Good food and service. Buzzing atmosphere but not overly exuberant. Good wine list with plenty of choice - will return again.

Have been here several times in the past and been very happy. Tonight it was SO cold! Kept our coats on for first half an hour. Food average, give it no more than that and definitely not value for money. On the plus side, staff very nice.

Great atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The restaurant was busy by 7pm. I do think the tables were a little close together. Pincho sangria is delicious as was the food. We had all vegetarian tapas aside from one seafood dish. All very tasty. Good value on the whole too. Thoroughly recommend.

We had a large selection of the tapas on offer, dessert, a couple of cocktails and a lovely bottle of Rioja. Would highly recommend the marinated octopus, gambas con ajillo and zaatar coated halloumi. We also had some bread and olives, patatas bravas and the pollo inferno which was also extremely tasty - I especially enjoyed soaking up the sauce it came in with my leftover bread. The service was friendly, professional and quick, and the pudding was beautiful. We had the crema Catalonia (a spiced twist on a creme brûlée served with forest fruit) and the sticky toffee pudding which were both lovely. Would definitely return as the quality of the food and size of the portions was extremely good for the price, as well as the venue just being a generally charming, romantic and cozy place. Thankyou for a lovely evening!

Picked this place via Google Maps and the reviews. Rated 4.8 average, we were not disappointed tonight! Had a selection of 5 tapas (including the flaming chorizo!) between the 3 of us, then shared a paella for 2. Drinks were a bottle of the merlot, and coffees to finish.

We have used this restaurant for several years. The welcome and service has always been amazing. Our recent visit was far from this! We were greeted with a stern have you booked, which incidentally we had. We were presented with menu sheets that had seen better days tired and covered with food stains. We chose our drinks. I had a Pinot Grigio which was "rough". What has happened to San Leo or a good quality house wine? We ordered our tapas food, this included Pollo Inferno which was brought to the table luke warm. It was replaced when we complained but with a dish that was too spicy to enjoy. The patatas bravas , which our usually a favourite, were ok but served with a watered down chilli sauce - very disappointing. Roasted cod came with mushy lentils and was tasteless. Mentioned these things to the waitress who asked had everything been ok , but really got no reaction. We think this place has changed hands recently, but is still trading on the reputation earned by the previous owners and staff. Won't be back!

Our family having just come back from Menorca after an excellent two week villa break decided to Carry on the Mediterranean theme for my birthday. This place was ok but could and must do better. Service is on not great. Having ordered our mains we also ordered bread and olives to fill the gap while waiting for the mains. Imagine our annoyance when very shortly after everything arrived together. Disappointing was the portion of paella. It is served as a minimum for two and three of us ordered it. Astounded to find a small paella dish meant for three which barely was enough for three. I queried this and was told it was right. Yet the waitress returned to say the manager offered two extra tapas dishes free. So clearly they knew it was an issue. I believe that if we had ordered paella for four we would have got two of those pans so why one between three? Frankly we feel ripped off. In Menorca we paid the same price for a paella twice the size.

Great location to eat al fresco in Twickenham's premier restaurant street which is helpfully pedestrianised Thursday - Sunday from 6pm. Decent enough menu that is Med based rather than authentic Spanish. Unfortunately the classic Spanish dishes they do serve came to suit an all inclusive package holiday hotel taste bud not a family restaurant . The food is middle of the road 5/6 out of 10 across the board which is OK for a quick lunch but not if you are paying £82inc drinks (4 Sangria). No sign on the bill if the service was included or at our discretion so I had to enquire . Rounded it up to £95 for a bang average meal. They need to do better

2nd time I’ve tried to get a table here only to be told they were full, while clearly they weren’t with over 60% of the tables free. 1st time about a year ago same story; thought we’d give it another go as we are local and thought could have been a one-off bad experience. Sadly not and this time manger said to me, “I’d love to take your money but I’m full..!!! He couldn’t explain the empty tables. Pretty poor way to treat a prospective customer and we shall never ever try this restaurant again. If the manager reads this post, I would say him it’s not only about taking my money... how about you’d have “loved to have welcomed you tonight” etc..

Our first visit to Pincho but we will be back. It totally lived up to expectations and we had a great selection of tapas. The menu is varied and enticing and we were spoilt for choice. Particular favourites were the pork cheek which was melt-in-the-mouth tender and the pork plumo which was equally good. The tuna was also a firm favourite with our party - delicate and flavoursome. Loved the house sangria and the grapefruit gin and tonic. The service was first class as well.

Dined here with 7 work colleagues as recommended by another colleague who had previously been. We arrived during a very busy time as the restaurant was full but our table was quickly made ready for us. We chose a mixture of meat / fish dishes between us and every single one was superb! I would recommend especially the tuna in tomato and basil oil, chorizo in flaming brandy and chicken skewers dishes as these for me personally were some of the best tapas dishes I've ever eaten but you cant go wrong whatever you choose. Everything from simple patatas bravas to octopus was cooked to perfection. We had bottled beers and a couple of bottles of excellent reds to wash the food down with and the only thing to have improved it would have been some draught beer choice but thats a small niggle. Will definitely go back again and would like to treat the family to this place too.

We often visit Pincho when in Twickenham.but we don't get there often enough.

Despite arriving early for our booking, we were greeted warmly and shown to our table. Our drinks order was promptly taken and we were given time (and advice when we sought it) to make our selection of tapas. The food arrived in good time and was hot, tasty and served with a smile, in fact service throughout was friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. The decor is charming and the atmosphere convivial. Including the 10% tip (which was recorded on our bill and which we were happy to pay), our bill was a little over £100. For that, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed two glasses of cava, a shared starter, six tapas dishes, a bottle of red wine plus an additional glass (because my husband so enjoyed it!), a dessert and two digestifs. We will certainly return when we are back in Twickenham for the rugby!

I'd love to give this tapas restaurant 5 stars! The food is authentic and very, very good. The service however would need to improve! We visited on 18th august in the afternoon. Although the restaurant wasn't at full capacity, the inside had been reserved for a party booking. All the staff were too busy inside faffing and preparing the space. We had to walk inside to get service on three occasions which pretty much ruined the visit. The manager even had the cheek to say "do you expect someone to be stood by your table the whole time?" (!!) He did deduct 10% from the bill but that shouldn't have happened and this was after a fair bit of chit chat back from him first. I may go back purely for the great food and hope they prioritise customers in the restaurant first and not leave their party preparations to the last minute and in turn ruin the customers that are there at the time.

After an afternoon stroll in Richmond, we stepped by the Pincho almost by chance. The place is really nice and cozy, and the personnel very caring. We were 5 people and we ordered 2 tapas each, together with a bottle of Spanish red wine. We got the dishes very quickly, and frankly it was difficult to pick up the best one. All were very well executed and with top quality ingredients. The portions are generous and can be easily shared.I piace I would certainly recommend, both for meat and fish. The price was quite suitable, 25£ per person. We will go back for sure. Dopo un pomeriggio a passeggio per Richmond, siamo capitati al Pincho quasi per caso. Il posto è molto carino e accogliente, e il personale veramente cordiale. Eravamo in 5 ed abbiamo provato due tapas diverse a testa ed ordinato una bottiglia di vino spagnolo. I piatti sono arrivati molto in fretta e devo dire che abbiamo fatto fatica a scegliere il migliore. Tutti molto ben eseguiti e con ingredienti di prima qualità. Le porzioni sono abbondanti e le tapas si possono tranquillamente cuuondividere. Decisamente da consigliare, sia per la carne che per il pesce. Il prezzo è stato assolutamente corretto , 25£ a testa. Ci ritorneremo di sicuro.

Booked a table 2 days before Friday. An hour before our booking, received a phone to check our booking and did we want to sit outside, which we did. The evening was a balmy night, we honestly felt like we were on holiday, especially with a man nearby watering the many plants. Cannot fault the staff, they were all so friendly, my daughter spotted the flaming chorizo's so yes we tried them. There were 5 of us who ordered 3 dishes each. I chose the Salmon with dill, aubergine and pattas bravas. Food was amazing, ambience amazing, I could not fault it. Cannot wait until our next visit. Cannot imagine why Debbie gave it such a bad review as there are so many pretty pubs nearby for one to wait for their table.Well done for making my daughter's evening such a joyous evening. Mo

Our first time in Twickenham and we really fancied the Tapas bar Pincho ... how disappointed were we when we arrived!? We were told on arrival that we would have to come back in 30 minutes ... on hearing this we asked could we sit and have a drink while we waited. We were told categorically and very abruptly, "No, we can't take too many people at the one time, come back in 30 mins!" I must point out at this stage that there were at least 6 empty tables available. It appeared that we definitely were not wanted! The waiting staff were lovely but the manager leaves a lot to be desired!! We walked away and a member of our party returned to try and reason with the manager who was unrelenting in his belligerence!! How this man could be put in a position to advertise and market such a lovely restaurant is totally beyond me! Needless to say we found a lovely Indian restaurant called Little Mumbai which we would highly recommend! They were attentive and very welcoming! Mr Pincho wasn't getting any of our hard earned money!

This restaurant appeared to be promising, 'though proved not to satisfy that promise ! With a rather limited Tapas menu, it was a let-down when when the main course arrived and we were then informed that an item wasn't available. Even more of a let-down when this situation recurred with desert/s ! Later the 'Manager' proceeeded to insult his waitress, who may not have been trained/infomed of the menu availability situ.; he then went on to insult Italians (he enlightened us that being from Sardinia he was superior to other Italians !)Needless to say, a let-down of a meal - potentially this is a good venue.

We had our staff 'end of year' lunch here in July 2017. Location is set in a quiet, cobbled lane close to the river Thames. We ordered tapas, there were 5 of us and we ordered 2 tapas each which was more than enough for us all to share. The ribs literally fell off the bone, they were deliciously tasty! The baked Camembert practically melted in your mouth. The staff were helpful, attending to us at the right times but always available. It wasn't too busy when we were eating (2pm) but staff moved between tables smoothly. Offers to refill drinks were consistent, not overpowering like some places I've visited. You can sit inside or out, decor is tasteful and outside has big parasols to keep you shaded. Not overly expensive, considering the quality of food, ambience and location

Mixed tapas were all excellent including chorizo and pork cheeksService was good and the general atmosphere relaxed.The outside area is great on a sunny day and the overall feel after a few hours of their reasonable wine selection was chilled!Will go back again with more friends although I don't need an excuse to visit !

Have not been to this restaurant for about 7 years.and how its gone down hill. Ordered a Mijito and received a glass of mints with a dash of soda and rum, Need to up their game on the drinks front.Atmosphere was great for a Saturday evening, but woe was on the cards. My main course came in 2 halfs and by the time the second part came the first was just about warm enough to eat.I don't think I will be eating here again. Much prefer the sister resident in St Margarets

Quite an expensive and busy place, but with its location, inc terrace at rear, and excellent food, you can see why both of these things happen. Paella is great. I tried the fizzy sangria and probably should have stuck to traditional one, but would still return any time. A little bit of Spain in Twickenham town centre.

I like to bring friends here for sangria and tapas as they do reliable Spanish favourites. The croquettes and chorizo are good, the patatas brava and tortilla are a bit variable trip by trip. Charceuterie, cheese and seafood dishes are nice options for sharing. The daily cocktail options are fun and unexpected.

Three of us had dinner at Pincho's, one person a very picky vegetarian and two eat-anything-you put-in-front-of-us types. The vegetarian found ample choices and the carnivores had paella. The sangria was great! But nothing could beat the churros for dessert. What could be better than fried dough, chocolate and whipped cream?? Just go and try it yourself.

Went there on Sunday before a concert with friends. It was my husband's birthday. They made it a really fun night for us. The food was great. Service and experience fantastic! Would go back again.

This is a great place for 2 or a party. Selection and choice is good and tapas selection is great to share and enjoy together. Service is friendly and efficient and food is always good. There is a choice of eating inside with view of the square and church, or eating inside with the same lovely view.

Good food in the main but some dishes not great - good dishes were the chorizo, calamari and paella but the lamb skewers were very tough and vinegary. Service was ok but a little slow but to be expected in a tapas restaurant with some many dishes to prepare. £20+ for a paella for 2 in a 10" dish is very pricey

We were a bunch of gals who decided to party over a Summer evening. The table was nicely set outside..the place itself is tucked in nicely in a closed street full.of.pubs and restuarantz..Food is ok but not many options and a lip bit pricy. Not sure abt meat lovers but vegetarian options are too less.Overall we hada pleasant evenig because of ambiance more than foodOur little.pooch had a great time as rhe table was set outdoors :)

We've been customers at Pincho over the years and, indeed, its one of our favourites but last night's experience was not as good we'd hoped. The service was uncoordinated with confusion around the availability of our chosen desert, a long gap between us finishing prosecco and our white wine appearing resulting in us having to chase it and we ended up having to go to the till with the bill. One of the waiters looked thoroughly fed up. The portion of paella for two felt smaller than we were expecting as well. We sat outside and unfortunately the table next to us were smoking with the fumes coming across our table which didn't help the cause.

Been here several times and again today. With the weather and authentic Spanish tapas, it really could have been an al fresco lunch in Spain. Had 5 dishes, a bottle of crisp white wine and dessert. Including tip it was £73. Every time we try something different and are never disappointed.

We visited Pincho for lunch , this was a first time visit. We were a group of four and decided to choose six tapas from the lunchtime special menu. The food was excellent value and very good, plenty for us four. Wine and beers also good. We sat outside as it was a hot sunny day but the indoor restaurant looked very nice. The staff were friendly and efficient. Our waiter was a young Polish man an asset to the restaurant, nothing was too much trouble for him. We will definitely visit again. Well done Pincho.

We called on Saturday night to try and book a table for later in the evening but were told they were full and couldn't take walk ins. We decided to chance it anyway, arrived and were taken straight to a table, we asked if it had been busy but they said not really! We ordered our drinks (no JD!) and just had a selection of mains to share. Some of the food was lovely, the chicken with white wine and almonds, the halloumi and the humus. However some were not great at all, the ribs tasted and looked like they were just in ketchup, the chicken inferno had a fishy taste, we were told this is impossible but 3 people tried it and agreed. They then started clearing up and packing away, obviously wanting to close, we still had nearly a full bottle of prosecco to get through though. We weren't offered dessert or coffee and when we tried to order coffee were told the machine had been turned off! Lovely location but really average experience.

Came here with the better half and another couple who live local. It's been a while since I've had Tapas and this was worth the wait. I went for 3 dishes (chorizo, ribs and calamari) and a Greek salad on the side. I shared this with my missus who got halloumi, jamon and cous cous. We was stuffed. More than enough for the 2 of us. The danger is that the food is so good that you keep going anyway. The calamari was cooked fantastically and was dry or stringy. The chorizo came in balls on a flaming plate and was soft and chewy. The salad was well seasoned. There must have been 8 decent size ribs on one Tapas plate with lots of sauce. The venue has an upstairs and downstairs seating area but you may want to make a reservation especially on the weekend as this place can get busy and I can see why. However you don't notice too much when sat down how busy it is due to the way it's set up which is good. Total price for 4 who ordered around 10 Tapas dishes, 2 salads, cous cous, 1 desert and 4 drinks was just short of £90. I think that's pretty impressive. Really really enjoyed myself here and if I find myself in the area again then I might just be popping back in

Great service, food was lovely. Romantic atmosphere. Reasonable price. The meatballs were really tasty and the aubergine was fantastic. Would come again.

A great evening after the Army vs Navy Rugby. I have been here twice with larger groups (15 last night) and they have accommodated us very easily.Booking was easy on line and they kept in touch with us to confirm numbers etc, which was comforting to know they were expecting us.

I found the portions small and generally the food was overpriced, they seemed to skimp wherever possible. The food was quite tasty but after a couple of small platefuls we left hungry, bill was £50, 6 tapas. Wouldn't return .

Came here on a Friday night. Seated upstairs, it took us an age to get served. When the food arrived, it was of low quality and seemed like it had been defeated, especially the seafood - we had to send the mussels back. The aubergine salad was tasty, but you'd expect that for £10!

Así que reservamos entradas para el rugby, semanas!! Reserve aquí un 12/c el almuerzo. Menú fijo, que se espera. Linda poco italiano, aunque tiene que ser poco dijo que autentificación. Elegimos albóndigas como entrante (aceptable) sabroso, pero literalmente cuatro pequeñas albóndigas en salsa de tomate, pero perfectamente aceptable como entrante. pierna de cordero para main, insípido (hervidos a muerte en el agua). Se sirve con cosas verde y un par de patatas anodinas. Un amigo tenía el filete que era preferible. terracota o queso junta de Panne para el postre. Me encanta queso, cuando no ha estado en horas y difícil/ovillo rancios con galletas. No parecía haber nuevo personal in situ, no de origen italiano. El hombre principal era muy acogedor hasta la camisa se convirtió en sudor y húmedo como la mesa estaban muy cerca una de la otra el personal tenía problemas de servir sin llegar a otros clientes. Probablemente muy bueno en una noche normal, pero necesita revisar allí ideas para días de rugby.
