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

The starters were fine, but the ‘Vesuvio’ pizza lacked any punch whatsoever. It only had peppers on one slice. disappointing as we came due to the high review rating.

A great restaurant with a friendly atmosphere with great home cooked Italian food, no frozen or microwaved rubbish. Will return more frequently since we have discovered this great restaurant. Malanzanne is to die for, also the home made dough heart shaped pizzas..... what more to life but good Ialian cooking.

I love this little Italian cafe, it's brilliant for a (very thick) hot chocolate. Similar to what you'd get in the Italian Alps. A lot of people like to come here to sit outside with drinks in the summer too, so it's good all year round. Inside is also a little treasure trove of Italian goodies, which are delicious but also great for gifts. I'd recommend popping in if you're in Church Street.

I had the Margarita Pizza and it was one of the best id ever had. Staff were lovely and friendly and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely go again and would definitely recommend 👍

Ballarò is now closed. This location is now Ristorante Sorrento

Great quality food in a lovely spot, staff are brilliant too.

Delicious meal, great atmosphere and fantastic service. The staff were delightful. Highly recommend!

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.
