Murano

Our favourite London restaurant and no reason to chance our opinion, excellent service great food beautiful presented, staff are friendly yet efficient all in all a great experience

Great food, excellent helpful staff, good wine, atmosphere was ok but given it was just before Christmas a little Christmas cheer might have been appropriate.

This was the second time I have taken overseas guests to "Murano" and, as in the first instance, this was an unqualified success from the arrival to the departure with courteous, friendly and informative staff and excellent service and food.

Table located alongside the Waiter and Sommelier serving station. Wine list over priced and lacking range of reasonably priced options . “Wine by glass “ list 90+ % sourced from Italy.

Special occasion for my wife, and it was. Absolutely outstanding.
If I had a very minor criticism, the sommelier with the beard could smile more.
Also my wife was served up a new potato which was black around the edges,
just to let you know nobody is perfect.
Will definitely return, excellent.

Food, service, ambience, more than lived up to expectation on our first visit, will definitely return, well done to all the team who looked after us...

Beautiful restaurant and fine dining but also very warm and friendly. Extremely accommodating to our two month old baby.

The service was good except for when they put the food down when my friend was in the bathroom

Simply amazing! Great food, we had 5 courses menu and was one better then the other! Spot on service very professional !

A wonderful restaurant in a great location. Interesting and creative food and the staff are so friendly and attentive. I'll be back!

Fantastic, as always. Great food, lovely staff, perfect setting.

Lovely lunch with friends. Staff excellent. Rack of lamb dish absolutely beautiful.

Second time visitors. Front of House needs to ‘thaw out’ a little and display a more welcoming demeanour; food was good but not great (which is what you expect from AH - and what we had first time); service was rather rushed at the beginning but then back to the frequency you would expect towards the end of the meal.

Overall - nothing wrong, however, not enough right (to the standard of a Michelin star).

We had a lovely meal with friends at Murano. The food was delicious and the staff were lovely. One of us does not eat wheat and another is lactose intolerant and it wasn’t a big deal. The only thing I could criticise was that the wine, though delicious, was expensive. A few more bottles at under £50 would be great.

As we expected from previous experience, the outstanding culinary quality of Murano was matched by the friendliness, helpfulness and professional skill of the staff. The meal was, as before, outstanding in both design and execution; appealing in taste and appearance. The seasonal speciality of white truffle was very much appreciated, simply served with tagliatelle and butter. Our ensuing choices of monkfish and pork were both a delight; both being remarkable for the tastes and textures achieved. A superb dessert of Brillat-Savarin cheesecake was perfectly partnered by the suggested dessert wine. The sommelier proved extremely knowledgable and helpful at each stage, as indeed did all those who introduced and served the various courses. An additional plate of 'tarte tatin' designed to mark my wife's birthday was greatly appreciated, as were the various small tasters that preceded both the starting dish and the dessert course. The wine list was excellent in being both well selected and manageable in size. Seating was ideal, with tables of different size carefully distributed in such a way that we were closer to each other than to other diners; something that can not be said of several other of London's finest restaurants, for whom packing in the numbers is more important than the quality of the experience provided. Finally, though not the least consideration in recommending Murano, the costs are well judged and represent excellent value for money, for an overall experience that is flawless. Murano, for the work of its highly admired chef and her talented team, its waiting staff, its ambience, its decor and the obvious enjoyment of its customers, cannot be too highly recommended. May it continue, deservedly, to flourish!

Maybe a bit contentious here but my experience was not good. We chose the 10 year anniversary menu which sounded great but was decidedly average with, in my opinion, only two well presented and cooked dishes which were the Vitello Tonnato, and the Pumpkin Tortelli. The Braised Halibut was overly salted, almost to the point of being inedible and similarly so for the Venison. The Lemon Tart was so astringent it was not a pleasant experience and followed by a Pistachio Souffle which really had no taste whatsoever apart from egg and the chocolate sauce which lay in a pool at the bottom of the pot after pouring. The presentation of food was ok but nothing outstanding and finally the mark up on the wines is off the scale with my chosen wine of the evening being marked up by more than five times retail costs. Service was as you would expect from the Michelin star formulaic approach but unfortunately the food is not at the level you would expect and it was probably one of the poorest meals I have had in a restaurant that has a Michelin star.

Amazing! Simple food done with care and attention to detail, how this restaurant doesn’t have 2 Michelin stars is confusing. The service is also some of the best we have ever encountered friendly and professional. We will be regulars.

Very nice place for a special evening. Exzellent food , fresh ingrediences, very good service.

Fabulous restaurant with very tentative staff without being intrusive. Amazing food and a great round table in the window. Desserts were amazing.

Friendly staff. Fantastic set lunch. Very good value. Delicious food. Amazing theatre in view of the kitchen.

A wonderfully relaxed dining experience with first class service from beginning to end. Great flexibility with choice of menu, nothing was too much trouble.
Highly recommended

Outstanding !!! The food was so cleverly cooked all dishes were so delicious

Fantastic evening all round

Very disappointed.Not nearly so good as my last visit.

Very welcoming, great ambiance, excellent food. Staff are exceptional.

The restaurant seems to resting on its laurels and its Mayfair location. Whilst the standard of service is exceptional, the quality of food is average - and not what should be expected of a michelin star restaurant. Value for money is not good - and the wine list is quite frankly overpriced.

Beautiful venue, nicely spaced tables, exceptional food and service. Incredible wine list; whichever you choose, expensive or modest, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Will revisit.

Murano does simple yet modern Italian dishes to an exquisite standard, heroing top quality ingredients such as melt in the mouth Venison with beetroot and charred lettuce, pumpkin and amaretti ravioli with sage burnt butter sauce and a pistachio soufflé that was like eating a little fluffy cloud (all on the 10year anniversary 5 course menu at £80/head). The service was flawless and the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed; none of the stuffiness of some similar quality restaurants. The mainly Italian and French wine list is well selected and accessible. And it was great to be sat near the kitchen window to watch all the action. Will definitely be returning.

Great dinner at Murano. This restaurant never fails to deliver with great friendly service, fantastic food and superb attention to deal. We will be back.

excellent restaurant with quiet atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent wines

Such a wonderful meal! Food, wine, service, and staff were fantastic! Thank you for helping us have a special day x

I took my sister to celebrate her birthday after a very difficult time and I couldn’t have chosen anywhere better. The food was wonderful and the staff were amazing they went out of their way to make our lunch extra special. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first meal at Murano's celebrating our son's eighteenth birthday. The restaurant is elegant and understated, the staff unfailingly welcoming, attentive and unstuffy. We found the food to be outstanding in many areas-Carnaroli risotto, lamb loin and a delicious souffle were all highlights. Other aspects of the meal were less effective: the fish course was ungenerous in portion size and in terms of execution the monkfish proved tough, and the tortellini very thick. The venison loin with a side order of gnocchi and venison ragu was also a little unbalanced for our palates. Overall, we had a great time and we loved the fact that this was a restaurant where the excellent food seemed to encourage good company and conviviality. We will look forward to a return and again wish to thank the staff who we are credit to the outstanding Angela Hartnett and her partners, thank you.

Really enjoyed the set lunch menu, they brought out a slice of birthday cake which was super nice!

Great personable service. Wonderful food. A totally relaxed lunch.

First time I ever gave 5 stars for everything, that said it all.. have already made reservation for next visit!!

Very good food and service, the lunch price fix menu was reasonable.

I was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff. Service was efficient and attentive without being intrusive. The suggested wine to everyone's taste. Food excellent --but we expected that! Our table of five tried quite a variety of things for all three courses. Everything much enjoyed. Total success.

Delicious food, friendly and helpful service

beautiful decor and outstanding food - was blown away by the quality. lovely place to go if you want to be spoiled and enjoy a beautiful balance of flavours. there was an eccentric balance of patrons there which added to the interest. pricey but worth it.
