Dear Richmond,This little restaurant is pour love letter to food. It's our happy little place, where we get to live the the joy of feeding people everyday. We all grew up in spaces that equated food with love, just like this place. Everything we have done here is deliberate, from the art on the walls to the produce we use. We've made a point of sourcing ingredients from some of the best suppliers in the state, making sure that our menu reflects what's in season. For us, this place is about experience: we try our best to make you feel both at home and 'out for something special'. Every plate that comes back wiped clean by someone who just couldn't get enough is a 'the hard work is worth it' moment for us. Matty & Tee From Love Letter, with love. xx

    Everything is superb! You cannot make a wrong choice. Gluten free pizza and pasta were amazing - you can’t tell they’re GF. Even if you just had pizza here it’s not ‘just pizza’ - so many flavours, & fresh quality ingredients. Hand made pasta is exquisite. You want to try this. You HAVE to try it. Desserts are INSANE. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Pistachio gelato is To Die For! Great atmosphere- sit up the back where the floor is carpeted for less noise. Good for friend catch ups, family dinner, date night. Service is excellent. I’ve been 3 times in a month & have recommended this place to anyone who will listen.

    The food, the service, the ambience were all terrific. My one criticism was for the gin and tonic and vodka and tonic that we had to start. Neither of us could taste either alcohol and the tonic must have been from a gun as it had almost no fizz and tasted very flat. Disappointing in an otherwise terrific offering.

    Had the best time at Love Letter restaurant and bar! The super friendly and attentive team made me feel so welcome right from the start. The Splice cocktail is AHHH-mazing – legit tasted like the ice cream! I also had the 250g eye fillet and wedge salad with thick-cut bacon, and wow, it was absolutely delicious. Such a fantastic spot – can’t wait to go back!
