About 14 Bridge

At 14 Bridge, home-style Italian cooking meets old-school hospitality where owner Maria treats every table like family. No corporate scripts here—just generous bowls of soft gnocchi in rich tomato sauce, fettuccine ai funghi, and crisp Calabrese pizzas pulled straight from the oven. Longtime patrons drop by for the hearty $15 lunch specials or duck in before the footy for a quick bite. Even when you arrive on the cusp of closing, the kitchen seats you with a glass of house wine and makes you feel right at home.

  • Personal hospitality: Owner Maria regularly works the floor, tailors plates to taste, and welcomes late arrivals past last orders.
  • Weekday lunch specials: Hearty midday meals with soft drinks included offer genuine value in Richmond.
  • Pre-event dinner spot: A relaxed Bridge Road stop for pizza and pasta before sporting matches or visits to Epworth Hospital.
