Restaurant description
A Cena has been serving authentic Italian food on the banks of the River Thames since 2001. Set in a warm, friendly, elegant and relaxed atmosphere, the menu changes regularly to adapt to the seasons and ensure only the freshest ingredients go into the dishes.
Begin with the likes of smoky aubergine and potato croquettes with Parmesan and aioli, fried tiger prawns and chili mayonnaise, or one of many tempting fish, meat and vegetable antipasti. Sample main dishes on the A Cena menu include grilled Scottish ribeye steak with rocket, lemon and patatine fritte, or pan-fried marinated hake fillet with capers, white wine, butter, lemon and green beans.
The dessert menu at A Cena restaurant features Florentine donuts with strawberry sauce, salted caramel ripple ice cream, and hazelnut praline with chocolate ice cream. The wine list offers a lengthy selection of Italian bottles, whilst the cocktail menu is equally expansive, and includes the signature A Cena cocktail: vodka, triple sec, orange juice, cranberry juice and fresh lime.
Next to Richmond Bridge, A Cena Richmond is a 10-minute walk from St Margarets Train Station.

We have been for dinner several times recently - and yesterday fort lunch. Just brilliant every time - the food, the drinks, the service, the ambience are all great. What would the world be without Marmalade Martinis? Can't wait to go back once lock-down lifts.

Lovely food as always. We started with zucchini fritti and whitebait and then had branzino (sea bass) and chicken for our main courses, accompanied by a bottle of Pecorino. Staff were friendly and helpful on a busy evening.

Amazing food and lovely staff will definitely be back post lockdown! Only slight disappointment was no gluten free pasta, which many of the other Italians provide. However the food I did have was really lovely

Very nice couple of hours there last night. The food is excellent, not a large choice but what we had was very tasty . Very welcoming staff too. A bit pricey but it's probably inevitable if you want quality and a quiet environment.

We had an excellent, early (18.30), good value, set menu dinner. Whitebait followed by the sea bass and peppers and capers followed by the beef ragu pappardelle. Service was just right too. It wasn’t very full at that time and the Covid restrictions impact the look and feel of the place. We’ll be back and have already recommended it to friends.
