   Lovely venue with plenty of space and hooray not hustled by staff to drink more or to leave. Great choice of food on the set lunch - delicious gnocchi in particular

   Having previously hosted a work event at cafe Murano with great food and experiences I booked again, the place and staff are fantastic but the two pasta options that were vegetarian were both very average and totally overpriced.

   Nice meal but the food became cold quickly partly due to over active air conditioning.

   Had a very tasty dinnner, food was delicious but thought the Italian sausage in the rigatoni could have had a bit more of a quick, but purely personal choice!

   Great food but service was slow. Starters followed bread very quickly but mains took a long time - 2 hours for 2 courses.

   As good as I hoped. We shared three starters of which the broad beans, ricotta and lemon was the stand-out (a lovely whipped mousse!), then I had the amazing gnocchi with girolles and my partner had the crab spaghetti. We finished with chocolate tart and apricots with ricotta. Simple straightforward, beautifully executed. Staff were knowledgeable (one was able to tell me the ingredients in the salad dressing without checking in the kitchen). I found the music a bit intrusive and the furnishings did nothing to absorb general noise so not quite five stars.

    I absolutely loved the service, location, restaurant design. I opted to try the very reasonable set menu but was a little disappointed with the main on the flavours, just a little bland. However I would return I just wouldn't order that dish and go for something bolder.

    The restaurant was really dated, very old fashioned, the place was barely half full, the menu was completely outdated, there was weird pop music playing out it the speakers which seemed completely out of place in a fine dining Italian restaurant. The starters were decent but the pasta mains were very average, remember you are competing with old school heavyweights like Bocca di Lupo or River cafe and new stars such as Padella or Bancone. They need to up their pasta game.. the staff really seemed to care and service was busy but attentive. They were the only bright spot in an otherwise dull and average meal

    Food was lovely, waitress was extremely curt borderline rude. Asked us if we wanted desert 30 minutes before they needed the table back and then promptly told us we would need to rush desert as we only had 30 minutes! Go for the food and wine, but not the service!

    It was not a busy Saturday night on 14/3/2020 We were seated in the very rear of the room Given menus promptly Then took ages to get a waiters attention to order anything. It really want that busy but the service was lacking,so for example after our main course took 5 mins for them to clear our plates and after our meal, no one seemed interested in asking us if we wanted the bill. So I asked for the bill on my way down to the WC, when I came back it still hadn’t appeared , so I asked the same waitress again and she intimated that’s she’d asked a colleague to get it. Sorry that this review isn’t about the food, which was tasty and they also had inexpensive wines by the glass However as an evening of enjoyment , it was not. I don’t go out for the evening with the intention of complaining. I’ve eaten in the St James’ branch, which was much better. Won’t be rushing back here.

    The waiter was unwell (coughing and sniffling) and when asked politely to not stand as close to the customers got very rude and brought govt advice on covid-19 !yelling! at the customers that the restaurant is safe (and still refusing to step away) - no matter what cold/sickness he had she shouldn’t have been serving food when sick! Incredibly rude service, very average food. Do not go.

    I loved this restaurant, which manages to combine luxury and approachability. The staff are warm and welcoming. Our food took a little while to arrive, but when it did it was outstandingly good. And their espressos are the best. Highly recommended.

    Amazing staff, I had booked the cafe thinking it would be as it was the first time I visited and it was much more lively than than I'd expected. The staff bent over backwards to make it the best experience and we, (mum, and Italian cousins) had a great evening.

    When I order dinner I expect that... a dinner. I ordered the pork belly (which did taste amazing), but when asked what it came with I was told nothing so I ordered new potatoes and cavolo nero as additional dishes. Had I not asked, I would have been very disappointed. The food was tasty, the service was good but overall I was just left a feeling flat with the experience. I expected more...

    Loved the food and the staff were very efficient and professional. I would also say that the portions were just right allowing us to enjoy a dessert. The only downside was that the noise level was a bit high for comfort but that is so often the case with an open dining area. Overall we’d love to return.

    The service was good, the pasta didn’t have enough sauce and the trout meal was rather greasy. The seating was good. Hard to tell that it was an Italian restaurant from the decor, it could have been any restaurant

    A pleasant restaurant, nicely designed with plenty of space between tables. Food was not terrific, with the day special of Tuscan Fish Stew being rather thin and tasteless, with a distinct absence of fish. My wife's pasta was a good serving, but a bit sticky and starchy. The semi freddo desert was delicious, however. Service was very pleasant and professional. I would give it another try and see if the food was better.
