Geraldi's of Floyd,VA — Restaurant in Floyd

The best. Anywhere. First time in, I brought my four-year-old and my four-month-old. Ordered pizza. Best pizza I've had since I left NJ. Could this be? I checked with my four-year-old ... she was starting her second piece ... a kid who swears she likes pepperoni pizza but really only eats a couple of bites was on to her second piece. Checked with my four-month-old ... no help. Ok, going off of my first impression and my daughter's tomato smeared cheeks, I was excited to give this place a second try (oh, and I paused to send my wife a picture of the Gluten Free pizza option on the menu). These guys claim to make Italian food, not just pizza, so next time I put them to the ultimate test. Can they make a good meatball? I've tried meatballs at Italian restaurants from coast to coast and in most major cities. No one does it right. They're either dry or wet or just weird, etc. I ordered a meatball sandwich from Geraldi's in this little Virginia mountain town of Floyd, and when I bit into it for the first time, I almost cried (not really ... but yeah, kinda). Not only was this the best restaurant meatball I've ever had, it was the best meatball since my dear Nana passed over twenty years ago. It's been three weeks since my first time, and in those three weeks I've easily had six meatball sandwiches and two sides of meatballs. Will I ever go to Geraldi's and not order a meatball something? Maybe ... it's possible, but probably not. So there you have it. The food's the best. And before I close this review, let me say, the family are better than the food. Keep doing what you do, you...

Parking was on the street or across the street at the courthouse/ visitor center/public parking. Very easy

Walk across the street from parking and into your grandma's kitchen. With only 3 tables the owner or his wife will get you and tell about the menu after finding out where your from since they everyone in town.

Really it will feel like your in someone's kitchen as a guest.

The owner told us about how he is using his mom's receipts that are over 100 years old. He then told us his meatballs were great and when I asked how good he simply brought 1 out for me to try, and it was amazing. He even brought out garlic bread imported from NY. The owner had just made a vegan lasagna that was not on the menu, it was perfect with an order of meatballs. So good and a nice portion.

Give this review a thumbs up 👍 or a like ❤️ then find out about the tasty calzone.

If you want to share you can get a large calzone, it's huge. For 1 even the small calzone was more than 1 meal. You can order from the menu or create a custom calzone and since it's made fresh you can have what ever you wanted. Check out the photo, this food was just so good. Go now get some Italian, pizza, spaghetti, grinders. All home made with Mama's century old...

Dave, Jayden and I went to a little Italian Restaurant today in Floyd, called Geraldi's. Geraldi's is a cozy little place with big taste and great staff. The owner is just incredibly friendly and funny, the kind of person everyone should meet. Dave and I had Spaghetti and Meatballs, it was so delicious. The Meatballs were tender and gravy (sauce) flavorful, with the best garlic bread I have ever had. Jayden had the Chicago Beef sandwich and had it gone in 5 mins. He said it was so amazing and he wants to try more menu items. We finished off with canolli's, oh boy, the flavor just pops in your mouth. The right crunch and sweetness. So Gooooood! I recommend trying this place and eating anything on the menu. Pizza is next for me!

Thank you for a great experience! Forgot to snap a pic of the Canolli's, but they were...
