We were a little apprehensive as we were very surprised to get a table at such short notice (we had only booked a few days before our 1pm lunch booking ) everywhere else in Richmond and Twickenham were booked solid because of the rugby world cup match which we were also attending. While the staff that served us were very nice and friendly the food was a big let down, poor quality, tasteless and bland. My mozzarella salad was the only dish out of four that was okay but even that had far too much balsamic vinegar on it for my taste. Authentic Italian it is not. Such a shame as it situated in a lovely part of Richmond.

Appears to have changed hands since my last visit. Parmigiana starter was good as was the tiramisu although squid did not have any sauce and the rabbit was dry, reheated and full of bones.

Oh dear. I don't know what's happened here. I chose Amadoro because I'd had some good meals there, and although the service has been very patchy, I hoped friends would find it quirky and better than a 'chain' restaurant. A lukewarm 'welcome', followed by fairly mediocre starters. And the pasta mains, served in sad little bowls, were pretty flavourless. The bread - well, we did laugh at the 5 little 'soldiers' [was that one slice of bread, we wondered], with some oil and vinegar. At £3.90? - oh come ON................. We had to listen to the only other customer haggling over the price of his lunch - and it seems he was probably right, as the website says £15.50 for a starter and pasta. Yet I see that we all paid around £25 a head! I know it's tough running a restaurant; you shouldn't do it unless you love food and like people. Amadoro seems unloved and is unlovable.

We haven't been to Amadora for a while and it was clear as soon as we arrived that it had changed hands. It was not as good, the charming warm welcome was gone, though we were greeted with friendliness. Food was quite good, but under-seasoned and the very small menu reduced by the unavailability of two main courses. We were disgusted to find that the service charge added to the bill is kept by the owners, we removed it as did the fellow diner who mentioned it to us on his way out. We are unlikely to return.

This restaurant is an acquired taste as not everyone will want to be in such cramped quarters. Notwithstanding, the food was good, well produced and seasoned and the service attentive. Wine list not particularly inspiring and pretty average but enough for a weekday supper. I hope they continue to make progress and the reviews follow suit.

We chose Amadora after positive online reviews, for lunch before heading to the rugby at Twickenham. It's a tiny restaurant, so not many covers, and it was full, but the staff were utterly overwhelmed. A gnocchi dish took 45 mins to materialise, and was mediocre at best. The view into the kitchen was one of in contained panic, and the two waiters sniped at each other constantly. Witnessed several other diners having to beg and plead to have their food served as they, too, had to make it to the rugby. To cap it off, on a hand scribbled bill we were presented with a 12.5% "Service Charge." Ha! Had we by then not been SO late, we would have asked them to take it off (only 2 covers), but we didn't have another 45 mins to spare. Headache.

This is probably a good restaurant on a quite Tuesday but I think it was overwhelmed with the volume of custom bolstered by the rugby match at Twickenham. We waited over an hour and quarter for any food to turn up, drinks orders were slow and service was haphazard. The food was delicious when it turned up but the portions of gnocchi were too small. A real shame!

I'm not sure if this lovely gem of a restaurant has new owners but I have to say there was very little authenticity behind the whole meal. Whilst the portions were a good size the management were dis-organised and even though we had booked a special menu we turned up to find that this was their standard menu and our table was not yet prepared (we were seated at the bottom of the stairs and my view was into the kitchen). It was Mothers Day when we dined and I was quite embarrassed to have taken my mum there. The food was just OK and the ingredients looked like low quality. To top it all off the restaurant charged my credit card incorrectly.

We waited over an hour for our starter only to be told they had lost our order. The staff were very apologetic and did not charge for the wine. They also offered a free dessert which we declined but they did give us 3 glasses of Prosecco. Together with the TT offer (50% off food) we only spent £16 on a 2 course meal for 3 people. Food was average and service a bit haphazard. I overheard diners requesting basic essentials, cutlery, condiments, menus and we repeatedly asked for something to even out the wonky table. We ordered bruschetta which was 3 enormous slices of bread topped bland tomatoes. Spicy prawns with rice was also mediocre with small tasteless prawns. I am not sure it is somewhere I would rush back to.
