Eating here felt like being transported back to Italy- this is how a true Italian restaurant should be, taste and feel like. The menu is small as the restaurant concentrates on pasta as well as a variety of starters but everything is cooked with fresh produce of the highest quality and the prices are low for what they offer. Thoroughly recommend, Grazie

My son has just moved to Richmond and exploring town we found this superb restaurant. The staff are very welcoming. We all had a super meal but a special recommendation had to go to the oven baked octopus. Oh goodness, a good heaven moment for me

I'm so pleased this little gem of a restaurant has opened. I'm now a regular visitor and worried about my waistline. That said, it's well worth an extra inch or two. The food is delicious and well priced. The wines are lovely and really well chosen but the main thing is that the food, ambiance and staff passed the acid test with flying colours. I took my dear mother there. She loved in. Enough said, just go and say hi to Manolo and Laura from me ♥️♥️♥️
