London restaurant review in Twickenham

“What a pleasant experience. We were greeted at the door and seated by the friendly "Ben" who anticipated our needs throughout the evening. Ben brought us some complimentary warm focaccia and olives to nibble on while we made our menu choices. The menu has a good balance of dishes and I quickly decided on my choices along with a bottle of Ramaro for the table; I have a soft spot for Sicilian red wine. All dishes were well plated and tasted as good as they looked. The portions were also very generous, perhaps "Mama" was in the kitchen dishing the plates. After the meal, there was little room left for dessert, so I shared a panna cotta with my wife; I have to say that it was the best I've ever tasted. My only regret is that I didn't choose one of the seafood dishes, they looked realy appetizing. My relationship with crustacions has always been one where no matter what precautions I take while shelling them, a jet of oil always squirts out and slashes me on my shirt. Perhaps next visit I'll wear on old shirt or a bib; perhaps both.”

“I had the Linguine Granchio at Bella Vita last night and it was absolutely fantastic — perfectly cooked pasta with tender, flavorful crab in a light, aromatic sauce that tasted incredibly fresh. For dessert, the Tiramisu was heavenly — creamy, rich, and just the right balance of coffee and sweetness. Every bite was pure Italian delight! The service was friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

“Extremely well-located Lebanese restaurant - at the heart of Twickenham’s high street area. I mostly opt for takeaways. The restaurant is small but cosy. The food is delicious with a large vegetarian selection. Busy at all hours but the staff is mostly friendly! I liked the dishes, the crockery and the place has a buzz during the day, especially on weekends. On a recent dine-in we tried the yoghurt & cucumber starter dish, a couple of vegetarian wraps and a Meze platter for one - which was especially good value for even two people, if accompanied with a selection of 3 or so savouries! Tasty food and at good value. The staff are friendly and cordial, but the service isn’t exemplary - if only because the place is really busy at most times and staff are busier with the preparation. Even so, it’s the kind of local diner you’d find yourself visiting fairly frequently. I recommend it !”

“Really good Thai food with great flavors, and they were happy to accommodate special requests. Not cheap, but definitely worth it and highly recommendable. Try the coconut rice as a side - mouth watering!”

“Perfect Friday night go-to! (Meant to say this yesterday…. YUM! The food arrives hot even though it’s a long drive for the delivery person (sorry!), which really shows the quality.”

“Had a delicious birthday meal here last week. Food was absolutely delicious (we opted for the tapas style dishes which were all very yummy) and our servers were extremely kind and welcoming!”

“Excellent burritos served to me by Abdul who was incredibly accommodating for my big order for my whole family gave another reason to keep coming back”

“Excellent food and service. Already looking forward to come back and try more Vareniki and Pelmeni!!!”

“We went to the restaurant a couple of weeks ago as we wanted to try some authentic Italian food. The service is provided directly by the owner and it feels like you were in some place in Italy. Food was the best quality we have tried in the UK. Again, it makes you feel you are in Italy. The chef cuisine was fantastic and the even combined one of the pizzas with the famous “Porchetta”. Being Spanish, I felt the taste and warmth of the Mediterranean. Really pleased with the experience and 200% recommended”

“A Thai Delight My wife and I loved our meal here. The Green Curry was perfectly balanced and flavorful with the Boiled Rice, and the Carrot Salad was a fresh, zesty hit. Great food and a pleasant experience overall. Highly recommend!”

“Great stay, lovely staff. Clean modern room. Nice pool. Breakfast not too busy even at peak time and hot fresh food. Location not particularly close to much public transport but that won’t be an issue for everyone”

“Best curry and Biriyani and food I’ve tasted in a long time. The lamb biriyani, the meat is cooked so tender it just falls apart in your mouth. 5 star all round. Lovely customer service. Love this Restaurant and food Thank you”

“Good customer service and good food always it's BEST.Not too spicy good fresh food everyday.”

“I've just checked out this morning and have to say the overall experience I had during my one night stay was very good. Much better than I had expected having read the recent reviews. Even taking into consideration the budget price, the room was a good size, clean, the bed was comfortable. The dinner and breakfast, though not as good as Premier Inn's, were adequate for the price and the staff on reception and in the dining area were polite and attentive. Not much to improve on in all honesty. Thank you.”

“We had a wonderful experience at the Premier Inn London Hammersmith (Ravenscourt Park) last spring. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean (and affordable), and the location is absolutely excellent. Our group got stuck in London in the Heathrow shutdown chaos, and manager Lenuta at Premier Inn was absolutely incredible with helping us secure rooms for extra nights. She was so kind and helpful. The staff also surprised two of the college students on the trip with a birthday celebration when the extended trip meant they didn't get to spend their birthdays at home. We cannot say enough good things about our experience at this Premier Inn. It's also an excellent location--close to a beautiful park, wonderful cafes, a short walk to the amenities in Hammersmith, and just a short walk to Ravenscourt station, which offers easy Tube access to the entire city.”

“The food tasting was sooo good today! Everything was bursting with flavor — I couldn’t resist and had to buy more. Absolutely delicious!”

“Let me be very clear. This was a great pizza find. A great dough base with plenty of toppings. 10/10! The one and only issue was the way the pizza was cut/sliced. My car key would have done a better job. All in all, a really great find!”

“La Piazza is, by far, one of the best restaurants in the area. Having been a few times before, I knew what a great place it was: friendly, welcoming and with delicious food, prepared and served with genuine passion by the owner. And this occasion was no exception. Rubik’s hospitality was - as usual - second to none, and he made my dinner date with a friend very special.”

“As an avid fan of Japanese cuisine I had a great dinner at Umi. The menu consists of a wide variety of different Japanese dishes which accommodates for all kinds of meal preferences. All the dishes we ordered were very fresh and were prepared with great detail. All dishes worked to create an authentic experience. In particular, the pork cutlet in the curry don was cooked to perfection with a crispy breaded surface and a tender centre. The sashimi had a umami flavour which is always a pleasant surprise in good quality sashimi. The establishment has a comfortable atmosphere and the high quality service provided by the staff of Umi ensured that we had a great time. I would highly recommend Umi as a go-to for authentic Japanese food.”

“OMG, Better Bagels are amazing. Staff are very friendly and helpful if you don't know what fillings to have. They've got an amazing fries menu which is a meal in itself. Take away only as only a tiny shop next door to Whitton train station. The Bagels are just like the American ones with a wide selection of fillings or make your own up. Prices are very reasonable and well worth a visit. If you love bagels you'd love Better Bagels. Visit asap, you won't be disappointed. They also have amazing shakes and juices, and pretty decent coffee as well.”

“Delicious food at a decent price and lovely service. The cafe has been beautifully redecorated too. Plus we could watch our kids in the playground whilst enjoying the fair!!”

“Delicious food with so many different flavours to enjoy! We had a wonderful meal. The chef truly touched my heart—the dishes took me right back to home.”

“The best Pizza I’ve ever had in my life! They do so much different food & they’ve mastered it all. Incredible service with even better food. Can’t recommend this place enough genuinely!!!!”

“We stopped by Greek Cook & Grill after a day exploring Teddington, Kingston, and Richmond, and it was easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while. The service was genuinely top-notch, and every dish we tried—from the chicken souvlaki and sea bream to the saganaki, baklava, and portokalopita—was delicious. Great wine and friendly vibes made it a perfect end to a busy day. Highly recommend!”

““Rich cafe is very welcoming and cosy place with wonderful location. Every time we go there if it is just for a coffee, family breakfast or lunch, there is always plenty options to choose from tasty food and yummy deserts. The staff is so polite and helpful, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thanks Mario for the wonderful care given to us. Forever repeat customers!””

“Usually head up to Twickenham on the weekends so surprised I haven’t popped into visit this place already as been looking for a decent breakfast/brunch venue in the area. This place doesn’t disappoint. Full Breakfast and brunch menu and really attentive staff. Ordered the house breakfast with tea - very good portion (the beans surprisingly good) - also do Eggs Florentine and Eggs Bendict but next time will try the Traditional Shakshuka. Only a short walk from Twickenham station, near the William Web Ellis pub.”

“One of the best Italian restaurants in London. The pizza is actually better than the pizza we had in Florence. Brilliant Neoplitan pizza. Fresh ingredients. Also the mushroom vegetarian Ravioli pasta was excellent. Prices were worth it. I'd highly recommend visiting.”

“Lovely place and lovely food ! We went without reservation and they welcomed us anyway. Quite fast serving even if was very busy . Big portions and tasted amazing . Friendly staff , speaking also in Italian . They offered an Italian amaro drinks too after dinner . Definitely we will go back !”

“Food is so delicious and staff is friendly too. Great place to hangout.”
