Rigo' in Hammersmith and Fulham

My boyfriend and I went to Rigo’ on Friday evening for dinner - second time we have been here and second perfect hit: we chose the 4 courses option and everything was just delicious. The dishes were also very creative and beautifully presented - Michelin star quality. We asked for a wine recommendation and we got to try a wine we had never had before which incredibly turned out to be a good match for both the red meat my boyfriend ordered and the fish I got: not only the chef was great but also the sommelier was excellent as well. It’s a pity this is now closing down for a couple of months to move to Mayfair, but we will certainly be back once they open in the new location!

Gonzalo is a man who has been living in 14 different countries. Half Italian half Spanish, trained in France, in Korea (on fermentation techniques ), in Osaka, in Shanghai... He brought all back and condensed this knowledge, with his simplicity, in his kitchen. And the plates tell you all about it, a world of tastes. Simply divine

Nice restaurant, but may be a bit too upmarket for the area. Chef was very nice and really knows his stuff. The plates were quite pretentious though

We had another great meal the staff were friendly and knowledgeable the service slick cocktails delicious and the menu different and original All of us made different choices and everything was delicious and beautifully presented Can’t recommend it enough and we will be back without doubt

Well thought, creative, beautifully presented dishes. Smart use of fresh ingredients in a menu that sources from different traditions but is heavily influenced by Italy and Piemonte. Nicely curated wine list as well. I've been to this place twice and will certainly come back. It is on par with many other restaurants with a michelin star.

I always want local restaurants to succeed, especially those that offer something different and Rigo is definitely in that category. The place itself looks nice while the staff were generally very good (and certainly knowledgeable). However the food is the most important element and here Rigo was very hit and miss. The tomato tarte, a tweak on the Italian classic starter, lacked flavour which is odd because the classic dish has great flavour. The bone marrow had a very mild roasted flavour but it was the broth that finally brought some great flavour. The spaghetti is rightly lauded - it was magnificent. I didn't understand the oyster that came with the pork - it was too salty and the dish was better without it. And finally the porcini brulee - if you don't get a bit of every element of the dish (and its easy to miss something), the flavour isn't balanced. If you do get it right, the flavour is fabulous. Really good places aren't so hit and miss, so for me the experience is an average. I might revised in the future but sadly I won't be rushing back in the near future.

Very cozy restaurant and nice service. Tasting menu (5-point scale) Snacks 4 (macaroon is the best) Sea urchin 3 (anchovies extract adds too much salt) Tomato tart 3 ( very plain) Bone marrow 4 ( good execution but it’s not a finished painting for me) Spaghettoni dei Fiori 5 (simple dishes can be very tasty if the ingredients and execution are good. It’s one of those dish. Light dish though it contains Mont Blanc cream. Pluma of Cinta senese 5+ (absolutely amazing. One of the best meat dishes. Would come again just for it) Porcini brules 3 (too sweet for my taste)

My husband and I had a date night dinner at Rigo, the menu was pitched really well, we both found it hard to choose. We went for al a carte not the tasting menu and this restaurant is the best kept secret in London. Amazing, nicely challenging intriging flavours. The decor is a little bit dated for my taste, even though they are going for modern a nice white table cloth and candle would improve that? Staff and chef were so enthusiastic, kind, fun and their attention to detail faultless. We would definitely like a return match.

My partner brought me here for a special evening because he knows I like Italian cuisine. The place is elegant and intimate and it was a pleasure discovering the staff was Italians too. I enjoyed the food and the creativity from the Chef Gonzalo, that I had the pleasure to meet. Is a fine dining but it worth if you want to experience something special.

This was our second visit but this time we took some discerning friends. We were not disappointed. The food was superb; so imaginative, every ingredient selected and prepared with love, beautiful taste combinations and served with passion. It’s so infectious when the whole team are passionate about what they do. We all loved it. Our friend wanted a pasta course, over and above the really fantastic value 4 courses. The most delicious, simple, buttery pasta arrived. I can take or leave pasta - this was stunningly simple and delicious. We want to keep this place our local secret but also want it to a tremendous success that we found!! I guess we can’t have it all to ourselves. And by the looks and comments by the other diners, how long before this is really on the foody map?! Don’t miss it! Oh and cocktails at Koji beforehand made for a fantastic night!

We frequent many creative and off the wall places all around the world, but RIGO was exceptional in many ways both good and bad. The menu which favors a prix fixe concept with some limited individual items was confusing, but with with the kind help of the very caring server,we managed to order. The food by the very passionate chef was creative and quite good but not great. We like unusual creative combinations but the chef's palette did not ring our bell. In our estimation there is less to rave about than some reviewers say, but tastes vary. I ordered the second most expensive red wine and it came much warmer than cellar temperature. Despite there being a nearby wine cooler ours came from the kitchen area and it was highly raisonated wityh brownish eddging. I very rarely send wine back but reluctantly did. There was no problem doing from the waiter. I chose another less distinguished mid priced wine which was a least drinkable. The room's atmosphere is simple and non distracting being rather small. It is OK as in a "neighborhood find" category. Everyone at RIGO was extremely nice and accommodating. We wish them well but it was a long-ish ride from Mayfair and we are not intending to go back.

From the delectable food, to the wonderful service, and finally to the welcoming and passionate chef. This restaurant is an absolute diamond. Being local to the area, we have visited this restaurant quite a few times, but I would travel far and wide for Gonzalo’s food artistry, not to mention his hand-picked rare cheeses. Every dish is formulated to perfection, taking into consideration taste, textures, presentation, everything and anything you can think of! I really can’t rate this chef and his food highly enough, grab a table quickly whilst you still can!

Sono stato al Rigo notandolo sulla guida Gambero rosso. Ottima scoperta, staff professionale ma amichevole. Lo chef é venuto a spiegarci i formaggi lui stesso di cui nki siamo molto golosi. Tasting menu mai visto unaroba del genere. Torneremo

What an absolute treat, I don’t know how I haven’t visited Rigo before despite living locally! Every dish from start to finish is an explosion in your mouth and the presentation a feast for the eyes. The format is set menu style with a variety of options for both veg and non-veg. Lending to the atmosphere are the staff who are equally passionate about service and the food. A visit to Rigo is not to be missed!

Excellent service, they even made us a table in the garden which they have never done before. The food was fun, packed full of flavour and reasonably priced. Fulham needs more places like this.

Everything about our experience at Rigo was delightful and we even got to meet and have a chat with the Co-founder himself; Gonzalo. My partner had the tasting menu and I opted for the À la carte. Everything was presented with perfection and crafted with...

Rigo really ups the ante in Fulham. In fact it puts every other restaurant in the area and beyond in the shade. Wonderful food, or should I say food to wonder at. Delightfully different menu of dishes prepared with evident love, made with beautiful natural...

Very interesting restaurant, the food is something new and interesting, new combination finally. I recommend if you want have experience and if you just want eat something outside of the box ( three course for week days ) definitely recommend!!!!

We visited Rigo London last week and were blown away by it. 100% modern Italian, so do not expect pizza, lasagne or Bolognese! The food was exquisite and it kept us engaged from the beginning to the very end. Flavours are robust and delicious. Gonzalo,...

First of all, I should explain that my rating for Rigo is 4.5 and so my dilemma was whether to round up or round down. I was very close to rounding up but my opinion was swung by the mention of the discretionary service charge...

Уже по прошествии нескольких дней морской ёж из Rigo до сих пор не даёт мне покоя - стоит посетить Лондон...

Had a very nice dinner at Rigo’s. High end Italian with unusual ingredients with a Piedmont theme and Northern Italian wine pairings. Worked well during truffle season as the chef’s family hunt for them. Probably one of the top foodie restaurants in Fulham.

I visited with friends for dinner after reading about it and the overall impression is positive: this is experimental, top-tier cuisine that has nothing to do with the usual Italian fare on offer around London. Menus are well balanced and designed to impress but without...

Two of us for dinner on a chilly Wednesday November night. When I arrived the place was empty apart from the staff. There was a very warm greeting and the staff were charming and attentive throughout. Once my friend arrived, another couple came about twenty...

Rigo is a welcome fine dining addition in Fulham. Italian with French and other global influences, this is food that is creative, carefully prepared and very flavourful. The skill, experience and love of food of the charming chef/owner Gonzalo shines through. There is a tasting...

While the food was exceptional, the ambience nice and the staff professional, sadly none of that matters when you go home needing to have a second dinner because the portions were infant size.
