I’d been peeping into this place which appeared a few months so while wandering down Paved Court on the way to Richmond Green, & on impulse decided to go in for lunch. Can’t wait to go back! The food was absolutely delicious & really fresh, the people looking after us were lovely, warm, welcoming & passionate about their Italian menu. We shared stuffed squid to start with – sublime – then my friend had black linguine vongole (her favourite pasta dish) & pronounced it the best she’d ever had. I had the special fregola with seafood, which was gorgeous. A lot on the small but perfectly formed menu which I liked the look of. Very reasonably priced as well.One word of warning – the bathroom is right up at the top of two flights of a very steep wooden staircase, so not for the faint-hearted, but the room up there is beautifully appointed! There’s another lovely dining room on the first floor, so room for more people in the restaurant than you can see at first glance. Strongly recommend this as the perfect lunch or evening spot, very well situated in the heart of Richmond.
