The best restaurants serving Italian food in Twickenham Riverside Richmond upon Thames London

Seafood was overcooked so the calamari was very rubbery.

My husband and I know this place since 2008 and every time we eat there we enjoy every single bite!! A special thank you to the owner for his hospitality and service. Kawther and Sofiene

Coffee and ice cream are amazing but service not so much - minimal engagement with the staff but I was ok with that. However, the other day I went in to buy a Christmas cake and a lady in a beige coat was following me around the tiny shop. At first I thought she was a customer but then realised she is actually working there. She didn’t engage or ask anything and it quickly became very apparent that she was on some sort of a shoplifter watch. It was really uncomfortable and not something I ever experienced before. Not busy either, it definitely just made me give up on the cake and I left. I am not sure who needs ti hear this but this is certainly not a way to treat your customers and perhaps you need to reconsider your approach.

We had lunch here on a Thursday, it was surprisingly busy but that's because the food and service are so good. Would definitely recommend.

Ballarò is now closed. This location is now Ristorante Sorrento

I have been here today, food was great, amazing service by Luca. We will be back

A Cena es un restaurante maravilloso que recomendaría encarecidamente. Mi marido y yo comimos allí la semana pasada cuando estuvimos de vacaciones en la zona y disfrutamos de una deliciosa comida de gambas mariposa ajos para empezar, después de lo cual tuve la lubina súper sabrosa con verduras sabrosas y patatas salteadas y mi marido tenía una excelente costilla - filete de ojos que era semi asado y muy tierno. El postre de merengue de frambuesa complementó los platos anteriores. Además de la comida de primera clase, el servicio y el ambiente era perfecto. Estamos tristes de vivir a cientos de kilómetros de distancia. Esperamos que lo volveremos a visitar pronto!

We arrived late afternoon before the Saturday rush. Very friendly staff prepping for post 2nd lockdown service. They still had time to chat about recent struggles but were very positive about the future. This is the first meal here for me although the morning coffee is excellent. We ordered a pizza each and a bottle of very good house red syrah. I could see the kitchen chef rolling and cutting dough in front of the gas pizza oven. The pizza has lovely toppings, were as thin as you could make and very tasty. With an extra large wine and Calypso coffee the bill came to £53. A reasonable price for friendly staff, a nice vibe and good food.
