CAFFE AL FRESCO

Caffe Al Fresco is that cozy spot you swing by when you're not in a rush but still want to enjoy a decent meal. It’s got the whole relaxed vibe, where you can sip a glass of red and nibble on snacks without feeling like you've got to dress up for a Michelin star dinner. The cappuccino and cherry almond cake combo seems to be a crowd-pleaser, but be warned, service can sometimes feel like a leisurely stroll rather than a sprint.

On the flip side, some orders can go a bit haywire, like getting a bolognese when you explicitly wanted a Vongole. A bit of a hiccup, but hey, at least the food tastes decent when they do get it right. If you're in the Richmond area and fancy a chilled-out meal, this place won’t ruin your day, but don't expect fireworks either.
