Portofino in Richmond upon Thames

Located in Richmond, walk-in distance from Richmond Station. The pizzas were good, they have other menu besides pizza. Drinks were also good. The restaurant isn't big, not recommended for big family gathering. They have outdoor seating area. No need for reservation. Usually crowded on weekends. No toilets available.

The Formaggio pizza was very tasty. We also ordered the Fusilli pesto dish and it was quite under seasoned. Maybe in fear of over salting the dish? Adding more salt and chilli oil seemed to do the trick. Decent Italian for sure!

Very nice restaurant, excellent food and service, 100% recommended.

Yesterday I ate a delicious Piccante pizza, I was extremely in love, I will come back more often and I highly recommend the place, super attentive service and small but comfortable environment 👏🏻

The best and delicious food I have eaten in my life, and very kindly and Professional staff. If you want to have a very tasty Italian food, I defiantly recommend this restaurant.

This place is so wonderful. Good service, good food and good fun. That place is small but intimate. We have enjoyed eating here for over a decade. Love the calzone so much. Would recommend for anyone.

Cozy atmosphere, wonderful food and amazing staff, a big shout out to Jaime and matheus, excellent service. I highly recommend going here

Was walking around in Richmond town centre with my wife, we visited our little food gem and it didn’t disappointed, fresh pasta made to order, and the pizza was a finger licking adding chilli oil. To finish we had the warm chocolate fudge cake with ice cream which was delicious. The warming place, attentive service made our visit more pleasant. Thank you so much and I highly recommend this place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best pizza in the whole world !!!!

Amazing time and food also delicious drinks

Very good food and lovely little place! We sat outside but it was very warm and cosy! Highly recommend

Fabulous food and lots of free limoncello shots!

Best Italian restaurant in London and Richmond!!! Honestly not only is the food delicious but the staff are incredibly welcoming and kind. I have lived in Richmond my whole life (born and raised) and can't describe how amazing this place is. It feels like you're in Italy eating with your family.

Very good food and good customer service I think it's very wonderful

Wonderful Pizza delicious and fresh. Service was warm friendly and the breakfasts are generous and delicious too 😋

Mouthwatering Veggie Pizza is to die for !!

Best service and great authentic Italian food, genuinely the best Italian I have visited in London and I have lived in London for many years. I am quite a fussy eater so it’s hard to find restaurants that I really enjoy. Savi the chef is very attentive to exactly the dish you would like and really cares about delivering the correct dish. Super friendly and attentive staff. Will come back again soon!!

My favourite go to place for an All Day breakfast !! Never disappoints and fills you up all day too. Have been coming here for years and the quality has never gone down. I can also recommend their pasta dishes and pizzas from previous visits, all delicious and generous portions. Keep up the good work !!

Fantastic pizza, excellent service

Really good food and even better service!!!!

My hubby and I decided to have lunch. He had pasta ricottoni pasta with onion and bacon. He's was average with very small portion. I had the chicken and mushroom risotto which was so bland, no taste whatsoever. At £17.50 is was very disappointing 😞. We will not be visiting again.

Risotto and carbonara are great! Excellent for cheese lovers!

Fantastic range of pizzas.. and all delicious!! They were great at accommodating my toddlers allergies and served us a lovely vegan margarita pizza which he loved!! And he ate loads.. we went as a group of adults and kids and were all happy with our food, will deffo be back!! :)

Very, very ordinary pizzas. I can only imagine that the other reviewers had very low expectations to start with. You’d be better off in Franco Manca

Exceptional, look at that delicious Portofino pizza. 5 Star taste, service and chef !

Great breakfast and service! The Fat boys breakfast was amazing.

Delicious food very friendly staff fair prices and what a nice small but cozy place 10 out of 10 I would go to that place again...

I ate pizza with good ingredients. The dough could have been more delicious. The service is very good but the shop is small. There is congestion while eating

Outstanding!!!! Great food at a great price. Wine list was good and also at a great price point. If you are after awesome Italian food without having to book a week in advance then this is your place. If you are looking at pizza then get the Bufalina!!!!!

We had 2 lovely pizzas at this restaurant. The Hawain and the Portofino. The dough was lovely, the toppings were fresh and plentiful. Throughly enjoyed eating outside and the service was great. Drink prices were reasonable. Would recommend if you are looking for an authentic Italian pizza.

An amazing meal that I’ve ever eaten. Very nice and friendly staff and very knowledgeable professional Cheffs and manager. If someone want to have a very good experience in very warm and welcoming place, I would recommend this restaurant.

Best pizza in richmond, nice environment and good prices 😍😍

Best pizza place in richmond by far, lots of nice optionts in the menu, nice environment, nice staff, and good prices😍😍

Best carbonara I have ever had and pizza base was out of this world. Lovely local restaurant.

Great food! Great service! Coming here is always a pleasure! Pizza taste amazing and fresh

The best service and food! Gnocchi Gorgonzola the best 🙌🏼

Excellent staff to receive customers, very polite and consistent when recommending the restaurant's dishes.

Truly delicious pizza and pasta. Excellent service (very quick) and friendly staff. The chilli oil is very tasty, and added a nice flavor to every dish we ordered.

The food was excellent, havent had a good pizza in a while.. Also the service was quick and good.

Stumbled across this little gem on a recent visit to Richmond. The venue was pretty busy when we turned up but the lady couldn’t have been accommodating. We sat outside and ordered some drinks and as the tables inside became available we moved inside. We both ordered pizzas and they came within 15 minutes which was pretty good considering how busy it was. The pizzas were so fresh and tasty we loved them. This was exactly what we needed. Nice quick service with brilliant food. We will be revisiting.

They are actually Italian! Amazing food and services 🇮🇹

We were kindly given a free meal by porrtofino as the owner of the resteraunt supported a charity quiz event at a church for Age concern for the elderly in the community! St.stephens church organised the event and portofino sponsored it by giving away a free meal,a starter and a bottle of wine to share between two in a raffle last weekend at the church. If more businesses like this gave to the community and to charity and care about people the world would be a better place! Sometimes you give and you receive and I would recommend this resteraunt!Very convivial at the heart of Richmond!The food was wonderful lovely pizza very large with plenty of ingredients! There was a nice atmosphere and we were treated just like paying customers and the food was very good quality.Hope to return again and I would recommend portofino to anyone after my second experience!

On Saturday a group of 7 of us (Northampton Saints fans) had a really good evening dinner at Portofino to celebrate the Gallagher Premiership rugby final victory! Jaime and his staff looked after us with great service and tasty food! The pizza’s were very tasty as were the pasta dishes some of the other members of our party had. The starters were also of good quality and good portions too! We had the house red wine which was also of good quality and we would recommend it. Thanks for a really good end to a really good day out Jaime & the Portofino team! We would thoroughly recommend this to anyone!

Super delicious pizzas, lovely service and the owner - Jaime super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend. Also dog friendly. Thank you for amazing experience! Will be back soon.

Really good really friendly and I love the food

Lovely service, delicious food. Place is a bit small though

Went out for a mid-week meal. I saw this place was popular so booked a table. The guy serving us was super lovely and attentive. Our pizzas were so delicious, especially paired with a garlic buttery sauce and garlic dip. Would definitely go back!

Very good food. Good atmosphere, good customer service as always. Always welcoming

Delicious pizza and amazing and friendly service

Came here with my girlfriend and had such a lovely time. Zsanety was an amazing host, so friendly and accommodating. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and the service was exemplary I would highly recommend.

Spent the day in Kew, and looked for a restaurant for dinner. We checked out Richmond as it was on our journey home, and Pizzeria Portofino looked good, so we gave it a go. Wow, what a jem of a restaurant, superb staff, out of this work food, and good value, sadly out of our way so may not get here again but if in Richmond yourself definatly give it a go. Or waitress Zsanett was the best. That's to all the staff for a lovely experience.

Excellent service, exquisite food, the pasta carbonara is spectacular and the pizza is made in two flavors and is very delicious, overall 10 out of 10.

The best pizza we had in London, with abundant filling and plenty of cheese. The calzone, the portofino (arugula and raw ham) and the anchovy one, excellent. The waiter, a super friendly Colombian boy. Ah! And they close late!!!

Amazing pizza! So happy we stopped in.

Maria, our server was excellent. Definitely recommend their Vegan pizza and the Greek salad

Absolutely outstanding!! The best pizza I have ever had. Service was 10/10! Thank you so much for another wonderful experience! 🍕❤️ Thank you so much Zsanett & Jaime for their amazing service 🇮🇹 🍋

The ceasar salad was lovely and the pizzas looked really nice, but the service is really what makes me want to come back. Zsanett was a FABULOUS server 😍

Excellent food. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Zsanett was fantastic to deal with

Whether you go for a coffee or a meal you are certain of a very warm welcome. I have eaten here many times and the food is always superb. The staff are always keen to please and accommodate dietary requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending Portofino, it is a pure gem

The pizza was delicious and the staff were incredibly helpful!

This restaurant has an amazing quality from food to service and ambience. The staff gives 100% in preparing your dish and the servers are very attentive to making your experience as good as possible. I come here on almost every lunch break from work and I always receive a warm welcome and quick service. Their menu offers a great variety of options for sophisticated dishes and you can find anything good for your taste and preferences. Authentic italian food doesn't compare to anything else.

It’s the perfect place to go for a quick and super yummy food. The pizza dough is superb!! And Jaime is a great host.

The place was so small that in moments the customer next to me came into my arms. Poor food quality and unusual prices. Besides the fact that it has absolutely nothing Italian about it, it reflects the tastes of Anglo-Saxons too much. Mediocre service.

A fantastic find in the middle of the town. Couldn’t praise it highly enough. It was a small family get together and my 3 year old Grandson was really well looked after Food was freshly cooked with good ingredients and the service was exceptional. Looking forward to next opportunity to go back.

Was really hungry and had a breakfast there right before work, there was no other costumers so the atmosphere was nice and peaceful. The lady was very attentive and friendly, took my order straight away as I was rushing for work. As for the breakfast (Fat Boy), it was great, came out really quick and tasted delicious. Will be back again for sure.

Awesome friendly service... We ordered two vegetarian pasta...one of them was extremely tasty and the other average... Tiramisu was so delicious 😋 Will definitely revisit. Edit: Our 2nd visit last night and had the most amazing pasta and pizza... 😍😍😍

Great service - fast, really friendly and helpful (prepared gluten free pizza). Delicious food, great cosy atmosphere. Relaxed. Would definitely recommend!

Gorgeous food. We ate here a couple of weeks ago on a trip to Richmond. We had the Parmigiana and some sides. We will definitely be going back. Great service and very friendly staff. Cant recommend enough. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.👍

This wonderful little place is fast becoming a firm favourite. We are always welcomed and have never had a bad meal. A wide choice of pizza and pasta and a nice bottle of wine means that we always leave feeling very satisfied. We hope to be back again very soon!

Surprised the avg review was so high, we found it a pretty average experience, fairly nondescript bland food and service was slow, felt more like a cafe than a restaurant. Pizza oven is a regular gas/hot air oven and pizzas taste accordingly. Pasta was a bit bland.

Intimate little pizzeria serving excellent pizzas at a reasonable price. Ideal venue for pre-theatre meal.

I walked past this place countless times before I was tempted to step inside. I am so glad that I did. I had the spicy pizza which was as good as any from one of Richmond's pizzerias. The pasta dishes I've tried, arrabiata and carbonara were cooked to perfection. The veggie breakfast was excellent and the egg, sausage and bacon sandwich... my 3 favourite foods in a ciabbata... what's not to like? The decor is low key, the staff attentive and the food excellent. Go here when you just want a bite to eat and don't need the restaurant theatre that would be more suitable for a date night.

Genuinely the greatest pizza I have ever eaten , I have been coming here for special occasions for the last 2 years and I love taking family here also , the staff are incredible and the food tastes better than any other place I’ve eaten (including in Italy)

Fast and friendly service and two delicious pizza: prosciutto & funghi and piggy!

THE BEST! never write a review but this the the best family restaurant ever! Zsanett is amazing, all of the staff so so friendly. We came in on Valentine’s day after being in London all day, didn’t book but they sorted us a table, we come from about an hour and a half away but will definitely be making a trip back! the food absolutely incredible, pizzas are amazing! you have to make a visit!

Really friendly and authentic pizzeria, delicious pizza, and will definitely be going back and highly recommend this restaurant, book a table, and enjoy, freshly made food, and it felt like the pizza was made with love, a little treasure in Richmond ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fake italian. Food Is awful and way overpriced.

An intimate little restaurant with staff with big personalities who are there to have a fun time as well as serve some pretty decent pizza. I’ve walked past here a number of times and wondered what it’s like. I’m glad I took the time to come and find out.

Good food (I've had pizza, pasta and breakfast) at a fair price (especially nowadays). Great coffee (strong but smooth). Friendly staff. It's the only place I go to when in Richmond.

Food is amazing and the people are wonderful. A go to spot for my friend and I. A favourite spot for good pasta, pizza and dessert ❤️ always a loyal customer

What a fantastic find. A tiny special place in Richmond. Tonight we booked a table for my daughters birthday. Mentioned it as we arrived. So friendly, superb service and food delicious. Very authentic Italian food and good portions. End of meal and they wished my daughter with Birthday cake and candles with lemoncello shots on the house! Travelled from Ascot and will visit again.

We always try to come here when we are in the area. It's such a small place but the food is amazing and all the staff we have met go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They will adapt the recipes if needed and this time recommended a half and half side of garlic bread and passata and pesto which complimented our pasta meals beautifully. Can't wait until we can visit again!

Friendly and fun staff, and really awesome pizzas. Great atmosphere and we’ll definitely be back (PS the “Piggy” pizza is 🤤)

Lovely little restaurant in Richmond, near the station and theatre. Chef Savi is the best - he makes the most fabulous pastas, full of flavour. Great pizzas too, made to order and all reasonably priced. Always good service, we go to Richmond just to eat here!

Best food place in Richmond. The staff are amazing, very caring and lovely. Best place to celebrate my wedding anniversary

Everyone here is so lovely and the food is always so delicious. It’s got such a cosy atmosphere with top quality dishes! Made our valentines

yummy food and lovely service :)

Really great place. The pizza and pasta were both excellent. The waitress also lovey. Top marks!

A pizza shop near Richmond high street. Tastes good and is busy. The store is a bit small. very busy.

The food was excellent but what made our visit particularly enjoyable was customer service - the kind lady who was helping us on the evening of Feb 10 is a star! She is so lovely, friendly and helpful, we look forward to visiting again soon!

We had seen this place on a previous visit to Richmond but it was full. This time we booked ahead and we had a great meal. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in a very long time. Our server Zsanett was excellent. Very efficient and very friendly. I really enjoyed my pepperoni pizza although the Gorgonzola could have been a bit more generous. I went to one of the big chain pizzerias tonight and was quickly reminded just how great my pizza last Saturday. I wish I lived closer to Pizzeria Portofino. Make sure you book, it is very cosy!

I loved the pizza, so delicious.

This is such a great place. Exquisite pizza instantly teleports you to Italy. So does the atmosphere and the People who make this place. And big shout to Zanetta, our waitress who just brings an additional layer of smile and lovelyness to the place. With her you are in best hands! Highly recommended little Italy in the heart of Richmond

Despite being full they managed to find us a table. We needed to eat pre theatre so they offered to get our food out to us quickly. Served by Zsanett who was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. She even made very welcome suggestions. As only had limited time I had the Calzone which was one of the best I have ever tasted. The freshness of the preparation and ingredients really shone through. Generous portions with just the right amount of seasoning. We will definitely be returning. This restaurant is just like you find in out of the way places in Italy. Warm, welcoming, the sort of place where you pop in for a quick bite but end up staying for the evening with good food, good wine, attentive service and great company. We have been looking for a perfect Italian restaurant for a while now. Think we may have found it.

Probably the best pizza in SW London, very friendly staff.

Didn't have a booking but they found us a table despite their tiny footprint and being fully booked. Advised we were enroute to the theatre and food was super fast to help us out, pizza was freshly made to order (with recommended additions), really reasonably priced and our waitress Zsanett was so prompt and helpful. Will definitely be going back, thanks for a fab meal.

Very good, literally very good place. One of best and most flavourful pizza i had. Homely feel. Good service, nice true place.

This is an authentic Italian restaurant tucked away on the side streets of Richmond. It is an absolute gem of a place. We found this last year whilst visiting Richmond theatre. It was so good, we hunted it down again & they didn't disappoint. The food is cooked fresh, is piping hot and very tasty. The portions are generous & what isn't eaten is offered to you to take away. Wonderful staff, on hand for anything, nice & friendly.

Penne primavera (Sicilian) out standing And so was the local recommended wine. Great atmosphere
