Al Boccon di’Vino

Richmond, Kew & Hampton Court


This stellar Venetian restaurant is generally crammed with eager gourmands. Rather audaciously, there’s neither menu nor wine list, but this adds adventurousness to the culinary occasion, as overseen by owner Riccardo Grigolo. You may get pasta fresca ripiena (filled pasta) or agnello al forno (roast lamb), depending on the availability of the freshest ingredients (and fresh they are).

Meals consist of a sequence of 10 or more courses, at a flat fee of £45 (wine is also a take-it or leave-it £25), so come with an empty tummy. Book well ahead, especially for weekends.
