Debraggio — Restaurant in London

After coming here almost every week, I feel like I need to finally write a review! This is my favourite Italian corner in Richmond: the place to go for a quick stroll into Italy. The restaurant/deli is owned by a lovely couple, Debora and George - super friendly people always up for a chat (a little or a big chat, depends how busy it is…). The place is full of regulars, they know everyone by name, just like in Italy!! Fantastic pasta (and lasagne, almost every time, yum! 😋). You can eat it inside on the few tables there, or takeaway. You can mix up 2 different dishes on one plate: recommended! My favourites are definitely: ragu’ caserecce and the amatriciana (if you come early enough to get some of it…). They have fresh pasta sauces and many fresh Italian produce too (the cherry tomatoes 🍅 always look so tempting…). The prices are Richmond prices, but for the friendly service and the quality of the food, it’s absolutely worth it! Well done,...

Debraggio's has to be one of the best local restaurants I have had the good fortune to find in my life.

I have long been part of the furniture and that is because of the wonderful formula that George and Deborah, his charming wife, have cultivated over the years. Morning latte ? Excellent. Variety of pastas in intriguing and authentic sauces expertly prepared by La Padrone ? To die for. Ciabattas for hungry local office workers who arrive for their daily fix ? Queues round the block. A friend describes it as my club, and indeed everyone who goes there regularly stands a good chance of becoming part of the family. I would be very happy to die there, a smile on my lips, my head face down in a plate of Deborah's pasta. Need I say more ?...

This small, unassuming eatery looks to be a lunchtime pasta deli for takeout food, but actually has an upstairs restaurant with waitress service. The food is truly excellent, a wide range of homemade pasta dishes including spicy meatballs and squid ink pasta. Prices are reasonable and the service is superb. They will soon be renaming from Guiliano's to Debraggios but whatever the name, this place is highly recommended if you're looking for tasty italian food made fresh every day.

Two tips to note: They add Parmesan by default, so if you don't like cheese on your food - let them know when you order. Secondly, it can get very busy at lunchtime so arrive before the noon rush if you really want a...
