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 laving a negative review. But right now this is a shadow of its former self.

Very mean breakfast portions for the price and nothing outstanding on flavour. Good spot for a coffee shop though

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've had brunch here twice now and tbh it's overrated. £12 for a chicken milenese brioche bun not great. Very small sized Cappuccino without chocolate powder? Staff are attentive, decor pleasant, I can enjoy a permesan chicken in Gail's bakery for half the price and tastes better. May give it a miss next time. Thanks.

We ended up here by chance and were rather shocked at how much they were charging for such small portions. Waiter completely missed ordering for my daughter so ended up taking ours away again while they cooked hers. We had to ask what several items on the menu were since they used the Italian words to describe them. What is that about ?

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

I have eaten in some great places globally. Not all expensive however this place nailed all aspects of delivery - location/ambience, quality of food, service (super friendly staff). 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!

Llegué en una cálida tarde de domingo, y pidió la mesa que da a la calle con las ventanas abiertas. Lugar perfecto para la gente que mira. Un camarero encantador nos compró agua y nos aconsejó sobre nuestras opciones de vino. Excelente servicio , amable y servicial, pero no demasiado. Soy intolerante al gluten por lo que me ayudaron en mi elección, que terminó siendo salmón ahumado y huevos especiados. Tan delicioso 😀. El ambiente es fresco, relajado y muy acogedor. ¡Tanto que tuvimos una segunda botella de vino! Muy razonable precio en general , muy recomendable

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.

We’ve just visited for an anniversary dinner and it was superb. Having previously eaten at the Mayfair Murano, we loved the idea of the same quality in a less formal setting. 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.

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.

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.

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!

£1 is added to the bill for Street Smart charity. Murano charges service charge on such donation. I hope Murano passes on the £1 plus the 13.5% additional service on and not only the basic amount. Better still take it separately without service charge

Murano Cafe, boasting an Italian cuisine, sadly falls short of expectations. As an Italian, I found the 'Risotto ai porcini' and 'Paccheri di mare' to be lackluster, lacking both imagination and flavor. The dishes seemed run-of-the-mill, failing to impress with their mediocrity. Additionally, the prices were steep, not justifying the quality of the food. Overall, it was a disappointing experience that did not live up to its reputation.

I am a regular diner here and had another excellent meal on Friday 9 December. The food was delicious, as always, and the highlight was the sausage ragu. The service was excellent, especially from Diana and Laura (the manager). The atmosphere is always great, especially in the front dining room where you can see the kitchen. A top favourite restaurant.

Like a take out rather than a nice meal. Food was dull, generic, taste ...nothing a bit of bouillon couldn't fix...so disappointed, love love love Angela's concepts ...it's now a business rather than an eaterie

Lovely place, food was really good! So was service, very friendly and nice. Atmosphere was cosy, not loud at all, good vibes. We had the 3-course menu and both loved it. Definitely coming back to try other items on the menu

We celebrated my flatmate’s graduation with a lovely meal, surrounded by welcoming staff members and a cozy atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed the evening and could not stop commenting on how delicious the food was. Thank you team for making it special.

I don’t know about anyone else but I always find service in Italian restaurants hit and miss. They speak to you or not bother at all to speak to you when working on your table. Where to start. We arrived and were put in window table facing completely outside didn't get any ambience or see the decor but there were empty tables for two for the duration of the time we were there. So didn’t understand why we should sit in the space. We ordered the tortelli ravioli with pumpkin it was so over done and looked like a school dinner £24. Hardly any taste. The other order paccheri was so under done and sea food part looked like stew £30. At the time of ordering we were not asked plate size so we ended up Paying big plate size 🙄 shock horror and on top of that we’re duped into getting green salad which was just radicchio with chunks of black pepper and olive oil no salt. Some herbs. No need for it. Not worth the walk from London Bridge. Try it at your own peril. 😓 never thought I would say can I have money back!!!

Muy agradable el lugar muy con concurrido pero esperar para comer es algo que no es muy placentero y por ende la atención le falta un poquito pero muy bueno

Delightful experience! We had the Arancini and Cod Fritters to start - both absolutely delicious! Then we had the steak, oh my god what a treat! Stupidly good T-Bone steak cooked to perfection. It’s £90 but enough for two/three people. The pasta was al dente and sauce great. The desserts were also good and the service top notch. The ambiance is quite urban and the open concept kitchen a great touch. All in all a great experience. Although a bit on the expensive side, the quality of the food, service and ambience did make it worth it!

Nice Italian place serving a mix of pasta and meat. If you're looking for pizza go elsewhere! Mains come in a small and a large size and are all priced somewhere between £17 and £32. Good wine list with 175ml glasses between £7 and £9 for the first 3 options. No draught beer, but has good bottled beer. Service was excellent - attentive and friendly. Decor is a bit bare for my tastes, but that's just me. Overall a good place.

We hired the private dining room for our 50th wedding anniversary. It was a family occasion for 15 of us. The food was amazing, a good selection of wine.The dining room was just perfect for our party, clean, bright , pictures on the wall and a TV to show a slide show. I can't thank them enough at Murano for making our day perfect. The staff are always smiling, nothing too much trouble and the food is absolutely spot on. Don't bother looking around for a venue, just book Murano, you will not be disappointed. If I had any questions the private dining team answered very promptly. Nothing was too much trouble for them at the head office or the restaurant. We are so glad we chose Cafe Murano. Bermondsey street is buzzing so plenty of places to pop in on the way home!! Thank you all at Cafe Murano Bermondsey.

A wonderful benefit of dining here with a group of like minded friends, is being able to order a range of dishes off the menu to share. The service from when we walked in the door was impeccable. The food was absolutely delicious (next time I'm ordering extra burrata). The ambience was lively enough, but you could still hear each other speak. A big thank you for the extra fuss made over my birthday! All in all a fab experience.

The meal was faultless, fast service from kind and hardworking staff. Lovely interior and overall restaurant ambience, a little on the expensive side but delicious dishes nonetheless. Just left feeling whilst it was great, it's nothing to shout about. Not a meal I'd remember having or rave about to my friends and encourage them to go. If you want guaranteed good Italian food and a lovely restaurant experience, go here but if you're looking for dishes to surprise you or blow your socks off, not the place.

Really delicious food, calm atmosphere on the night, perfect place to go if you want a place that serves great Italian food and makes it the core of its purpose.

This was a treat to visit. Good quality Italian food. The table was only booked for 3 people, but they did fit in 6 of us last minute. There was a limited vegetarian option, but more if you are Pescetarians. The monkfish looked amazing served on a bed of barlotti beans. I chose the white onion risotto as risotto is one of my favourite dishes. When it arrived I can't help thinking it looked lacking, a bit bland like a bowl of porridge with cinnamon on top. Personally I think it could be presented a lot better. It tasted fine although the rice was al dente. The charred hispi cabbage though was absolutely delicious. I can't say I have ever enjoy cabbage so much. We shared a trio of desserts at the end: tirramissu, pannecotts and meringue. Tiramisu was so light and wasn't a strong coffee flavour so perfect for me. Best I have had. Pannecotta served with raspberries was devine. The meringue was also delicious. The table host was fantastic and make lots of choices and recommendations. I was a little taken aback at the end of the meal when a colleague was looking at the bill and I said could to give us a couple of minutes please. The person replied no not really we have the next party in waiting for the table. Not an ideal finish.

Wow, what a place..... Book for 7pm, we were early 6.30 & the restaurant got us seated which was very nice of them. Service was really good, although 1 server was attending us, each other server would politely ask if we needed anything, nothing pushy, never feeling rushed. The food was great & the portions sizes i felt were just right.. Keep it up, and we will return for sure

Guiseppe is great. No doubt about it. But his door staff are disappointing. Five stars for the venue, but highlighting the things that could be improved. See photos attached...

Food was very average, similar to what you can find in a supermarket. We were randomly charged one extra pound on the bill that we had to claim back. This area has much better places to eat.
