Established in 1967, Taberna Etrusca is an Italian restaurant in the classic trattoria style, with textured walls, tiled floor, open-beamed ceiling and an overall timeless quality. A pretty courtyard catches the sun during the Summer with tables highly sought after. The entire restaurant can be hired evenings and weekends and being so perfectly situated next to Bow Bells Churchyard, wedding receptions are naturally popular here throughout the year.

Do not recommend The food was stale and flavourless The prices shown on the menu are misleading as they’ve written a £5 surcharge is applicable if you decide to have it as a main, which wasn’t made clear We also weren’t asked if we wanted to make it a main Very very overpriced for the quality, which was not good at all The waiters were friendly at least It was also weirdly not busy, a big restaurant with maybe 4 tables filled Do not recommend at all

A bit of a touristy place, with nothing especially inviting or Italian about the menu other than the name of the dishes. The "carpaccio," for example, was cut a bit thick and was covered by tomato paste and some rucola but the combination was nothing exciting or tasty. Service was OK but the restaurant is a bit shabby. Finally the prices were way high for this restaurant

From the moment my girlfriend and I stepped into the restaurant. The atmosphere and service was incredible. Anyone would be silly to miss out on eating here. Feels like a little bit of Italy, right here in London! The food was incredible, with fantastic portions (neither of us could finish our pasta!). Thank you!

Overpriced! They added 12.5% service charge so a plate of pasta, chicken escalope, a bottle of water and pint of beer came to £77 !

Wonderful food, and a great atmosphere but a little bit cramped (we had five people on a table barely big enough for 4) and incredibly noisy. Admittedly, we did go at the height of lunch time but for a work/customer meeting, it was hard to hear each other speak.

Taberna Etrusca is a lovely, traditional Italian restaurant close to St Paul’s. Service is warm and friendly and the menu offers a good selection of tasty dishes. The wine list also has a fair selection of drinks to suit all pockets. Certainly to be recommended.

Having dined here many years ago, it's not lost any of its charm. If you are looking for an old school Italian restaurant in the city, with dishes cooked to order, served hot and with a smile, then this is the place for you. Portions are plentiful (I didn't have the veal chop but saw it on another diners plate and it was HUGE) and they serve pasta as either Primi or a main course (for an additional charge). We ordered far too much food and our server (Ricardo) was happy to cancel the additional course ahead of arrival with no fuss or bother. Highly recommend the vongole.
