Ordered the spaghetti with clams. Was bland, clams did not taste as fresh (more frozen) and too much oil. Disappointing if only a tenner, but was a lot more than this.

Few restaurants can claim to trade from the same premises for nearly 60 years - Taberna Etrusca is part of this exclusive club. Traditional Italian atmosphere moments from the heart of the City and St.Pauls. The staff were helpful without being intrusive, atmosphere is unrushed, efficient and relaxed. A must visit venue.

Authentic Italian food tucked away in an atmospheric alleyway in the centre of the city. Yesterday at lunch time this osteria served a daily special menu which is incredibly good value. Some of the reviewers who have taken stars off for a large portion should understand that in Italy you would share dishes. However, even so the daily menu was very generous. The linguine alla vongole, tomato veloute and prawn risotto were all delicious. The wine menu is short but good. The tiramisu was very creamy and thiugh large, difficult not to finish. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Very nice business lunch here. Menu has lots of variety and some good daily special prices especially for the City . Worth a visit if you want to admire signed football shirts . Food was really good , lost a star because some of the staff just didn't seem happy and I feel for them , maybe a rude customer or a management issue.

Superb food and a great atmosphere. This restaurant has a sign outside to say that it is officially approved by the Italian government for the authenticity of the food. The special of the day, steak in a grain mustard sauce, was very fine indeed.

I recently had dinner here with a few colleagues, and while the food was a bit of a mixed experience, the service left much to be desired. Our waitress seemed uninterested and quite grumpy, which put a damper on the overall atmosphere. That being said, the rest of the experience was fine. I personally enjoyed the scallop and pasta dishes I ordered—both were delicious and well-prepared. However, my colleagues weren’t as lucky. They found their meals underwhelming and the portions were so large that it became more of a chore to finish than an enjoyable meal. So, while my dishes hit the mark, the inconsistency in both service and food quality left some room for improvement.

I had gone with my colleagues for lunch. I am a vegetarian and so was one of my colleagues who was visiting the country for the first time. I told 3 restaurant attendants that two of us are vegetarians and asked for veg recommendations. We ordered vegetarian pasta as suggested. In spite of all the discussion, the waiter served a non veg pasta to us which was an order for another table. Imagine one being allergic to something and telling the restaurant and still being served the dish with the same allergen, I could have very well died there! I only realised being served a non veg dish after another waiter came to the table saying here is your order and I told I have already been served which is when they realised I have been served incorrect dish!! The manager came to me and was smiling all the while trying to apologise. He said sorry ‘it happened by mistake, can only say sorry’!! None of us at the table really saw a hint of apology in his tone.. It was an horrendous experience, my religious and moral values were breached. Never going here again!!

After trying to find a dinner table in this posh area of the city on a Thursday night and being told we’d have to wait hours more than once, we found this beautiful Italian place. Distrustful at first as this was the first place in this area that was not full, but there was no reason in the end: it was all great!! As we had an Italian in our midst, authenticity was a must: box ticked. A nice seating: tick. Good Italian wines at fair prices: tick. Personal advice by the chef on the best dishes: check. AMAZING FOOD: check!! Fair price: check. Only some staff were a bit more grumpy than others, otherwise it would have been 5 stars for sure ..

Have eaten here 3=4 times before so thought it would be a good place to take a client, especially in terms of how warm and intimate the ambience usually is. The food was the same high standard as before. Service efficient and friendly. But the ambience was completely changed - tables laid out buffet-style in rows in the main room of the restaurant , with a handful of 2's & 4's kept towards the back. It seems they are in permanent Christmas party mode for a couple of weeks at this time of year. The atmosphere was honestly a bit tacky; such a contrast to how it usually is. They were full and it's clearly good business, and if you like sitting with lots of Christmas parties then no issue. But if you want the Taberna Etrusca you've come to know and love, this was like being in a completely different restaurant, and I'd avoid it for the season in consequence.

I had the restaurant's take on a chicken caesar salad (no croutons, and the dressing was too sour) with the thinnest strips of chicken known to man. For the mains, I had a massive portion of spaghetti bolognese, which I assume was so large to distract from the quality. Honestly, about 4 portions of spag bol heaped into a bowl. The spaghetti was store bought and overcooked, and the bolognese was watery, tasteless, and honestly reminded me of the slop I used to be fed as a young child when my parents didn't have time to cook properly (sorry mum). I had 2 courses, my companion had 3. I tried their tiramisu, which was the best part of the meal, but considering tiramisu is one of the easiest desserts in the world to make, we left pretty unimpressed. Do not go to this restaurant.

Raved about this place to friends and then was a bit embarrassed. Starter of crostini was poorly presented and didn’t taste good. We were given an old menu which gave away the price increases that must have happened lately including the steak increasing from £24 to £28 but the steak was prepared and presented worse than the last time I visited. There was a lack of a good vegetarian pasta option in our view. No water offered to the table for a long time. Had to ask for our drinks a few times. White veal pasta was delicious. We were asked by the waitress to sing happy birthday to the next door table which was a bit intrusive. Probably would have done it anyway but being asked to was a bit odd. Just didn’t feel as good as I hoped it would all together.
