Delicious Italian food paired with memorable wine served hospitably in a relaxed atmosphere. The prawn risotto was among the best risotto I have had in my life.

A fabulous lunch. The service is outstanding. Exactly the right balance of attentiveness, without being OTT. Perfect from the moment we walked through the door until we left! The food was delicious, though we were so full by the time we got to pudding, we had to share one, which is unheard of! Very highly recommended.

Tried their 3 course lunch menu for £60- had the duck kromesky starter, braised pork cheek main and choux bun as dessert. I thought the duck was very well executed together with some water cress. The pork cheek was tender and well cooked but it did feel slightly salty to taste. It also came with some mashed potato which was very smooth and wasn't that salty so it did balance out the meat. Should add that I also got the roasted potatoes side but this seemed quite average. The choux bun came with pickled raisins and ice cream inside and I thought it was really good. Probably my favourite course. Also got a surprise starter (a small arancini like dish) and at the end got a small biscuit with orange sweet?? Not sure what these were tbh Overall the portions were very good - I was full with just three courses and probably didn't need the side. I suspect that the actual menu (not the lunch set) might be even better and could be the reason for the michelin star - the lunch menu was good but it didn't necessarily wow me hence the 4 stars

We had the 5 course menu and on the whole enjoyed our lunch. The menu and flavour combinations of the dishes were quite simplistic but seasonal and executed well. We particularly enjoyed our pasta dishes. The raspberry and pistachio souffle was very nice! Great champagne and wine. The service was okay, not that impressive but perhaps keeping in line with a one star restaurant. The decor seemed a bit outdated in places.

Most of the food was very bland and does not justify the price (particularly the truffle risotto and the venison). Exceptions to this were the scallops and the monkfish, which were both quite nice. Sommelier could not recommend drinks outside of the wine list, which was disappointing as I am pregnant and my partner does not enjoy wine. I appreciate this is not his speciality but some training from the restaurant would add to the experience. Service from the rest of the team was good but unfortunately the food was so poor that we will not be returning or able to recommend Murano.

We dined at Murano last night to celebrate a birthday and I honestly could not fault it. The whole experience was wonderful. The restaurant is so nicely decorated to be welcoming and very classy but not stuck up and overly posh. For example the plane wooden tables instead of tablecloths makes it feel warmer and slightly more relaxed than some other Michelin restaurants. The staff were so attentive and helpful without being overbearing. They explained the many and never rushed us in any way. Some of the staff were quite young, great to see the restaurant investing in young talent as they were all so great at their jobs. As for the food it was just wonderful. The menu is really clever, basically a mix and match of starters and mains, meats and fish that allows you to choose any dish in any order and also how many courses you prefer. So much choice was really nice. Angela Hartnet has done an amazing job with this restaurant, she really has made an inviting and utterly impressive dining experience.

Was ok. Expected to be WOW’d but I wasn’t. Service was slowwwwwww well at least for us. A large table arrived 15 min after us, seated next to us and they got menus and drinks and well into ordering before someone even came to our table to offer water. Then a random guy came and gave us hors d’oeuvres out the blue (it was yummy) but we were both confused. Once the meal got started it got better but I truly wasn’t impressed.

My fiancé surprised me with a birthday meal at Murano - so surprised that I was underdressed but thankfully it was okay as there were others in there wearing trainers and jeans too (albeit smarter than I looked but anyway!) The summer menu was still available and we had the choice of 3 to 6 courses. We initially intended on doing 5 courses but we were so full after 4 that we called it quits there. We had the following - Starters: Rabbit for me, Scallops for him - Pasta: Red mullet linguine - Fish: Halibut with carrots - Main: Chicken for me, Veal for him I of course tried my fiancés dishes too but I think I made the right choices. The rabbit fish was fresh but full of flavour. the red mullet linguine had the most perfect thin linguine and the waiter explained it’s cooked in fish stock to enhance the flavour and that really comes through. The halibut is lightly poached and has the perfect cook on it and then the chicken was a hearty meal. If I’m 100% honest the main dishes were the least impressive of the courses and could have been from any restaurant or cuisine. The atmosphere in the restaurant was fantastic, it was so bustling. I once heard Angela Hartnett on TV explain that she wanted Murano to be fine dining, good Italian food without being pretentious or stuff just because it’s in Mayfair and that is 100% what Murano achieves. I will definitely be recommending to all my foodie friends and if we ever come back, I’ll be sure to do 4 courses but make the fourth the dessert because the Lemon Tart looked unreal!

Really wanted to love it, but First 4 dishes are nothing but carbs: bread, potatoes, pasta and rice. Followed by an hour and a half of waiting for the main which was cold fish. Doesn’t seem like the menu is balanced in terms of flavor or even nutrients and fiber. Service was incredible, but sadly no one at our table seem to be impressed.

There was a table of men sat next to us who were very load and swearing constantly.So much so that after being there for 40 minutes when waitress came to tell us about the food we could not hear her.She agreed and went to fetch the manager who came and he tried to talk to us and also could not be heard.He asked them to quiten down and then said to us they were going soon.He said he would move us tables but with food already on table it would be after this course. After they left the manager never came back to speak to us.This is our second visit to Murano.First visit 5 star 3 years ago. Managment should have informed table to stop swearing as other customers were looking also. We went for the fine dining and got pub experience

I came here many years ago and didn’t really remember it but came again for lunch today on a day off. I highly recommend, the food was excellent and the service even better, especially Tamara who was top class. The value for money is best in London, the 3 course set lunch includes anti pasti, a summer spritz and tea coffee for £55. And you can get a decent glass of wine for £9. Will be coming back definitely.

Tried this restaurant today, it was abysmal. Poor and anaemic menue, no Italian classics, nothing interesting, really a horrible A la carte experience, with under cooked fish, sauce was few drops, and the starter honestly it was a joke. What you see on yhe online pictures doesn't exist, and the atmosphere leaves to be desired. I won't ever come again, and I doubt this establishment has a Michelin star, if it has one my local McDonalds should have 3. Poor experience

Murano is a lovely restaurant. I find the staff/customer ratio is very high in the best restaurants. And that is the case with Murano, where the staff are always present but totally unobtrusive. The stuffed courgette flower was good but not as good as at the Abingdon. Our main courses (pasta and brill) were very good. We shared a raspberry souffle desert, with pistachio ice; it was a masterclass in how to make a wonderful dessert. I have two reservations: 1) the bread that came with the meal was underbaked 2) 2 male customers (and not youngsters either) wore shorts. If customers do not have the sense of decorum not to wear shorts to a smart restaurant, like Murano, then the restaurant should have a ‘dress policy’.

Be careful as they attempt to charge £65 per head cancellation. My guests had covid and I rang to cancel 24 hours ahead. But the policy is that they charge £65 for each person (£15 more per head than their set lunch menu), I said I would go ahead with the booking in that case (cheaper to buy three set menus then leave). But then my daughter rang them and negotiated that they would cancel without charging. So she saved me £195. Their website does not suggest they charge cancellation fees - the note is at the very bottom of the email they send confirming the booking. Best wishes to all, Johnnie

Murano had been on the list of places to go for a long time and finally managed to visit. The restaurant is very spacious and light and very calm and really good atmosphere. The only mark down on this was the bathroom facilities (esp men’s one which could do with an individual lock to the bathroom). The service was paced and steady and felt each staff working hard to focus on delivering great service: friendly, warm and subdued. It is unique to be able to select as many course as you’d like. We went for 5 courses - the portions (especially you will get amuse bouche and bread and charcuterie) were not small for a Michelin star venue so be prepared to be full if you do go for a full 5/6 courses meal. The menu changed seasonally and our first course was trout and scallops - scallops were perfect and well balanced. Trout was good but felt slightly lack of seasoning. Also I found it difficult to eat this dish when it’s served in a bowl like plate. Second course was risotto and pasta - this risotto was probably the best risotto I’ve ever had and was so simple yet so rich and delicious, the pasta on the other hand was good but not as memorable. The fish courses felt like they missed the flavour - lack of seasoning and flavours were competing rather than complimenting (especially acidity winning big time on some fish and tempura overpowering). We were delighted with the meat course, perfectly cooked meats, wonderful garnish. The desserts were also divine - and the jelly square served at the very end was my favourite and perfect pallet cleanser after a big meal. Overall, it was a nice meal and if I was coming back again, I’d go with 3/4 courses, risotto/lighter starter, meat course and dessert.

There is a disturbing trend with so-called high end restaurants to revert back to the nouvelle cuisine of the early 80s with not much on the plate and everything on the wallet. We had hoped Murano would not be following this trend ,but sadly this was not to be. The scallop appetiser was delicious, well cooked and refreshing. However we were both very disappointed with the pasta course. Five or six very small tortellini the size of my small fingertip did not constitute a reasonable portion of carbs you would expect from an Italian restaurant. My partner's portion of seabass looked more generous, however my halibut was a quarter of the size, over cooked, a bit dry and the whole dish a little cold. Whilst I went for the veal main course my partner chose the Herdwick Lamb and was served only one lamb cutlet. One wonders what happened to the rest of the tasty meat they trimmed off just for presentation. My veal was fantastic but came with the smallest portion of sweetbread I have ever been served, barely a mouthful and more reminiscent of the tasty skin you get on a piece of KFC chicken. The biggest disappointment was the souffle. There seemed to be a very long wait. A waiter did apologise for the delay saying that something was wrong in the kitchen, but this is when the service fell short. Instead of offering something complementary to help pass the time, we were left for a long time twiddling our thumbs with only our glass of tap water. Eventually when the soufflés started emerging from the kitchen they were not the tall pink columns of perfection we had seen served earlier in the evening, but very stumpy and brown. By the time I started to eat mine it had completely collapsed. It was still delicious but the execution was very poor. This is all a great shame, since we have been to Murano before and enjoyed some exceptional food. In our opinion they should concentrate more on the dining experience and not their extensive and very expensive wine collection. Perhaps Murano should rebrand itself as an up market wine bar that happens to serve very tasty nibbles

My wife has wanted to visit this restaurant for a while and with her birthday on the horizon, I booked a table. We received a warm and very friendly welcome on arrival as we were shown directly to our table. It seemed to be quite a small, busy dining room but with a smart and relaxed atmosphere. The young lady "overseeing" our table was excellent, helpful and informative as was our sommelier, one of three on the night. The English fizz to start was excellent as were the 'nibbles'. We tasked our sommelier to provide a wine flight for the evening and he didn't miss a beat, in fact I think he enjoyed doing it as much as we enjoyed drinking his wine choices! We started with the agnolotti and the artichoke risotto... fantastic. Before progressing onto the next course, the chef very kindly provided the halibut dish for us to share and taste - a birthday treat - which was an absolute delight. My rose veal course was delicate and such a lovely sensation, my wife's Herdwick lamb turned out to be another winner. Even after all this sensational food we just about managed the raspberry souffle and the Amalfi lemon tart. The wines that we sampled along with each individual dish added an extra dimension and were more than just a 'taster' than often happens with a wine flight. A great birthday treat on our trip down from Leeds, worth the trip!

Honestly pretty underwhelming. Starting with the ambiance, it is tastefully done but feels a little like you are sat in an airport lounge.

I was treated to this meal by my Family for my 73rd birthday on Friday 5th April! My daughter and husband ordered scallops to start. My son and I had sea trout. Scallops were delicious according to my daughter and husband. However the trout was cold and sitting on what I can only describe as cold yoghurt with warm onions under it! Neither of us could eat it! When the plates were removed I was not asked about why I had left the dish! After choosing drinks, I had asked for a Pinot Grigio, the sommelier said they only had an orange Pinot, I said that would be fine. He proceeded to share the wine with his colleagues before pouring the wine for me! The wine was nearly red and was certainly not orange Pinot. I was reluctant to make any negative comments as my family had gone to such lengths to make this a memorable birthday, indeed my son had come over from Toronto to celebrate with me! My daughter ordered lamb and my husband ordered duck, my son ordered sea bass and I ordered halibut. My daughter was given duck and not lamb. The server said please start that and we’ll get you a lamb! My husband enjoyed the duck, my son said the sea bass was ok. My halibut was dry and overcooked! Again the server did not enquire why I didn’t/couldn’t eat the halibut! The servers replenished the water for all of us but we had to ask for any wine refill! The deserts, I’m told by my family were good, I was given a “birthday plate with a small sponge on it!” I was disappointed but couldn’t bring myself to complain as I did not want to spoil the evening. I don’t know how much the meal cost, but it wasn’t worth it! I could not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I was so disappointed not only about the experience but also that I have admired Angela Hartnett for a long time, which is why my family chose her restaurant to surprise me for my birthday!!!

Nice selection of wine. Very friendly front of house manager but on other hand the food is not a bad but anythink special and I think that the food in the one Michelin star restaurant have to be better. The kitchen is very messy and seems not to be organize. That's maybe because They have new Head chef George Ormond and his past experience is seems not to be right for Head chef at 1 Michelin star restaurant. He seems a bit inexperienced and messy with his work. Maybe They will need to try to find another one with more previous experience. The cost off food is to much for what you are getting and you can find many places with better price for food.

We booked lunch at Murano on Easter Friday. We arrived after 2pm and the restaurant was relatively quiet. We were offered to choose our table. The initial service was a relatively patchy, with different members of the team making recommendations and then taking our orders. We settled on lunch menu with additional risotto primavera to share. Our pork ragu garganelli with anchovies and pangrattato was delicious, this was followed by additional risotto and Cornish hake, lentil & mussel ragu. Hake was perfectly cooked and pomme puree we ordered as a side, reminded me of some of the best Parisian restaurants we’ve eaten in. We finished our lunch with selection of cheeses which were mostly British to our surprise. We chose matched wines with our lunch, in reality sommelier was only able to offer wine from ‘by glass’ section of the menu rather than proper matched wines. Wine was a let down in our opinion. Overall, we had a lovely afternoon, food was delicious but slightly let down by inconsistent service and disappointing wines.

We had the lunch menu, which was super nice especially the hake for me served with the creamiest of mussels, the hake was beautifully cooked. Lovely breads, olive oil with tasty ham and olives to munch whilst we chose from the menu. Not much of an atmosphere with only thirteen diners, a bit like eating in a library - not really a reflection of Angela’s personality.

A wonderful restaurant that exceeds even high expectations. The food was perfect, service excellent, in a casual and friendly atmosphere. Even better to see Angela hard at work in the kitchen. Would highly recommend.

Really underwhelming and so overrated expensive for what it was. I was so excited to go and had high expectations with the notable chef and m.star. Restaurant was a bit like a fancy Mayfair office lacked atmosphere . Staff almost running past tables it lack grace and demeanour for a m.star establishment. Lots of chat around the waiter station was like a bus stop. No attentive service to drinks and the speed of meal service was very slow. A table opposite was even waving water glasses at a passing running waitress but alas ignored. Food was bland. I was dying to try every course but I wish I’d just had a main and left. Absolutely would not go.

We visited whilst we were in London for lunch. It’s a lovely restaurant with great staff, a special thanks to Leannah who was lovely and really helpful. The bread and dip were excellent. We enjoyed our food but as other reviews have said some courses were not quite hot enough. Angela was working on this day and it would have been nice if she popped out to greet guests as other chefs have done at other Michelin restaurants we have visited. I know she was busy but people pay a lot of money to dine at these places. I enjoyed the food more than my husband, worth a visit but probably wouldn’t return

Murano by Angela Hartnett. We visited here this evening. In the main the food was good. However....my fish course was cold!!! Unforgivable! If there's one thing I can't tolerate, it's cold food!!! I didn't make a fuss although did mention it when our plates were cleared and the waitress arranged for that entire course to be deducted from our bill which was very gracious of her. One other downside. I heard one of the waitresses making comment to diners at another table that the two gentlemen seated in front of the pass window were concerned that they would be watched by the kitchen staff. She assured them that due to the way the lighting was arranged, this was not likely. I felt this to be very unprofessional. On to the positives. The rest of the food was good, service good. The sommelier excellent and very informative, recommending a beautiful wine. All in all, a positive experience. Just one or two niggles that need addressing.

Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Visited for my wife’s birthday on a rainy Friday lunchtime. We were one of the first to arrive as had booked for 12pm. The staff gave a warm welcome and helped store away hats, coats, umbrellas etc. The tables soon filled with other diners. Starting with the bread, olives and sliced ham we enjoyed the NV. Champagne presented elegantly the very knowledgeable sommelier. He was a great ambassador for the restaurant with his recommendations based on our individual orders. He helped us try some wines so we could select our preferences. The food was superb. Beautifully presented (baby beets salad especially), delicious (monkfish in crumbs of real note) and every element so well thought through. We especially enjoyed the venison, cooked to perfection. Not something I have the chance to have often. Delicious ingredients and spot on wine pairings. Very slick service, warm and friendly. Definitely be back.

I must admit I was excited to try here. My sister had spoken highly of it. Nice design and lay out. Wonderful staff, who are caring and attentive. I had the pasta with pork ragu. Was a bit to al dente and very salty. The main pork dish was tasty and cooked well. The pistachio tart was dry and needed a warm custard. I don't think the apple Sorbet went well. The wine choice was perfect for the dishes. Living with a trained chef who is Italain, I've developed my palate. I'm sorry to say no lasting impression.

I treated my daughter to a prebirthday lunch here yesterday and cannot fault the attentive, professional yet friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble and they were unobtrusive in their service. Whilst we enjoyed the food, I cannot say it was worthy of a Michelin star. Loved the olives, focaccia, bread sticks and prosciutto, could have filled up on these alone. The pasta course was good , but not warm enough . My daughter had sea bream which was delicious and I went for the belly pork , also delicious but a tad cool to eat. Desserts were underwhelming on the lunch set menu choice so my daughter had the rhubarb and custard soufflé which was outstanding.. I had the apple cake with Granny Smith sorbet, beautiful but I left the cake as it wasn’t that good. They gave my daughter a beautiful cake on a happy birthday plate, very thoughtful. A nice experience but, unfortunately for me, not memorable apart from the staff.

Went on a Saturday night. Lovely small restaurant. Seats are nice and plenty of space between tables for privacy. All staff were attentive and helpful. Food was excellent as expected but could have been a bit hotter in temperature. The way they work the menu is good so you can spend as much or little as you want really. Wine list extensive and pretty much something for everyone. Will go again when the menu changes from Winter.

Excellent food, drink and service. Thank you for making this special occasion so perfect!! My favourite course was the Faggotini and the Chilean Sauvignon Blanc was delicious. The dessert wines were a great match.

Très bonne cuisine, cadre agréable et propre, personnel très agréable et professionnel, MAIS , nous avons été servis trop vite, entrées, plats, café en 45 minutes. On avait l’impression d’être dans une fabrique à sous”allez dépêchez vous et partez” dommage 😏

Don’t bother if you value customer service. Booked for an early dinner. Restaurant was closed and was still charged £60 for the no show. Called the restaurant and both the host and the manager were rude and disrespectful. Claimed they were open and it was our fault. Awful!
