"I took 3 children aged 12 to this restaurant for lunch on New Years Eve. The restaurant and kitchen looked clean and inviting. The restaurant was quiet, probably due to the time of year and they had only recently opened. We were the only people in the restaurant The staff were really sweet and accomodating despite the fact that they were only 30 minutes from closing. We ordered calamari/bread and olives to share for the starter. I was expecting the slightly rubbery frozen calamari that is the fare of many small restaurants in the UK but was blown away by how fresh and delicious it was. I didn't get much as the children ate most of it and I wish I had ordered more. Unsuprisingly, all children ordered pizza for the main. The chef came to the table and asked if they would like to make their own pizza (not offered as an option usually but the place was quiet). The children went into the open kitchen and prepared the dough and fillings they loved the experience and the pizza was delicious. I ordered ragu pasta, which arrived in a smallish bowl. The pasta was al dente, the ragu sauce was slow cooked strips of beef rather than mince. The sauce was rich and prepared with care lush. I could only eat half the bowl as it was so filling. The wine list is good with reasonably priced glass options. We did not have desert as everyone was too full after the meal. This restaurant offers a little piece of Italy in Teddington. I don't expect that it will be quiet for much longer. I am sure in the near future it would be wise to book to avoid disappointment. I would highly recommend this restaurant."
