Vesuvio Bar and Restaurant in Richmond upon Thames

Extremely good environment and the food was fabulous also the staff were friendly.

The best place to have a dinner with your loved ones ☺️

Wonderful service from Ben with one of the best primitive I ever tested and the food full of taste, all there is to say is you must try the place and everything there is to offer.

Always Fresh food, And perfect cook The wine list is excellent choices And service 10/10well done

My friends and I have been to this restaurant for lunch; it was rugby day, and the food was amazing, and the service was very nice. We really enjoyed it; all the staff was very friendly. We will definitely see you again. I highly recommend it to everyone who hasn’t been here.

Me and my partner we been here for dinner and it was amazing food we had a few drinks we really enjoyed our dinner. All the staff was very friendly we will come back soon .

Amazing food, amazing service. Lovely wine. The fillet steak and the seafood linguine were excellent. Thank you ☺️

Extremely fresh and good seafood!

Spent my 30th here last month with family. Really good authentic food served here and a warm welcome. Service was good (could have been faster) but on the whole ill be returning for the homemade tiramisu.

This is our second time at Vesuvio. Food is absolutely fantastic. Ben, who looks after the customers remembered the wine we ordered last time and made sure to look after us very well this time as well. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants around Hampton/ Twickenham.

Excellent culinary experience from start to finish, ben at the front of house was exceptional, the menu isn't huge which to me indicates quality, and it was, we had the seabass and ben kindly arranged for a slight change of menu to deal with an intolerance, the portions where plentiful, freshly prepared and delicious. Highly recommended.

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Fantastic Atmosphere.

Had a wonderful evening, you must must try the Buratta and Bruschetta starters, best in London. Also had the seafood risotto also excellent. Chicken looked great. Ask for Arbren

Excellent atmosphere and the food is exquisite. Had a Burrata to start, heavenly! The Chicken Saltinbocca as a main was perfect, delicious and a very generous portion too. Definitely not disappointed!

I hade the pleasure to have a meal in this amazing place and I was truly impressed...Recently decorated, amazing food, excellent service so, 5* well deserved...Thank you, guys...Keep it up ;)

Wrong opening hours info provided in Google maps. It's showing 12:00-00:00 open on Saturday. We were there at 14:30- CLOSED.

does Artie Bucco works here? 🇮🇹

Very cozy place! Great service, the owner and staff were very friendly and really carrying about all customers. Food was great!

One of the best Italian restaurants in London.. great food and service

Just visited tonight and had the most delicious food and excellent service. Lovely local and such a wonderful treat on a school night. Now we have discovered you we will be back!

We decided to book a meal at this restaurant after a rugby game nearby, mainly for the sake of convenience and without any expectations. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food offered at such a reasonable price. The seafood risotto was delicious and super fresh, and the homemade tiramisu was fantastic! We all ordered different things and everybody was happy with their choices. The service provided by the staff was excellent as they were extremely friendly and enthusiastic about the food they served. We were all very pleased with our experience.

Thank you for having us for dinner. Lovely atmosphere and delicious Italian food

The service from Ben was second to none and the food was delicious

Good restaurant but greedy with their pricing. My son took me to celebrate Mother’s Day. He had read good reviews and it was convenient for us. When we got there we were told that as it was a Rugby day at Twickenham only a set 3 course menu was available £49.50 without drinks. Their normal menu was about 2/3 of this. The staff insisted my son had been informed of the price hike but he hadn’t and we would not have gone at such inflated prices. I asked if I could have 2 courses only for less ££££ but was told the price was fixed and so not possible - so we each took our tiramisu home in a plastic box. Very disappointed as the food was oK but nothing special and we felt exploited. Such a shame as we would have gone again if the prices had been reasonable

We saw the great reviews and thought we'd give it a try for a birthday meal. The food was good but the service was poor; one person trying to do everything for the whole restaurant meant that food was slow to arrive at the table and then tables weren't cleaned (plates removed) for a long time after finishing starters and then mains. I appreciate that someone hadn't turned up but that doesn't excuse such poor service as you kept letting in more and more guests and service got slower and slower. We were going to stay on for desserts and coffee to make an evening of it but in the end we just cut our losses after the mains and we will look to have another birthday meal somewhere else next week. It was a bit of a cheek to see a service charge added but I wasn't going to make a scene at a birthday meal. Perhaps we were unlucky but we won't be back.

Incredibly high quality food, calamari was exquisite. Service was brilliant

Great find! Amazing atmosphere and staff were super welcoming. Seafood risotto was delicious.

An absolute neighbourhood gem, find myself missing it enormously if it’s ever closed. Delicious, healthy food, the owners are lovely, always create a warm, friendly atmosphere. The desserts are top-notch and varied. Also a great playlist.

We had a fantastic pre-new year dinner. Such a great eve. I had fillet steak and I don’t think I’ve ever had better. Happy New Year

I have been in this restaurant three times now, the food and the service were simply fantastic! The dish I like the most is Seafood Linguine. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Simply stunning food, great atmosphere and amazing service. The seafood is truly where the food excells, with fresh, high quality calamari and mussels and the best seafood linguine you will find in town. The relaxing atmosphere and extremely comfortable seats really do contribute to a top-notch dining experience. If you are seeking top quality Italian food then Vesuvio will definitely have you covered!

This is one of the best Italian places I’ve been to.. no doubt. The food is always seasoned so beautifully, staff are one of the friendliest I’ve come across, the service is amazing and the atmosphere is so cosy and friendly, but high-class at the same time. I found this place a month ago and have been back at least twice a week, I can’t resist! Absolutely in love with every part of this restaurant. The tomato bruschetta is my favourite starter - it’s got probably the best seasoned tomatoes I’ve ever tasted.. and for the main I usually get the seafood linguine, which I literally crave at random points in the day. 100% I recommend this place to anyone for any occasion, you will not be disappointed I promise!

Most amazing service - stands out from all the rest, THE FOOD WAS TOP TIER

Fabulous food and service at this local Italian restaurant Great Christmas atmosphere and very good service from the waiter of the evening The spaghetti arrabiatta was perfect

Fantastic food, very nice service. I will dream about this limonczello. The owner is a real host who personally greets each guest.

What a delightful little restaurant. Despite turning up rather late in the evening, and on a mobility scooter, the proprietor welcomed me with open arms. Oh what a refreshing change from the usual "fill their belly,grab their money and fling 'em out" attitude so common in central Twickenham. I thoroughly teccommend this establishment.

A truly lovely family run Italian restaurant with great atmosphere and decor to match. A warm lovely warm welcome on arrival, Food is fantastic quality, good value for money and service incredibly good. Would definitely recommend this local friendly restaurant if you want good homemade Italian food in a lovely ambiance. Dave and Carly

Absolutely amazing restaurant! Fabulous service and equally as good food. Highly recommend!

Drove by vesuvius restaurant ..liked the look so decide to give it a go...oh and what a little find that was....every course was clean well executed and tasty...the staff are great ...prices reasonable..all round lovely place to eat...would definitely recommend a visit .

Excellent food, atmosphere and service.

Very nice place and. Very good food 👌👍👍and nice service we like this place

An excellent restaurant with a fairly small menu (always a good sign, as it means the food is more likely to be freshly prepared and cooked). The quality and presentation of the food was excellent and we enjoyed a very nice bottle of wine. The service was also very friendly. We will definitely be back!

Really good food, nice atmosphere

Really enjoyed Versuvio. Had Risotto, which was very nice indeed

Four of us eat here after hearing people on the R70 raving about it. From a welcoming greeting right through to a Limoncello end to our evening we only had positive things to say. We had homemade focaccia and olives free to nibble on, delicious starters, tasty pasta and amazing homemade tiramisu and Panna cotta and with lovely house red wine. Will definitely be back soon

Lovely lunch and great service. Save room for their special tiramisu

Excellent Food..Specially seafood dishes.. great flavours 👍👍

A really nice experience! The atmosphere, service and food were excellent. Recommend you give it a try as the family running this restaurant are doing all they can to build a great business.

Had dinner here this evening with my daughter and son for my daughter’s 16th. Warm reception and decor followed by fabulous food and service. The complimentary focaccia and olives would probably cost you £7-8 in other restaurants and apparently was the best bread they’d tasted. I had a caprese salad which was delicious, followed by sea bass served with roasted potatoes and salad which was all excellent. The children both had pasta - arrabbiata and bolognaise…both delicious. One mango sorbet later and we were all done…things to do, places to go and all that (I.e. catching up with friends online). Definitely will be back. Great to finally try this newish neighbourhood restaurant after reading such great reviews.

This place is a hidden gem! Such friendly staff, they even made me a dish I wanted that wasn’t on the menu! The food is fresh and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be returning.

Amazing friendly service. We'll definitely come back!

This place is amazing! We went here for my daughters birthday and we even got a birthday song and candle on tiramisu! The food is amazing and we tried a lot of things of the menu- it was perfect! We loved it here thank you so much for such an amazing night. Service is very kind and definitely recommend this place 😃

We had the opportunity to go with our two little ones and we loved the food, freshly made, tasty, clean and awesome customer service. Highly recommended it if you are Italian good lover or even if you are not!!! Haha

The food was AMAZING!!! I ordered the seafood linguini, and it was everything I could want. Being American, I wanted to eat two portions lol, but was very filled by the end. The owner, Ben, is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is so elegant and cozy. Definitely a must try!

I went for dinner with my niece. It was a great experience. The service was attentive but discreet. The decor is lovely together with a nice quiet ambience. The food? Excellent the mussels are divine, possibly the best I’ve had. Give it a try, the owners deserve it.

We had an amazing dinner at Vesuvio, delicious food, a good selection of wines,great staff, and warm decor. We'll definitely come back! Well done to you Beni👏

Food is superb. Highly recommend the mussels and seafood linguine!! My second time going to vesuvio looking forward to going again!!

I'm absolutely delighted to have discovered this hidden treasure in our neighborhood! Ben, our host, went above and beyond to ensure we had a remarkable experience, and the cuisine was simply delicious. Our first visit to the restaurant left us so satisfied that we couldn't resist returning for a second time a few days later. Not only is the food outstanding, but they also offer a delightful array of wines. And let's not forget about their mouthwatering homemade desserts! I highly recommend checking this place out. We'll definitely be coming back here many more times.

What a great place to be ! Great host Delicious Food Good selection of wine Amazing desserts Highly recommended!

Fantastic little Italian restaurant. The food and service were excellent. We had chicken saltimbocca and seafood risotto, both very good and the homemade tiramisu finished it all off perfectly.

Definitely my favourite restaurant! Food is always spot on and great service too. Love that it’s family run and the highest quality, all home made and delicious. Cannot rate highly enough

Visited Vesuvio for the first time last weekend and it was fantastic. Lovely family run restaurant, staff are very attentive, friendly and great with recommendations! Food is fantastic, would recommend the seafood linguine and the tiramisu. Good portions, lovely people and excellent food.

Had a really tasty meal, starter main and dessert all very good and a decent compliment of wines available. Service was excellent and a warm atmosphere, comfortable seating with interesting decor too.

What a pleasant experience. We were greeted at the door and seated by the friendly "Ben" who anticipated our needs throughout the evening. Ben brought us some complimentary warm focaccia and olives to nibble on while we made our menu choices. The menu has a good balance of dishes and I quickly decided on my choices along with a bottle of Ramaro for the table; I have a soft spot for Sicilian red wine. All dishes were well plated and tasted as good as they looked. The portions were also very generous, perhaps "Mama" was in the kitchen dishing the plates. After the meal, there was little room left for dessert, so I shared a panna cotta with my wife; I have to say that it was the best I've ever tasted. My only regret is that I didn't choose one of the seafood dishes, they looked realy appetizing. My relationship with crustacions has always been one where no matter what precautions I take while shelling them, a jet of oil always squirts out and slashes me on my shirt. Perhaps next visit I'll wear on old shirt or a bib; perhaps both.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Ben's restaurant last Friday. The welcome, food and atmosphere were all fabulous. We will definitely be going back to this hidden neighbourhood gem.

A very welcome. A meal before a game at Twickers. Small menu but very authentic, freshly cooked and superb tasting food. I had scampi tagliatelle which came with whole scampi and lovely pasta with amazing sauce and son and husband both had chicken saltimbocca, which was very fresh and tasty. The waiter/owner (?) then with complimentary Limoncello, a lovely surprise. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Went for the first time tonight as a spontaneous visit. Super friendly, nothing too much trouble. Spotless!! Food was so amazing, trying to remember last time I had food like that….. worried now everyone will find it and we won’t get in! Seriously though, give it a go you won’t regret it. And it’s step free!!!!!

Sowohl das Essen als auch das Ambiente und der Service waren wirklich überzeugend. Bei unserem nächsten Aufenthalt in London werden wir gerne wieder dort essen und können es wärmstens empfehlen.

Excellent service. Friendly staff. Great food and wine. Thank you. Highly recommended

Excellent food. The seafood risotto was super and the starters were fantastic too. Great selection of wines. An excellent atmosphere too and great service.

Lovely restaurant! Staff / service was brilliant, helpful and very welcoming. Food was amazing and fresh!! Would definitely recommend!

Lovely local restaurant. Beautifully fresh burrata with Prosciutto, crisp calamari, delicious seafood linguine and also juicy chicken. We loved it and will be back.

We tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday and we were so pleased we did! The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully with its own bar with an excellent selection of wines and beers. The staff were impeccable and very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was top quality and they bought out complimentary freshly made foccia bread and olives which I thought was a nice touch. The seafood linguine was so tasty and the seafood was top quality. I would highly recommend

Excellent restaurant! We had bruchetta to start & mussels, superb! Then the cod & fillet steak again both amazing! Will definitely be back!!

Amazing dinner at the newly refurbished Versuvio restaurants. We all had a wonderful dinner and the service was too notch. Will definitely be back for more!

Went for my partners birthday meal and was extremely impressed. Every dish that we were served was delicious. Simple food done realy well with a lovely atmosphere. Easy to get to by bus as well right by Fulwell I highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality meal out.

Outstanding service during our birthday celebration 🎉! Delicious food and nice atmosphere. 💯 recommended.

Food was amazing, service super attentive. We'll come back!

Had a beautiful dinner here today for fathers day .. food was exceptional , lovely menu, very reasonably priced and service is outstanding. Highly recommended for all occasions and really looking forward to going back. Thank you

Nice to have a true Italian restaurant not too far from home. Visited last Saturday, very nice, clean, friendly place. Not too busy and service was spot on. Food was good and right temperature - definitely just been cooked and not heated in some microwave. All in all a very good quiet meal. Wish there was more of an option on the menu which would make us go back on a more regular basis. Yes we will be back. Sorry no photos, but check their website for photos.

Excellent service, the food was amazing!!!! We ordered the calamari and steakes, everything was 10 out of 10. Ben served us and nothing was too much trouble, I will be coming here regularly. Do yourself a favour and try this local gem. Absolutely outstanding!!!!!

Beautiful, can't recommend enough.

I can recommend the bruschetta, the burrata, the chicken saltimbocca and the seafood linguini.

I had the seafood risotto which's amazing... this place is now on my list when I want authentic Italian food. Also the staff/ boss is welcoming and super friendly.

Food and service is rubbish took an hour for food portion size is wack dont bother all 5 star reviews are clearly fake

warm welcome and lovely environment food freshly cooked and homemade This is the 3rd time and I can’t praise it enough Great value for money and an owner that cares about service and quality so refreshing !

Absolutely love this restaurant. The service is so friendly and the food and wine are excellent. Certainly the best steak and risotto in Twickenham.

Fantastic new restaurant, with great quality Italian food, reasonable prices, and friendly customer service from start to finish. They brought us homemade focaccia to start, which was warm and fresh. Their bruschetta was also very flavourful, one of our favourite starters. For mains we ordered spaghetti bolognese, seafood linguine and tagliatelle with scampi and we finished every last bite. I especially loved the tagliatelle. I would also highly recommend saving room for dessert as their homemade tiramisu was divine! We had a very relaxed and enjoyable meal here and definitely wish to return in the future.

This place is really nice. Their service, food, and decor are all 5 star. I highly recommend it!!

This is a gem of a small restaurant. Despite a busy evening, the food and service were excellent. The food is fresh, beautifully cooked and tastefully presented. The restaurant is small, intimate and the decor is modern but stylishly done. For Italian food lovers, this is a must.

Fantastic good and atmosphere. We came for our wedding anniversary and the table was thoughtfully decorated. The service is outstanding. Delicious, proper Italian food with high-quality ingredients (as good as when we honeymooned in Italy). Highly recommend the seafood linguine. Fantastic wine selection. So happy to have such a high calibre Italian restaurant in the area. The decoration and ambiance is high level and fantastic for a cosy meal or a celebration. We will be back.

Have been to this lovely new restaurant twice now - both times the food was absolutely fantastic, the waiters were very friendly and attentive, and we had a lovely time. Will definitely be back!

Vesuvio is a classy little restaurant with a warm welcome, friendly service and great food. The menu offers plenty of choice and if you go for the tagliatelle with scampi, you get whole scampi! The emphasis is on quality and attractive presentation. We had starters, then pasta dishes with a mixed salad on the side and it was all good. We'd happily eat here again.

Lovely food, great cocktails and fabulous decor and very friendly staff. Family run business. Home made desserts 😋 made to feel really welcome. Will definitely be returning 😃

34 yr old twickenham resident - love eating out at nice places, but usually have to venture out, so was really happy to see a 5 star restaurant open so up close by. Stunning service. Amazing food Great wines. Amazing value. Beautiful decor. Well spaced tables, which is something that is overlooked at even the top restaurants (proximity to strangers will ruin a night). Such a lovely night. Cant recommend enough.

Great new family run restaurant. Very professional members. Food is great... You can taste the freshness.

Went here based on reviews and was really pleasantly rewarded. Service was exceptional, the burrata was really thoughtfully prepared and very fresh, and the scampi tagliatelle was great too. My partner had the seafood risotto, they understood exactly how she preferred it and adjusted to taste. We had to rush off after and they were really speedy and courteous with the bill too. Will come again

Excellent service and great food!
