L'assaggino - London

Fantastic authentic Italian cuisine with a great atmosphere. You couldn’t ask for more.

Food was excellent except for the cheese board which is why I have marked the down in some areas.

Lovely food, served quickly and good selection of wine. Service was super friendly.

Very nice place located in a very nice area of Richmond. Very positive: Owners and staff were very friendly and kind people. Drinks wise, my partner and I really liked the idea of Spritz and Negroni made with the typical Sardinian spirit, Mirto, as the Vermentino white wine was nice too. We were promptly served with Aperitifs and bread and olives, which were very nice. I enjoined my starter, Calamari ripieni and the dessert which was Millefoglie sarda. Very negative: My Calamari ripieni portion, in spite of the fact I really enjoyed them, was very small. Too small, I’d say, even for a starter. My partner’s BRUSCHETTA RUSTICA. The bread wasn’t nice at all as the cherry tomatoes weren’t. The mains, we had great expectations about, left us very disappointed. I ordered fresh pappardelle chestnut pasta with lamb ragù, but in spite of the fact the lamb sauce wasn’t bad at all, the pasta was quite disappointing. The Pappardelle were basically flavourless. My partner Sea-bass pan fried with salad and potatoes didn’t taste nice either. Especially the potatoes seemed old, like if they were reheated from the day before. Shame. Because we really liked the place, the atmosphere and the people working there, but if, the overall experience about food we were served was disappointing, that makes us not coming back there ever again.

The food and service was fantastic, such a cute and quirky restaurant, will definitely be back next time we are in Richmond
