Our Story

L'assaggino

100% Italian

A Grade II listed, established Italian pasta restaurant built on traditional values—fresh food, simple ingredients, and good wine. We use carefully sourced, seasonal produce to create beautiful, rustic dishes full of flavour.

With a lively, welcoming atmosphere, a thoughtful wine list, and friendly, attentive service, L’assagino offers something a little more personal in a neighbourhood often filled with chain venues. Our menu celebrates the best of the seasons, with quality ingredients at its heart.

Join us any day for lunch or dinner – we’d love to have you.

Our Philosophy

Come and experience the warm welcome of L’assaggino and enjoy an authentic Italian experience in a fantastic location near the green in Richmond.

L’assaggino is not part of a restaurant chain, unlike so many Richmond Restaurants. It is family owned and run. Everything is done with a personalised touch making L’assaggino a favourite on the Richmond restaurant scene.

The philosophy of L’assaggino’s Chef is one of creating bold flavour by amplifying the essence of seasonal ingredients. The signature pasta is made in-house and is paired with the highest quality, Italian source ingredients.
