Manoo & Rita in Richmond upon Thames

The best place to eat in Richmond in my opinion, besides the quality of food which is impeccable, what sets this place apart is that the staff here really put their heart in what they do. You'll feel a comfortable and warm atmosphere just like being in a friend's house. You'll always feel good here and eat well

I had a really lovely relaxing pizza dinner with a friend. The service was warm and courteous, the atmosphere informal and relaxed, and the food really delicious. Take my advice and get the garlic butter-brushed crust on your pizza. The value was great, and I finished off with a really delicious bit of homemade cake. The best cake I've had in ages, moist and really flavoursome. The whole experience was welcoming and helped me wind down after a long week. I'll be back.

Pizza again at Manoos' last night - as good as ever. Brilliant pizzas and always an interesting starter to ring the changes. Difficult sometimes to leave room for the delightful puddings. Never disappoints !

Sentirsi a casa! This restaurant offers a truly authentic Italian dining experience, run by Italians who specialize in traditional Italian cuisine. My family and I have visited several times for both brunch and dinner, and we’ve consistently enjoyed the warm atmosphere, welcoming staff, and exceptional food. We’re excited to return again this Friday, especially for their delicious pizza, which is a highlight every week.

I sadly no longer visit Rita&Manoo as often as I used to since we have moved out of the area. However, I had the chance to drop by again today and delighted to report that the charming welcome, excellent coffee and dangerously irresistible food remains unchanged. Definitely still a warm and friendly, cosy and rewarding haven.

First time visiting after seeing the positive reviews, and I thought I’d give them a try. I was greeted by two lovely ladies who took my order. I had the Labbuffata breakfast and was blown away! It was so flavorful and beautifully presented. Thank you for the amazing experience!

What can I say, the Italian genuine experience everyone wish for, teletrasported in London! Manu, Rita and the lovely staff are there to make you fell at home. The food is simply divine! All homemade fresh daily, baked and deliver with love ❤️Laura C

Lovely little Italian bakery offering a great selection of sweet and savoury baked goodies. Very friendly and great customer service.

A European cafe in the heart of Richmond. What can I say. It feels like home in here. 3 aunties run the whole place and on Fridays they have pizza! They have a cheesey eggplant pastry too, I keep eating it way too fast haha.

Very welcoming, very kind girls

Delicious authentic Italian Pizza. Lovely service

Very friendly staff and good coffee! ⁶ thanks 4s45

Food just like my Italian grandmother made! 🤤 each mouthful takes me back to Italy 🇮🇹

Best sausage rolls, cotto ham sandwiches and pizza for miles around. Probably because they’re hand made with love by Manoo!

Love this local spot. Such a gem! Food is delicious. Using high quality ingredients. The service is outstanding.

Fantastic so cool great people owners staff people who come there amazing food all made here bread out of this world and all the goodies so tasty and fresh pizza 50 stars come over quick seats always busy with people comming and going happy people all smiling cheers

Best pizza in town! Base, sauce, everything. Proper Italian food and service.

This is without a doubt one of the best Italian dining experiences you'll find in London. I've had lunch, dinner and a take away and every experience has been first class. Beautiful food, incredible staff and a wonderful atmosphere.

Love this place! They made me a vegan menu and it was amazing. Oat latte was also great, smooth and creamy. Staffs were nice and friendly. I will try their brownies which many people had bought.

I had an Americano coffee in here before work. It was really good and the staff are very friendly. The freshly prepared food on the counter looked amazing. I look forward to my next visit. Pizza on Friday maybe!

We love going here any day of the week. Friday is particularly fun with the homemade pizza. The owners are super lovely and welcoming. I highly recommend this place. We will be back.

Great pizza thanks for having us !

I must have been having an off day when I gave this place an average review before. I have been again & found them to be an simply excellent place to grab lunch.

Great cafe with really friendly staff

Stunning pizza, amazing service, incredible vibes. Best pizza I’ve had in a very very long time

It is criminal how they can only do a pizza night on Friday, how dare they cruelly present me with the best pizza I've had in London and then tell me I can only have it on a Friday, utter cruelty!

Stumbled upon this gem whilst looking for a snack. What a lucky find. The staff, the atmosphere, the service and omg the food!! The pistachio tart was heavenly. I wish I didn't live 200 miles away. This would be my go-to place.

7-8 minute walk from St. Margaret's train station. Great Italian style breakfast place. Lovely lady explained all options, because it's a lot to choose from. 👍 Had a Ham & Pesto calzone with a coffee. For a desert, I had homemade tiramisu. Another customer recommended it, told me I had to try. 😅 The lady who made it explained to me that she does it without rum, so kids can have it as well. Highly recommend for everyone, especially if you want to try something unusual, something different. 😃

Great Italian pizza and wonderful women running this place.

Big thanks for your 🙏 excellent service and coffee! Organic Cola Drink 👌

Great food, friendly staff. Real authentic vibe.

Really good coffee and the almond croissant was warm & fresh. All served by lovely people 😊

A breakfast so good I had to stop and take a picture of it, grazie, fantastico!

excellent quality products, super guaranteed, fantastic atmosphere

Everything a local cafe should be; delicious home cooked Italian food. Welcoming, homely and run by the 2 most hardworking and lovely women Rita and Manoo. So lucky to have this as our local.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Always a 5 star for Manuella and Rita as the service, food and company are always superb. The friendliest and most welcome place in town.

A very warm welcome, delicious bowl of seasonal soup and pastel del nata! What a great find. I've been passed this place loads of times and never really knew what it was. I was not disappointed and will definitely be back.

Friendly welcome, delicious coffee.

The staffs are passionate and kind, foods are yummy!

I had a tasty bacon sandwich with a couple of coffees. Service was quick and relaxed very comfortable

The best thing about this cafe - apart from the delicious bread, the Italian coffee, the fresh lunch dishes and the Friday pizzas - is that they feel like friends. It's really nice to find such a comfortable and happy place to spend a bit of time in and relax. Friday is a great day to visit as they do Stonebaked pizza, which is superb. They also have an option with vegan cheese, which isn't so bad really - it's a great option if you can't have dairy. I don't think there's another cafe in the area like it - Manuela seems to know all her customers by name; very impressive. The panettone they sell at Christmas is the best hand made one you can buy - it's worth the little bit extra that you pay, but they sell out very quickly so be fast. Recommended.

Good coffee and sandwich. Very friendly service

Cute Italian cafe on the twickenham end of Richmond. Watery cappuccino with big bubbles and no microfoam. Overly sweet cakes. Would love to try their pizzas one evening as hopefully they’re better- but sadly not impressed thus far!

We ate here recently (3 of us) and had a wonderful time. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. It was such a relaxed atmosphere in there. Cafe by day and pizzeria by night (on Fridays). We had a pizza each. Mine was lovely, one of the best I have ever tasted. This place is a little treasure to be discovered and not that expensive for the great quality and quantity of food.

Delicious Friday night pizza in this busy friendly restaurant

Fantastic pizzas had the special of the day which was Bolognese and was great! Perfect size too

Delicious authentic Sicilian home cooked food with beer and wine to match. The staff are so lovely and made us feel like we were in a Sicilian home; it’s a real gem of a place and I’ll be going there every time I’m in town!

Nice little Cafe. Food was good value. Coffee was OK.

Lovely place, went in for a coffee and something to eat. Very nice

We visited a friend who lived locally after our Kew 10K run. My friend recommended this place for breakfast. On entering, the ladies were very welcoming. We settled in and ordered some nice brunch meal. It was just what we needed after burning all the calories. The food was lush. I could not help and buy some big sausage rolls too :) Manoo & Rita are a nice little family friendly corner if you don't want to be disappointed. Thanks to my friend for introducing this place. We will visit again when we are in the area. Namaste :)

My local go to coffee shop with plenty of savoury and sweet selection that are all excellent. Would definitely recommend

Super friendly cafe with lovely bread, sandwiches and coffee! The staff were very welcoming, attentive and friendly.

Manoo and Rita are like a family. They have great vibe and friendly atmosphere all the time. Both Manoo and Rita greet their customers by their first names and generous smile :) Their food is just amazing - fresh, homemade and authentic! And the bread is just so tasty. They are effortlessly amazing with their service and food. I am there at least once a week 💕

Nice coffee...friendly service and comfortable cafe. The pizzas on a Friday are good too...very tasty

Very welcoming rustic cafe with a selection of both sweet and savory snacks. I just popped in for a coffee and use of their free WiFi. Coffee was superb, nice and strong!

Very friendly. Limited menu, but so what? Local business well worth supporting. Manoo always gives us a great welcome as does Rita.

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had in my life!

I popped in on 18th October 2021 for some breakfast, and it was exceptional. I gave the woman plenty of options as to what to do for me, by way of saying I wanted an egg sandwich with either bacon or sausage. I was not hothead how the egg was prepared, nor was I fussed on what sauce I got. What was served up was sensational. Whenever I'll be back in the area, I'll make the same order again......only double the amount.

Great place to eat, or to have a coffee, with very quick service. The atmosphere, and the two lovely owners are extremely welcoming and nurturing.

Love this place, great service amazing fresh food, I am there everyday, there breakfast is just outstanding...

Brilliant place with amazing fresh food, super friendly staff and excellent atmosphere. Will definitely be going back for pizza!

Feel healthy and eat @manoo, everything fresh and home made, I love their veggie soup and breakfast menu

When you enter it feels like being at home with friends, you immediately become familiar and familiar with everyone. The decor is simple and enveloping like a classic diner bar, which you would frequent in Italy..😋

Delicious lentil soup and pizzas 🍕 I will definitely go back anytime I want a tasty lunch in our neighborhood

I have always walked past here, saw that they do delivery. Wow my soup and sandwich was delicious and fresh full of flavour. I will definitely be visiting the cafe.

My new favourite pizza place! Staff are lovely and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. Can't wait to visit again to try the bakery and other offerings.

On Friday evenings they do pizzas using the wood fire oven. It is as authentic as you can get in the area, pizzas are properly made and the dough is excellent and properly proven. The atmosphere is also fantastic, a bit of Italy in the middle of Twickenham. You don’t get that in pretty much any other place in the area.

We picked up takeaway coffees. Very friendly staff and good coffee.

Wonderful hone made food, coffee and greetings!

What a gem. Quirky little pizza and coffee cafe. Lovely people own and run this place - staff are so friendly- food is all home cooked and absolutely delicious! Do support these guys - they deserve it and you wont be disappointed

Excellent food.Great staff with a winning way.It's a pleasure going there!

This is one of the best bakeries in Richmond. All home made and the owner takes pride in her baking and it shows. We had a custard tart and the owner gave us a free sample of her amazing Italian cookies (don’t the name) which was out of this World! Pizza nights look amazing and it’s such an inviting cafe. Highly recommend going over the bridge and visiting Manoo ❤️ and support local businesses

Just happen to pass this place today on my bike. Quality coffee and cakes. Top service. Will return. Deserves 10*

Top Italian Bakery/Coffee shop Fresh Pizza made on Friday!

Me and my boyfriend are in love with their Danish pastries but to be honest everything they sell is delicious! Manoo is soo lovely and friendly! We can’t wait for them to open to eat in so we can also enjoy their cool music playlist ☺️

My local go to for baked treats: super friendly staff and delicious breads, cakes, pastries, pizzas (Friday is pizza day!) arrancini and other lunch stuffs....and hot drinks and sweet treats of course... if you can leave without a slice of chocolate cake you're stronger than me (I recommend you don't) You can phone in an order for collection to save a bit of time too: they'll have it ready and waiting for you. When open as usual there's indoor seating, and it's on one level with a level access through a single door from the street, and a couple of bike hoops outside too. Enjoy!

Lovely pizza, coffee and nice people. Thank you!

Just finished our delicious friday pizzas - perfect treat for indoor friday :-)

Great Arancini and coffee, must try. The igialin dishes are great

Lovely little cafe, so willing to help. They didn't have veggie croissant sandwiches left so made more to order - all with a smile!

Friendly owners, Manoo & Rita. Good coffee and pastries.

I moved away recently and I will miss the delicious bread and croissants. Also great stop for a quick bite to eat or a coffee and cake.

Authentic Italian food served in a friendly environment!

Best chocolate cake I've had in years. Delicious lasagne and a fresh new vibe

I have lived all over London and eaten and spent time in cafes everywhere. The quality of bespoke hospitality and the consistent high quality of the food, plus the authentic Italian vibe is unbeatable. A real gem.

We love coming there. They are so friendly and their coffees are great!

Wonderful and warm and welcoming

Lovely Italian breakfasts, fresh sourdough and very friendly staff.

Love the bread, great coffee, friendly staff too.too.

Spicy sausage breakfast skewers are incredible, the large baked beans heavenly and the coffee is the best I've had in London.

Delicious food, great coffee. Would have been 5 stars but for the bench seating at the larger tables.

Incorrect openining times. Wasted my time driving there for 40 minutes.

Great place, very relaxed and lovely staff. Highly recommended pizzas and coffee.

Excellent service and Italian breakfast. Great coffee.

Great coffee and always playing Motown and Soul music.

Enjoyable breakfast at Ruben's. Full Italian is excellent. Lovely bakery too - delicious selection of bread.

Used to be my and my family's favourite, #1 choice for Pizza and breads in the area, especially preferred Pizza from the Richmond Branch (East Twickenham). However our favourite pizza chef (slim guy) recently left to Portugal. After a recent visit (few weeks ago, 18th July) was very disappointed with the quality of Pizza. New Pizza chef spoiled the taste of "Ruben's" Pizza. It was overcooked, a little burnt and very dry. Even looked as if someone hurriedly threw the ingredients onto the dough, and it wasn't busy at all at that time. Two stars are for the waitress for he great customer service, the lady is always very polite and friendly, who also worked before in Twickenham Branch.

Delicious, hearty breakfast and good coffee. What else do you need to start the day off right?

Popped in for an off-peak lunch pizza. Staff where busy setting up for dinner but no trouble to serve. Pizza was great, the picture doesn't do it justice. The base particularly awesome, great flavour. Toppings generously applied. Also purchased a loaf of rye bread. Beautiful flavour, great loaf. All in all a great find.

Excellent pizza, this review is intended to draw attention to the poor user experience on ordering. Rubens refused to take order over the phone and directed me to thier online ordering form, which can at best be described as Kafkaesque. The slider to select your pick up time required the dexterity of flautist. Personal details to the order of a tax return were required to set up an acvouna. Payment was a long drawn out affair and the confirmation email was highly misleading. Please improve.
