Xera in Richmond upon Thames

Eaten twice food average both times pasta better than the awful panini I had at lunchtime. Owner often outside standing and smoking.The thing that annoys me most is friends of the restaurant parking on the pavement and across the crossing which is used by elderly in the area on a daily basis. You have a duty as a business owner to ensure your customers are respecting the area not parking on the tactile pavement which is used by those with poor sight to know when to cross safely.

Found this little restaurant after walking through Richmond from the tube station. Everywhere was packed on the BH weekend so we continued until the hill and spotted this on the left.We were seated outside which was lucky as the weather was lovely.Drinks were offered quickly so top marks for that.We had a pasta dish and the margherita pizza with spicy pepperoni extra. Plates were polished off so all in all a very positive visit.Prices were as expected for that part of town.Only 4 stars since we only had 1 course and didn't sample wine or the inside at all.Will definitely return if passing through in future.

This is a friendly unassuming restaurant with welcoming staff and delicious food. Everything felt freshly prepared, arrived piping hot, and was served with a smile. We departed with a warm glow. Recommended.

I'm glad I found this restaurant because it's authentic and the food is not even that pricey considering the location. We had a few appetizers and I loved their arancini and bruschette. For the mains we tried their pastas and they were absolutely amazing. The owner was also very friendly and often came around our table to ask how things were going. I can also see that they sell typical Sicilian products so I would recommend this if you don't have a local Italian food store around you.

We didn’t book but was kindly squeezed in, we were enamoured the moment we sat down, amazing atmosphere, gorgeous menu and wine which was superb. Felt so relaxed but looked after, this was an outstanding meal and all round lovely evening, we will recommend to anyone who might listen. 100% a must place to visit for Richmond.

This restaurant offers authentic Sicilian cooking , with a with a wide range of dishes . The food is excellent and they have a good wine selection also . It can get very busy.They have some seating out side

Fabulous restaurant! Authentic Italian food and excellent service. Michael, our waiter, was so attentive and really made an effort to ensure we had everything we needed - he made our visit even more worth it.The food (starters, mains, desserts and drinks) were all delicious. Had two helpings of the almond pie dessert! Meals came out hot and fresh, pasta was perfectly al dente!! I could not recommend this restaurant highly enough. Drove from an hours away to come here, and I would do it again for sure.

Outstanding food with great ambience. The first Sicilian restaurant to land in Richmond, bringing great taste and character from the home land of Italy!Very fast service and a warm, welcoming customer experience.Highly recommend 😉

Our daughters and son in law took us here for a belated 40th wedding anniversary meal when we in London on Sat 18th September 2021.The food was amazing, so tasty. Plenty to choose from for meat eaters and Vegetarians. Some of our party enjoyed the cocktails and a nice bottle of wine.The staff were lovely especially the young man who served us and a nice girl who said we could have another drink even though we were only people left. My coffee was nice and strong the way l like.

Best Sicilian food in London hands down. The portions are fantastic and the ingredients are so fresh and flavourful for a great price. Amazing and attentive staff, real authentic Italian cuisine! I will most certainly be taking all my friends here
