La Piazza, Italian Restaurant in Twickenham

A cosy, family-run Italian restaurant on Richmond Road, Twickenham.
Everything cooked fresh, from scratch, just for you.

Open every evening from 5pm

Our kitchen

Cooked the way you'd cook for family

For 38 years, Rubik has run this kitchen on Richmond Road, and he still cooks every dish the way he would for his own family.

Some of our longest-standing regulars still remember the place by its old name, Rubik's. The name over the door has changed since then; the chef hasn't.

Nothing here is frozen and nothing is ready-made. Every plate is cooked to order, in its own pan, from fresh ingredients. That's why so many of our guests have been coming back for decades.

It also means the menu is only a starting point. Fancy it without meat, a little spicier, or something that isn't on the menu at all? Just ask. If we have the ingredients, we'll make it for you.

  • 38 years on Richmond Road
  • 0 frozen or ready-made food
  • 1 pan for every plate
