  “Avoid!! If you can make good Italian dishes at home save yourself ££££ or go to Sebastian's opposite. The only 2 important things in a restaurant, food & service. Both were in NEGATIVE figures tonight. I ordered a tomato salad and pasta with king prawn tomato sauce, a standard couple of dishes. I received a bowl of just cherry tomatoes and a small bowl full of tasteless pasta, no sauce and 3 prawns. I left it and spoke to Kirina our waitress, I didn't eat it or won't it. I said it isn't nice she said "You didn't say anything before, it will go on the bill!" Maybe Kirina, you should have found out why I didn't want to eat it! This booking was for my friends birthday a special occasion. But the food was so bland, even chilli flakes couldn't save it. I said 3 times. "I don't want to make a fuss, but its not nice." Then another waitress came over announcing to the table, asking, that the chef wants to know specifically what's the problem. It was embarrassing. I explained my problem and said I'm happy to come over later and explain again, it was very awkward, invasive and inappropriate. We chose your restaurant for a special occasion and you were not in the least hospitable and the food very disappointing. We brought a cake which we asked whether it was ok to bring. No problem they said. They brought it out when half the table were not even there, it sounds bad but, the restaurant is small so you should know where your customers are. Then when we got the bill they charged us £45, for bringing a cake. I cannot speak for the other guests, but for me it was not worth a penny of my money or yours. Never again. From a local business.”

  “We had a wonderful experience at L’Assaggino! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. Every detail made the evening special, and you can really feel the passion behind the food and service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine and a lovely dining experience. We will definitely be coming back!”

  “Popped in for lunch, tge fixed lunch menu looked interesting. Just one other having lunch, it wascearly was early! Starters were excellent, well worth the £2 additional charge. Mains, carbonate which was also excellent See photos of the food that was served up. Oh, do ask for the Italian chilli oil and flakes. Service was good Tiny restaurent,but two further floors going up narrow stairs. Toilets are on the uppermost floor. There is a restaurent in Kingston Park Rd, same name, but this restaurant in Richmond is way better. Do drop in and ask for the lunch set menu”

  “I’ve here for lunch a couple of times now, and I always enjoy. We had some starters to share today and then I ordered Octopus Pasta and my friend Lamb ragu. Everything was amazing, friendly and cozy. Will come back.”

  “Food was excellent - lamb ragu was rich and flavourful, with the fresh pasta as a massive plus. Was a bit cramped, with a slightly strange layout, and one of the waiters unfortunately gave me and my girlfriend a "ladies" to kick off a very awkward ordering. Would certainly return given I work locally.”

  “Unfortunately, the day we visited for lunch, it was raining heavily but the staff were incredibly kind and understanding. They let us dry off in the restroom and showed real compassion, which made a big difference. We didn’t have to wait long for our food, and the portions were generous, we even had to take some away. The bill was reasonable, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was cozy and inviting. It spans three floors, with the second floor being ideal for larger groups. The food presentation was lovely, and the flavours were decent, though not the best Italian we’ve had in London. Still, a pleasant experience overall, thanks to the warm service and atmosphere.”

  “The food at the restaurant was really delicious! It was our first time trying Sardinian cuisine, and even the older family members enjoyed it — it was quite well accepted. The Sicilian tomato salad was especially sweet and flavorful. The owner clearly cares a lot about the chefs — he introduced us to the lovely and very charming chef who prepared our meal! You should definitely making a reservation before you went there.”
