Bacco Restaurant

We had the pre-theatre menu but found that the food was rather bland. The service was fine. The wine was quite pleasant but rather expensive.

We went early before the theatre and it worked perfectly. The food was excellent and the staff pleasant and efficient and we were able to eat in comfort and not feel we had to rush to get to the theatre. Perfect place for supper before the theatre.

Book for two but 4 friends arrived unexpectedly and Bacco were happy to accommodate them even though they were very busy. The staff were very polite and helpful. So rate the service very highly. Been there several times and love the food and more than happy to go again. Best Italian in Richmond.

Food very nice, nice table but very slow service and difficult to get attention. Being sat in the far corner didn't help. Nicely decorated after recent refurbishment.

Good food, good wine, cosy atmosphere. Wrong wine chosen at first although dome assistance from the sommelier and the bottle we enjoyed complemented our meal perfectly.

Slow service, bland food with a real lack of meat or fish. One pasta dish contained far too many whole slices of garlic and long thick strands of lemon skin ... Very unpleasant and overpowering. When I order a 'seafood' risotto I expect several pieces of each type of seafood - not 1 mussel out of three shells, two small prawns and no calamari despite the menu saying there was calamari and clams.... Overall a very underwhelming meal. The wine was good though

Excellent as always. We have visited Bacco several times, for pre-theatre meals and more leisurely dining. They never fail to impress. I would thoroughly recommend.

A lot of fun. Food was delicious. Service excellent. Area in Richmond very respectable. Close to Orange Tree theatre, hotels and Richmond shopping center. Would come again.

The make over has produced a great atmosphere and the kitchen still produces excellent food. The craft ales from Italy are worth trying but machete at 7.6 per cent needs careful handling.

Fantastic food, a good range of wines and attentive service. The scallop starter was a melt in the mouth experience and the past a main curse delicious. Nice atmosphere but layout a little restricted.

Interesting well executed menu, good service, and a wide choice of wines. Pasta dishes were unusual with e.g. duck rage pappardelle and burrata stuffed cappelletti. We will be back.

My companion and I ordered from the pre-theatre menu which may have been a mistake..fish cakes and salmon both slightly burned/overdone...starter of beetroot and fregola pasta was fine..sweet and sour cheese cake desert pretty good..service a bit lacklustre..certainly not bad..but not sparky..I would only go again if also attending Orange Tree Theatre performance..and I'd order a la carte..making sure to include a pasta dish. Sorry not to be more enthusiastic but I was disappointed overall.

V pleasant welcome and attentive service. Both our dishes (risotto, and tagliatelli with shaved truffle) were excellent. All prompt, leaving us in good time for the theatre!

Food was very nice, if not a little expensive for the portion size. Service was variable, polite but not always quick. Atmosphere was pleasant and location nice and close to the station. House wine was good value.

Good quality food. The pasta dishes were excellent. Didn't try the dessert. Great wine list with wines from suggested regions of Italy. Friendly service. Will come again

Fantastic service and food. From the fresh, warm bread basket as a starter to the espressos at the end! Very happy with our dining experience and will definitely return. Perfect for pre-theatre dining.

Nice decor and tasty food. However the plates were cold and the door open so the food went cold very quickly while waiting for all dishes and veg to arrive. Water served in tiny carafes so had to constantly ask for more. Wine delicious and good choice. If niggles are ironed out it good be excellent.

Delicious food and good value for money. Friendly and helpful staff. Our number one choice when visiting the Orange Tree theatre in Richmond as it is so convenient.

Menu changes required more assessment as usual fare not available.Hover eventual choices of risotto/peas excellent and other main of salmon reportedly delicious.Well done again Baco Oh and the recommended Italian Suvignon blanc was fresh/fruity

Friendly, Italian welcome, delicious fresh food, very unobtrusive service. Altogether a lovely place to share a wonderful meal with friends and family. A highly recommended gem of a restaurant.

Food ,as always ,truly excellent but my guest was American who values crisp anticipatory service and we had to keep chasing !should be easy to fix,however,and the refurb looks smart !

We found the experience to be expensive and our table which was near the staff door was not pleasant. The food was ok but not special

First time at Bacco. We had the pre-theatre prix-fixe for £15. Really good food and very good value. Staff were delightful. Will definitely go back.

Great food, wine and atmosphere! Really enjoyed the food, great wine recommendation and hugely friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely be back again soon!

Delicious italian food is served in this friendly restaurant next to the Orange Tree theatre in Richmond. They are used to providing food quickly for theatre goers.

Food was delicious and the set menu was excellent value for money. Friendly and helpful staff too. Our favourite eating place when we go to the Orange Tree theatre in Richmond.

Amazing food and service. We would recommend to anyone! Lovely staff and atmosphere. Stefano, the owner always makes us feel welcome. I had a braised lamb shoulder which was very tasty as well as my girlfriends crab pasta. See you again soon!

By far one of the very best Italian restaurants in London! Freshly made pasta and bread plus handmade biscotti to dip in coffee or ice cold Limoncello. Alongside welcoming service, everything was perfect and I'm still remembering every bite of the pasta with black truffles served in a Parmesan cheese basket...

We received a wonderful service, excellent food and the atmosphere was lovely. We have various allergies and all of them were met without any problems. Look forward to going again.

Half the table's meals were good the other half were bad. A nice location and good service but overall it was disappointing and not good value for money.

It's always a pleasure to dine at Bacco - good food, charming service, and now an interesting new menu. We will of course return soon.

Good staff made us welcome and served us efficiently. Food a little disappointing, but nice atmosphere. Convenient location. Maybe should feature local parking on website?

great food. v g service. good wine list. lovely atmosphere with enough space between tables to feel private will def go again. also v g value for money

Excellent service and food. Very acommodating and welcoming, even though we were so busy chatting that the waiter had to come back three times to finally take our order. No pressure to finish our meal quickly and get out. A lovely evening. Thank you!!

Had the pre theatre menu which looked amazing value but was a little dissapointing compared to the normal menu. The red mullet was a very small portion and was cold and the pork was very dry. Vegetables are extra. However do have eaten here before and it was excellent. The house wine in the carafes are very good.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and accommodating staff and management and most important of all beautiful food. Simple we'll presented and delicious. The house Chianti is a must.

A lovely spot for an evening with friends or a couple. Food always top quality. Interesting wine list with some unusual varieties. Well worth experimenting.

An amazing experience, really and genuine Italian food. The head chef is knows his trade and the staff floor is kind and funny. I will come back for sure. Good value for money.

Good value for money. A bit rushed matter of fact service from some staff obviously used to diners using the deal but overall worth it - if you remember to order a meal that doesn't need sides and dont brother with coffee/tea otherwise you could be paying an extra £14

This is our favourite Restaurant in Richmond. Has to be the best Italian Restaurant in the Richmond upon Thames area. The food is always high quality ingredients , well prepared and served by friendly and professional staff. A joy for us and will be repeated many more times. highly Recommend!!
