Caffe La Fiamma in Richmond upon Thames

Very expensive £7.80 for 2 weak-as-piss watery coffees. Barely drinkable they were so bad... took them back to complain but no one came to the door to see us. Wont be stopping here again.

Four of my friends and I planned to visit for lunch. Having cycled round Hampton on a Sunday afternoon, we called the restaurant to see if they have any outside seating available, as we had our bicycles with us that we wished to sit with.

Been here before when it was called Cafe La Fiamma and things have changed. The food was good, the service was friendly and you get a great view over Bushy Park.

Superb Italian restaurant! Well worth a visit if you love Italian food and only 50 metres from Craven House!

Visitar Hampton Court y parecía un lugar muy agradable. Quedamos muy contentos con nuestra comida. Las comidas eran muy caliente. Tenía un Pimms. Personal atento, sin quejas las comidas vino muy rápido. No Hay ciervos en ese momento aunque en busca de otras fotos que vienen a la vuelta barandillas.

I cycle past this place most weekends so suggested to my partner that we give it a try, we looked at the reviews and decided to book up.

Hemos estado dos veces para el almuerzo de domingo para reunirse con los amigos, y sin duda alguna volveremos otra vez. El aparcamiento de coches inmediatamente fuera puede ser difícil, ya que el restaurante está justo fuera de las murallas de Hampton Court Palace, pero los vacíos existentes para pagar el aparcamiento no están o pagar para aparcar en el terreno del palacio.

Es un gran lugar para disfrutar de un almuerzo con una buena vista a Casa Park. Hay una buena selección de comida en el menú y el servicio es bueno aunque no ser entrometido. Un buen lugar para disfrutar de un almuerzo tranquilo con amigos y colegas.

Great lunch with fine views over Bushey Park and the deers. Relaxed atmosphere , service first class and pasta of the highest quality! Highly recommended

La comida era increíble, pasta fresca y probado fueron generosos con el tamaño de las porciones. La única pega es que estaba bastante muerto para un sábado teniendo en cuenta la ubicación. Quizás podría hacer con marketing o poner en algunas ofertas para construir clientela y generar un mejor ambiente ? Aparte de que sin duda volvería.

It was ok. The foods was good and nice. There were many mistakes in the menu; it is wronge "margarita" , correct is margherita also "linguini" is wronge, linguine is correct...anyway is ok....many thanks...

On Mother's Day myself and a few friends booked a table at La Fiamma, luckily may I add it was fully booked after my booking so book weeks in advance! We were greeted with smiles immediately and sat down.The restaurant was full of life and laughter a beautiful ambience. Staff and service was wonderful and responsive to our every need. The menu was full of delicious Italian choices, we started off with mussels in white wine sauce, calamari and garlic bread with cheese. The starters were mouth watering! Very nicely cooked and presented. After that our main courses arrived, I myself had fillet in mushroom sauce cooked medium rare, the fillet was cooked to perfection just how I like it! The sauce complimented the fillet beautifully. My friends had seafood pasta and fish. The pasta smelt gorgeous! It was full of different seafoods and again beautifully presented wrapped in foil. The fish was topped with fresh tomatoes, basil and garlic, my friend loved it. To finish off we chose one of their homemade desserts, I had tiramisu whilst my companion had their Panna Cotta one word, delicious! Will definitely be coming back!

I really really wanted to like this place Charming staffLovely atmosphere Chef cooking on display But the food oh dear Starters On the plus side the prawns were lovely and beautifully cooked but the scallops overcooked as was the duck I can't comment on the calamari as I don't like it but everyone said it was nice For main course 2 of us had calves liver and the other 2 veal The calves liver had a balsamic sauce Totally overpowering I couldn't eat it I tasted the the veal absolutely chewy and a horrible sauce The sautéed potatoes were undercooked the carrots were fine I had a panna cotta for pudding I didn't eat it definitely nothing to write home about Such a shame Expensive and distinctly average Would not return

Been going to this restaurant for many years, and we have always enjoyed our meals, so we chose this venue for a family meal celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary.As usual we ate early evening and requested a table by one of the windows overlooking the park.The grandchildren loved seeing the deer resting beneath a tree close to the window.We were welcomed and then served promptly. The menu has a wide variety of dishes, and the food was delicious. The staff were friendly, and the service good.This is probably my favourite local restaurant and in my opinion the best in the area. We have never been disappointed and always enjoyed our meals here.It is probably best to book in advance. Take care where you park, the traffic wardens are very active in the area.

All too often restaurants provide patchy service, but not here. I have never had a bad meal. The team are friendly, the service is good, not push and you can take your time. There's nothing worse than being rushed when you don't want to be, and vice versa. I eat here out of choice when I'm staying locally with work, and still haven't grown tired of La Fiamma. Lovely in the summer overlooking the park, cosy in the winter.

Our first girly lunch since before xmas, very good choice here, loved the pork dish was like a knuckle but for me being carnivore I was in meat heaven, lovely view overlooking bushey park, was v quiet on a wed lunchtime but would think it good atmosphere for an evening soirée. Only downside was the parking as road works outside so be prepared to park at Hampton Court station and walk.

Had a family lunch here for new years day. About 14 of us with a variety of tastes no bother to staff here. service was very good even though the place was full . Food did not disappoint [mussels were excellent] none of our group had any complaints . parking was the only issue .Weather was very bad and some of our party were of advance years and had to walk a distance in the rain to get to our transport.

Knowing that we were flying back into the country on Christmas eve, didn't fancy cooking Christmas day lunch for the five of us. I had shopped around for somewhere local and reasonably priced and found it at La Fiamma, a restaurant we are quite familiar with. Booked the second sitting for 3pm as we thought the one at 12 was too early, printed off the menu which gave you a choice of 5 starters, 6 mains and 4 desserts including vegetarian options. We submitted our orders a week before we went as requested by the restaurant.After a relaxing start to Christmas day rocked up to the restaurant at 3pm. It looked as though they were fully booked for the sitting. Yes, maybe we did wait a little longer than usual, but with a full house to serve at one time I think that the staff did pretty well, friendly and attentive as usual. The table had been laid attractively and had crackers for us to pull. All our food and drinks were served within a reasonable time and all of good quality with all the staff working very hard to ensure we had a good service. Non of our party had any concerns and we were very happy to leave a gratuity. Upon departure our table was given a very large Pannettone, which was a nice touch. Would definitely do it again next year. Thank you La Fiamma.

Avoid this place!! We've been tonight to have our family diner xmas eve diner...what a mistake we did!1st we waited 30 minutes to have our drinks. We ordered some olives and garlic bread for nibbles to start, we received the olives quite quickly but the garlic bread arrive with our starter 1h later!!How long does it take to cook some garlic bread??For our starter, we missed 1of our starter. After waited, we decided to grab one waitress which said she will go to see where is our last starter. Finally she arrived when we all finished our starter to ask what was the missing starter. What is the point to ask that when everybody else finished their starters???We order with our main some red wine Nd they bring us some white wine. At this point, our meal was ruined with all their poor service. We asked for the bill, and we're very surprise than nothing has been knocked off our bill. We aren't the kind of people to try to grab something for free but at this point with a long time to wait for our drinks, same for our garlic bread, a missing starter, wrong wine served, we though it would be fair to knock the garlic bread and a bottle of wine as our Christmas dinner has been ruin. To do short, worst attitude ever!! No customer service, no apologise,just threat and had to pay the whole bill for our worst Christmas meal ever!! And don't think I'm one of this person which go on tripadvisor just criticise some establishment, look on my profile and you will see than I leave. More good reviews than bad, but this restaurant is very very bad!!

Having lived in Molesey my entire life, La Fiamma has long been a restaurant I've been meaning to visit and with a visit from my partners family from Portsmouth, I decided to book! All in all it was a very nice meal, excellent wine choices and my risotto with chorizo was fantastic as well as the squid starter. The rest of my party were equally happy.The prices are what you'd expect, it's not somewhere you can afford to visit often however but I'll defiantly go when I can. The only small issue I have it that when I booked I asked for a window table if possible as it was a special occasion to which the young lady on the phone assured me this would be no problem; however on arrival we had a table in the centre of the restaurant and all the window tables were taken, so clearly my request wasn't noted or even considered however It wasn't appropriate for me to take issue and I'll table and service were more then acceptable. Overall I'd defiantly recommend a visit to anyone, well anyone with good taste in food!

this is tremendous little restaurant in the Hampton Court/ Walton-on-Thames area. Whether you are a couple on date night, or want a nice business meeting dinner, this is the place. Great food, great wine, great service and great prices, what more could you want! Also the atmosphere is quiet and laid back!

I hosted a party of 32 this week for a lunch and the food was fantastic. Everyone said their choice was delicious. Great choice on the menu. Portions excellent. Really good value for money. I had been trying to organise this for some time and the restaurant was helpful, patient and accommodating for all our needs. The personal service was second to none. Excellent all round. All my guests were thrilled with my choice of restaurant. I will definitely go back again and will also recommend it to everyone.

We have visited this over the years and the quality of the food and service as remained high. We usually have the seafood dishes, and the pasta. The wine list has one of our favourites, which is not expensive and always served well. The staff are pleasant and helpful. We love the view over the park. A very nice family restaurant, which is also suitable for a romantic evening meal.

i was here as part of a large group for a Christmas meal. It was a Monday night and quiet. The service was good and friendly. One of the waitresses managed to take our order successfully without writing anything down. The table was nicely decorated for Christmas with crackers etc. The restaurant looked pretty too. There was a good choice of wines and the menu was quite extensive. There were nice starters, pastas, pizzas, risottos and grills. I had a goats cheese and aubergine starter which was very tasty as was the linguini with scallops. My husband had the garlic bread with cheese which he said was OK followed by the lamb shank which was excellent. For desserts we had the pannacotta which was great and the ice cream. There was a limited number of flavours with the ice cream, basically the usual suspects - vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, but they were full of flavour. There was a good choice of coffees as well. The staff were willing to split the bill amongst the large group by couples and individuals so that we paid for exactly what we had which was very helpful. It was also good value.It was a very enjoyable evening, with a nice ambience and good quality food. I would recommend it and would go back.

Hidden gem of a restaurant, with superb views looking out over Bushy Park. Deer and stags walking past the window. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating, just a one would hope for. The menu is quite extensive and the food constantly delicious. Another great indicator of a restaurant quality is its cleanliness, and La Fiamma is spotlessly clean. Children's high chairs are generally an indicator of an eating establishments care for hygiene and to use the phrase, "clean enough to eat off of it". I am reassured by the pristine cleanliness at this restaurant, in both the restaurant and rest rooms and yes, high chairs.We eat here regularly and have been doing so for many a year. We are greeted with warmth and professional service every time.

La Fiamma truly is superb. The setting is lovely with large windows showing on to the park for a beautiful view, in the summer you often see deer meters away. I have visited numerous times and without fail have enjoyed my experience. The food is delicious, I would certainly recommend the lamb, one of the more expensive dishes however worth it, the meat simply falls of the bone. My partner is particularly fussy with meat being too chewy or dry and every time he attends LA Fiamma he orders this same dish due to its excellence. I often opt for the fish of the day or the steak which are both of excellent quality. On my last visit i had the lasagna, again superb.The service is first class, your needs are always anticipated before it necessary to ask and the staff are beyond polite and professional.A definite recommendation to anyone visiting the area.

Very welcoming great food and service six of us arrived without booking due to being let down at another restaurant,they couldn't of been more helpful and accommodating definitely will be visiting again

Stopped for lunch this week, really worthwhile. Unfussy Italian Cuisine, reasonable prices and good wines. Lovely parkland setting, all in all a great location. Parking nearby.Well worth a visit.

Disappointed with La Fiamma. Me and my girlfriend wanted to visit for a long time, eventually made it one Sunday early November for a late lunch.Lovely setting with nice big windows looking onto Bushey Park. Nice waitress offered parking permit, gratefully received. Good omens?!2x glasses of red ("Manzeriano"?!) - very nice; things were looking up...Bread was provided on the table, very stale. Always a bad sign - the good omen U-turn?! Unfortunately, this is how it played out.Ordered the 'dello chef' to share - scallop skewers wrapped in Parma ham. Disappointing. Little flavour, left much to be desired, and the scallops were served on the skewers with the orange roe still attached.I had read someone's TA review claiming that the pizza here was the best they had ever tasted. I asked the waitress how they cooked their pizzas expecting they had a wood fired oven; they use an electric oven. The family on the adjacent table were served a couple pizzas shortly after - they looked supremely average. Completely flat and circular; no authentic character.I ordered the rigatoni with asparagus and peas.My girlfriend ordered the rigatoni with chicken, "sweet" peppers and olives.We had these dishes with the lamb shank with veg and potatoes.Both pastas were over cooked and their was little or no flavour in the sauces. The lamb shank (£18) did not fall off the bone and was dry. The veg was very overcooked.Didn't bother with desert, based on the above.I was honest with the waitress when she asked how the meal was; she said she would feedback to the kitchen.Perhaps this was a one-off, however I wont be going back. I've had much tastier, more enjoyable meals at Carluccio's. Expected more based on the price, location, nice surroundings and appearance that this was an authentic Italian restaurant serving quality food.Disappointing. This is the 1st negative review I have posted but when people leave comments saying that this place is the 2nd coming; its annoying the find out that its anything but.

We were lucky enough to be the first diners of the evening & got the best seats in the house overlooking the stags in Bushey parkThe food came quickly, was beautifully cooked & presented & tasted delicious.Service was great.Would definitely recommend & will be visiting again

Visited with my husband after arriving to the All Seasons that was closed down. We were greeted warmly and offered any table we liked. We ordered a bottle of prosecco and this was brought to us in a nice bucket with a strawberry in each glass.We were given breadsticks whilst we looked through the menu and was pleasantly surprised at the variety of dishes on offer. I chose the calamari followed by the chicken, Parma ham and prawn risotto both were very good, hot and fresh. For desert I chose the warm chocolate pudding but it was quite rich so some ice cream would have complimented it well.There were wide doors open at the back of the restaurant offering lovely views of Bushey Park.All in all I would recommend if looking for a restaurant in the area.

I visited this restaurant after being let down by the Cardinal Wolsey. On first impressions the restaurant has a nice decor and looks very welcoming. The food is good and there is something on the menu for all pockets. The service was very good but when we asked what they would recommend between two starters we were greeted with a blank look and no suggestion. Maybe they have not tried the food themselves to give their opinion? All in all it was a pleasant restaurant and a nice evening but would I go back? Probably not

As we were going to an event at the Palace, we decided to try La Fiamma because of its proximity and because other reviewers said how good it was. we were not disappointed. The menu, whilst quite long, offered a wide choice of old favourites. Mine was risotto which was delicious, as were the other dishes. The service was exceptionally good without being obsequious, and we even had the benefit of sitting by the window with views over Bushy Park. Great place!

Have been here many times in the past and was pleased to find it as good as before. Had requested table by window for the views unfortunately no deer came past! Good menu and reasonably priced.Staff pleasant and helpful .Wine list varied and not too expensive. Can recommend it as a good place to spend an evening without it costing too much

We found this by chance as we were attending the Hampton Court Festival. Lovely staff and atmosphere and one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had!! Really good experience.

La Fiamma does what it does well.What it does is a range of Italian staples of good quality in a lovely room with wonderful views of parkland and deer.Service is gracious and efficient.We like it a lot.

We havent visited La Fiamma for a number of years. I am not sure why, having enjoyed a very nice Sunday evening dinner with friends. Very good food, great value. Nice view out to Bushy Park. What struck me as well was the cleanliness of the restuarant. We shall again become regular diners. If you dont know the area this restuarant is a very short stroll from the main entrance of Hampton Court and whilst it may not have the buzz of town the food more than makes up for it.

Logicamente non ci si puo` aspettare di mangiare in un ristorante all`estero come in italia ma vi posso garantire che qui non si mangia male. Ho visto lo schifo girando per la citta` ma qui mi son trovato bene. Poi si sa in tutti i ristorato c`e` da aspettare ma chi bene vuol mangiare.....se no sarebbe stato tutto precotto!!Ci torneremo.P.S. abbiamo visto i cervi avvicinarsi al balcone ...veramente belli.

We LOVE this restaurant. So welcoming, warm and friendly and the food matches up. We live locally and choose this a special place to go.

Delicious food, good choice of wine including a sparkling dessert wine. Surprisingly quiet for a Friday night.

Cafe Fiamma is in a great location, just by Hampton Court Palace, with the big rear windows overlooking Bushey Park, which on a sunny spring evening is a fantastic sight, with deer wandering by the windows. The menu offers a great choice of Italian classics, and the risottoes are the speciality, and can be highly recomended. On a busy Saturday evening, service was slow, but staff are friendly and smiling. This place is well worth a visit!

The food is excellent, best pasta and pizza I ever tasted. Fantastic view of bushy park. Great service and good value.I would definetly visit again.

I have been to la Fiamma numerous times with my boyfriend as part of our date night tradition. We went again last weekend to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. His choice as he cannot get enough of the lamb. It is so tender it falls off the bone. We took his family too. Everyone left really happy. They had arranged a beautiful table and decorated it with balloons. They also put sparklers and candles on his dessert and sang happy birthday as they brought it to him. We had not requested any of this. As well as the delicious food these are the sort of details that make me feel appreciated as a customer.

Visited here for mothers day today and was given a choice of 12.00 or 2.30pm slot chose the 2.30pm slot, sat there for two and half hours an hour and half for main courses asked three people when my food was going to arrive was totally ignored. Unless you have a indefinate amount of time avoid this place like the plague, in fact you are more likely to catch the plague than get your meal here. When complained to the manager about the service levels she explained that they were busy I said to them that they had made the boundaries by only allowing people to die at specific times and had they had wanted to make it easier should have offered a set meal on this day. I mentioned to her she may like to make a gesture by looking at the bill, hence an argument ensued with the chef and manager and I was given £10.00 of a £151.00 bill I told her I was insulted. Would never visit this restaurant again and would advise others to take caution

I cannot fault anything here. Lovely atmosphere, great service, superb food. Grilled swordfish was delicious. Really felt comfortable at this restaurant.

I have been in this restaurant for a Sunday late lunch, the food was tasty, a nice pasta ai frutti di mare and a tasty calzone, although a bit small. I took a good merlot (for London standard). The dessert at the end was tasty but not spectacular.At the end of the lunch a AMAZING coffee as you expect in Italy. Lovely place with a romantic view.

Warm, friendly, lovely people and excellent Italian food. If you are visiting Hampton Court it is far better than anything on offer foodwise in the Palace - and la fiamma is only across the road. Great place for lunch or dinner.

I had lunch with friends here between 12:30 and 14:30, for the 1st hour we were the only people in the restaurant I think we were join by one or two more tables before wr left. I'm surprised it wasn't more popular because this place is a gem!I had a scallops in parma ham starter followed by a lamb shank, both dishes were superbly done. All the dishes served to my 4 companions looked great and everyone was highly complementary of their food.The staff were friendly and attentive (not that there was much to distract them from us!).We had a window seat with a view overlooking Bushey Park which was fantastic. The interior decor was smart and clean. I believe this is the first restaurant that I have eaten in with sign indoors asking "Please do not feed the deer".The ambience would have benefited from a few more covers but the food was great.

I've been here several times and I'm always impressed with both the food and the service. They are attentive without being overbearing and nothing is too much trouble.Both my friend and another customer celebrated their birthdays on the night we visited and bringing in a cake was no problem at all.

The location is unreal - on the outskirt of the Bushy park. The interior is OK. But I was not pleased with the food. The pancake was cold, the clotted cream was from Tesco's. The food selection on the menu is awkwardly miniscue. You can't ruin good coffee, hence I enjoyed it. For the location like that - next to Hampton Court and by the entrance to the Bushy Park - I was expecting more. I fulheartedly wish them to improve for I would like to return one evening to see the promised deer wandering by the windows.

We ( 3) went there based on the good reviews we read here and because we live basically round the corner . As serious fans of Italian food we expected something better than the average Italian restaurant in London but have been rather disappointed. Very average and rather bland. As starter we had skewers of scallops (4 pieces), Pan-fried tiger prawns (4 pieces) and Calamari Fritti ( ca. 12 pieces) and two pizzas and pan-fried calves liver as main course. A bottle of house white, 1 grappa and expresso. With £ 110.00 rather overprices for average food. I had hoped to find an Italian near by where I could visit regularily but I guess I will give this one a miss. A pity as the location is great and the surrounding area would provide wide clientele for a very good Italian. Looks like the owner don't get it and don't care.

We visited the restaurant before going on to Hampton Court and Bushey Park and were surprised to see how quiet it was on a Saturday afternoon. This place serves great food, has attentive service and has great views over the park and it's deer. It's a real pity that it isn't busier.

We came here for dinner one night, being great fans of the Italian cuisine. We expected solid good Italian food. We were really disappointed as all the food we had was very edible, but quite bland and nothing great about it at all - and I was looking for good points, I really was. The service was doing her job, but nothing else, she was clinical and anonymous. The bill came to £55 for a starter platter, 1 pasta & 1 pizza dish and 1 bottle of house wine - not cheap! We were so underwhelmed and cannot understand how other people keep raving about this place. I'd say they've never tasted real good Italian food before, even at the risk of sounding patronising. Sorry, but it just wasn't very good. Nothing.

This restaurant looks quite run of the mill from the outside. Inside its quite the opposite, it has a great interior, tastefully decorated and with wonderful views out onto the park. They have several tables at the back just beside French windows that open out onto the park where you can deer watch! I would recommend booking ahead and asking for a back window table. The service was efficient and polite, the washrooms were very clean and what you could see of the kitchen looked very clean. The food was good, the bolognaise tasted very meaty unlike in some where they add too much soya meat to bring down costs. I would recommend this restaurant for a nice night out without having to spend a fortune.

We have visited this restaurant on several occasions, and have always found it to be excellent. Great staff, busy, bustling atmosphere, good setting on the edge of Bushy park but above all excellent food which is served HOT! (I cannot stand cold food, and so this is very important to me). Good selection of dishes, and a flexible approach to selection (e.g. having two starters instead of starter +main). Lots of regular customers - always a good sign in an area like this where there are several competitor outlets. Staff are consistently charming and cope with all events calmly.Hope to return soon!

The restaurant looked very inviting from outside and we were'nt disappointed. We were sat at a table looking out at beautiful parkland. A magnificent stag stood in the long grass surveying his territory. The menu was extensive and had a specials attached. We settled on a anti pasta plate to share ; with olives, sliced meat, and sun dried tomatoes. My knowledge on wine is limited, but the Red Merlot was quite palatable. For mains we chose pan fried duck in orange sauce and sauté potatoes. This was as good as anywhere I had eaten it! The ravioli went down a treat with our friend. Next we had crepes with mascarpone cream and ice cream, also tiramisu. Both delicious. This was rounded off with coffee. An excellent meal, with good prompt service from the friendly staff.

We have lived in the area for a few years now and always meant to try La Fiamma. It is always packed and I just thought it was the food. It wasn't until recently I spotted the incredible views it has over Bushy Park, so decided to drop in on a hot evening a couple of weeks ago... and I am so glad we did.The restaurant is full of character and the views are stunning. On top of that, the staff are so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them and, when a table by the window overlooking the park became free and we requested to move, it was no problem at all. They cleaned and re-laid the table beautifully for us, without any fuss and then moved our drinks and everything over.Then there's the food. Even something as simple as the salads on the antipasti menu are delicious and well executed. Simple flavours but brought together so well and using lovely produce. I had the seafood pasta Cartoccio, which was absolutely stunning, with huge prawns and all seafood cooked beatifully. I really can't fault this restaurant. It's a gem of an Italian I drove past all the time without realising how fantastic it is. In fact, it's so good, we're going back there with my parents this weekend. Highly recommend - particularly with the warm summer days we've had recently.

Don't let the outside put you off. The inside is beautiful, spotlessly clean :) The food was fresh and plentyful. The service was first class. Simply put the best Italian we have been to :) And being just across the road to Hampton court palace, made for a wonderful day :)

Great food, wonderful staff and if you get one of the tables looking out over Bushey park you will definitely feel that you have been spoilt !! And they love children - which helps as I have four!! Even if the children are being a little fussy they will try to make them a dish that keeps them happy. Good wine selection and very good prices. Definitely a must if you are visiting Hampton Court, Kingston or Bushey Park. Extra lovely on Sunday lunch time.

A lovely Italian right near Hampton Court Palace, with great views over Bushy Park and the deer who come right up to the window. My favourite local restaurant as nothing is too much trouble and the staff are really attentive offering a personalised service.I have visited on numerous occasions and the food is great, the wine list is not cheap but the wine list has a range of prices. I love coming here and for me its highly recommended. I always love to come here for special occasions and for a lovely relaxing meal, but book in advance!

We decided not to eat in the over-priced cafes in Hampton Court grounds and headed out of Lion Gate (by the maze) and found this Italian a few minutes walk away. So pleased we did. Food and service were excellent and there was a great kids' menu. I had lasagne which was delicious and my husband had a pizza, again excellent with a lovely crispy base. All very good value for money. As a real bonus the restaurant has amazing views over Bushy Park and with the French windows open it felt like being on holiday!

Lovely views of Bushy Park. Rustic decor, great service, top quality food. No intimacy though - not really anywhere to tuck yourselves away, so prepare to hear a few of your fellow diners' conversations.

We returned after a few years absence to this local restaurant for a late lunch and to view the deer. What a lovely venue this is and the food has improved but in comparison with other nearby places, the prices have risen predictably. They serve a three course set menu at £25 which makes for a less expensive bil. We, however, chose from the A La Carte and shared a delicious Calamari Fritti starter perfectly cooked in superb tempura batter; a good portion of 16 rings and for mains I ordered from the 'specials' - Pappardelle - a pasta dish with 8 scallops (very generous) complete with corals, cooked in a really tasty creamy sauce. My partner ate veal Escallops Vitello in marsala sauce with steamed vegetables. To complete the meal we ordered a pitcher of sangria (£21.95) which took the total bill, with an Affogato to finish, to around £40 each including a service charge for our waitress Ornela, who was managing all three occupied tables on her own. The freshly cooked, well sauced and generously portioned food combined with the location must attract the discerning diner - whether from home or overseas. Just one criticism - at these prices the rather measly bread basket (at £3.50) should be complimentary.

Choosing this restaurant is a choice I won't regret. I'm usually skeptic about Italian restaurants overseas, because they're either expensive, or not good in quality. This one is a good deal. Me and my partner decided to step in without a reservation, but luckily we did not have to wait for a table. As starter we ordered mussels with tomato sauce, which was quite good. As mains I had duck breast with orange and honey sauce (Anatra all'arancia), and my partner had lobster spaghetti. Both tasty dishes with amazing taste. Service was pretty good, the waiters came frequently to check if were alright and we were not rushed despite taking our time. Price is reasonable, considering the quality of the food, location and service.I hardly visit Hampton, but if I had to I'd go back here hands down.

This is a very good restaurant. The tables are set well apart, the view over Bushey Park is great especially on a summer evening. The staff are friendly and anxious to please. Most importantly the food is excellent - fresh and flavoursome . We've eaten there several times as a couple and in larger groups and its always been spot on.Parking can be difficult during the day but if you are prepared to walk a short distance out of Hampton Court you will be well rewarded.

Went there recently for a quick meal. Lovely pleasant service from the start, not rushed. Food was excellent.

I went to La Fiamma with my husband and 2 friends, we were seated straight away as the restaurant was partly empty. I ordered the fillet steak medium rare, it came medium so I told the waitress it was not what I asked for, the manager came with a disgusted attitude that how dare I question the steak, I told her the steak was medium not medium rare, she told me "well this is how we cook our steaks", i told her this is not what i ordered, she then reluctantly took the steak back and I waited for my steak, only to have a rare steak arrived. I again told the waitress i ordered medium rare. The manager then came to say well this is what you wanted and again i repeated I ordered medium rare, the chef then came and said well I have been cooking for 14 years and this is how I cook my steaks and walked off, the manager then continue to argue with me and stated that I had WASTED two steaks. I then said I did not waste two steaks if the steaks were not cooked properly that was no fault of mine. The manager had the audacity to tell me not to be loud whilst I was complaining, even though I had not raised my voice. I did not receive an apology but had attitude thrown at me as I dared to question the way my food was cooked. I was not given the option of ordering anything else, the manager took my food and did not return. Awful experience, will never go there again. It seemed that the staff was trained to agree with the manager as they would not disagree with her. Overall experience absolutely disgusting. The chef should learn how to cook steaks and the manager needs to learn hospitality and not to bully customers.
