“ Local Italian restaurant in Kingston. My new favourite in the area. Hearty delicious plates of pasta with good portions. The seafood pastas are great and recommend trying them out. The starters like the bruschetta are also worth ordering. The wine selection could be improved. ”

“ We came to Trattoria Calabrese because we were visiting Richmond Park abd were curious about the 4.8 stars on Google (and we love Italian food) and SO GLAD we came. The men who attended us were beyond nice, and the two pastas we ordered were amazing, the nduja one (it is spicy so beware!) and the creamy prawn-salmon. All super good. The portions look small in the pictures, do not be fooled as they were quite big! Do come if you are in the area! We will be back for sure. ”
“ Nice pasta and environment! Too delicious that I forgot to take photo of my pasta ”
“ Our favourite Italian in London and it’s surroundings. Amazing food and it has kids menu, decent portions, great chef, family feel- you can find it all there. I can only advise to print out some pictures and keep crayons to attract more families with small kids. ”
