A new Italian cafe at the Twickenham Green end of Heath Road. The breakfast offering is the usual menu of English Breakfast, eggs florentine, avocado etc. but served with some flair. The coffee is made with Italian attention. The food is served with Italian friendliness. They do lunches and serve dinner on Friday and Saturday. I'm looking forward to trying dinner.
PS: it's Donna Lucia
A hidden Gem! We were walking past and thought this looks nice and the manager smiled and rushed out to meet us! Small but perfect menu! The calamari starter was very generous and my main of the aubergine pasta was delicious! Very friendly staff and great service.
Been here for breakfast, dinner and lunch, and on all three occasions I found the food really good, well cooked, flavoursome and nicely presented. Also moderately priced. Staff very friendly and attentive, with that pleasant Southern Italian warmth. The restaurant is welcoming and fresh. I think it will become very popular with locals and visitors alike.
Have been meaning to try this lovely little new neighbourhood restaurant for a while. It’s a short, delicious menu, quality ingredients, really well executed and wonderful Sicilian hospitality from Lucia herself. The Primitivo wine was so good. All reasonably priced. A great addition to our local community. We will be back!
Very friendly service and an affordable short menu for dinner on Friday and Saturdays. Short menu usually means freshly made and cooked to order which it seemed to be, it was all very tasty. Like the food there is a short wine list at low prices. Very nice meal at what will become a neighbourhood favourite.
I have visited this spot a number of times in the past 6 months for lunch. I don't think you will find more authentic Italian food in west London. There tiramisu is worth fighting for! The young couple who opened the restaurant have put everything they have into the venture and it comes through in the taste and the personal service. I recommend you try them.
Perfect intimate local gem for a Friday night bite..apparently soon to open most evenings for dinner (as well as breakfast and lunch) as opposed to just at weekends. Open since Jan 2019, this is a genuinely delightful, atmospheric, friendly and tasty addition to the non-pub and non-chain eating options in central Twickenham. Decent range of meat and fish dishes, attentive service from very committed manager Lucia and team and a cheerful Mediterranean playlist - all the right ingredients for a great local evening out. A special mention for the attractive and thoughtful decor indoors and out. The flower boxes around the outdoor seating made us notice the familiar building with fresh eyes and go closer to investigate. I hope this lovely local enterprise gets the support it deserves!
New menu persuaded me to visit. Relaxed atmosphere and the the new tapas menu is interesting. Had chorizo and calamari which were excellent. The meatballs were ok only because it felt and looked like the sauce was re heated and not fresh. Will be back to give them another chance
Some of the best breakfast in town, recently tried their dinner and it was amazing for the price. Regularly have good specials and ingredients sourced from Italy! Really friendly and you feel right at home
Lovely place. It is a few minutes walk from home and in the week it is a very welcoming Italian cafe which blossoms into a proper restaurant at the weekends. Fresh food, great service,reasonable prices. A definite improvement to Twickenham.
