Taberna Etrusca in City of London, Westminster

Wonderful food and friendly Italian team. Thank you so much for the lovely evening.

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.

We had a nice meal for 5. Great food and good service

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.

A delicious meal, authentic dishes, so much better than a chain and at a good price with attentive service.

Solid City lunch spot, The veal escalope is legendary.

Great food, authentic atmosphere A tad warm today but perhaps that’s me!

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.

Very nice Italian restaurant with a menu to virtually suit everyone . Prompt service , food preparation times are reasonably good and atmosphere is on point . A star lost because some of the waiting staff just seemed miserable

The service was excellent - friendly, helpful and efficient. The food was super tasty and the portion was very generous.

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.

Excellent all round, and the staff very kindly brought over a tiramisu adorned with candles and sang “happy birthday”! Really beautiful food and a lovely place at which to enjoy it.

Delicious food and very attentive service! Spontaneously found this hidden gem and decided to give it a try.

I was a little disappointed as I haven’t been back for a few years. It was very quiet for a Friday lunch! and felt a little pressured to leave earlier as no one else was in the restaurant. The food was ok. The service was ok but I’m not I would recommend

excellent traditional Italian restaurant with great service. Food was excellent ,my only surprise was how quiet it was. we need to support aithentic family businesses like this or we will lose them forever!

Food's alright. Portions were a little small. Tiramisu was superb.

Nice setting, good atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. Really enjoyed it, reasonably priced menu with a good list. Will be back!

Great food and wine, friendly staff, good location and atmosphere. Will be back!

Very good Italian food, lovely selection of starters and mains, and the steak is really good and filling.

We had a fantastic birthday lunch here today. The staff were amazing. The food was to die for, and we finally got decent weather!

Brilliant place, lovely food and fantastic service, can’t ask for more really. Not my first visit and definitely won’t be my last. Thanks for a smashing evening 👍🏻

A little pricey but well worth it...a great restaurant with fabulous food.

Always great food at this City establishment. Can’t fault it

Good place for nice business lunch. Food is good. Service is excellent.

Superb, authentic, fine Italian dinjng with the most attentive and gracious service. Great value too!

Classic for a reason! Consistently high quality food, efficient and friendly service with sensible prices unusual in the area.

The outdoor seating, although not large, was a very nice spot to sit and enjoy lunch. The food was fantastic, good value, and was a decent sized portion. The staff were also very pleasant. Thanks.

Thanks for organising a birthday cake, great ambience

Great location and friendly staff, loved it! Amazing location and open late, supreme staff, truly recommended!

Amazing service and great food. Traditional Italian in the heart of the City.

What a gem of a restaurant tucked away in the heart of the city. A charming, traditional italian restaurant where the service and food are consistently good. A successful family run restaurant, where their usp is that nothing has changed over the years in terms of decor and ambience where you can enjoy good food and good wine. You are instantly transported to Italy as you walk through the door. A lovely italian dining experience

As always fabulously food in a great place served by great people

Excellent Italian food, great staff and good for business and social

Excellent food. We ordered a pancetta which was very tasty, falling apart and soft, and spaghetti with meat fillets, well seasoned. Everything very tasty. I highly recommend it! We will be back, for sure.

Great food at this busy city restaurant. A little loud, so conversation is difficult

Okay experience, service was good, but food was certainly not as good as usual. Was a business lunch with a client and not sure he left with a great impression.

Always a good all round experience, Good food, good service and a good atmosphere

Been to Taberna Etrusca several times now. On every occasion the service has been great and the food very nicely cooked and delicious. We did find the noise levels high, but I suppose that’s the downside when visiting a popular restaurant in the city. Will definitely be visiting again.

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!!

Had a lovely meal here, felt like a real Italian restaurant - food was nice and we enjoyed what we had - service was exceptional. Really enjoyed the wine selection having some italian gems that you don't usually see on a wine menu. The bottle of San Gimignano took us right back to Toscana

Fantastic place and even better food!

We went after work on a Thursday and they were thankfully able to accommodate. The macaroncini with veal ragu was incredible! Highly recommend and will be having dreams about it until I go back.

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 ..

Broad menu. Very tasty. Friendly service

Very good restaurant - food, service, ambience are all superb.

Brilliant place, they looked after the group I was so impressed with the service, fantastic!!

Delicious meal with friendly and efficient service. A nice traditional Italian restaurant.

Very hospitable , attentive service, food was good ! Great lunch

The restaurant never fails to provide good food and good service.

Just a great place. Proper Italian. Good food , good staff.

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.

A hidden gem, superb Italian cuisine.

The service was friendly and the food was good. It wasn't noisy so it was easy to have a conversation.

I would recommend going to this amazing restaurant. Ignore the bad comments - they work so hard to accomodate you and the food is delicious and beautifully fresh and prepared well. There was a table of 13 of us yesterday and they have a cosy room downstairs. It was for a leaving do. It was spot on and I’d highly recommend going there

Great but certainly not cheap so a good place to entertain your bank manager.

Reliable Italian restaurant in the heart of the City of London

Lugar concurrido. Mesas algo juntas. Decoración elegante. Mesa muy bien servida. Menú variado y muy abundante. Cocina excelente. Servicio cercano, amable y dispuesto. Precio razonable.Repetir y aconsejar.

Really good food. Some meals better than others but really good, great service and atmosphere. Was lucky enough to get one of the last tables but would recommend booking.

I was very lucky again with the choice of restaurant as the food and service was excellent.

Fantastic Restaurant. Very Efficient Staff & Excellant Food Manager very efficient We had a 50th Anniversary,would repeat it,anyday

Excelente servicio, cocina buenísima.

Excellent restaurant italien, bonne cuisine, bon service, prix corrects

It feels like home. Delicious food ( Italian of course ) best service, lovely classy place , very clean and comfy. The music on the background is a bit too old, but maybe good for the '70 nostalgics. Will return next time I'll have a job in Bank

I have been here previously with friends and used my Tastecard however this time as soon as I mentioned using it I was made to feel bad and only able to have certain food which was embarrassing for myself and friends . Would not recommend or come back

Great food and excellent service

The pasta was over cooked and the sauce was very bland. Seriously overpriced for the quality of food. When I complained they were very defensive saying they sell lots of pasta dishes! There are plenty of other better options in the city. Don’t go here.

Food is okey, but the waiter's attitude is really bad.

Charming Italian restaurant with great atmosphere. The food was also really good.

Good hospitality, fabulous food in a comfortable space.

The food and service are always excellent. Highly recommended.

A gem of a place, so glad we discovered it. Wonderful food and fabulous wine. A good time was had by all. Will certainly make this a regular for evening meals out in London

Great portions, good service, excellent prices, classic old Italian, can hear eachother speak - a gem in the centre!

The food incredible, thank you so much

Nice cozy place near bank station. It has good food and we loved the outdoor seating

The Food was ok but nothing Special ...the Service was good ...Had a Table Outside

Amazing food and kind service in the heart of the city. We’ll be back. I recommend the fish.

Authentic Italian food in London, best fried zucchini I can remember, recommend linguine and clams. Great Italian restaurants always have grappa…this place does.

Had the clam pasta à la carte for lunch with some friends. The food itself was alright, but when the bill came we were overcharged for our mains. The price was listed as 16.5 but on the receipt we were charged 21.5 each. My friends ordered the lobster ravioli which was also listed as 16.5 and were also charged 21.5 This is a dishonest establishment. Please do not come here.

Perfect mid week venue for entertaining colleagues from the US. Everything was spot on.

Always a good meal in this trusty traditional Italian

I was very pleased with Taberna Etrusca. I need to come back and try more of their food, I am sure it would be good. Service was very good with nice and attentive staff.

The food is great and the service is very good.

Our family of 13 made reservations here 2 hours before we showed up. They had a table ready. The food was amazing.

Surprised about the rating of this place, prawns were obviously frozen, chicken was very poor. I've eaten in many city places, this is easily the worst I've been to. Avoid!

great city restaurant with good food and service and a courtyard to enjoy will come back

Fantastic romantic, authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of the City in a quiet alley. Food is super delicious (swordfish especially) and great value of money. Strongly recommended!

Regular haunt, brilliant service. Personally I love to sit outside in the terrace area and have a great relaxed lunch.

Cozy and comfortable space, staff are friendly and all food are fabulous of course. Everybody loves.

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.

Do not recommend The food was stale and flavourless The prices shown on the menu are misleading as they’ve written a £5 surcharge is applicable if you decide to have it as a main, which wasn’t made clear We also weren’t asked if we wanted to make it a main Very very overpriced for the quality, which was not good at all The waiters were friendly at least It was also weirdly not busy, a big restaurant with maybe 4 tables filled Do not recommend at all

Old school Italian. Nice attentive service, a bit pricey but expected for its location, portion size was very generous though.

Great service, very friendly, and delicious food

Lively and authentic Italian restaurant with really good food. One of my favourite lunch venues

Wonderful tasty meal with family and extra touch from the team of a birthday dessert Xx

Average italian food. Starters were cold and mains were just decent. Burrata came with avocado sauce and carpaccio with tomato sauce. Overpriced as well. Just avoid the place.

A bit of a touristy place, with nothing especially inviting or Italian about the menu other than the name of the dishes. The "carpaccio," for example, was cut a bit thick and was covered by tomato paste and some rucola but the combination was nothing exciting or tasty. Service was OK but the restaurant is a bit shabby. Finally the prices were way high for this restaurant

Outstanding. Can’t believe I have never been here. The place was packed. The service and staff were exceptional and the food was just out of this world. This is a serious contender for best Italian in London

Food was good, but my colleague found a hair in her food and it took a lot of time to get her replacement plate and no discounts were offered for their fault or delay

Awful Rude stuff Aggressive staff Extremely disrespectful to vegetarians Would never go again
