Portofino in Richmond upon Thames

Wonderful food - excellent service. This must be my favourite pizza place - delicious! But I’ve also had amazing pasta here.

RECOMMEND!!! The menu makes you hungrier - soooo many delicious pizzas and pastas to choose from. Plus a good selection of drinks and wines. Situated right on the corner of a side street in Richmond, that gets delightful sunlight on a spring day - try to sit outside if you can! Yum, yum, yum! The pizza did not disappoint. It was perfectly scrumptious and they've mastered the chilli oil spiciness as well. Staff are really friendly and helpful too. Quick service, a delightful experience.

Really nice little place, food is lovely and the staff were very attentive. Will definitely be back!

Unbelievable pizza! I can't wait to go back. It's always busy any night of the week with a great atmosphere and lovely staff. I have to eat outside thankfully there are heaters outside

Excellent pizza. Very friendly.

I Felt like in Italy, even better, pizza and pasta are one of the best I never tried, Excellent and welcoming staff

This place makes me feel at home,and also you can find delicious food,excellent service and atmosphere.I higly recommend this place,thanks everybody and congrats!

Delicious! Definitely coming back

Lovely atmosphere and amazing food, would definitely recommend✨

Loved this little gem of a cafe - the chilli oil was too delicious with just enough bite! Great service and ambience too!

What an amazing hidden gem!!! Amazing service (thank you so so much Sergio) . Amazing food, service , and ambience. Totally recommend.

Excellent food such a great atmosphere, Sergio and Jamie were very attentive and offered great recommendations. Would 100% be back and recommend to others!!

Never a dull moment! Fresh food, atmosphere and a great group of people! Thank you

An attention of 10!! We are Spanish and as soon as we entered we were treated in Spanish. The food is spectacular and very well priced! You can tell it's authentic Italian food! Highly recommended!!

Every time we visit Richmond Park and the surrounding area, we make sure to stop by Pizzeria Portofino. The food is always delicious, and the service is absolutely top-notch. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, along with our Colombian friend’s hospitality, makes every visit special. If you’re in the area and looking for great pizza with exceptional service, this is the place to go!

It's absolutely NOT an ITALIAN pizzeria or restaurant!! It's an insult to Italy

Really nice food piggy pizza was lovely! the environment was perfect and the staff was very friendly

The restaurant is fantastic, the cuisine is very delicious in all its exquisite flavors, the service is first class, the service from the staff is very professional, and a very cozy atmosphere.

I’ve been coming here for the past few months with colleagues and my girlfriend, the service and the food is amazing, with lovely music and a real cozy vibe. The experience is very personalised and you can tell all the employees are passionate and care for your enjoyment. Am taking my family here next, one of my favourite restaurants ever. Thank you to everyone at portofino.

Fabulous food and service 😍. A must if you are in Richmond ❤️

Lovely Italian restaurant that has a cosy atmosphere. Staff were friendly and accommodating and Maria looked after us the whole evening, lovely food full of flavour, would highly recommend.

Food was so great, pizza crusts are soft inside and crisp on the bottom, love my pizza that way... Maria was our server that time, she’s very friendly and accomodating which made our experience here SUPERB! Will surely comback and; recommend this place to my friends.

Such a wonderful experience. The service (Maria was super nice) was excellent and the pizza’s are made in front of the restaurant and absolutely delicious. Fully recommend!

Maria was the best server! The food was lovely and the service was amazing, will be coming back soon :)

If you’re wandering through Richmond and stumble upon Pizzeria Portofino, consider yourself lucky. This cozy little spot, tucked just off the main street, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff here are genuinely friendly and attentive, adding to the overall charm of the place. Now, let’s talk about the food. The pizzas are nothing short of fantastic. The crust is perfectly crisp, and the toppings are fresh and flavorful. You can even watch the chef preparing your meal, which adds an authentic touch to the dining experience. If you’re a pasta lover, their Tagliatelle Carbonara comes highly recommended—it’s creamy, rich, and utterly satisfying. Despite its small size, Pizzeria Portofino manages to offer a diverse menu that caters to various tastes, including vegetarian options. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. Just a heads-up, the place can get quite busy, so it’s a good idea to book ahead or be prepared for a short wait. In summary, Pizzeria Portofino is a hidden gem in Richmond. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual lunch or a cozy dinner, this spot delivers delicious Italian fare with a personal touch. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Delicious food and a fantastic service! We came as a couple and ordered 2 pizzas. The menu options are fantastic and the pizzas are freshly made in front of you. Brilliant service, Maria and all other members of staff were so kind and professional. We had some dietary requirements and they managed it brilliantly. Big bonus that they are dog friendly and we could come along with our doggy. 100% recommended and we will come back soon!

friendly staff, excellent pizza!! defo recommend!! :))

Amazing fresh pizzas, takes you back to italy!

Always a joy to eat in this place. Amazing customer service and always cheerful staff. The food is delicious.

Great spot for dinner. Good food and good service. Would recommend and look forward to visiting again soon. Excellent pizzas.

Lovely little restaurant, great service and amazing food. Definitely recommend as a great little lunch spot.

Great place for pizza (and more) in Richmond, excellent service and atmosphere ❤️

The pizza and pasta were very delicious. The place is small so it is more enjoyable during less crowded hours.

This restaurant has been running for years and with good reason. The food is simple, well made, delicious and cheap. Great friendly staff and good menu. I will be going back for sure. Lots of character and friendly staff.

Called in for a lunch bite at this cosy pizza/pasta eaterie. Had a very tasty Napoli pizza, good thin crust, quality ingredients, helped with a velvety glass of Montepulciano. Cool, relaxed vibe backed with an impossibly romantic Italian playlist.

Amazing pizza! Great service! Ended the meal with a shot of limoncello! The whole team at the restaurant was so nice!

lovely place, a pleasure to return.

Delicious pizza, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere on a chilly night - highly recommended!

If this is supposed to be an authentic Italian pizza/pasta restaurant, it needs to radically up its game. Ordered a Farmaggi listed on menu with various cheeses, including mozzarella and with fresh basil leaves. 40 minutes later meal still not appeared. Manager apologised and said chef made made the wrong thing! Eventually after another 30 minutes the pizza appeared (so over an hour's wait for a simple pizza.). The pizza looked dull and colourless apart from a few specks of dried basil instead of fresh basil leaves as on the menu..and minus the mozzarella. Manager, when spoken to then brought me a few fresh basil leaves on a separate plate. Really?! Had to ask for parmesan shavings for friend's pasta dish. Had to ask for chilli oil for pizza. Otherwise nothing brought or offered. All in all....a shambles. Up your game! Too much competition to be this complacent.

In the area for Kew Gardens and visited for lunch. Popular with regulars but made us feel welcome. Lovely relaxing ambience. Pizzas were fresh and tasty with generous portions feeling natural and nutritious.

A very cosy pizzeria just off the main street in Richmond. The dough was nice and light and I enjoyed the vegetarian pizza although personally I prefer when the toppings are slightly more cooked and charred, especially the aubergine and courgette.

Pizza is lovely and staff were really lovely too.

What a fantastic night, the service is excellent and food was delicious all at a very reasonable price. We will be back!

Really good calzone and lovely and consistent staff. Great restaurant.

Ate here recently as was recommended this venue by a friend. She ordered the Pizza Piggy, I ordered a salad. Her pizza was covered generously with meat. My salad was delicious and full of tuna. Would highly recommend this venue if you want to eat somewhere other than a chain restaurant.

The best pizza in the world, not just even London. Every week we are here. Friendly amigos ❤️

Lovely cute Italian with excellent pizza and wonderful service

Realmente genial auténtico italiano Y el do puttanesca mis dias favoritos de pasta y fue tan bueno Muy bonito pequeño lugar Iré de nuevo

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.

Ayer comí una deliciosa pizza Piccante, estaba extremadamente enamorada, volveré más seguido y recomiendo encarecidamente el lugar, servicio súper atento y ambiente pequeño pero cómodo 👏🏻

La mejor y deliciosa comida que he comido en mi vida, y el personal muy amable y profesional. Si quieres tener una comida italiana muy sabrosa, recomiendo desafiantemente este restaurante.

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!!

Really good food and even better service!!!!

Fantastic pizza, excellent service

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 !!

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!! :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Really good really friendly and I love the food

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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.
