Arrived in Richmond late on a Saturday afternoon and from the taxi noticed a nice looking wine bar and opposite, an Italian restaurant. The wine bar didn’t serve food, so we crossed the road to La Luna Di Luca. We were fortunate to get a table (without a booking) and enjoyed seeing so many family groups dining out together. The menu has many flavours from Sardinia and we really enjoyed the Tagliatelle al Ragu and the Mallureddus Campidanese (Sardinian pasta with sausage) - both expertly cooked al dente. The rocket and pomegranate salad complemented the pasta perfectly. The moreish rosé was exactly as the owner described it - fruity and dry. I would like to drink it again!
The only downside was the unexpected “optional” 12.5% service charge - the highest we’ve come across on this trip. We’d definitely eat here again - the pizzas looked very good too.
We have dined here many times. Sometimes the service of certain staff really lets this place down, but it’s a pretty spot and the food is really great. As a family of vegans and vegetarians we really appreciate that they are flexible in the dishes they make for us.
First time here - food is really authentic and delicious. I had a crab linguini that was pretty perfect. Hint of chilli and bursting with crab flavour. If you’re in a rush it may be not be the place for you, but if you want to enjoy amazing food and take your time in true Italian fashion then try it.

Super nice custome service, it’s how it should be and nowadays it’s not given for granted. The lady owner is welcoming and the atmosphere is super cosy.
They also have a nice patio and the venue is dog friendly.
The products are all 5 stars and the pizzas are the best really, made with genuine ingredients and super good 👍🏻
Will keep coming back
Charming local Italian restaurant. Spotlessly clean and kind service. I had pizza which was excellent quality in terms of dough, mozzarella and salami. Can be busy so booking is advisable for groups.

This pizza is a gift from heaven. We’ve been getting it delivered, or had it at the restaurant for 3 years now. It’s special !
Mar-23 I really enjoyed eating here. Alongside a take out service is a small restaurant side to the business. I would describe the experience as like being invited to a friend's place for a leisurely authentically Italian meal with real Italian wine (with only Italian writing on the label) - perfect! The downside is the speed of service, but as long that doesn't matter, do go. We would return next time we are in Richmond.
Small and perfectly formed restaurant makes for a wonderful and warm, atmosphere, serving amazing food (pizzas and pasta to die for) with attentive and thoughtful service. Will definitely be returning, especially when the nights are warmer to sit outside.
Martina welcomed us to her cosy, intimate restaurant which has a lovely atmosphere and friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. We had a selection of pastas, pizzas and starters which were all excellent. I feel the beetroot, fig and pistachio salad deserves a special mention! Thanks for a lovely evening.

Chapeau to the best pizza I have tried in London. One of the best pizzas I have ever had. Me and my partner go whenever we can. We have a little dog and they are always welcoming with him. The place is cosy and warm. The owner is kind and she recognises us all the times. I always have a calzone and ichnusa beer. We order a “Verduretti” pizza and they taste perfect, always. Shame I don't have a photo at the moment to share
