My favourite restaurant in Richmond. Everything cooked fresh. This means that they are able to cater for his unusual allergy and he had far more choice than usual. The food is delicious. Dietary restrictions: As previously mentioned, everything is cooked fresh, so dishes could be adapted to account for allergies Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

L'assaggino Richmond is a relatively small family run restaurant with a small menu of Italian dishes. It is on two levels with a relatively small upstairs area. Although it is small, the chat can be relatively noisy and isn't helped by the wooden floor. A quirky feature was all the side plates were different The food was truly delicious with pasta dishes featuring homemade pasta. There were seven in my group and we were all impressed. The tiramasu was also delicious. The whole experience was topped by nice red and white wines. Service was friendly, welcoming and efficient. A slight down side is that there seemed to be only one unisex toilet for the whole restaurant.

I would love to be able to review the restaurant properly but unfortunately my booking (confirmed by text and email) through Google The Fork failed to make it onto the restaurant’s system and my husband and I together with my sisters and our parents were turned away not the restaurant’s fault perhaps but they were not particularly apologetic So don’t book through the Fork and check that your reservation has actually been made.

The food was ok, not the best not the worst, definitely expensive for what it is and the menu is limited. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
