Cafe Murano Bermondsey in Southwark - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

Tasty Italian food with good value "theatre" menu.

Authentic Italian flavours. Simple, seasonal delicious, freshly cooked. Very nice staff delivering good service. Lovely space, especially in a summers evening. Very reasonably priced casual dining at its best.

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!

Excellent quality and well-priced set lunch. Nice vibe. Friendly waiters but they were pretty stretched and obviously short staffed.

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.

Underwhelming. Unfortunately, this is yet another Italian restaurant that doesn't cater to Italians. The pastas are just meh, the plaice was the best of the 8 dishes we tried.

This place is a 10/10 all around!

I’ve only good things to say about our visit. Service was fantastic and brunch was fantastic. Will definitely be back!

Food was lovely nice to be able to choose small or large portion.

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.

Gnocchi and pesto linguine were great! Atmosphere 10/10

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.

Eat here on a regular basis as I have always enjoyed the food and staff. Had lunch recently and ordered the pasta mussel dish, only had 5 mussels and at £26 not value at all.

Impolite and impersonal staff who made no effort to accommodate for an allergy. Food was extremely expensive for small portions. Produce quality was questionable as my tortelli included incredibly gritty spinach. Much better options in close vicinity with significantly better service!

Delicious meal, hosting by Alessandra from the beautiful country Sardenia ! such an amazing staff and efficient, definitely come back and recommend the place, Grazie per l'accoglienza!

The restaurant was wonderfully spacious and lively. We also enjoyed the friendly and attentive service. Food was fine but nothing to write home about, they also leaned towards greasier flavours.

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.

Good food, relaxed atmosphere, nice casual place.

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

We had a wonderful meal here. Food, service and atmosphere just brilliant. We will be back!

Excellent food. Depending on the time of day, they can get quite busy. Child friendly with high chair if needed, creations and activity sheet(with the children's menu printed on it)

Everything we tried was delicious! We specifically liked the rigatoni with the sausage and the tiramisu. The vibe and the staff were great too! When we asked for a table closer to the window, they were happy to change us table. Bijoy and Alessadra made our experience even better!

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 .

Found by chance on a day out. Received a lovely welcome on arrival. Plenty of time given to look at the menu. Ordered chicken milanese with broccoli side and tortellini main and shared between two of us. Food was delicious, chicken milanese one of the best I've had. Would definitely go back. All staff helpful and friendly. Nice atmosphere.

A nice cafe to have good Italian food.

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.

Excellent service. Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Shared several antipasto dishes and fish. I would rate Cafe Murano as 4.8!!

Excellent Italian cuisine! We dined at this restaurant we found by chance and the food is good quality (I am Italian), the place is neat and the service is attentive. A note to practice for the service of Alessandra, kind, smiles, attentive and professional. I recommend this London restaurant with Italy on the dishes!

We found this place by chance. We chose 3 course menu paired with red house wine. The food is extremely delicious and the staff are so friendly. We felt like as if we were hosted by an Italian family. Blood orange with sorbet is our one of our favourites.

Lovely set lunch. Fab service and lovely drinks in a relaxed setting. Perfect Saturday lunch place.

We arrived late in the evening, as soon as we entered we were welcomed with great enthusiasm by an Italian waitress from Sardinia named Alessandra, with her sweet personality she made us feel at ease, she advised us what to eat, and gave us also information on how to get around London on your own. Thank you for the excellent food and for your welcome 🤗🤗

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....

Love the Pappardelle with slow braised rabbit and taggiasca olives. It went well with the white wine (2022 Lugana ‘I Frati’, Ca’ del Frati’, Lombardia) recommended by the waiter. Staff are friendly and helpful. Prompt in service too. vibes. We had a lovely evening

Attentive staff Very welcoming Great food

Amazing all round! Fab staff! Food and wine were wonderful

I will never go back, the dishes have nothing Italian about them, the starters are disgusting, a terrible experience.

Food good but very small portions. So left Cafe a bit hungry. Atmosphere was good plus service.

Very over priced and mediocre food. Service was more akin to pizza express (which isn’t bad, but at a 10th of the cost probably a better bet)

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.

Two dishes on menu off at Monday lunch. One was tortellini dish the other fish..... The staff and MD always efficient and friendly and the restaurant is comfortable and well designed. The food can be delicious but sometimes not. Inconsistent. Risotto with Jerusalem artichokes fantastic Pasta with rabbit Ragu dry and not very good. I do like the place and as a local will continue to go regularly. Want to s

The food and atmosphere, as always, were fantastic. The service was at times slightly slow but we weren’t in a huge rush so it wasn’t a problem. Aside from this though, the waiting staff were very helpful and friendly.

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.

Neal at the host stand is an absolute ANGEL! This is my 2nd time dining here solo and they are the BEST!

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.

We had such a lovely experience!The food was excellent and the ambience was amazing! The team greeted us very warmly and we were offered an excellent service. We are definitely coming back again, thank you for your special treat!

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.

Lovely food and very friendly staff. They're also VERY dog friendly which is an amazing bonus!

Good soul to the food, attentive staff that will go the extra mile. Carry your balsamic vinegar as its banned here haha. Love the place, and the ambience is very inviting.

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!

Food is very nice the waitress is friendly but waiters are not very

£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.

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

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.

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!!!

A lovely venue and customer experience. The menu is great and the food is delicious across the board. Highly recommended

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.

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.

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.

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.

We booked Cafe Murano spontaneously for dinner on Saturday as we were in the area. The host was incredible, he is the most warm and welcoming host I have ever encountered. Immediately we felt so comfortable and genuinely 'invited in' which was a really warming start to the wonderful evening that followed. (I would say this is VERY rare in nice London restaurants). The food is SO GOOD! We picked quite a lot from the menu and everything was delicious. The salt cod fritters, charred hispi cabbage, risotto and chocolate caprese cake were favourites. The staff were very helpful and were happy to let us enjoy our food at a leisurely pace, there was no feeling of being rushed.

Really great experience. Good value, excellent food well cooked. The mackerel was amazing.

This was my second time coming, really wanted to give this place another shot. Unfortunately, it wasn’t any better really. It took them a very long time to take our order. The rigatoni was watery. They forgot to bring us the salami we ordered.

Every time i've been at Cafe Murano, it's always been a memorable experience. Absolutely love the food and the service is just top notch. My only request is to bring back the pistachio and fig (cake?) from a year ago - Nov 2022. It was just delicious!!!

The second time I've visited in as many weeks. Its a good restaurant with great food and friendly staff .

Enjoyed a leisurely meal here with my sister in law on a Monday evening. Staff very friendly and helpful and the food excellent.

Excellent service, food was really good especially tiramisu and lamb with artichokes . Not too pricy like other Italian restaurants in the area

We had a set lunch menu at Bermondsey Cafe Murano today. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Our meal was perfect. The waiter Raphaele and Manager Luigi couldn't have done any more to make us feel welcome and their service was impeccable. It certainly lifted our Monday to a whole new level. Look forward to visiting again soon, maybe for dinner next time.

Amazingly friendly, welcoming and top notch italian fare. Besides some excessively al dente pasta, i would give the team in Bermondsey a 10/10. With all that said, the menu is not cheap at 50-60 per head without alcohol, though the set menu is keanly priced, but it is definitely worth it. I will be going back, and suggest anyone give it a try at least once.

Great location in busy Bermondsey.Two of us ordered the chicory,apple,beetroot and walnut salad-it came without beetroot and walnuts....a chicory and apple salad then!When we complained they said they had run out of beetroot at 6pm but that they had just forgotten to put the walnuts on.Back it went.It was only ok.They tried to charge full price for the salads.Just insulting!Probably won't go back.

Would not recommend at all! We ordered some bread, which came with olive oil. I asked for some balsamic vinegar and was told by the waiter i wasn’t ‘allowed’ to have any, because ‘Angela wouldn’t like it ‘ as it ‘spoilt her olive oil”. I thought he was joking, but no, he wasn’t, he repeated that Angela wouldn’t like it. He did say they had balsamic vinegar on the premises but insisted i couldn’t have any. He then proceeded to tell me that it wasn’t ‘Italian’ to dip bread into balsamic- which flummoxed me as I’ve been all over Italy and have often been offered balsamic vinegar with bread. Furthermore, the food was bland, lukewarm and very expensive. I had the risotto which tasted of very little, Over all, a very poncey and pretentious restaurant and the food just does not warrant their grandiose, superior attitude,

Overpriced,poor service, monkfish tail was awful-tough and poorly prepared, Poor acoustics, very noisy . Wine very expensive.

Excellent food and service . Can be quite noisy in the main part of the restaurant but quieter on the side. It's definitely worth going for the food

27-Sep-22: I visited Café Murano Bermondsey, ten mins walk from London Bridge station, on a Tuesday evening in a private dining area to celebrate a friend's big birthday. The area was great: separated so you felt in your own space, but not behind a closed door, so you still had the buzzy atmosphere of the rest of the restaurant. I arrived early and was warmly welcomed by the staff before others arrived. The service throughout the meal was excellent: always someone available when we wanted something. The food was great: selected from a cut down menu due to our large party size. Many sharing dishes. All delicious. The birthday girl and all guests left feeling very happy and satisfied. I'd definitely recommend and will return.

Absolutely amazing food. Fresh ingredients, not too heavy and not too light. Great service - happy staff. Great ambience.

Lovely lunch with a friend. The service was super and they were also very kind to find space for two prams next to our table and slowed the service down for us as the babies were demanding our attention, so we weren’t rushed.

Really overpriced and unremarkable. Two bowls of pasta with a rather salty monotonous sauce (£19 each), green salad and a couple of glasses each of house wine set us back nearly £100. Just not worth it.

What a treat! Fabulous decor and amazing food. Had the figs and San Danielle ham bruschetta and the pork neck. Both were lovely but the pork was particularly divine! My brother had the pork also but the octopus carpaccio to start, which I've never had before and was delightful. Thank you

Great wine and food. Highly recommend when on Bermondsey street

I have to say I was a little disappointed. The primi were all very nice - especially the pasta/risotto dishes, but I think the secondi were somewhat underwhelming. My hake was nice, but served on too many beans in the bean pesto (not enough pesto flavour given the number of beans). My friend's risotto main didn't seem to be any bigger than the amount his wife was served when she had it as her starter. Her monkfish was nice, but small. When she asked to be served it without potatoes there was surprisingly little flexibility. No complaints about the desserts though. What does annoy me is the fact that I guaranteed the booking at £25 per head and I received at least three messages warning me that I would forfeit the deposit if we were no shows or more than 20 minutes late. That seems over the top and already made me feel slightly unwelcome. I don't suppose an A list celebrity would suffer this. I also object to a 13.5% service charge. I'm just about reconciled to 12.5% being added automatically, but soon it will creep up to 15% and who knows where from there. Call me old-fashioned, but....

Delicious food. Nice portions. Very friendly staff.

Excellent. it was sunny! We opted for outside. On arrival we were early. Not a problem. Not always the case. We ordered the arancini to share. Perfect. Lots of Parmesan. We had two pork bellies which were announced to be so tasty and cooked with care. I had the chicken Milanese and it was perfect.with a huge pile of well dressed rocket. We shared the zucchini a vegetable I normally avoid as it can be cooked so badly. Not these. The potatoes were salty and buttery. We were so full and happy we didn’t opt for puddings. This is partly if you have been to a Murano before you know the coffee comes with a delicious lemon biscuit. Our waiter brought us extra ones. In July we went to a nearby Spanish restaurant and although the food was very good the staff were terrible. I will always return to a Murano with the knowledge the service and food will be excellent
