What can I say about Candela’s. This is a wonderful restaurant with family friendly staff and great food. I had the seafood Alfredo and my wife had a pepperoni pizza. Both we super fresh and great tasting. The portion size was enough to take some home and the amount of seafood inside dish was plentiful. The quick response to our orders was fast. We Sat, Ate and paid our check all less than an hour… We did go slightly before the dinner crowd, but the service was pretty quick. I highly recommend Candela’s on Robious road…

The Pinoy & the Pisan are back, checking out Candela’s on Midlothian Turnpike at the suggestion of Mark Goad, with The Good Life RVA! This place is super cute & MADE for big parties! Just in the area we are sitting in, there are booths made to seat parties of 4 & 6 people. Tables for 2, 6, & 10, and a party room right next to the front door! We ordered toasted ravioli for an appetizer and it was GOOD! And there was virtually NO time from kitchen to table, as evidenced by the steaming hot marinara & food. SO good! With my wife’s lasagna, a salad was included. We chose the Caesar dressing, and it was a nice bed of crisp iceberg lettuce with thick slices of cucumber & tomato. We enjoyed it. She really liked the dressing. It’s more mustard-y than any Caesar that I’ve ever had, but it was good! The service was a team approach and attentive. My tea did not fully empty before I was asked if I wanted more. The lasagna my wife ordered was large and hearty. I ordered a personal pizza (10”) with pepperoni, sausage, & black olives. It was nice, the meat was spiced well, & the crust was very good! We enjoyed it! We’ll be back!

I was told to stop by for good pizza while in town. Met the owner Rocco. I ordered a small pie (6 slices) extra cheese and half sausage. A good and tasty combination. Saw some good looking menu suggestions as well. Will try when I’m in town again. Nice addition to Midlothian.

They serve good quality food that the restaurant and its staff are proud of, and they stand behind it. Fair prices as well, considering their cost. Leadership on duty tonight (Sunday, 3/30) was outstanding—attentive, responsive, intelligently navigated conversations with customers, and a major asset. They could confidently run service at any top-tier establishment! I expect a comment on this

This Italian restaurant was amazing this past Saturday. Our Deacon Ministry had a meeting/outing there on Saturday and the food, the service and atmosphere was amazing. I had the pizza, it was one of the best that l have tasted. Our group had a variety of Italian dishes as well and everything looked amazing. Our server was amazing! The owner was gracious. I had never knew this restaurant was even there. Please support this gem so that it can remain open. Anthony N.
