Not been here is a long time, but still an incredibly popular, lively local restaurant. We were a party of 9 eating on a Saturday night. I would definitely recommend you book as nearly all the tables were occupied at 7.30.
Service was efficient, staff new several members of our party and were friendly and welcoming.
We shared a mixture of starters, Calamari Fritti, Funghi Mirele (deep fried mushrooms with garlic butter in breadcrumbs) and Bruchetta.
Some of the party had pasta dishes (portions seemed very generous) and the pizza looked good. Also we had Scaloppine al Limone - scallop of veal in butter and lemon sauce, very delicious and again a very generous portion and Halibut in butter and lemon sauce - fish was perhaps a tad overcooked.
A very enjoyable evening and will be back.

The staff are so lovely, warm and friendly.
Really enjoyed the starter calamari - it was tender and the batter was subtle as to not overpower the calamari.
The lasagne was great for a cold night - hearty, arrived so hot and I loved the tomato sauce around the lasagne to add that extra tang.
The meatball pasta was a little underwhelming, though.

Really goos, what appears to be a family run Italian restaurant. Really great tasting food at very reasonable prices for the quality. Very attentive staff too

Sorry guys, I complained about the wine pricing, but it was fine, my maths were wrong. Apologies xx

Went for lunch 4 years after the last Saracens victory. Still a great place to go with good food at very reasonable prices. Wine was good too as were the staff. The menu is big by modern standards but who cares. The people of Richmond are blessed it looks like they will be there forever! I would award my first 6 star if I could. Nick

My goodness, the food here is devine!
Atmosphere - cute, could be romantic if you want it to be. There is an 'Italian home' look and feel to the place, with clothes hanging above you. Unusual, but unique. My OCD just hopes dust from the clothes don't fall on the food.
The type of customers we saw whilst we were there consisted of couples and families, so expect a child or two making some noise. It wasn't to the point of being disturbing.
Food - scrumptious! We ordered a starter, which was prawns in a tomato sauce with bread. I could've eaten that all night, so delicious. I then ordered a pasta with basil and cod, this isn't the actual name of the meal but that's what it consisted of. It was absolutely delicious. My friend ordered the lobster, she is a chef and rated it quite high, with the only complaint being that the lobster was a tad over cooked.
We also tried their best wine, not my favourite, it was a little watery.
The water is bottled spring water.
The chilli oil is a huge glass with a mixture of peppers in oil, felt very home made, adding to the atmosphere.
Service - great. The lady serving us was good, not going above and beyond but at the same time didn't need to. She was calm and helped with any info we required.
The food arrived in good time too, I'd say it took about 10-15mins to arrive.
I'll definitely be returning to this lovely place. 100% recommend it.

Classic Italian ambiance with authentic Italian food served from the heart.
We were offered a set menu of 5 starters and 5 mains and we decided to go for minestrone soup, lamb and tiramisu.
Food was superbly cooked and portions are generous sized.
Highly recommended restaurant for service and food.

Delicious, good value food with friendly service. Don't be put off by the slightly dowdy exterior- much nicer inside

Loved it. Service is excellent and really attentive, but not at all intrusive. The food was enjoyed, although we only had mains due to time pressures. I'd love to have stayed longer as it's a really beautiful place to stop for dinner (we had a 6yo with us). We look forward to returning.

This Italian restaurant really does make you feel like you are back in Italy with their authentic staff and food.
All the dishes we tried were great including. The calf's liver in particular was divine.
My family and I will be returning.

Best authentic Italian pizza I had in the UK. Interior is decorated very traditionally. Definitely recommend for lovers of real Italian food and Italian atmosphere.

Lovely service, very tasty food with very generous portions. Prices are mid-tier, but it is really worth every penny!

Lovely place, great food, the service was very good with very nice staff. I had the tagliatelle gamberoni and it was superb, as were all my friends and husband choices. Will go back definitely! And suggest others to go! Congratulations for having it all!

Very busy. So not particularly romantic for a Valentines meal. The dish I ordered according to the menu "ARE SERVED WITH SEASONAL VEGETABLES AND SAUTE POTATOES" however I wasn't expecting the saute potatoes to actually be chips. Somewhat disappointing. I had the Zablaglione for dessert. Nice but very rich. So I couldn't finish unfortunately. The wait staff are polite if a little rushed as it was so busy and my partner had to check that out main was actually coming. Not unpleasant but not the best Italian experience I've ever had.
