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.

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

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.

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

I recently visited scarpetta in London, and unfortunately, it fell far short of my expectations. I was really looking forward to the meal, but the pasta was a big letdown, it was so dry and cold. When I saw back to see the chef it was an Indian university students– the food lacking flavor and freshness. The cocktails also missed the mark; they didn’t have the quality or taste I was hoping for. The service was great, which I do appreciate, but overall, it was a disappointing experience. I’d rate my visit 3/10.

Our last dinner in London- we saved the best to last. Bocconcino is a quaint, hip restaurant in Mayfair with an emphasis on Tuscan food. We had a selection of small bites, including amazing calamari with a mayo sauce. Then came carpaccio And the pasta! Maybe the best pasta we've had in the London. Wild boar pappardelle, and seabags ravioli. And of course a great bottle of wine - a hard to find aglianico that had amazing character, working perfectly with the food. Grazie Mille!

Yesterday, 29 Oct 2024, was the first time I have ever visited a Franco Manca. Never again. We went pre theatre. We waited over 30 mins to be served. In the end my friend had to go to the front of the store to ask if it was okay for our order to be taken? During that 30 min wait where we waited, we wasn’t even asked if we would like a drink! Beyond embarrassing, customer service non existent, what a waste of time it was. Honestly, the food wasn’t up to much either.
