Q Verde in Richmond upon Thames

After a wet morning out at Kew, our large group of 5 adults and 4 young children were warmly welcome by the staff of Q Verde. They were great with bringing out some very kid friendly pastas and the adults all loved the pastas and mains. We each had our favorites but the mushroom and spinach risotto and veal saltimboca were my picks. The whole atmosphere was warm, friendly, and the food was delicious. We will go again.

Loved the vibe and the pasta was delicious, but it wasn't very kid friendly and the portion sizes were pretty small especially for the price. Yummy dinner, but I shouldn't still be that hungry after paying that much.

Very good food. Very friendly employees and ready to help in any way they can. I advise...

Found this by chance. Excellent Italian restaurant.

5 star service and staff. We had a great time and they even let us have a meal for our 8 month old baby. Thank you so much, if everyone was like you 😊

Nice restaurant with great staff and nice environment The starters were nice and wine was nice. I thought the pasta could’ve done with a bit more flavour though.

Definitely recommend. Everything a local Italian should be - nice food, great service, lovely vibe.

Q Verde is a top quality Italian restaurant. Bit expensive but worth every penny. A warm welcome, and great foods and wines. I started with the burrata with tomato and basil, very nice . Then I had the ravioli with black truffles, which was delicious. I had spinach and garlic , as a side dish , you don't often get such good quality fresh spinach. And I had the tasty mixed vegetables as a side dish. I came back a few days later with a friend and we had a great meal with a excellent bottle of white Italian wine ( which was on special sale ). We had the ravioli with black truffles as a starter , which was delicious once again. I enjoyed the seabass. We both had the lemon tart which is to die for. We ended the meal with a small glass of black sambucca , liquorice flavour, which was spot on. Q Verde is my favourite Italian restaurant in London. Great service , outside tables, and in the lovely area of Kew.

For ‘just a neighbourhood restaurant’ it is our special place. The welcome the owner gives to regular or new customers is always warm and friendly. Simple menu with a selection of starter or main meals; don’t expect Pizza or Lasagna but a choice of meat or fish dishes, pasta or risotto. The saltimbocca, liver or beef dishes are delicious; not cheap but worth it. Often I go for specials such as ravioli or chicken liver, fabulous. They do cook special for those with special needs, or something wonderful like mixed starters antipasti for large groups.

The food was delicious. I had a steak that was perfect. The tiramisu is also the best desert. It was a great experience. The owner is so nice

great stuff! food was good and service was nice.

QVerde is a top quality friendly Italian restaurant. I started with the delicious burrata, tomato and basil. As main, I had the excellent black truffle ravioli. As excellent this time as it was last time. With it I had the very good spinach and garlic, and the mixed vegetables. Not often you get such quality spinach. Good service and ambience. Always coming back to my favourite Italian restaurant. Hope they might have osso bucco on the menu another time. QVerde is minutes away from Kew Gardens station, and on the 110 bus route with nearby stops.

Italian perfection in beautiful Kew. Wonderful meal, super friendly staff and excellent service. A must visit if you’re staying in and around Kew. Highly recommended. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Absolutely wonderful food and friendliest, lovely staff, highly recommended

The food is fantastic! The staff are very nice, they recommend me to try Zucchini Fritte which is very great! And the mussels are amazing! It makes me order twice! And fortunately we ordered dessert, both are very delicious 😋

Great food and lovely service 👍 would recommend to anyone!

We were taken by friends and had no great expectations. The outside is quite ordinary. The food and service, however, were really excellent. I had courgette fritters which were really crisp, chicken in an unusual and delicious garlic sauce, lightly cooked spinach and a ricotta cake which I wish I hadn't shared. It was no more expensive than any mediocre Italian restaurant and the service was both personal and highly professional.

Visited today with my mum for the first time. The food was delicious. The service and staff were really welcoming. The lemon tart was literally the best I have ever tasted which was the desert of the day.

Friendly attentive family Italian restaurant with a simple menu with fantastic ingredients served in a non challenging style, perfect host and lovely servers. Good value for great food

Rigatoni Arrabiata (pasta) was so delicious! The best pasta I've eaten. Ask for a parmesan, it is better with that! Pollo Siciliana was also tasty. Refreshing but you won' be hungry. I really liked appetizer (fresh bread with trimmings)! Service also 10/10!❤

What a lovely place. I went with some friends on Monday. They accommodated all of our wishes and we were rewarded with a Limoncello, to boot!

Lovely restaurant! Such great service and vibrant atmosphere!

I think this has to be one of the most delicious Italian meals I have had. The food was out of this world! Great atmosphere, amazingly attentive and polite service too. Will definitely come back

What an amazing find. Absolutely fantastic food and excellent service. Highly recommend nothing was too much trouble.

A very sweet and small Italian restaurant close to the station. The employees were friendly and interested. Prices are very reasonable for such a restaurant. There is also a small garden outside. I went without making a reservation, but it was late, there is a possibility that it would be crowded at a normal hour, I recommend you make a reservation. The food was delicious, especially the starter. But I can't say the cake was great, it wasn't bad either, it was definitely edible but nothing special. A stylish restaurant, I recommend it.

Though a bit on the pricier side, the food was absolutely fresh and delectable. Loved everything we had(ravioli, risotto and panna cotta).

I've given this a high rating because it's great at what it does. It's a local restaurant which serves lovely Italian food, cooked with passion using good ingredients and served by really nice people. It's been around for many years and at the weekends is always busy, which says a lot. If the truffle pasta is on the specials then it's definitely worth ordering. The calve's liver (Fegato) is also exceptionally nice.

Incredible Italian food with outstanding service with a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere. Even the most simple sounding pasta dish on the menu is absolutely delicious. For lunch or dinner, restaurants like this are what makes Kew.

Amazing food and detailed attention

After Kew gardens we easily walked here and were very pleasantly surprised by the food here. Everything we eat was great and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a fantastic Italian restaurant. Excellent food and service with an authentic atmosphere. We were a party of four and have all said we’d go again.

This is a great Italian restaurant. The food was delicious and came quickly, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is authentic. We were a party of four and all said we will definitely go again.

My wife and I had dinner here after a day at Kew Gardens. The food and service were both excellent and we would definitely recommend. I should mention that two coffees were missed from the bill but when I pointed that out the waitress said there would be nothing added to the bill and the coffees would not be charged. Quite impressed with that

Wow, was just passing by and had lunch. The chicken and pasta my wife and I had were just amazing. Fantastic service, great price, and what amazing food. Would absolutely recommend and visit again if in the area.

Slightly disappointed. Burrata starter was lovely, green salad too however my veal was not tender.

We had an incredible dining experience at Q Verde tonight for my birthday. The food was EXCELLENT and the service was equally amazing. Would highly recommend this restaurant based on the staff, quality of food, and reasonable prices. If I find myself in the London area again, I will definitely revisit.

Incredible and authentic Italian food and amazing host. This restaurant is top notch I don’t see how anyone could possibly give anything less than 5 stars!!

First time diners. Authentic and lovely food. Service good. Very buzzy local restaurant.

Love this place - wonderful service, a fabulous atmosphere and the most delicious authentic Italian food. Would absolutely recommend 👍

Amazing experience! It is a family runt restaurant and therefore it we could say that it has their heart in it. The dishes were top noch! I have been to different Italian restaurants in Europe but i have never experienced something like that. Very Italian service - lively, lovely, friendly and caring. We will definitely go back when visiting our friends in Richmond. Thank you Q verde family. Recommended special - chicken liver! ❤️

Lovely place, excellent food, excellent service. The spaghetti carbonara was the best I have ever had! Very nice tiramisu to finish things off.

We had squid for appetizers and it was delicious, as was the main course. Highly recommend 👍😊

Excellent service and delicious Italian food. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. One of the best places near Kew Gardens.

Great service, lovely atmosphere and perfect panacotta! We always enjoy eating here. Very lucky to have Q-verde on our doorstep!

Excellent service and delicious food

Such a good night with the girls! Amazing vibe, food 11/10… definitely be back!!

Went twice in three nights, should have been three! Great menu and prices to match. Fine wine at reasonable prices, with really good service too. Every time we come to Richmond, we visit this brilliant restaurant.

Me and my husband eat here at least once a month, more in the summer. It is a family run restaurant and you really feel that - the staff all feel like friends and it is the warmest of places. The food is absolutely gorgeous, I always feel like I am on holiday when I eat there - it’s like one of those hidden gems you find on your travels and then you end up going back there every night. Recommendations? That’s tough because I love everything. I always enjoy the truffle ravioli and the risottos, but then sometimes I’ll opt for something different from the specials board - I had swordfish tagliatelle last night which was divine.

Excellent food and wine along with extremely friendly and attentive staff. Can't wait to visit again and try more food from the menu

Wow fab surprise on our visit to Kew Gardens 🩷 Recommended

Great food and great service. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

I went off TripAdvisor reviews to book QVerde as we were staying just round the corner. What a gem of a place. It's probably the most Italian place I've been to outside of Italy. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere has a family feel to it but the staff are also very attentive, the food was fantastic. I had the scallops and my partner had the gamberoni pasta. They were both amazing! I would highly recommend QVerde to anyone wanting not only good food but also the Italian experience. Little nod to Gerrardo (think that's how you spell it) for being brilliant but all the staff were fab so thank you. If we come back to Richmond this is where we will eat.

Came here after it was recommended to me. I can see why the place is popular food excellent, service friendly and polite. We were a table of 5 and the staff could not have been more polite. Will definitely be back.

Q Verde is a wonderful restaurant! The food is exquisite, carefully crafted and there is a great choice, including fish (amazing sea bass) and meat dishes if you are avoiding pasta. A big favourite for our group was the zucchini fritti and the puddings are to die for. Warm, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Exquisite food, attentive, friendly service and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended.

After the river trip from the City, this restaurant was ideal for a light lunch. My spaghetti was especially good , as were all the pastas. The Moretti lager at £6 for a small bottle was eye popping. I’m from up North you see.

Friendly and attentive service with tasty food. The black truffle ravioli was delicious.

Very friendly team. The owner goes out of his way to ensure the guests are satisfied. The food also very nicely cooked. Have revisited there many times.

Honestly I don't get this place. The food is OK, the manager and staff are so lovely , but we sat on a table next to a dirty wall and felt nothing special. Food was OK but not reasonable price wise. Just nothing special. We both had pasta, perhaps a bad chef day.

A lovely find for me so close to Kew Gardens. Tasty food and wine at a sensible price for the area. A real Italian family feel to the restaurant borne out by the friendly team offering courtesy and good service. Definitely worth a re-visit.

An authentic Italian local gem. Good food, good service good vide. Definitely recommend.

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant with great service and every dish was amazing

We had an exceptional evening at Q Verde both after visiting prior to Queer Nature the Kew Gardens event a few months ago as a couple and again last Tuesday to celebrate booking our Italian family holiday with the folks! The perfect place for any occasion, attentive and friendly staff, exquisite small plates and pastas, quality wine, a comfortable atmosphere, and an authentic Italian experience in the heart of Kew. Thank you. We will be back. Emylia

Lovely service and delicious food. We all had pasta dishes and the bruschetta to start - which was really good!

Food and staff were great - highly recommend for chilled date night or wholesome family meal

Fantastic food. Excellent service. Unpretentious and welcoming to kids. A great place to eat when visiting Kew.

Q Verde is always a treat. Attractive interior, friendly and efficient service, delicious food. Thank you!

Our entire experience was amazing!! Highly recommend going back!!

Good food & wine, excellent negroni, good service by an enthusiastic and caring team.

Great authentic Italian eating experience. Always on our agenda when visiting Kew Gardens. Excellent Italian food and fantastic family style friendly efficient service.

Lovely little family run restaurant, great service, great food. Would highly recommend.

This the most wonderful romantic restaurant the food is wonderful the atmosphere is very romantic I love it xxxxxx

Unexpectedly delicious - booked pre Kew Gardens visit - highly recommend, food really good. It was quiet at lunchtime but would definitely go back.

Lovely family run restaurant, great value and simple well cooked dishes, really recommend.

What a superb evening. The atmosphere and food took me back in time to my mother’s house in southern Italy. An absolute treat and perfect romantic night out. I had a new steak special and my husband had saltimbocca. Absolutely divine. We will be coming back. Delighted with our first date night out for a while.

First diners in at lunchtime, so lacking in atmosphere to start with - not the restaurant’s fault! Lovely restaurant and delicious food. Will definitely return. Reservation recommended, even on a Monday lunchtime in February!

Really enjoy going to this place - the perfect local Italian. Friendly, tasty and always with a smile. Recommend the meat dishes and the special pudding of the day.

Had lunch here after visiting Kew, 2 couples and were more than happy with the veal, fish and calves liver that we had for lunch, washed down with a bottle of the house red. Service was friendly, coffee was good and we all thought that we would return in our next visit.

We are regulars since years. We often eat something from the specials menu. Food is always fresh, portions good. Staff super friendly. Ambiente very nice.

Excellent small Italian in Kew. Third visit to this local restaurant and the food was better than ever…my sea bass in herbs was cooked to perfection….good atmosphere on a cold evening and the place was full as usual…well worth a visit

I've been looking forward to visiting this restaurant for quite some time, based on previous Google reviews. Honestly, it was a little disappointing when we did manage to get some food here. The staff are extremely friendly, can't complain about the service at all. The atmosphere was good but could be better. The real disappointment was the food. It wasn't at the level I was expecting. Though the starters were good, the mains were mediocre. I've had better food at many other Italian restaurants. Please don't take this as negative criticism, that's not my intention. I would suggest looking into hiring another chef to elevate the taste. Or drop the prices. You can't have both mediocre food and absurd prices.

always good...........................................

Spoilt for choice for places to eat, after a wander around Kew we settled on the Italian Q Verde and what a fantastic choice that was. The service, food and atmosphere were all fabulous. The prices were up there, but the food was delicious and worth every pence. Our evening was topped off with complimentary lemoncello from our host.

A very good adress ,genuine Italian food . All was delicious and we will definitely come back.

We booked Q Verde because it was local to Kew Gardens and we were visiting to see the lights. We received a warm welcome and the food and service were very good. My husband had the liver, which he said was excellent. There was a great atmosphere, promoted by the friendliness and efficiency of service and the fact that everyone seemed to be enjoying their food. The next time we visit Kew, we will definitely book a table.

Thanks, we had a great visit. See you next year!!!

Best Italian I have had since being in Rome. Black truffle ravioli was delicious. Clean plates all round. Great friendly service. Highly recommended.

Our go to place when in this part of London. Great when visiting Kew Gardens and adds to the feeling of a good evening out when the Christmas lights are on at the gardens. Traditional proper Italian restaurant with plenty of choice. Cheaper as always to opt for pasta than meat or fish and extra for sides but the saltimbocca was excellent. Good specials including pasta. Passed the test on better than I would have made at home.

We love Q Verde, we are locals who come frequently, they are friendly, reliable, warmly hospitable, we always have wonderful food and a lovely evening.

Warm and welcoming, happy to cater for our two little ones. Food was excellent, staff were friendly. Can't recommend enough.

Very flavourful and really nice to eat. It was a great opportunity to try out different food. And we got that! It was a great option.

Great service, and fantastic food. We had a wonderful starter -a sharing platter of cold meats, prawns and calamari in batter, aubergine, artichoke etc. The main courses and dessert were delicious too. A warm welcome from Tony, the Italian owner and a lemoncello on the house to finish.

I really enjoyed eating here. The menu is classically Italian, with pasta in beautifully judged source and then fantastic cuts of meat cooked to perfection. Really warm welcome too. Not cheap, but certainly not exorbitant. Will definitely come again.

Attractive Italian eatery in close proximity to Kew Gardens. Service was friendly and attentive. Although the pasta was well cooked we felt that we could have produced a similar tasting dish at home for a fraction of the price. The orange chocolate cake was luxurious and a decedent was to end a well rounded meal.

QVerde isn't special because of the food, though that is very good as well. It isn't special because of the location either. It is special because of the people who work there and run the restaurant. Nowhere in London do I feel like I am in a true Italian family restaurant but there. The service is fantastic and the people are just he nicest people anywhere. Hospitality at its best.

We all enjoyed our meal. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Service was prompt without being rushed. Portions were generous and well cooked and presented.

Great place for a delicious dinner in a cosy atmosphere. Very welcoming and friendly staff.

A fantastic traditional Italian restaurant. Excellent food, friendly and welcoming service, lovely atmosphere and outstanding value for money. We’ve been twice now and wi be back for more.

Great local Italian Fabulous black truffle ravioli and great starter platter

Delicious food and very friendly service. What more can you want.
