All In London Review
Something for everyone...
Starters are fresh and tasty. Favourites include mozzarella, tomatoes and avocado salad (£4.95), antipasto misto (£5.95), goats cheese crostini (£4.65), tomato bruschetta (£4.35) and rocket salad (£4.65).
Main courses are from a comprehensive selection of salads, pasta, pizzas and risotto. My son adores the chicken sofia pizza (£8.45) and my daughter always has lasagne (which they are happy to put on a cold plate for kids - £8.50). Garfield girl!
My personal favourite has to be the piccante calzone (£8.95). Calzone is a folded over pizza – so it looks a bit like a big pasty. It comes with a salad garnish so you might want to think about a side salad if you have no starter. And piccante has a spicy kick to its moist, meaty contents. My vegetarian friends like the salmon calzone (£9.25) a lot too. I am also rather partial to spaghetti polpette (£8.50) which are classic Italian meatballs. But take care with the sauce splashes on your clothes.
It’s tasty, plentiful food in a pleasant and relaxed environment. The Richmond branch has really nice stacked wood décor and the Twickenham branch has a light, airy feel about the place – European and modern but still warm and inviting. A reliable choice that has something to offer everyone. Gets my vote.

Went with a party of 9 on a Saturday lunchtime. Did have to wait just a couple of minutes whilst a table was free but that was fine. Food was very tasty but partners pizza had minimal topping and the pizza base was too crispy but he said it was tasty. Everyone else said they enjoyed their food (plates were all clean anyway!) Waitress brought everyone elses drink except mine so had to ask for it. (Genuine mistake I assumed.) I did think that the waitress seemed a bit short at times though not rude. Main meals were about £7-8 I think so was OK. Wouldn't mind going again but might avoid the pizza.
