Tavolino Bar & Kitchen in Southwark

Lovely experience, but for the price the food could be better. For example, I’ve ordered sea bass. It only came with some shredded zucchini. No potatoes, no salad, no any other type of side, so was a bit disappointing. The service though was excellent!!!

I wanted to give a thank you to the main host today for being hospitable. I was very frustrated initially as there was miscommunication with my booking, which didn't get the better of me. She was very understanding and patient with me and offered commentary drinks to make up for the fuss. It is greatly appreciated - L

Niki provided a great service ! The food was delicious. Thank you

Very good restaurant, thanks to the waiters a man and Niki

Stunning views of Tower Bridge and great atmosphere. Food is overpriced for what it is, I guess the view adds to the price but I’d recommend to make an effort on the menu to justify the prices.

Go for the basil panna cotta, you won't regret it!

Decent food Attentive service Great views of Thames, Tower Bridge and the Tower itself Convenient for London Bridge station

Great service from Siraj who was kind!! The food was amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was awesome, the menu was awesome, the staff were quite welcoming. The view was so good we actually saw the Tower Bridge open up. The only downside was that the kids menu was too small: only three meals!

Tavolino has become one of our favorite places to eat in London. My daughter absolutely loves this place. The food is always well-prepared, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is welcoming without being too formal. What truly sets it apart is the amazing view over the Thames – right by Tower Bridge, with clear sightlines to the Tower of London, City Hall, and even the HMS Belfast. It’s especially magical after the sunset when the bridge lights come on.

This Spot ist Perfect for a Nice Family Dinner, breakfist or for lunch. We were here with my Friends and had a very nice Experimence

Great food with fantastic service and an amazing view. I highly recommend a visit, especially if you're not in London often.

The basest restaurant I visited Cake was too solid I ordered coffee extra hot but they bring it too cold Staff was unfriendly and they didn’t respect the customer When you want to pay no one serves you, they take long time I will never visit again

I liked the food, we had the pesto pasta, lamb pasta, beef carpaccio and for dessert the mascarpone cheesecake. I think food is okay but nothing spectacular other than the lamb pasta and the beef carpaccio those two were really good and would order them again. The mascarpone cheesecake was 2/5 would not recommend it or repurchase again, it was bad. Service was okay but the waiting time for food was a little bit longer than expected and I noticed the food had been under a heating lamp for a while before they brought it to us. The ambiance was good and the view amazing 10/10. Overall I would give this a 3.5/5

Amazing food. Fantastic service (thank you Alex and all the great staff). And the views of Tower of London, HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge are great.

Amazing view of Tower Bridge. Great menu choice. Delicious food and wine. EXCELLENT service! Special mention to our waiter Alexandros....thank you! :)

Aneta welcomed us with a big smile at the host and made sure we got the table with the best view. Aidan provided terrific service — we really enjoyed his recommendations and had a lovely evening at your venue. Thanks to Aneta and Aidan for making our evening even better than we could have imagined. 🩷

Everything was perfect, food, staff, music, people, view of tower bridge was beatiful, we were very happy and see you soon :)

Fantastic view and food. Recommended the budino by Alessandra and it was phenomenal. I would like budino every day of the year

The food is average The location is great Felt very touristy and rushed Probably more of a work meal location versus cute date/friends meal.

Buena exelente comida todo rico nos atendieron bien la pasamos bien el servicio fue buena la experiencia yvtodo gue miy bieno

Rip off - they add tip to bill, then get you to add one when paying as well.

Thank you for a great lunch, my wife and I enjoyed it and thanks to Siraj he really looked after us- excellent service

As it was a nice day we picked this restaurant due to being outside by the river. We booked a table for 7 guests on a Tuesday lunchtime over the phone and tried to reserve outside seating but was informed this was first come first serve. It was 2 of us hosting clients so we arrived 30 minutes earlier to try and get a table. There were for 4 tables for 4 available and a table for 2 available scattered across the outside seating however the front of house manager/seating organizer was incredibly unaccommodating to make a table of 7 for us (we advised we were happy to squeeze on a table for 6). Firstly they said there was no way they could ask a table who had literally just arrived before us to move one table along so that they could push two tables together to make it work. Then she said there was a table for 2 who might be moving near one of the tables for 4 but then proceeded to seat people who arrived after us at that table for 4 saying that 'they cant block guests from sitting there' even though we were there first and there were other tables for 4 they could sit at. There was also a table for 4 (2 tables of 2 pushed together) with two people sitting at it drinking wine and a table for 4 next to it which could be simply moved across and would have worked perfectly but again, they said they didn't want to disturb those guests in anyway even though they weren't even using the second half of the table in anyway. Luckily by the time the clients arrived who were willing to wait 10 mins a table became free for them to move although it was in the shadiest part and extremely windy (cant completely blame the restaurant for the weather I suppose...) The food quite mediocre compared to some of the delicious restaurants available just a short walk away in Borough, especially for the price. The starters were basic with the pizzettas being quite dry. the n'duja arancini was really tasty. lamb ragu I quite enjoyed but agreed with the others that it was very 'lamby' and didn't have much taste or other flavours expected such as tomato or garlic. One client had the spicy pork and n'duja tagliatelle ragu which he did say was really nice. The desserts were a bit of a let down with the 'cheesecake' being more like a coffee mousse served in a cocktail glass and tasted like the Tiramisu. We are lucky to eat out a lot as part of the industry I work in and this was subpar at best and feels like a tourist trap due to the views of Tower Bridge. I really hate to leave a negative review and overall am quite easy going however I found the whole experience really frustrating and if we hadn't been with clients I would have walked away after 5 minutes. It really was disappointing and think the front of house staff need complete training on how to accommodate guests. For larger bookings there should be some ability to reserve seating outdoors and/or staff better prepared to accommodate these guests.

Just by the Thames with a view directly to Tower Bridge and Tower - Excellent place with very nice Italian food. Everything we had was superb - not big selection but not necessary when it’s this good.

Loreta has been very attentive and auggested good drink! BROWNIE not good and ice cream tasteless. Loreta is very hospitable. ps the manager is velcoming.

Such an Amazing Restaurant! Very nice Personal, an Amazing view and the best Food in London! Best mate was siraj!! XD ❤️

Absolutely beautiful food. We had such a lovely waiter Peter. Made our evening. Thank you so much.

Absolutely gorgeous food, lovely service from Peter and an amazing view 😍

Niki was fantastic, from start to finish during our recreation, very attentive and made our experience even more enjoyable

Everything was great, and Tori was extremely helpful and attentive.

Exquisite!! I can’t remember who served us but I came for a meal with my mum. Wonderful service and great service. Props to you all. Even the manger came over and asked if I enjoyed my meal. Will definitely return when I’m next in London. Excellent work guys. Great team you have !

Amazing view and prices. Presentation is 10/10. Kajal was so lovely and made sure to make our time feel special. We came for a birthday and she made sure to get us the best seat and treatment.

Food was very good and Loreta provided amazing service.

Lovely restaurant with an incredible view, I was struck by how affordable the spot was as the atmosphere and aesthetics were 10/10. Service was a little slow but we had plenty of time to linger so can’t complain too much

Excellent food and service for our evening meal. Loreta was very attentative and always attending the table for any queries.

Loreta was an excellent waitress. She went above and beyond to make sure that we were more than happy on our trip to London! Keep up the great work Loreta!

I must admit that the food qas suprisingly delicious. I actually didnt expect that in this place near Towet bridge. Staff was okay, but payment little pissed me off, If you pay by card on terminal is possible to leave a tip even (i think there was 10% and more) even if they automatically charge you 12,5% service fee. I rly dont like this attitude, bcs if somebody doesnt check they receipt, he will pay the “tip” two times.

Niki took very good care of us during our dinner. We are very satisfied.

Lovely meal & great service from Niki. Thank you!

Had lovely food and a great experience with Niki as our waitress, thank you!

Peter was an amazing waiter. Very attentive.

Kajal was our lovely server! Food was lovely and atmosphere is great with the view but a little loud.

We had an amazing meal at Tavolino and was waited on by Tori who was fantastic, professional and really made our evening.

Very good address with a view of Tower Bridge. Tori and her team were very welcoming! I recommend :)

A unique dining experience with unbeatable views of Tower Bridge and the Thames. Great food, relaxing atmosphere, and the perfect spot for a special occasion!

The waitress Loretta was nice and professional

Lovely place, Nikki was the one who looked after us!

Wonderful experience here yesterday. We were given the table we wanted and were served delicious dinner. To top it off, views from here are amazing!

Absolutely stunning views of the Bridge, Tower and HMS Belfast. Food is fantastic esp the Frito Misto and other seafood dishes. Wine is lovely and service is incredible! So patient and professional esp when you have kids! Pricey but worth it! Will be back!

Amazing venue with the greatest view of Tower Bridge. Group of 9, everyone loved the food they ordered. Table service from Peter was excellent.🤌🏻

Thank you for giving us such a great experience! Our team loved the article, the waiters were absolutely helpful and always around to serve us, the food was delicious and the portions were very generous. Thank you for everything!!

Great service from Loretta , best food advice

Lovely views over the river Thames and the service was good. However, the food was really disappointing. I had the prawn tagliatelle, which was bland and luke warm. Asked for some extra chilli's on the side, which they charged us for. Quite laughable really.

Everything was great but i mentioned before my visit that one of the party members were gluten free and the options were very limited. Apart from that everything was great.

We are currently sitting in the TAVOLINO restaurant. There is a lack of politeness towards the guest. Although the staff is slightly stressed, the empty glass should remain on the table until the end of the stay! Too loud atmosphere! Felt rush! No second visit!

great food great service thx niki

Great food and great view. Service from Niki is impeccable. Would love to visit this place again!

Go for the view the rest is bang average…

This restaurant is in a stunning location on the banks of the Thames with views of the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and many City office blocks. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very friendly but I was not so impressed with the food. Sorry.

Everything was great! Thank you very much to the staff!

Great, Loretta looked after us fabulously

Very good food. The view is perceft. Perfect service by Siraj!

My server Peter was outstanding. So attentive and knowledgeable!

1 star for the sweetest receptionist who was the only star in the restaurant giving us a very warm welcome. See photos for the full story...

The food was very good and reasonably priced, and I was really enjoying the experience—until the end. I was offered water in a way that made it seem complimentary, but the waitress brought a bottled one without clarifying the cost. In the end, I was shocked to see that £5 out of my £21 bill was just for the water. That’s outrageous. What started as a great visit quickly turned sour due to this dishonest practice. I won’t be coming back to a place that treats customers this way.

The location is very beautiful with a spectacular view of Tower Bridge. As often happens abroad, when you enter an Italian restaurant you expect some Italian to work there... or at least you find the menu in Italian too. Well! This is not the case in this place, never mind... the shocking thing was the fact that as soon as they brought the first courses, we still had to start eating, they told us if we wanted anything else because the kitchen was closing (10.00 pm)... I would like to point out that they brought us the first courses at around 9.30 pm. This thing, regardless of the place and how we ate (so-so), really annoyed me also because we had a guest and we weren't even able to order dessert. We were literally thrown out with great elegance. We definitely won't be back.

Had amazing food and the view is perfect for dates and family functions. They had amazing party upstairs and we were down but the view and service is amazing. Thank you Sonali for welcoming us with smile and was extremely friendly.

Had an amazing dining experience at Tavolino London! The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. What really made the evening special was the warm and attentive service from Sonali. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt welcome and taken care of throughout our meal. Her genuine hospitality added such a lovely touch to the whole experience. Highly recommend this place, can’t wait to come back!

very good food and the waiter Mohammed has very good suggestions, I recommend

Loreta is very friendly and very professional

Nice view over tower bridge… service is fine… the rest is pretty underwhelming. The food is not bad as say however the portion are way too small given the price and the dressing… lol… it makes me feel like a chef

I really enjoyed my dinner here! We had Loretta as our waiter and she was incredible and all of the food was really good. I highly recommend eating here.

Very nice place to eat with views of Tower Bridge and skyscrapers. Good music too

Everything very tasty and fast, Loretta was very attentive to us!

We were served by Loreta and she was extremely attentive and the food was so good

Superb location overlooking HMS Belfast, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Plenty of seating. Good Italian food and service.

Тhank you for the service Sonali, she is great. love this place because of her

A racist Restaurant we experienced in London . Your food is very delicious, but it won’t save your restaurant if your employees are rude and the service is poor. First, as soon as we entered, the woman was already unapproachable. Second, we asked if we could sit upstairs, but we were told that it wasn’t allowed—even though there were people seated upstairs. Third, we asked if there was a charger, and the server said he doesn’t know because he was new, didn’t even check if they have , fourth, the last order with my friend came late, that we needed to asked and follow up…. Summary was, maybe we are Asian, that they were think we cant afford to dine in a Restaurant.

We would definitely recommend this place for its great atmosphere and authentic Italian cuisine!

Love this place! Muhammed was great!!

I visited your restaurant today, and at the entrance I was greeted by a very friendly hostess named Anetta. She was extremely welcoming, made a great first impression, and immediately gave me a positive feeling about the place.

It was a great experience, everything was so good with this food and view, just a great Italian restaurant 🥰🥰 It was a wonderful experience. The food and the scenery were all great. It's a really great Italian restaurant 🥰🥰

Food was of great quality and taste. Thank you Loretta for the great service!

I wish they put us by the window to enjoy the view. Loretta thank you 🥰

Delicious meal, at the foot of Tower Bridge. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I recommend 👍 Delicious meal, in front of Tower Bridge. The waiters were very welcoming & kind. I recommend 👍

Very good food. The mark of a good Italian is how well they do the vegetarian dishes (although if any Italian can't do a Ragu, you should walk away). My ricotta and spinach pasta and sauce was excellent. Lots of flavour. Also liked the chickpea fritters (even though they were more like polenta bites texturally). The lemon mayo accompaniment was delicious. Service was good and prompt and the place had a good atmosphere. Would happily go again.

Everything was perfect. I highly recommend the baratta and focaccias. Apps were delicious and Loretta took great care of us.

A very nice restaurant, a bit noisy.

I really enjoyed the location, view was amazing, food was great. I appreciate the fact that despite getting our orders wrong twice, we were served with the correct food items and staff were lovely and apologetic. The ambience is all in my opinion! Their Buffalo pizza, prawn and sun dried tagliatelle, and ricotta and spinach stuffed pasta were finger licking good and ingredients were super fresh I could tell!

Very varied Italian food and cocktails. Spectacular views of the Thames

You're definitely paying for the view, not the food. It wasn’t bad, but the portions were either really small—especially on the kids' menu—or just too expensive for what you got. As a one-off for a special meal, it was lovely, but I wouldn’t go back otherwise

Loretta was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive and delivered wonderful service. Would highly recommend!

Loretta was amazing! Such a fun place to have dinner. Don’t miss eating here - food and service 5 stars!!!

Went for dinner and drinks when visited friends in London. Great food and welcoming staff. Beautiful view of London Bridge form upstairs. Was bit loud and echoey, but would definitely recommend

Had a wonderful time here, food, dynamic, customer service all 10/10. Real enjoyed myself;Special thank you to Sonali really gave it her all.

Loretta gave excellent service and was really helpful. Thank you

The food was amazing. We were served by Loretta who provided incredible service!

Ignored and then rude. Don't bother.

Celebrated my fathers 90th Birthday here and the service was excellent from start to finish. Food also good and location fantastic. Well worth a visit
