Picasso - BROMLEY

My book club recently met at adesso, a Sicilian restaurant on Hill Rise in Richmond. Unfortunately, I couldn't join for that meal, but I recommended the place to my friend Liz last night. The reviews from the book club were mixed, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but Liz was willing to give it a try, so we did.

This restaurant offers a wide selection of Italian dishes and drinks. The olive, linguine, and parmigiana dishes are all highly recommended. Be sure to try the Sicilian splashes as well. The menu is frequently changing, so there's always something new to try. The restaurant can get quite busy, so it's best to make a reservation in advance.

This charming little restaurant offers creative Italian cuisine in a lovely and intimate setting. During the summer, they have outdoor seating available for a delightful dining experience. The staff is friendly, and their vegetarian options are both authentic and delicious.

Brilliant. Food is really delicious, staff were really sweet and smiley and there was even a chap singing and playing the guitar. We sat outside and enjoyed a fab mixed starter packed with loads of delicious stuff (including HUGE) prawns and a fine aubergine thing). We had mushroom truffle pasta and a crackin prawn, chilli, crab pasta.the waitress seemed well chuffed that she was presenting such amazing food to us. I cant explain how much i enjoyed my meal here. We are going to sicilly later this year, i just hope the food there lives up to this place

Sunday evening is a bit of a graveyard shift, but we were passing thru Richmond and had previously spotted Adesso, so gave them a go. We shared 4 starters and a rocket salad between 2, and while it didn't allow them to put on Their best game of pasta, pizza and grilled meat/fish, it shouldn't have been an excuse for limp rocket garnishes, lashings of the same thick balsamic dressing on everything and hot grilled goat's cheese on cold roast veg (this might be the Sicilian style for all I know, but it wasn't very nice). With so many Italians to choose from, for us this won't be worth a second try.
