A Taste of Europe in Gordonsville
You don't have to visit a bustling city to get quality food. Gordonsville, Virginia may be a relatively small town where you would probably never expect to find authentic European-style food, but trust us, these are THE places to eat while you're in town. We've put together a list of our favorites to send you on your very own taste of Europe tour.
1. Il Castelllo Italian Restaurant
In the mood for some delicious Italian food? We can't say enough about the authentic experience and traditional Italian food at Il Castello Italian Restaurant & Pizza. This place is an unexpected gem in Gordonsville. Every guest is treated like a member of the family, the dough is hand-tossed and the rolls are to die for. Don't expect any special frills, just great food! Be sure to start with the garlic knots. 540-832-3716
2. Restaurant Pomme
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains is a charming restaurant that is an inviting recreation of the French Country-side. If you love French food, it doesn't get much more authentic than at Restaurant Pomme. We really like the Coquilles St. Jacques a La Catalone (pan-seared sea scallops with chorizo & leek sauce) but no matter what you order, you're meal becomes extra special when the Chef stops by your table for a quick visit. Insider tip: They are closed between 2 pm and 5 pm. 540-832-0130
3. Fabio's Pizza
Pizza, pizza, pizza! Fabio's can tackle any appetite you throw at them. The pizzas are big and delicious and come in all styles from deep dish to thin crust. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and the prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Even if you aren't into pizza, don't worry, Fabio's pasta dishes are equally as good. We recommend the White Gourmet pizza or the Chicken Parmesan for a pasta dish. 540-832-9900
