La Dolce Vita in Richmond upon Thames

My friends and I go here all the time. Best Italian pizza you will ever have. Lovely staff lovely atmosphere, prices are good. All in all great restaurant, would highly recommend.

First time at a lovely cosy restaurant within walking distance of our house Made most welcome and thoroughly enjoyed the experience Will definitely return Annie Tivendale

Very attentative, ordered starter and main within 10mins. Food was hot and very tasty. Parking is short on spaces, but do not let this put you off, the food is worth it, A1 great food and service.

Great service from Maurizio. Bolognese was delicious and the beer went down very well with it. Also glad that they offer deals for students. Will definitely be coming back for more!

A lovely welcoming authentic Italian restaurant. Nothing is too much trouble and the food is wholesome and delicious

Wonderful food and service. We were given special attention for a birthday celebration. Fantastic attentive and engaging hospitality.

Great authentic food, friendly atmosphere!

Best Italian food in the city. The service was so good!!!

Top restaurant for Italian food in Twickenham.

We had lunch here on Saturday from start to finish the whole experience was very good. Lovely choice of food, both tasty and reasonably priced. Host Maurizio makes you feel very welcomed and is very attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Six of us went for dinner here on Mother's Day and we all had a lovely time. My granddaughter Olivia has allergies and the staff were meticulous in ensuring everything was ok for her. The Pizzas and pasta are all freshly made and the steak that my son and I enjoyed, was tender and flavoursome. It is a traditional Italian restaurant, with a friendly, family vibe who cater for vegans; My youngest son was very happy with the choices on offer. We will definitely return to La dolce vita to savour more delicious flavours and enjoy their excellent hospitality It was a delightful afternoon all round

I really do love this restaurant! Had another wonderful meal here yesterday for Mothers Day. The service is always spot on and the food is delicious! If you're looking for authentic Italian food, in a nice setting, at affordable prices this is the place to be. Maurizio and team will always make you feel welcome. I have had many great meals at this restaurant and look forward to dining here again soon.

I visited La Dolce Vita with my family for the first time. The staff were incredibly friendly, very efficient and helpful. The food and service were excellent. We will be returning very soon.

Wonderful experience! Food was amazing, atmosphere was otherworldly. Get the Pico with the truffle and salsicchi, they call it the best meal of the house. Francesco made our night a 10/10. Will definitely be coming back!!

Couldn’t recommend this place more! I celebrated my birthday here and Luca put in so much effort with his amazing service. The food was delicious and quick to arrive. Had such a lovely time and will definitely return!!!

The best italian food I’ve ever tried in London. Grazie mille Maurizio per averci fatto sentire a casa. 100% recommended

By far the best pizza in Teddington/Kingston. Been here multiple times, quality ingredients and great service with lots to try. My girlfriend popped in before they had to shut and the pizza as per usual was fantastic. The dough is fresh and the taste is phenomenal. I'll be coming back that's for sure.

This place is a phenomenal Italian in Teddington. The food is really like you are in Italy and my wife is Italian so we spend a lot of time there. There's a new Sicilian chef who has some specials in the menu. I can't recommend this place enough.

It's always a pleasure to eat at La Dolce Vita, Teddington! Maurizio and his team are always attentive with excellent service and quality food on offer and served. This place is a regular for us and we love going there. The menu has plenty to choose from and the prices are decent too.

Simply delicious! Everything you’d want it to be. ❤️

Friendly Italian welcome, great Italian food. Varied menu for all tastes, pizza, pasta, and Italian classic washed down from a good wine list.

The most phenomenal arincini and lasagne I have ever eaten. I absolutely loved the personal touch when the owner texted to check I was still coming and followed up the following day to ensure I enjoyed it! Definitely coming again!! A little pricey but worth every single penny!

Can’t believe we’ve lived in Teddington for so long and never been to this gem of a restaurant. Buzzy atmosphere, incredibly friendly and attentive staff and delicious food. We will certainly be returning!

Great food and Friendly staff! Thank you:)

The customer service was excellent and the team were so friendly and helpful. All the food was delicious and tasted really fresh. Would definitely recommend the tomato garlic pizza bread. Definitely recommend this place and would return.

Maurizio and the team @ La Dolce Vita never failed to deliver. Great atmosphere, the restaurant was buzzing on Rugby day. The food and service were equally as good, our whole party loved their meals. I would highly recommend to all and will visit again the next time I am in the area. Thanks for a great afternoon.

Extremely good food, amazing atmosphere and all that at resealable price. My favourite Italian restaurant in the area. Make sure you try their home made Tiramisu.

Real Italian food, quality and service exceeded our expectations!! Well done to Claudio and Maurizio!

We had a great time. Everyone was delighted with their lunch and the waiters were very attentive and amusing. We were warned it might be too busy because of the rugby but in fact the crowds were off to the game in good time for us. A delightful restaurant which I plan to return to. The sea food stew was very good.

Awesome food, service. Place was on a main road and such trouble to find a parking. But it's not their fault, it's London's fault....very nice host. Friendly and added service - he made my daughter eat up broccoli and raspberry from the cheesecake 'nicely'....Definitely worth a visit. They even make all meat dishes without meat for vegetarians, so ask!

Once again another amazing lunch in this amazing restaurant. The food is full of flavour, I had scallopes to start and seafood pasta as a main..the scallopes were served with pea mash and wrapped with pancetta, the pasta was out of the moon, full of fish with the right amount of chilli and garlic gnam gnam I will definitely be back soon.. Always amazing! 👏

Great service,lovely atmosphere and one of the best pizza i had in a long timere .keep up the good job,guys 👏

Another great Successful evening at La Dolce Vita!! We found a very warm and pleasant atmosphere with a nice welcome and a very professional service plus a lovely food selection I am a regular guest of La Dolce Vita, and I consider it my preferable restaurant! The best one!!! Thanks Maurizio and your staff for your full commitment!!!!!! Just a few days ago I came here with my friends and, as always, we had a great further lunch experience with fabulous tasty Italian Pizza and Pasta!!! Thank you Maurizio and Team!! We will definitey return! You are in top of my list for tasty food, great service and pleasant atmosphere!!!!

I ordered 2 pizzas, they arrived in 11 minutes, they were both undercooked and one of them literally leaked out of the box. I don’t recommend for delivery..

Great service and great food at a reasonable price. Will definitely return!

Beef carpaccio, Fish stew, panna cotta and blueberry compote. Olives and bread included. This restaurant should be full every lunchtime not just in December Every time we go here, we are amazed at the quality of the food and the extremely reasonable bill. Maurizio is a wonderful host with an encyclopaedic memory for his customers. I hope this restaurant continues for another 15 years.

I really must say, the food was amazing, beautifully cooked, the service was impeccable, you will definitely see us again! I didn't realise there was Italy on my door step. Many thanks from Dawn and myself ❤️

Had an amazing meal with family, great authentic food, atmosphere was perfect. The team and service were friendly and genuinely welcoming… felt like we’d known them for years.

This is the second time I have been, once for lunch and once for dinner. Really lovely food and service was great, will definitely go back again.

We stopped in for a meal before watching the Harlequins game and the food was fantastic, the service was quick and attentive and the staff were very friendly. La Dolce Vita will become my go to stop off whenever I’m in the area.

Just the best and most authentic Italian in the area. Only problem is what to chose. It’s all so good. I tried something new this week and now I really don’t know what to do as the gnocchi was as delicious as I’ve had in my fave Italian overseas if not better. I mean WOW it was really divine.

Amazing food and amazing service. Food tasted homemade, traditional and really good. The atmosphere is great, cozy and very enjoyable. Will comeback again.

Excellent food, great staff and good atmosphere. The food is very good quality, well presented and good value. I would highly recommend!

A great selection of vegan and vegetarian options at a very reasonable price. Service was great a friendly team who made the visit special. Will certainly book next time I’m in the area.

AMAZING food and such good service. I love this place!!!

Top class and well priced, now for trying it for lunch!

We are here for vacation and after eating in several restaurants in London my kids chose this as the best restaurant of the trip!

This is truly an Italian gem in Teddington! Lucca will make your ordinary dinner a stunning joy! The food is lovely, service is perfect and great atmosphere. We go there every week now.

Friendly and convivial atmosphere with very attentive service. Had the pheasant cannelloni from the Specials of the Day menu, which was excellent, as was the Sea Bass. Starters included butterflied prawns, Gratin aubergine rolls with ricotta and red pesto, and Polenta Fritta - all were...

Everything was awesome. One of the best italian restaurant.

I had to come here to leave a review as I’m absolutely sick of spending money in Teddington on terribly tasteless food. I ordered on Deliveroo this evening, the food arrived on time and hot however it lacked in any flavour. So so bland! An arribiata pasta that I had to add my own flavour/spice too. I have to say that’s a first that I’ve ordered food from an Italian and been sure I could have made it better myself.

Love it. Food always great and the staff always very friendly.

The menu's pictures absolutely represent (if not underestimate) the utter quality, deliciousness, and culinary craft of the food in person! They are not only delicious, but thoroughly detailed in presentation; you can discern the chef's passion and respect for cooking. The waiter was a delight to speak to, and the atmosphere was incredibly reminiscient of Rome! Will definitely come back again, super pleased.

Great food, great service. Would certainly come back. Pizza was fab Desserts also a highlight! Nice little local spot, recommended :)

Lovely meal at this authentic and friendly Italian restaurant. Incredibly good value and a very high standard of food. Some excellent seasonal specials as well. It was clearly a very popular place with the locals and they were doing a good takeaway business as well....

Maurizio and his team are wonderul hosts, which serves classical italian food in a nice and cosy environment. Recommended!

A gorgeous little known gem in Teddington. The food was insanely good and the service impeccable. We can't wait to go back in the summer and make the most of the garden. Excellent drinks, atmosphere and food. We had 3 courses and loved the little touches like olives for the table which so many places don't bother to do anymore! We had an excellent early dinner and could not fault a single thing. Forget any other Italian place in the area, this is the real deal. Every mouthful was perfect

Lovely food, unpretentious service. We really liked it.

Lovely little restaurant with a really cosy feel. Service was good and ambiene and the food was lovely. Will definitely visit again.

1st visit to this restaurant for my sons birthday . What a fantastic find , great food, fabulous service and lovely family friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend and definitely go back again

We got there a bit late for lunch on a quiet day. The waiter was very good and accommodating. We really enjoyed the food, and the kids meals were good too.

Good evening, once again I confirm that it is the best restaurant in London..I ordered 3 fried dishes and an exceptional margherita pizza at home this evening. Well done! See you soon

A quality dining experience. Excellent menu choices, with really fast service, and a friendly atmosphere. My first visit here, but it won't be my last!

We had a golf club Christmas meal , with 26 people , Maurizio arranged the tables for us perfectly, the food was wonderful as always and they could not do enough for us. A little hidden family gem .

This is a small place but they are BIG on flavor and service. Everyone loved their meals. The service was spot on. The lasagna is the best I've ever had. We had a party of 10 and they managed us very well. I'd definitely recommend you stopping in to experience this hidden gem!

Great to be back at the Dolce Vita again - food, service and ambience as good as we remember. Hope to be back soon …

Really good place. The pizza was amazing and the waiter Luca made us feel really comfortable. 100% recommended

Great service and pizzas here. Highly recommend

Stopped in for lunch. Food was really delicious. Loved the risotto and the apple strudel. And the staff were very kind and welcoming. A great find

This a great restaurant that does quality Italian food, definitely worth a visit. It is street parking, but I didn't have too much trouble finding a place to park nearby.

Best restaurant in the area. There is no service experience like it - we are greeted like old friends and feel like we're coming home. We've always had brilliant food, with excellent and reasonably priced wine.

Fantastic restaurant. Visited as part of a large group (20 people) and we were really well looked after. I had arranged the group would pre-order from the Festive Menu to help make it efficient. There was not a problem, everyone got the food they ordered and all the plates of food arrived on time. Portions were generous and the service was really quick and attentive which was impressive (almost intuitive!). Highly recommend eating here - it's a little gem! Everyone in the group enjoyed their lunch and visiting the restaurant.

This has been No.1 in Teddington for some time and even though it had been 2 years since our last visit - you can still understand why. Amazing friendly service with a smile and really nice food that is not an extortionate price. It is...

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant. The food was just wonderful, very well made, and authentically Italian. Luca was a wonderful host. I will certainly be going back.

Fantastic lunch - we really enjoyed it. Thanks so much!! Rice balls and polenta for starters and fresh pasta dishes as mains. Was great.

Friendly family restaurant, and the food is as good as ever

La Dolce Vita is one of the loveliest family run restaurants in Teddington. It is old fashioned charm mixed with an extensive modern menu. The food & wine are delicious, authentically Italian, great value for money and the service is fantastic. I have been going...

We recommend this wonderful Italian restaurant to everyone we know. We have been here on many occasions to celebrate after a conference, and our colleagues always enjoy the delicious food and the very friendly atmosphere. Maurizio, the owner, is always welcoming and goes out of...

Secret Italian gem of a restaurant in Teddington. Amazing food and prices. Visit once a week at least.

Our favourite local restaurant. Excellent food - perfect night in take away.

Very friendly service & attentive to dietary requirements - I am Vegan & Mum is GF - nothing was too much trouble recommend

We are staying in a hotel and the food there didn’t look very good. So we went on Tripadvisor and came across la dolce vita. It looked cute and menu looked good. What we got was a great night out! With really good food and...

The most HORRIBLE pizza ever had. Ordered pepperoni pizza via Ubereats, this is how it looks. Pepperoni feels like cheap ham, not even sure what that is, the bread was watery soggy, almost no sauce which makes it taste like soggy dough. Would never visit or re-order from them.

Great meal with 10 people. Food was good. The wine was great. Very friendly service good without being intrusive.

Pleasant Italian Restaurant very convenient for a visit to Strawberry Hill. Good service, reasonable prices and Authentic Italian food. I had a good Tagliatella ragu a la a Cingale.

I've recently come back from a holiday during which we were eating fairly fussy food. While I was away, I kept saying what I really want is a great lasagne. So, when my other half was away for the weekend, I capitalised on the opportunity....

We went for our wedding anniversary meal here. The food was divine, really delicious. Prawns and lasagna yum yum! Francisco was our waiter, he was very lovely and funny. Amazing customer service and excellent food, will be returning.

Really lovely place, so many gluten free options on the menu and amazing service from our waiter Francesco. Would definitely recommend coming back!

Delicious food, great value and excellent service. Real buzzy atmosphere on a Saturday night for yet another delicious meal at La Dolce Vita. Maurizio and Luca are charming hosts.

I spent my birthday here, last Friday evening. We had a fabulous time. Food was great, service was great, thanks to Luca, and the other staff (sorry names unknown). The birthday singing was a bonus, with the whole restaurant joining in. Thank you so much, to all the staff. We will definitely be back. Another thing that I would like to add, is that the restaurant did not put a service charge on the bill, unlike the majority of cafes and restaurants currently. Which meant we could leave a tip they thoroughly deserved, without feeling pressured. I hate being told what to tip. A tip is for great service, which we definitely had.

A good spot for lunch or dinner, after several recommendations from the Teddington faithful. 3 x birthday parties on our night and packed to the rafters, so a great atmosphere, although difficult to hear yourself think! But who cares, great food, service and value for...

We have been regular customers to this restaurant from the beginning. I celebrated my birthday here with my family, with two young grandchildren. Maurizio was there to greet us and then Luca took over. As ever we had such a lovely meal and it was...

I have been ordering takeout from this Italian restaurant for years and it has always been wonderful ! But recently I have eaten at the restaurant and the warm welcome and family atmosphere followed by excellent rustic Italian food is by far the best eating...

Really really good pizza🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝thank you so much!!

Beautiful food Had a gorgeous steak wrapped in Parma ham and cheese !

Such a great restaurant, the food is authentic Italian and the staff are so helpful and attentive. Loved it and we will return

A Hidden Jem. 💎 All food we had was so tasty. Good selection of wine. Friendly service and good atmosphere. Highly recommended. I will definitely go back again.

This is probably the best Italian restaurant I have ever visited, the food was exquisite, there is nothing I could mark them down for.

A fabulous meal! Great food and excellent service. Maurizio made the whole experience right from the booking to the event itself a total joy. Would highly recommend this authentic, Italian restaurant to anyone! Thank you!
