our wine- un-chilled wine is below the standard we hold ourselves to. We appreciate your honest feedback- it makes us aware of issues helps us get better! We try to hold ourselves to above average standards, and hope that you'll give us another chance for us to show you why we love what we do, and the food that we make.
