    Great home cooked Italian food in this small friendly restaurant. You can see into the kitchen and watch pizzas and pasta being made for you. Loved the Pizza Portofino! Perfect for pre-theatre. I’ll be back soon!

    An amazing find in Richmond. Very small restaurant so make sure you book ahead. Food was delicious, wine was good and perfectly chilled. Very friendly service and great atmosphere! Will certainly dine here again!

    I had made a reservation at least 4 weeks ago. We were seated at the table with hardly any room to get in or out so left the restaurant. We did not eat there. I explained to the staff how disappointed I was.

    The team here were excellent. Due to train issues we arrived late and didn’t have a lot of time before we needed to be at the theatre. The restaurant was so efficient, prioritised our order and were very friendly about it. Food was great and good portions, so excellent value for money.

    Really friendly, very small Italian pizzeria. We chose parmigiana followed by gnocchi and pasta salmone. All were very good. Next time, I'm trying the pizzas - which looked delicious.

    We were greeted so warmly and made to feel very welcome. This is a family-run, unpretentious small restaurant providing simple but delicious freshly cooked food. We’ll be back!

    Very busy and very personable little restaurant with fantastic food and fantastic staff. Maria from Colombia who served us was so attentive and friendly and her predecessor, whose name we didn't catch, who went off shift halfway through our meal, was equally so, tho it was very busy.

    I have been to this restaurant several times over a number of years for lunch when attending the rugby at Twickenham. An excellent place for lunch with great pizzas. The service is always welcoming and friendly. We do not live close to Richmond but would definitely use it more frequently if we did.

    Very pleasant local restaurant with lovely, friendly staff. Richmond used to have loads of local, independent restaurants - over the last few years most have closed and so it is especially pleasing that Pizzería Portofino still provides great food and service.

    Restaurant was busy due to the Rugby at Twickenham, but our server couldn’t be more helpful. Food was delicious, especially the pizza. Would thoroughly recommend. They also do breakfast, which I didn’t realise.

    Our second visit to this little Italian trattoria and it was equally good as the first! Cosy and friendly with caring service. Our pasta and pizza were tasty and and the delicious tiramisu was beautifully presented.

    Our waiter was very friendly and approachable, attentive and put us at ease. The pizza was great and felt very good value. Lovely atmosphere felt cozy and personal, a big contrast to many Italian chain restaurants.
