About Q Verde
Q Verde is a family-run Italian restaurant at 291 Sandycombe Rd in Richmond, a couple of minutes' walk from Kew Gardens station. The kitchen makes its pasta in house, and the truffle ravioli is one of the specials. Tagliatelle al gamberoni sits alongside the Italian fish and meat dishes, giving the menu both seafood and meat to choose from. Garlic bread and a run of starters open the meal, and tiramisu is one of the desserts at the end. The chicken is halal, while the other meat is not.

Customer Review Summary
Pasta anchors the praise, with the truffle ravioli and the shrimp tagliatelle named most often, alongside a bolognese and an Italian sausage pasta. Close behind are the desserts, including tiramisu, panna cotta and a cannoli one reviewer cannot stop thinking about, plus coffee described as rich and smooth. Starters such as garlic mushrooms, calamari, fried mozzarella and melanzane also come up. Several reviewers call the food authentic and say it recalled holidays in Italy, and many describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, with the owner called hospitable. One reviewer notes the chicken is halal while other meat is not, and asks diners to confirm with staff before ordering. One diner recalls a server fetching a cider from the shop next door when the restaurant had none, and another says staff put a candle in a birthday dessert.

“Hands down the best Italian food I've ever had. The owner is a remarkably charming and hospitable gentleman. We had an amazing time and spent many hours at the restaurant. Their team really spend time and effort preparing the food. You can tell they are passionate about their craft from the quality of the food. We were also surprised how amazing their coffee was. Incredible rich and smooth! This restaurant is a must for anyone seriously looking for quality Italian food. The chicken is halal, other meat isn't so lelase confirm from the members of staff before ordering. 10/10 for both food and service. 🤩”

“Easily, the very best Italian restaurant I have ever been in the UK!!! As someone who has travelled to Italy often this is authentic at its best, we were a Thursday night drop in and Gerardo looked after us incredibly well and the food, quite clearly outstanding!! We had the truffle ravioli and the Italian sausage pasta along with a handful of starters, absolutely beautiful!!! We will be back very often! Thanks from Ryan and Hannah”

“The food was absolutely amazing, and I enjoyed every dish I tried. This is by far the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. The quality of the food, the authentic flavors, and the attention to detail were outstanding. On top of that, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit. It was a truly memorable dining experience, and I will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in the country. Highly recommended!”
