The family owners of two popular Italian restaurants in Richmond are planning to open a third location in the Chesterfield neighborhood of Bon Air. 8News spoke with owner Filippo Genova who said that his passion for food originally came from family cooking back in Sicily where he grew up. According to Genova, some of the recipes in his menus today, still take inspiration from that same family cooking.

“We have recipes from our grandmother,” Genova said. “Our food is fresh, homemade and from scratch.” Genova opened his first restaurant, Pizza Express, in Henrico County in 2007. He had moved from Pennsylvania to Richmond to be with his now wife, Annalisa, who was accomplished in the food industry, herself.
