Service at this restaurant was fantastic. Staff were very attentive.
We went with our 2yr old and they gave her a colouring in sheet and crayons to keep her occupied.
The food was delicious. We had 2 different pizzas and also a pasta. Serving sizes were good.
Will definately be going back when in Richmond again.

I went to 14 Bridge Rd Italian restaurant recently on a voucher deal. The restaurant itself is nice and open with a raised area up the back with lovely large windows and roadside seating out the front to take advantage of the warmer weather (when we have it!). The furnishings in the back/raised area badly need a makeover. The wooden chairs, once I am sure quite lovely and although still comfortable, are in really poor condition with the varnish in strips. I was embarrassed for the owners to see the chairs in such a poor state, it really says they don't care how their restaurant looks and makes me wonder what the kitchen is like if this is what they think is acceptable.

Onto the food....we had a three course meal and bottle of wine. Fantastic value through an Ouffer deal. The regular prices are reasonable as well.
The entree, a shared bruschetta of tomato, onion and basil was nice enough but somewhat lacklustre. The flavours were all there but more along the lines of a snack you'd whip up at home. The addition of some badly wilted lettuce didn't help things along. The dish was saved by a particularly good balsamic reduction.
For mains we had spinach & ricotta agnolotti with a pumpkin& sundried tomato creamy sauce. This dish was great! Nice fresh pasta made on the premises & the portion size was perfect - I often find meals too large when dining out and end up eating the whole thing anyway and feeling stuffed! My partner had a Calabrase pizza. He said it was good, not great but good. I spied pizzas on some other tables that looked a little more tempting, perhaps he lucked out with his choice, although it would be nice to have consistency between dishes.
Dessert! Well dessert was definitely the highlight. I had a trio of gelati, strawberry, lemon and chocolate. All were divine, particularly the berry. My partner had the chocolate croissant pudding. I was dubious of this dish when he ordered it, however, it was really good! Served with a warm chocolate sauce, mmm, need I say more!

Service was okay, there were a few times when I felt the staff could have been more attentive. All the staff were pleasant, particularly one waitress who really did improve the atmosphere of the place with her smile and happy attitude.

All in all a nice evening. The main letdown was the bruschetta with its wilted, mostly inedible, lettuce. If not for this the meal was nice, as expected from an Italian restaurant although nothing to rave about. Worth checking out if you live nearby or are looking at buying a voucher, which they often seem to have on the various deal websites.

Approximate cost: $16-24
