We had a superb brunch on Saturday morning. Not too busy so we stayed for 3 hrs. Special birthday treat from the kitchen. Appropriately attentive staff. Friendly. Great to have the kitchen open. Loved it! Definitely go I’m back again.

Excellent food and great service at this classy local restaurant. Everything I have tasted here is excellent. The cuisine is Italian and made with quality ingredients. There are set menu options with 2 courses or 3 courses, and are great value. The friendly staff Luciano and Neil (host) made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner!

Estábamos buscando un lugar relajado pero especial para nuestra comida de aniversario y un buen amigo nos recomendó Café Murano. Me alegro de que lo hicieran. Elegimos el restaurante Bermondsey para la zona y la ubicación a poca distancia de nuestro hotel. Todo sobre Café Murano hizo nuestra noche especial: el servicio era genial, amable y sin pretensiones; la comida excelente (incluyendo opciones vegetarianas / veganas) , el ambiente de nuestro entorno era el lugar. Te darías cuenta si alguna de estas cosas estaba apagada, pero juntas, se combinaron para hacer una noche memorable. Gracias a Matthew y equipo que nos hizo sentir bienvenidos frente a la casa, y a Mikhail (creo) dirigiendo la cocina. Espero volver pronto.

Rude, rude and rude. Just under £500 for 6 people and a waiter that was just rude is not a place I would recommend. Furthermore even though the manager knew that there were issues he still asked about paying the service charge. I'm not expecting a waiter to be all over a customer, but a little politeness and acknowledging you when you ask them for things (and when you are saying please and thank you) is not much to ask. But when the waiter treats you like you are an inconvenience then I we would not go back.

I'm gutted. When it first opened it was good, not great but good. As with all AH restaurants the warmth made up for this and you had a great night regardless. Having gone back last night in over a year it was so sad. The cooking is not great. In fact it's poor. As is the service. These are tough times for restaurants and I take no pleasure in leaving a negative review. But right now this is a shadow of its former self.

Really, really poor and disappointing experience as we were a table of 13 who had been promised the pre theatre menu by direct contact with the manager only to be told when we arrived that the pre theatre menu was no longer available. Manager being conveniently absent that day and were told there was nothing to be done so had to take the a la carte menu which was much more expensive. As we were such a big group we would have struggled to get a table on a Saturday elsewhere so had no choice but to stay. Would never go back because of that on top of which service was very poor and apart from the pasta, food very mediocre for the price. VERY, VERY shoddy practice

A lovely restaurant with a bright airy feel, liked the open kitchen and relaxed vibe. We enjoyed our meal and waiting staff were initially attentive and informative. Despite food being very good, no one checked in on us during the service which seems unusual- we may have stayed for coffee or a digestif had it been offered. As we left, no one checked on us- it wasn’t particularly busy. We will most probably come back but hope our observations help you improve service.

A very good restaurant indeed. Like many it has a bit of a modern industrial decor which I found didn't suit the friendly service and Italian comfort food on offer. The Arancini were a very welcome and tasty starter and the quality of the ingredients was high in all courses. There was plenty to choose from on the menu, I enjoyed the risotto and followed it with Panna Cotta. The wine list provides a choice at various price points, too. Service was attentive but not intrusive, just right.

We ended up here by chance and were rather shocked at how much they were charging for such small portions.

Ordered Pesto linguine that tasted nice - pasta texture was on point not over or under and the flavour OK but nothing to write home about. We shared an antipasti/ salad (courgette one) the cooked courgette texture was slightly soggy but the fresh ones were well flavoured. The waiter was friendly but drinks didn't come till after the mains were served. (Think more a reflection of how quick the food was served as opposed to how slow the drinks were) Not clearly labelled vege but vege options available

Loved the big airy room and the large windows where we ate facing outwards watching the world go by. It was a wedding anniversary and I had paid in advance for a small cake (pushed the price up per head slightly) - they knew and treated so well on arrival. The cake I ordered was huge! Took most of it home but it was delicous. The pasta was perfectly cooked. I'll be back!

Objective quality is only 3/5... The spaghetti putanesca was quite good but can't compare to Flour and Grape. The veal main was so so. Small and slightly overcooked. The dessert vanilla pastry was excellent. 30 pounds for 3 course is decent value 13.5% service charge is excessive. Why is there percentage inflation.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Murano, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience that definitely deserves a 5-star rating! From the moment I entered, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a lovely evening. The menu featured a wonderful selection of dishes, and I was particularly taken by the seasonal offerings. What truly stood out was the outstanding service. Matt was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the meal. He provided thoughtful recommendations and ensured that everything was just right, making the experience feel special and personalized. As for the food, it was absolutely delightful. Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavour, leaving a lasting impression. Overall, Cafe Murano exceeded my expectations in every way. With a fantastic menu, a welcoming ambiance, and excellent service, I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend checking this place out for a memorable dining experience!

This visit was decidedly average. The arancini starter was nice. However the roast potatoes were swimming in fat and were obviously heated up. None of the fluff we were expecting. They were like little bullets in fat. My porchetta was only warm and the herbs one normally finds rolled up with the meat was slapped on top. The slice of roast fennel on the plate i felt was not sufficient to be classed as 'vegetables'. This plate of food was disappointing.

My husband booked this lunch date for us as Cafe Murano popped up on his social media feed. We've usually gone to the St James branch. Sat at the bar counter so we could watch a lot of the food prep, cooking and delivery to customers. Opted for 3-course lunch menu, a bargain at £30. Food was great as expected, service was excellent as appreciated. Jasim was our server extraordinaire and other staff member engaged with us as well, ensuring we were well taken care of. Really couldn't have asked for a nicer time. Strongly recommended.

Arrived as a walk in and was given a small round table in the back of the restaurant. Orders for drinks and food were taken quickly and quickly arrived at our table. We shared the red pepper starter, it was as ok but nothing special. It was quickly cleared away and the mains arrived but we thought they had served us the starter version. I questioned the portion size of the spinach tortelli and was amazed that it was the main size. A tiny amount of pasta chucked on a little flat plate, terrible presentation and the same with the other pasta meal, sausage rigatoni. I have never in all my life eaten such poor quality/portion/ presentation in a restaurant of this supposed quality. The server tried to take my drink away before I had fully finished, we felt like we were rushed. I ordered a glass of house red wine but there wasn’t any left surprisingly so was upgraded to the next wine. The server could sense our disappointment and disappeared and so was presented with the dessert menu by others. The next server hovered and asked what we wanted before having a chance to even look at the menu. We decided the experience was so bad as not to even bother ordering a dessert even though we were both still hungry. In short paid nearly £25 for a plate of pasta that would not look out of place in a school dining room. Bland quality of food served with a splash of arrogance and wasn’t even thanked or acknowledged by the manager when leaving . It came across to us that we were tourists and they couldn’t care less if we came back or not. My local Italian restaurant would blow this place out of the water for food and hospitality. It’s just printing money on the back of a tv chef who I can only think she as bought the Michelin star award herself because never in a million years is this a Michelin star experience, just awful.

This was my second time here for lunch. On the previous occasion (pre COVID) I rated it very highly indeed. This time, although the service and atmosphere were as good as before, I felt let down by the food itself, starter ok, main course tiny portions (it was pasta!) and dessert, a tart, with overcooked pastry. This combined with a visit for dinner to a sister restaurant on St James Street (complaints were made at the time) has led me to the sad conclusion that I won't be eating in a Murano's again.

Nothing disappointed, fabulous Italian dining and full flavours. It was lovely to sit in the front of this busy restaurant on a hot summer evening with the world wandering by. Our Sardinian waitress Alex was so lovely to us and really knowledgeable on everything available. We were greeted and seated by a very lovely gentleman, who wished us a happy anniversary. That’s exactly what it was, better than we could have hoped for and we’d return in a heartbeat. Thank you Murano

Visited this restaurant..the Southwark one ! On entering promised so much but sadly was lacking in many areas the restaurant is nicely decorated and has a huge open kitchen area was quite busy as lunch service just picking up .had lovely table and were looking forward to a lovely lunch ,ordered focaccia to share to start which just came up with a small pot of olive oil ??? Asked the waiter who was smashing by the way if we could have some balsamic vinegar to mix with oil and was told " sorry we have ran out of balsamic vinegar " ??? Really I mean can a restaurant serving Italian food have NO balsamic?!! Anyway the men in our group had the spicy sausage starter which looked hideous with 3 huge sausages plonked on the lentils ...very odd no presentation whatsoever and I had fancy tomatoes on sourdough which were crying out for some balsamic !!!!! Our mains also were really lacking the rabbit pasta had no rabbit and my spinach and ricotta tortelli had no ricotta !!! Just full of spinach ..also mine flooded in sauce and my friends dry ! Dessert was a letdown too a piece of over expensive dry chocolate cake and a meagre portion of cream to try to digest it with ..wine was lovely though and service great .just when we thought oh ok chef having a bad day the meet n greet guy at front walked past holding aloft a huge dog water bowl followed by a couple and a bloody huge dog !!! Really can this be happening ? A renowned chefs restaurant allowing dogs in for god's sake ! We love dogs but this hideous culture of allowing them everywhere surely has to go out of fashion soon .please .also our bill had 2 dishes we had not ordered !! Sadly would not visit again .

For the price and the Angela Hartnett name, I was expecting so much more. Really poor vegetarian options, don't even think about coming here if you're vegan. All the food was really mediocre. I had the spinach and ricotta stuffed pasta, which came in a brown butter sauce that really did not taste good. I had to ask for olive oil to cover the taste. The broccoli was watery, i make it better myself at home. The bread was nice. Will never come here again. £25 for a pasta dish - with no meat? Better off going Franco Manca up the road and having a nice pizza

We went for brunch however I do not recommend the banana pancakes - we expected them to be pancakes made using bananas, instead we got 2 very flat flavourless pancakes with a few slices of banana on top and a small drizzle of maple syrup. This was I believe the only vegan option on the menu too (we aren’t vegan and only realised the pancakes were after - alas that is no excuse). We ended up ordering an additional dish to share (sausage and lentils - which was nice, lentils were a bit watery) as we were still hungry. Service was good and they were helpful when we noticed something wrong with the bill but I don’t think we will go back for brunch in a hurry.

The restaurant ambience and staff were at a high level, however the quality and quantity did not match. The braided rabbit pappardelle and spinach & ricotta tortelli were really bland and watery, plus the large portion 8/ not filling enough without starter or secondi. The antipasti and sausage ragu rigatoni were much better. Also one of our party was vegan and they only have one vegan option for main (salad) and dessert (sorbet).

I didn't enjoy the restaurant; the website and the ambience of the restaurant is actually flashier than than the food. I had the rabbit pappardelle to start which was quite good, no complaints at all. The main I ordered was the gurnard in a spicy chickpea stew: this was no better than an average canteen, but please allow me to explain. First, what came were not chickpeas, but white cannellini beans. This is fine in theory, but I would have like to have been told that this was a substitution as I ordered as I might have changed my choice (I was inspired by the Ligurian concept of a fish like a gurnard or red mullet with chickpeas, but it was not to be). Second, the fish itself was tough, and not because gurnard is firm-fleshed, but it was overcooked, off-the-bone, and not scaled properly, hence amateur. Maybe I should have known better and just not order unpopular fish in London ever, but it was £28....

What a disappointment… I think this place rely on the image of the owner and the location to get customers, would be curious to know how many return. The food quality is shocking not even talking about the price tag… We ordered the seafood pasta and the beef shin pasta. Both plates of food weren’t seasoned and tasteless… one was overcooked and the other rock hard. The beef had big chunks of fat and I am suspicious that the seafood was frozen. They did offer to replace the rock hard pasta tbf (20min after we started and were basically ready to go at that point) and brought us a plate of tiramisu (which was ok!) when we declined. Tbh at this point we just wanted to leave and didn’t want another plate, it was just not good…

Excellent service from the minute one arrives. The decor is top notch and the staff uniforms are crisp, clean and elegant. The menu is tight without numerous options and reasonably priced given the location. The actual food, however leaves much to be desired. Having ordered banana pancakes with maple syrup, bacon and a bloody mary, I was left disappointed. The bacon was top notch and cooked perfectly, but the pancakes were not made with bananas (only sliced on top) and were flat and dry. I am not sure they out more that a spritz of maple syrup on them. The bloody mary was dull and had little to no alcohol, no horseradish and sour tomato juice.

Great restaurant. We had the roast lamb which was delicious. You get alot of food for your money too whilst it's still of a very high quality. Would definately visit again.

I was at Cafe Murano for one of their book club evenings, arranged as a marvellous surprise by my daughter. Bee Wilson was talking about her book, The Secret of Cooking, and the chefs prepared some of the recipes from it for us to enjoy. A wonderful, warm and lovely evening which was a real pleasure. Angela Hartnett was also in the kitchen which made it even more special.

A Bermondsey gem. Often crowded- for a reason. Great place to share a few pastas but also don’t skip the chicken Milanese.

The service was impeccable and so attentive, sadly the food was startlingly bland, dull and vastly overpriced. A chicken escalope at £25 was simply nowhere near worth that ridiculous price.. The place itself felt like a sterile hotel lobby. They're going to have to try harder to get any return custom or last. I'll give it one year.

Our second visit and this time not so good. Still great fun and good food, but with different service that seemed rushed and clumsy (lots of wine spillage etc) and lacking in personality and food that was just not as well presented (Hake undercooked and watery). And an uncontrolled dog (and we are dog friendly). Still great, but perhaps depends on the night.

This is a truly wonderful restaurant. We had a spectacular four course meal for lunch. All of the ingredients sung off the plate, the cooking was phenomenal and you get to watch the kitchen the entire time. The wine was delicious and complimented everything beautifully. I’ve been to some single star Michelin restaurants which have faired worse than this. My husband raved about the tortellini and the veal was melt-in-the-mouth delicious. But the very best thing about this place was the service. It was faultless. Giuseppe (from the Mayfair branch) was a wonderful waiter who was fun, happy, made excellent recommendations on food and wine and made the whole meal a complete joy. The rest of the staff were also attentive and kind but you need to give this guy a pay rise.

Lovely staff but sadly let down by the food - over cooked chicken - they were apologetic. And therefore feels over priced in relation to the quality of food.

RACIST RESTAURANT. Me and my friends went into the place for walk in as half of the tables are emptied. The waiter told us that the restaurant is full until the end of night with a weird smirk. Later on we checked online that there are so many booking vacancies on the same day, at the same time.

Called into Cafe Murano for a Saturday lunchtime meal with my wife, my nephew and his wife plus their dog, Dottie - a dog friendly place was a prerequisite. The restaurant is located in Bermondsey Street, only a short walk from London Bridge station. The street was buzzing with shops, cafes, art galleries and restaurants. We were shown to one of their booths. ordered drinks and Dottie was offered a bowl of water too. The only slight negative was that there was no alcohol free beer or lager despite it being dry-January - there were some alternative “mock tail” type drinks but we opted for Coke. The meals were excellent - between us we choose Tagliatelle with braised beef shin, two portions of Lamb shoulder stew with tarragon dumplings and one portion of rigatoni carbonara plus a starter portion of this dish too and a side of roast potatoes. All the meals were excellent. We had two desserts: one portion of apple strudel and vanilla cream and one of Beenleigh blue cheese, fig chutney and fennel biscuits. The pastry on the strudel was divine, as was the apple filling as were the fennel biscuits. All in all it was a very enjoyable meal. The bill for four came to £152 which included an £18 service charge. Definitely worth a visit.

Lively and busy restaurant with a Tiramisu that I highly recommend. The service is friendly thanks for having us. Recommend booking in the evenings for sure as it gets busy promptly for rush hour. In summer it's a nice spot as the front opens up with it's big glass panels. The restaurant is really sleek.

Absolutely great from start to finish. Friendly service, excellent food and a fun venue. And it is even dog friendly ! We had sea bream crudo, roast pumpkin and beetroot salad, beef tagliatelle, and perhaps the highlight, hake with lentils and black truffle. Order the arancini with a cocktail to start and you will not be disappointed. Book ahead if you can.

NYE lunch here was very celebratory and enjoyable. Ambience was very cheery and the service we received was outstanding by Diana who by the end of our meal was more like a friend! We felt very welcome. The menu read very well. The pork Sunday roast with roasted potatoes, kale, buttered roasted carrots and a scrumptious apple date sauce hit the “spot”. I would’ve preferred the pork slices to be a wee bit more moist/juicy but the crispy snappy crackling made up for it. We’d also ordered chicken Milanese which was as expected - good. The baby rocket with Parmesan that covered the breadcrumbed chicken escalope was even better. I’d recommend the appetisers/starters - burrata slathered in olive oil with artichoke purée and the small antipasti plate was perfectly curated. The servings were beautifully laid out in each plate and that matters as the eyes then the nose and lastly the mouth “eats” so full marks there. Not as criticism but a suggestion: bread and extra virgin olive oil needs to be on the table complimentary for such an accomplished restaurant. We’ve already planned another visit and couldn’t recommend it more to everyone we meet. Ask for Diana please as she made our entire meal and time there festive, special and super personalised. Mwah!

Really disappointing experience overall. Our server didn't even seat us, just gave us menus and pointed to a table and barely said a word the whole duration of our visit. Never came back to check in on us once and he seemed very disinterested. Food wise, my partners pizza arrived and was more akin to a dried cracker, very tough and very brittle. Having visited previously and had similar issues we hoped these might have been resolved but they were not. Lovely decor and location but that is all the redeeming qualities.

Wanted an omelette as menu on window showed it but did not show any time restrictions you could order it once inside was told they didn't do omelette in the afternoon? Asked for jacket potato with beans then instead..jacket potato was on the menu but they did not do it beans..really with a jacket potato? Asked then for poached eggs on bun with ham with no seasonings or any topping..just plain and also ordered a beef pattie as they explained it on the menu..in other words a burger..the eggs came up with a sauce all over them which I sent back expressing we had said we wanted it plain..the burger then arrived and I cut it in half in the bun..just as well I did it was not cooked inside so I sent it back they then cooked me another burger that was over cooked and was like a piece of shoe leather..( I have to ask how hard is it to cook a burger!..I have a cafe myself in Kent and must cook 150 burgers a week..90% steak burgers) I have to say I was on the verge of walking out the food was awful 💩💩 by the time mine was re served which half of it i left..my partner had already finished his food..the male waiter that originally took our order appeared very glum and looked like he didn't really want yo be there..and lacked a personalty..so burger and frozen potato wedges..2 eggs on a bun with ham..1 glass of wine and a apple juice came to £48!! I think it's probably the worse meal I have had in years! I'd of had a better experience at McDonald's and wish I had of gone there instead!
