A Cena in Richmond upon Thames

Quality restaurant, best in the area; super food and great staff.

Just popped in this lovely restaurant 'A Cena' to see if they served Irish Coffee with Tia Maria, and to our surprise they did :)We were greeted by the owner and his wife, such a warm welcome.Professional, friendly along with a lovely setting, clean and kept well.The delicious homemade Italian bread with quality Olive oil was superb, the best I've tasted in a long time.Earl grey tea served in a pot, was lovely.We will definitely be visiting again,I highly recommend.

Lovely lunch, not your typical Italian food but a nice selection of well prepared and presented food. Service was also excellent and friendly. Will be going back for an evening meal soon.

Lovely place, well composed menu, delicious food and great value. Feels genuinely local but also very Italian - well worth a detour and a must if you’re anywhere near Richmond/Twickenham

One of the best Italian restaurants that I have ever tried!This is not the typical pizzeria or pasta restaurant, this is a place where you have delicious and high quality Italian dishes.You can choose great pasta options as starters, I had the Linguine Vongole and it was just…amazing!Then, for the main course, there are some delicious options as well. I had a tasty pan fried sea bass with corn and spinach. Wonderful options!The facilities are excellent, the atmosphere is perfect and the staff is the best of the best. They are very friendly and welcoming since the moment you arrive to the restaurant.Regarding the parking, people can park in the street just in front of the restaurant. Very convenient.I really recommend eating here and I am sure that you will have a fantastic experience!

Amazing food! The manager delivers a perfect and heart-warming service. The chefs James and Jakob are doing an amazing job in the kitchen and make the food outstanding.

We had the best experience here last night (Friday), we didn’t have a reservation and the restaurant was buzzing but managed to get a table.Some very nice touches - taking our coats, great wine list and recommendations, we didn’t really enjoy the wine we had chosen (primitivo) and it was replaced without any fuss. Things you’d expect from high end restaurant yet such an unpretentious family like lively atmosphere with very attentive staff. Food was delicious, had the spaghetti cacio e pepe, linguine with clams and shared the ribeye which was absolutely delicious. Will be back, thank you!

Food was nice and the staff attentive, pleasant and efficient. Ambiance is good. But very pricey for what we had.

Fabulous! We all had different choices and all loved what turned up. Top quality ingredients beautifully presented. Too full for desert. Service friendly, relaxed and understated. Can't wait to go back.

This is probably some of the best food I've ever had, the fish and seafood are ridicously fresh. The skate wing might have been the most interesting meal I've ever tried and the service was really friendly aswell but my portion of linguine was ridicously small and the portion of fish by itself really needed an accompniment to balance it out since the flavours were so strong.
