Local area

Paved Court is one of Richmond’s most appealing hidden corners — a quiet, pedestrianised alley that opens onto Richmond Green, and exactly the kind of spot that rewards those who know the town well. L’assaggino sits comfortably within Richmond’s tradition of supporting independent businesses over chains, complementing the borough’s unhurried, community-minded character. For residents who stroll the Green, visit the Saturday market or arrive via the well-connected station, having a genuinely accomplished Italian restaurant tucked nearby feels entirely in keeping with what makes Richmond such a satisfying place to live.

Why choose L'assaggino Richmond

L’assaggino offers something increasingly rare: a neighbourhood Italian restaurant with a clear culinary identity — Sardinian cooking alongside broader Italian dishes — rather than a generic menu designed to please everyone equally. Its location on Paved Court means it is central without being hectic, and the split lunch and evening hours across five days, with a longer Saturday lunch and a relaxed Sunday afternoon service, give considerable flexibility. Nearly 750 reviews averaging 4.5 stars suggest consistent quality over time, which is the kind of reassurance that matters most when choosing somewhere to mark an occasion or simply enjoy a good meal.
