I love Pizarro! José Pizarro’s restaurants and tapas bars are great, and Pizarro serves excellent food in a relaxed and vibrant environment. Good produce and a great menu, with a very good selection of Spanish wines. The service is also perfect - attentive and helpful, happy to guide and explain the size of dishes and make recommendations for the table / size of group. Highly recommended!

Way overrated and over priced. The space is nice, and waiting stuff attentive although they try to slip on the table extra water bottles you didn’t order. They attempt a good presentation, but the food itself is standard, the portions ridiculously small (not sure how they can put “to share” on the menu!), and the prices way to high for what you get…maybe it’s because everything is literally floating in oil and that’s what you pay for! Talking £9 for the anchovies as a “starter to share: you get 6 halves of anchovies that don’t taste too dissimilar from the supermarket ones. Or the cured tuna “to share”: £9.5 for 4 transparent slices about 6x3cm big. I could go on forever. Bit cheeky they also add a donation to your bill and a compulsory service charge of 13.5%. I’ve worked in hospitality for years and would never complain about a service charge if nothing is wrong with the staff, but on average that’s 10 or 12.5% on tables of 6 of more (and it was 4 of us). Would not recommend and will definitely not go back.

Great experience, although the waiter or host was using business as an argument for ordering everything at once when we just sat down. Making a fuzz about not being able to order some starters. Afterwards the restaurant flooded us with the dishes. It felt rushed. The waiter that helped us through the evening was great and the food was really good!

We were there for dinner from 6.30-8.30pm on the Thursday night. The food was ok but we were being rushed the whole time during dinner. The waiter rushed us to order from the beginning. We are fully aware the table is booked for 2h, but the way they rushed us to finish the food and leave is very unpleasant and rude. I do not recommend this place!

Restaurant has nice ambience with an open kitchen scene which we like. Food is ok, not great considering the price. We arrived for a 7:30pm reservation on a Sunday not knowing that the kitchen closes at 8:30pm until we were part way through our meal and we were told the kitchen is closing so order now if you want something else. No more wine or food just dessert. The chefs were cleaning up all around us which was annoying because we were seated at counter service which is directly facing the kitchen. We no sooner put our silver ware down than it was wisked away, including my wine glass which still had a sip of wine in it. I normally wouldn’t care about a sip of wine but I wasn’t done eating and there was no more wine being served so the last sip was somewhat important. The bill came and my husband is looking at it and notices a 13% service charge added at the end of the bill (based on post tax charges). In the fine print it reads “optional” but no one tells you it’s on the bill or that it is optional. If you are generous, you may add a tip not knowing the 13% is the gratuity (verified by the waitress when asked about the service charge). If we hadn’t noticed it on the bill, we would most definitely have tipped her. We felt it was quite deceptive. For the money, it was not a great experience. I probably would not go back.

They have most plates as "for 2" and charge accordingly. No way... portions are single and incorrectly presented as for 2. The cod (only one piece) with some mash potato, was priced £39. Comparable (or even better) restaurants would charge a single portion far less. And in fact, it was the equivalent of a single portion. The rice dish came into a large paella and it looked huge, but in reality was a thin layer of rice, even difficult to scoop, barely for one person ands priced £25... a single dish of rice, it'd be priced no more than £15 in a top London restaurant. I do not recommend. Service was ok, nice waitress doing her best, but food was overpriced and not so tasty, the cod for example was rather tasteless.

Pizzaro was great! It combined casual yet attentive service with great food. The restaurant was a little difficult to reach on public transport - about the only negative thing I can say about the place. But 15min walk is hardly an effort to get to an excellent restaurant like Pizzaro. The restaurant has big windows facing the street as well as several C shaped sofa seats facing open kitchen as well as conventional tables. Kitchen is brightly lit compared to the tables adding to theatrical feel and romance. Atmosphere was relaxed we didn't feel intimidated and it was great to see a couple work little babies being offered space and support to enjoy their meal (I think too often London forgets young family might also want to enjoy great food!). Service matched the decor and atmosphere. Waiting team was prompt, responsive and obviously passionate. I asked about couple of dishes and detailed description by our waiter was so good we could almost taste it. Food came out quickly but without being rushed. Our little plates were changed when it needed to be changed without having to ask. Even carafe wines could be refilled when I simply asked 'more of the same please' - something that can only be done if the waiter knows the table and many restaurants struggles to do. And the food. Every thing was excellent. Croquettes were creamy and cheesy. Arroz de pisto (a bit like paella made with rice only) sounds simple but cooking and taste was anything but simple. Bacala fritters were full of taste of cod without any hint of fishiness. Spanish black pudding was so good I could have easily eaten another plate. About the only disappointment was the restaurant selling out on couple of their popular dishes - that's what you get got going late on Sunday and I'd recommend going early! We were too full to have dessert and the tart had sold out anyway so we skipped dessert. I'm no wine buff and I wouldn't be able to say if the wine list is good. Carafe wines were not over priced although it was nothing special and would have been nicer to have slightly better wine at £17 for 375ml - but don't take my word, as I'm a novice on wines. Interestingly the bill was similar to our previous night at different restaurant. But unlike the above restaurant, we were full, atmosphere was enjoyable and food was much, much better. We will return again (at earlier time to enjoy their signature dishes!)

We absolutely loved it here! The food, drinks, staff, and service were brilliant... This cool, contemporary style restaurant on a trendy street made for a perfect london day out lunch. Food wise, we started with the melt in the mouth sliced Iberico jamon and chilled tomato and olive salad paired with a couple of glasses of the smooth Oloroso sherries.. then our second tapas plates were the most memorable roast chicken croquettes, so delicious! For our main sharing plate, we had the superb white prawns, fried eggs, and chips platter, which, as instructed by our waitress, we broke the eggs and mixed in to make a thick rich sauce to add to an already stand out dish... Finished with a lovely desert, and that was a perfect spanish style lunch over!! Highly recommend this fantastic restaurant to all....Enjoy!!

We are well travelled across Spain, and rarely come across a real Spanish restaurant in England, but Pizarro is the exception. The service was excellent , and the food was the best I've eaten in UK based Spanish venue. As I said to a member of staff, "the best Spanish restaurants are mostly owned by Spanish people". This is a real family run business with abuela y abuelo set on a picture on the wall. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we will see you in December. Ivan.

We hadn’t booked a table but we were given a table by the window. The staff were very attentive and friendly. We ordered peach salad, tomato salad together with tuna and potato salad. We finished our order off with prawn with chips topped with two fried eggs. What’s not to like. Fried eggs. Omg. All dishes were amazing.

We were waiting for our order for 30-40 minutes. The server blamed the chef. I don’t like complaining but the rice was uncooked and not edible. We said it to our server who interrupted us explaining the problem and said he’d talk to his manager. The manager came over to our table and looked at the dish and at use but said nothing. The server came back and said ‘sorry you didn’t like it’ and gave us the bill in an unfriendly tone. The bill included the dish that we ate none of. When we spoke to the manager he blamed the server. Everyone seemed to just pass the buck! No such thing as accountability or just saying sorry! The manager still fobbed us off and only at the end when we said we wanted it removed from the bill did he remove it. It felt like he was playing chicken and trying to chance how long he could go until we payed for the uncooked rice. Earlier in the evening the server had told us food we hadn’t ordered was on the way and when we said we didn’t order it he very very righteous and defensive- saying he read back the order and he’s certain we ordered that. Seriously lacking customer service skills. We left with such a sour taste in our mouths - shocking experience.

Lovely staff but food was inadequate and overpriced. Sharing a small (about the size of a chicken leg) leg of lamb and a tiny bowl of sliced potato with some kind of watery gravy slopped on top, no veg, for £60, honestly terrible value for money. Starter was no better. Although we complained to waitress, no manager came to ask why we weren’t happy. So we paid £140 per couple (there was a bottle of wine), and left after the quickest meal ever, with a sour taste and no desire to ever return.

Bitterly disappointed. Booked a table for two for my wife's birthday on Saturday 27th. Arrived at allotted time to be told, "Sorry, we've had a power cut" we can't offer any service. The manager lied, in that he said he's been trying to contact me, but no calls, missed calls, text messages or e-mails received. We weren't offered a complimentary drink, or any assistance in finding somewhere else to eat, even though the Pizarro tapas bar is about 30 metres up the same street. Very annoyed, and, had it been me that cancelled, I would have been charged a £15.00 per person no show charge. Received an e-mail on Sun 28th, saying that they "...were sorry that I had cancelled my booking". Complete rubbish. We will not be going back, there are far better restaurants nearby. Pizarro staff and managements attitude, "there's nothing we can do, your on your own. I wonder what Jose himself, or Fred Sirieix would say to such uncaring and unhelpful staff.

Disappointing quality of food for the overpriced tag. I have never seen jamon that has so much fat left on it when sliced, which for c.£30 for 60g you would expect better.

Pizarro is my favorite restaurant during 2 weeks stay in London. I went for dinner once and before my flight back to Malaysia. My fav dish is the beetroot salad, not a fan of beetroot but this is so simple, juicy and refreshing, in fact I have it twice! Although they're full house but the service and the food quality is impeccable! Tried a few michelin stars restaurant during my stay and i can say pizarro is much better than the other two michelin star tapas restaurant i went to. The service (i forgot their name) is not pretensive unlike the 2 star michelin i visit...i feel welcome here. I will revisit whenever i have chance to go back to London. Keep up the good work.

The atmosphere is great, but aside from that we were incredibly disappointed. Food - average at best, portions felt small. The only notable dish was the croquets, which were well made and tasted great. Some dishes were incredibly greasy with oil pooling at the bottom. Service - the waiter was quite loud and pushy. I felt like I had to repeat myself a lot. It didn't feel like they were taking my order, but more I was being used on food with little concern what I wanted (especially when it came to alcohol). I was there with .g extended family and it felt extra chaotic because of the constant up selling. Pricing - are very high for the quality and quantity of food you are getting. Prices are especially unfair when it comes to alcohol. For £50 you get a bottle of very very average wine at best. (We were poured a second bottle without asking, we didn't like the wine, and we're struggling to finish it). Overall it felt like we were bing up sold on subpar food and drinks, some items were snuck into our table without explicitly ordering them. I ended up getting sick right after the meal because of how greasy some of the dishes were.

We had a waiter who would constantly press us on whether we wanted more drinks, but we had to constantly chase for attention when we wanted to order food. To the point where the whole table was surprised we ordered an extra bottle of rose that we didn't like. Food was very greasy and one member ended up vomiting outside the restaurant. Serving sizes are small, to the point where the plates of ham feel blatantly incorrect by weight. Restaurant is clean and well decorated, and was suitably warm. The restaurant is dog friendly and were accomodating for him.

En autentisk Spansk restaurang utan fusk. Maten är den man får i gamla stan i Madrid Otroligt trevlig personal. En skicklig chefskock från USA som dessutom stod ut med mina nyfikna frågor. Vinlistan liten men bra utbud på spanska viner. På återseende 👌

We had a reservation for 6 and so were allocated a side room. From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel welcome by the friendly and helpful staff. over our aperitifs, with some help, we chose our starters, main courses and wines. The service was efficient and we shared out all the dishes so were were all able to taste the excellent food.

The food was very good. I expected a bit more but I really can’t complain about it! We had lots of vegetarian food options what we really enjoyed! The atmosphere was very loud and hard to have conversations with my family. But the service we had was very poor unfortunately. We didn’t felt welcome around them and it seemed like that we annoyed them with our different orders. A lot of room to improve.

We came with high hopes after a recommendation for the main course of mushroom rice from The Times.. Tbh it was all a little bland. We had three tapas choices. The sourdough was great, but the bean and cockle stew needed a lot more seasoning. The main rice course was also just a bit dull. Maybe we should have chosen more interesting dishes! We also had a dessert of chocolate and salted caramel tart - sounds amazing, but it really wasn’t. The chocolate part has a horrid sand-like texture - never thought I’d leave some of a dessert like that.. Finally the bill came with a whopping American style 13.5% service charge. The service was good, but on a bill for two for £150 that’s an extra £20. It’s literally taking the pizzaro ….

Very nice food! The pork tartare in particular was very tasty and well seasoned. Would definitely recommend. The staff were very nice and the service was prompt. The food also arrived quickly. The only downside was that it was a bit loud but that is to be expected from a spanish restaurant on a Thursday night. Great spot!

Food was really good in Bermondsey, we booked for 2 on Valentines day its also my Partners Birthday. I added to the booking is we could get a birthday dessert as a surprise. I also rang the restaurant to confirm and its didn't come after paying the bill. Of of course I couldnt ask the waiter infront of the table. A real letdown really.

Firstly, they were really great with my assistance dog (Hearing Dogs for Deaf People). He was bought water and we were given the perfect table for keeping his safely out the way without risk of being trodden on. Our waitress was lovely - she helped us to avoid over-ordering and spent as much time as we needed going through the menu. She was warm without being over-friendly and had an eye for when she might be needed. She was very kind to my dog too. Drinks were great - some amazing sherries and perfectly put together cocktails which weren’t too sweet. Highlight of course was the food. Iberian pork -perfect. A sort of Spanish black pudding with cuttlefish. And the best raw prawn dish I’ve ever had. 3 small plates and one main was just right for a special celebratory meal for two people. What I would change - bread could be a bit less expensive. You need it to mop up the amazing sauces but it’s too pricey.

Food was terrible. If you are looking for authentic tapas this is not the place (also because all staff is Italian). We waited an hour for the paella which came in burnt.

We had the pleasure of dining here on Valentine’s Day, we had a truly brilliant experience. Served by Geo, who made the meal a dream. Keep that man at all costs. Talked through the dishes and recommendations were on point. Delicious food, really unique flavours, beautifully executed. Hats off to the chefs and the rest of the team. Thank you and see you soon!

Deliciosa casa especial de hamburguesa "Spanglish", comer con papas fritas, papas fritas halloumi y croquetas. Es una versión interesante de la comida española / inglesa y muy buena también. Fantástico valor.

The food quality and quantity was very disappointing for the price we paid. The meat cheese board had small portions, I am Spanish and the cheese was not interesting or good, not to mention the meat… The bravas were a ridiculous size that you can easily get for free everywhere in Spain ( or for less than 3 quid honestly) It’s quite sad because it doesn’t portray what I understand as Spanish food. In Spain, we are more generous with the portions and the quality of the product. I won’t go back
