Sensi Italian Chop House

Overlooking the James River, in Richmond's newest marvel, the River District, sits Sensi. Sensi offers current Italian fare in a modern and sophisticated space. Designer, Todd Yoggy created a seductively warm surrounding, inspired by the stimulation of senses - Sensi. Aromatic, infused liquors; the bouquet of a beautiful decanted Barolo; crusty Semolina loaves of bread; fresh herbs hand-cut tableside; fragrant, pressed olive oils, and wafts of fresh fish being prepared tableside. Sizzling, roasted meats; al dente pastas complemented with light Mediterranean flavors, and delightfully scented dolce accompanied by the perfect demi-cup of Illy espresso. The tangible experience is more than food. There are, for instance, the sensuously comfortable surfaces of the restaurant the beaded crystals and plush velvet. Even the chef's platform is supported with luxurious linens; smooth, curved sliver and mouth-blown glassware. Top reviews awarded from local and national media.
