Bacco Ristorante Italiano

Richmond's riverside charm finds its perfect match in this no-nonsense Italian spot on Kew Road. You're walking into something that feels genuinely lived-in rather than designed—exposed brick, warm lighting, the kind of place where regulars know the staff by name. The kitchen takes itself seriously without any pretension; they're doing the classics properly—handmade pasta, risottos cooked to that perfect creamy finish, seafood that's clearly sourced with actual care. It's the sort of neighbourhood restaurant you'd hope to find near your house, the one you keep going back to because everything works.
