The Don Italian Restaurant in Southwark

Restaurant italien sans Pizza... Frite médiocre Les prix sont correct. Peut faire mieux surtout vu l'emplacement de celui-ci. La serveuse vous attrape dehors pour vous faire manger dans ce resto.

Suasana makan malam sangat enak, interior ruangan sangat elegean. Masakan italia cukup banyak pilihan dengan kualitas rasa super lezat.

가격이 리즈너블하면서도 음식 수준은 나름 준수합니다. 가족이 운영하는 것으로 알고 갔는데, 그래서 그런지 모두 친절하고 충분히 만족스러웠습니다.

La comida era realmente precioso. Mi marido pidió tagliatelle con vieiras, tuve que enviar la primera vuelta ya que sabía que ofrece pero crédito a la quemada restaurante tomaron volver sin problemas y enviaron fresca, que era preciosa. Los precios son muy razonables y un servicio amable, volvería otra vez.

Teniendo en cuenta su superturistica ubicación, muy buena relación calidad-precio. Si estás por los alrededores de la Torre de Londres o del Tower Bridge, no lo dudes.

El Don es un agradable y familiar restaurante italiano. La comida es deliciosa y a un precio razonable, el vino es excelente. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite la ciudad.

My daughter and I had been looking for a place to eat one evening and we were irritated by the expense of the restaurants overlooking the river. We came across this place by chance on a Tuesday evening eat about 9pm - we easily got a table and were quickly served a pleasant waitress. The menu seemed to be a nice selection of Italian staples but I'm very suspicious of pasta and risotto in restaurants as they are frequently very poorly cooked. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and went with her choice - Spaghetti all Carbonara. My daughter had Seafood Linguini. Both arrived and had clearly been freshly prepared and cooked - both were very good, my apprehension about poorly cooked pasta was unfounded here. All in all, a charismatic place (not like a chain) with good Italian food and service.

I went here after a trip to London with my wife and children for lunch. We ordered mains only, wife and I had pizza and the children also had mains, which to be fair were ok. Our pizzas were like the ones I use to buy as a student, 2 for 4 pounds. I am convinced they came from a food company or a supermarket - they were flavourless and like cardboard. We asked for ice cream for the children, vanilla and strawberry, only vanilla turned up. By this time I was so shocked at the size of the bill, having only having had four halves of peroni and a distinctly warm glass of white wine i couldn't be bothered to say anything. I won't be going back, £100 for something I could have eaten 18 years ago with some Spa beer for under a fiver in my student halls. This review gets two, because the waiter was decent. He had to be.

Ik heb een zuivelallergie, en heb bij binnenkomst gevraagd of dat een probleem was. Dat was het niet, ik kon zonder zuivel/kaas bestellen. Maar toen ik uiteindelijk een pizza met groenten, zonder kaas bestelde, kreeg ik van de ober toch commentaar op mijn keuze. Volgens hem bestelde ik geen pizza en dat heeft hij meerdere keren duidelijk gemaakt. Het was nog niet echt druk toen wij er aan het eten waren, en wij voelden ons de hele tijd door de ober op onze vingers gekeken. Wij zaten dus niet echt lekker relaxed te eten en voelden ons niet op ons gemak. Het alleen bij het hoofdgerecht gelaten en daarna snel weggegaan. Het eten was wel goed, de sfeer echt minder.

Went here on a Saturday night as we were at a nearby bar. It's a great looking restaurant but the place was practically empty most of the time we were there, which usually isn't a good sign. Between our table of 5 we each ordered a starter and a main. The calamari was ok, I didn't try any of the others. For a main I ordered the calzone, but wanted to substitute the mushrooms for jalapenos. I asked the waiter if they could make it without mushrooms which didn't seem to be a problem, but when I suggested jalapenos he didn't know what I meant. We repeated it a few times but he'd genuinely never heard of it. I still think that's absolutely bizarre that someone working in a restaurant doesn't know what a jalapeno is. Either way the calzone was good. Overall the meal wasn't bad, but quite average. The location is really good and the interior is great, the food just wasn't that great

Quello che maggiormente ci ha deluso è stata la poca assistenza del personale che, sebbene italiano, non ha fatto nulla per aiutarci nelle traduzioni degli ingredienti e notevolmente contrariati quando abbiamo chiesto che ci venissero cambiate alcune posate visibilmente sporche. Cibo buono, prezzo alquanto caro.

Very average. I ordered calamari which was over cooked and rubbery. The base of pizza I ordered was very heavy. It was a thinish crust but just stodgy with too much cheese. It was the sort of pizza you get in a pub that doesn't have a pizza oven. They included the calamari on the bill but did agree to remove it.

Leider gab es keine Pizzas, die Lasagne und Pesto-Teigwaren waren dafür ausgezeichnet. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Nice location, just by the Tower Bridge. The staff was friendly. We did the 2 course lunch special. I had the Bruschetta and Pesto Pasta and my family had soup and pizza. The menu sounds fancier than the actual food. It was good but not excellent. It was a good value.

Had been in this restaurant a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I returned yesterday and was disappointed with both the menu, which was a bit restricted and the food. Nice location however decor was tired

beautiful food and beautiful wine,Our service is fast, beautiful night:)) different taste in desserts,waiter very busy next time i have to ask

This restaurant was virtually empty on a Friday night and that was a clue. The waiter was friendly, he hovered, he lingered and he made small talk, a lot of small talk. We joked about it being his first night in the very rare gaps between his visits. I ordered sea bass, which was great, he brought me chicken which was not. I asked for the sea bass and he explained how he thought that he would let me try it because sea bass looks like chicken. Indeed.He disappeared. He returned with the news that there was no sea bass, I asked for a menu. He disappeared. There was an uncharacteristic lull in attention. I asked the other waiter if he could bring me another menu so that I could order and eat in the same time zone as my dining companions. I ordered the steak our original waiter reappeared and asked, somewhat bizarrely 'what happened?'eventually my steak appeared with some free water the obviously frozen chips screamed Iceland My companions chatted, one left most of his risotto because the 'fruity de mere' sic was 'too rubbery to eat' one ordered ice cream, which came, another ordered coffee which did not. When the bill arrived there was good news -I had been charged for the sea bass but not the more expensive steak because of the error however the House Red was charged at more than £25 per bottle, there was a £9.70 service charge clearly not optional, or indeed dependent on service. Don't do it. There is a wetherspoons up the road, the food will be very similar and the service infinitely better.

Sehr gutes Essen und erstklassiger Service. Freundliches und professionelles Personal. Die Lage ist ein Träumchen. Das Restaurant liegt auf der Südseite des Tower Bridges. Great Location, tasty Food, friendly professional staff ...!

I'm not even going to spend time trying to describe how bad this place was - at every level. I'm just going to leave you some photos as warning, and remark that Gordon Ramsay would have a field day with this place. A true disaster of a restaurant.

Byliśmy w Londynie na kilka dni i niestety trafiliśmy do tej restaurac...hmm miejsca gdzie serwuje się coś co przypomina jedzenie.Porazajacy brak umiejętności kulinarnych, kucharza. Niesmacznie,nie zdrowo, a na dodatek moja żona dostała sok owocowy z plesnią.mniam

The ristorante was very clean with staff quick and attentive.selection of food very varied and priced well.lots of staff/customer banter which makes a very pleasant evening.

Prenotato per una cena di lavoro ci hanno lasciato una comoda stanza a disposizione. Cucina nella media, provato un crudo di salmone con formaggio ed un filetto di anatra. In zona c'è di meglio.

Great location, fabulous food and real italian hospitality=a perfect evening. I will definitely be back and recommend it to my friends

Le repas était très bon, avec un bon rapport qualité/prix. Restaurant bien situé, et personnel chaleureux.

We had high expectations and it looks nice both outside and in but the food was dreadful. One of our party had Veal in Breadcrumbs and it was a Bernard Matthews turkey burger. I also had Veal in a mushroom sauce and it was thick and tough and looked like a rough piece of steak. The waitress was nice but she seemed a little embarrassed to be there ... perhaps she was new. Although it was a Saturday night it was virtually empty with only one other table occupied ... by a similarly unimpressed american couple. When there are so many good places to go don't waste your time or money on this place. Very expensive too given the quality of the food.

Très bon accueil, belle endroit et bien placé. Ne parle pas français, mais normal nous sommes en Angleterre. Plat contre le carpaccio de boeuf (bof) un peu sec,( sans huiles quoi).Très bon établissement quand même, vous pouvez y aller sans soucis.

Had a quiet evening meal here with family and was not disappointed. Being a Monday evening the place was very quiet, but the food was very good and the service friendly. I would recommend it and will consider returning if I am in the area again.

I booked through open table for 12/16 of my work colleagues for dinner this evening.The staff were most accommodating, friendly and attentive all through the evening. They knew who ordered what dishes and keep the wine flowing. Good was delicious. Highly recommend

We kwamen hier terecht omdat we niet te ver van het appartement iets wilden eten en andere restaurants vol waren. Gegokt en verloren. Ten eerste moesten we lang wachten. Het eten was matig, vet en niet erg rijk van smaak. De calamari was rubberachtig en de pizza klef. De drank was over de top duur. 7 pond voor een klein glaasje rosé. Niet doen dus!

On our weekend trip to London we stumbled across this restaurant whilst meandering around Tower Bridge. The food was excellent, and service was equally as good. Would highly recommend it

This is a lovely Italian restaurant just along the famous Tower Bridge. I have been here before so I took my friends here for dinner. My friends think we hit the jackpot on this one. It has a very quaint ambiance with a homey feel. Italian music pleasantly filled the air which added appeal to our evening.Our charming Italian waiter was the highlight of our evening. He was helpful when we could not make our minds on what to order. He was very knowledgeable with wine recommendations and food pairings. It is the same service one would normally get in a high-class restaurant and we were very impressed.The food was very good quality and portions were generous. One of my friends was raving about her wild mushroom gnocchi and their pizza's are very delicious and perfectly crisp and well balanced with the toppings. The desserts complimented our meal which was too tempting that we all gave in. I hope they would be able to maintain the same standard when we visited. We will definitely come again.

12 of us went for my wives birthday on a Saturday evening. Place was very quiet. Food was pretty good. Music was horrible lift music. Lights were on full which didn't help atmosphere, no dimming or candles made it like canteen lighting. Service friendly but slow. No acknowledgement that it was a birthday celebration. Probably won't go back

We ate The Don after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. I would highly recommend it! I have eaten out all over London and found this restaurant to have to best food, personal service and ambiance I have encountered. The mushroom gnocchi is amazing! I also recommend the tiramisu and the Irish coffee(which sounds random but is the best after dinner drink I've ever had!). We will definitely go back!

Had dinner here with friends May 2015 while on vacation. Was just a short walk away from our apartment rental. Nice ambience, soft lighting, Italian music in the background all added to the experience. Waiter was exceptional cannot remember his name but was very pleasant and not to mention swift. Didn't have to wait very long for food to arrive at the table. We all had pasta that night which we thoroughly enjoyed. They also have a nice selection of wines. For dessert we had the tiramisu and panacotta. Both of these you must try if dining here. They were totally delicious! Altogether a good experience. Would recommend if in the tower bridge area give them a try. Tower hill station a short scenic walk away.

This restaurant is located right by the Tower Bridge. The decor is nice, the food is very good and fairly priced (for lunch anyway, can't comment for dinner).The only thing I didn't like was being charged for water. The waiter didn't mention a bottle of water, he just asked if I wanted sparkling or plain water. But it might be normal in UK... not sure.I had the bruschetta and it was excellent. The lasagna was different from what I am used too (pasta a bit overcooked to my personnal taste) but still good.However, what sets this restaurant apart is the SUPERB service from the waiter (I am very sorry not to remember his name). He spoke at least three languages (English, Italian and French), he was very attentive to all guests even if he was on his own and he also did his job very well. He took care of not making too much noise while removing plates/silverware (this is a problem nowadays) and you could see him cleaning the tables/chairs with care.

My husband, toddler daughter, our common friend, and I came here for lunch after visiting the tower of London. Being very hungry, we stepped in to the first restaurant we spotted after crossing the tower bridge.We all had the three course lunch menu. For starter, I took creamy vegetable soup. It was spicy, yet delicious, but hadn't seen a drop of cream. My main course lasagna was delicious. Homemade pannacotta's texture felt somehow strange, but flavour was good. Drinks were expensive.There wasn't feeding chair available, but there was space on the table in women's toilet to change diaper. No children's menu, but they had little plates to share our portions with the child.The waiter was very friendly and professional. He even gave us advice about the walking routes. Thanks to him, the lunch experience was memorable, and definitely worth the price!

Fantastic Italian food. Service brilliant, polite and friendly. Food served at the right pace. My wife had the pinot grigio blush and it was magnificent. The tiramasiu was to die for. Lovely night out. Highly recommended.

The Don Italian restaurant is next to Tower bridge, a nice warm and cosy environment perfect for couples and romantic dinning. Food was good and portions were satisfying - we had the lasagne and the carbonara for mains, calamari and scallops for starters and white wine (Torre di giano). What makes me want to definitely want to visit the place again was also the service. Staff is friendly and accommodating making it an overall great experience. Good food is nothing without an equally good customer service. Recommended for either couples or families

Aprovechando la visita al puente decidimos entrar en este lugar que ofrecían un buen menú a buen precio. Podías elegir menú con dos platos o menú con tres platosComida italiana, claro está, para salir bastante satisfecho. La sopa que me sirvieron con el menú estaba exquisita. De segundo unas pizzas que sacan del paso a cualquiera.Los postres también bastante buenos aunque en mi caso decidí tomarme un café expreso por el que me clavaron 2,40 Libras.

VOLEURS !7,2 £ pour deux carafes d'eau !!! soit quasi 8,5 €De plus, rien n'indique que l'eau est payante :(Je dis bien carafe et non bouteille !le menu est attractif par son prix, moins de 10 £Les entrées sont correctes,les pizzas sont les mêmes que vous mettez dans votre four chez vous, (les congelés)Les vins Hors de prix le premier prix à 24 £ un vin de très médiocre qualité,Du coup, on as pris des vulgaires bières à 3.5 £...le verreles cafés chers.les couverts, les tables propres, rien à dire.J'y retournerai bien mais juste pour les traiter de voleurs et d'après moi, les avis très positifs sont FAUX !

Highly recommended by a friend who celebrated his 25th anniversary at “The Don” on Valentine ’s Day, me self and me wife decide to commemorate our 10th anniversary at “The Don” restaurant either.Very friendly at the reception, we had a table situated at the front corner of the restaurant with a beautiful original paint made by an artist named “David Gainford”.Before we took a sit, we were greeted by the waitress who very kindly asked if we wanted to keep out coats at the cloakroom, than the waiter came with the menus and explain us about the specials of the day and asked if we want to have an aperitif drink, me wife had a peach bellini and me self had the classic negroni (Drinks were served promptly and politely).We order for starters cured meet platter and coconut coated prawns with an amazing thyme and mango salsa sauce. For mains, me wife had Grill salmon served with baby new potatoes and Sautee spinach while me self choose the Rib-eye steak served with classic chips, braised tomato Portobello mushrooms, and pepper-corn sauce. Many thanks to our waiter for being very attentive without disturbing our celebration, but most of all for his recommendations about the wine, served with our starters we had white wine “Gavi di Gavi” and with the mains we had the classic “Amarone 2006”. Once again everything ordered was excellent, they are different enough, yet the energy of the manager and the staff are what makes “The Don” restaurant a great place at the bottom of Tower Bridge.We will come back, and we highly recommend this place to a friend.

Great food, the menu was quite varied. Great staff and great location next to Tower Bridge. Recommended..

Me and my boyfriend have been here several times and absolutely love the food and always leave very full so we was more than excited to go here on New Years eve. However we were very disapointed by the portion sizes for £30 each! Don't get me wrong the food was lovely but it just wasn't anywhere near enough especially for the price we paid! We left feeling like we hadn't eaten diner at all!

I and my family went to The Don has we where walking pass the restaurant and we decide to walk in.nice and warm inside, we had a nice welcome.the menu very complete "modern Italian & Britain Stylish food"The Service was awesome, very friendly, attentive top service we ever had in London.we will defenatly come back.

Cercando di mangiare qualcosa di buono (o meglio di mangiare perchè io non riesco a mangiare granchè all'estero) abbiamo trovato questo ristorantino molto carino e molto pulito! Abbiamo mangiato davvero bene: due portate (un piccolo antipasto ed un abbondante piatto di pasta per il mio fidanzato e un fish and chips per me) per un prezzo davvero appetibile! Good!!Da provare.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner here. The food was very yummy....simply but effectively presented, hot and good portion size. The waiter was very jolly and attentive. The atmosphere was good with smart decor and comfortable seating. It was a stylish experience but at an extremely reasonable price. We had driven 70 miles to see the Poppy installation for a second time and the visit to this restaurant completed a memorable evening, before driving back!

We found this by chance having been to see the Poppies. Only 100 yards from Tower Bridge we were warmly welcomed by the staff. Food was good, deliciously hot soup. Meal very reasonably priced, two courses plus glass of wine and coffee each for less than £40.00, including tip. We would definitely dine here again.

Over priced, made worse by charging us £15.00 and £17.00 for two starters which should have been half that price, sorry to say it was the worst pizza I have ever eaten,the pasta arrabiata, which is a simple dish was also poor.Complete waste of good money.

My mother In law and I went to Tower of London to see the poppies but the taxi driver dropped us at the wrong side of the bridge and it was outing with rain. My 12 day old son was in his pram and my mother in law asked if it was ok for me to feed him here. It was 3 in the afternoon and the restaurant was very quiet but the waiter said NO. I'm surprised because I thought it was ok to feed your baby anywhere in the uk. We ordered a cup of tea and left.

found by accident when visiting the Poppies at the Tower of London. It was the first restaurant found having crossed back over Tower Bridge. Extensive menu including lunchtime specials Authentic Italian meals and staff. Nice decor and seating. For central London prices were acceptable. Food was of a high quality as was the service. Would go back if in the area again.

Io e le mie tre amiche dopo aver visitato il tower bridge ci siamo incamminate verso casa e per caso abbiamo visto questo ristorante! FINALMENTE UNA BUONA PASTA! abbiamo ordinato due piatti di carbonara e due di penne all'arrabbiata, consigliate dallo chef(napoletano). Personale gentile e disponibile tra cui un ragazzo che si trova a Londra da 20 giorni e un altro cameriere miltilingue! Prezzi abbordabili nonostante la posizione e nonostante ci si trovi a Londra! Abbiamo pagato 14 sterline a testa! Da provare!

Like thousands of others we went to the Tower of London to view the amazing poppies. After fighting the crowds and not being able to move along the river, we decided to head further back towards London bridge station to find food for three adults, a six year old and two four year olds. Browsing the menu outside, we were greeted by the friendly owner and taken inside. The unassuming exterior doesn't do justice to a beautifully modern, comfortable, interior. We chose from the great value lunch menu - £9.95 for two courses or £11.95 for three. Not a wild choice but for a quick choice absolutely perfect. As well as penne a la arrabiata and risotto there's also burger and fish and chips. Our girls wanted pasta so they very kindly made us the sauce without the chillis - perfect and wolfed down by three hungry kids!! The service is a little slow and it does seem that only one guy speaks enough English to take the orders and speak with the customers whilst the others take food to the tables but that guy is helpfulness personified and by the time we were settled the restaurant was full so they had quite a challenge on their hands. It's not fast food but by goodness it's tasty! Overall the food is great value, super tasty and the place is far more friendly than any other restaurant in the centre of tourist land. We'll definitely be back

We booked expecting a family style local Italian bistro but it so was much more.- From the greeting on arrival we knew this was going to be different. - We had an excellent level of attentive but not intrusive service during the meal - The food was very good and the entire staff, from the waiter to the chef (who came out to chat with us) cater to you.- The decor is in progress as is the menu as a new team/management have plans to take this bistro to another level. I feel they will succeed!My advice is keep an eye on this place

Visitei este restaurante em Agosto. Fiquei muito bem impressionado. Uma excelente comida! Muito bem servido. Os empregados muito simpáticos!Recomendo

Distinctly average restaurant. Warm evening with only a small mobile air conditioning unit to keep us cool. Wine was also wine when it arrived.

I agree with the reviews here that point out how friendly and efficient the service is at The Don. My wife and I like to visit when in London as the food has always been good, the service excellent and the portion sizes fairly generous.I couldn't claim we are regular visitors; only visiting London every couple of years for a weekend getaway, but each time we visit, we have been consistently happy. Of course there are more opulent places to eat in the area, this is London after all, but we like the Trattoria feel of the place and the fact that you feel genuinely welcomed and valued.Will return soon...

Visited here as a treat for my birthday while on holiday with our young son, I'm sorry to say it was average, everything was overlooked, the scallops, garlic bread and steak were all over done in different ways, garlic bread was rock hard, I don't think the quality of the steak was very good before cooking to be honest, very nice restaurant inside and the staff were very friendly, just the cooking let them down

Took the family here for lunch last weekend, and we all loved it, and especially after a long walk from the Tate gallery!. There aren't as many good Italian restaurants in London as they once were, so this one is to be treasured. I'd highly recommend the Tagliatelle Don José (crispy bacon, garlic & chilli - yum).I'll definitely be back as soon as I get the chance.

Tired on the way back to hotel with children in tow. Needed something quick as children starving and this was spot on. Great service, friendly staff and lovely food. If you like simple, good quality Italian you'll be at home here. 5 hygiene rating too.

Nous avons trouvé par hasard ce restaurant aux abords de tower bridge. Le service a été rapide et sympathique. Les pizzas fines sont excellentes.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable dining experience at this southern inspired Italian restaurant. Starters of Mozzarella/avocado/tomato and asparagus with parmesan were as good as we've ever had. We both had fish (monkfish and salmon) as mains and they were each cooked very well. Next time we will try pizzas and pasta.Service was fantastic, friendly, and efficient and the bill was very reasonable given the quality of ingredients.The menu is extensive and I dare anyone not to find something they desire. In a world of chains and trends, this is one old school standout that should be on everyone's must try list (especially if you live in the neighborhood as we do).Well done Don.

Located near the london eye, this Italian restaurant was surprisingly good. The minestrone soup was hot and delicious. The pizza was very good. Pizza could use a little more cheese but had a nice sauce.

ma d'altronde, è già di per sè un controsenso viaggiare e ricercare all'estero buoni ristoranti con cucina del proprio paese.è inevitabile quindi, che vi siano delle contaminazioni: dal troppo aglio nelle bruschette e nella pasta al pomodoro, alla qualità di formaggio e pasta della pizza.tutto sommato però posso dire di aver mangiato bene, il locale è pulito e il personale molto cortese.i prezzi però troppo altri, una pizza margherita costa 12 euro!!

Petit resto sans prétention mais qui sent bon l'Italie : le chef est Italien, le patron aussi derrière son comptoir et les serveuses sont italiennes parlant un peu français très souriantes.Le choix des plats est varié : salade, antipasti, soupe, pâtes, plats a base de viande....Prix correct environ 10 livres avec le serviceUne bonne adresse près du Tower Bridge

Nach dem Besuch bei der Tower Bridge, waren wir dort zum Mittagessen, der Service und die Speisen waren sehr gut. Wir können The Don immer gerne weiter empfehlen.

Entramos después de visitar la zona del london bridge, las pizzas nos gustaron bastante, el postre de tarta de plátano estaba buenisimo, pero la camarera que nos atendió no fue muy agradable con nosotros, el servicio estaba incluido.

We came here on a weekend trip to London, to celebrate my daughter's 7th birthday and a visit from family. We had eaten here one time before, and enjoyed good food. The food this time was also delicious, but it was the service that guaranteed return business. It started with the tv, which had closed captioning, which was showing 40 Year Old Virgin. A hilarious movie, but quite inappropriate for 7 and 11 year old girls. When we asked the waiter if they could change it, he was horrified to discover what was being shown and had it sorted immediately. Dinner and wine were delish. After dinner I asked the waiter if he could add a candle to my daughter's dessert. Not only did they do this, but they lowered the lights and came out singing Happy Birthday. This was so sweet and special and she loved it. When we left they gave her the rose on our table, which made the trip home with us and is in her room. Really wonderful evening. Great location, food, wine, service and prices.

Dopo 2 giorni di schifezze londinesi, tra fish e chips e carne riciclata, finalmente per puro caso ci siamo imbattuti in questo magnifico posto. La pizza che abbiam mangiato era squisita, addirittura meglio di certe pizze che fanno in Italia. Dolce altrettanto buono e tiramisu fatto in casa. Il gestore e il personale molto disponibili e simpatici e, cosa non da poco, parlano benissimo italiano. Se torno a Londra non posso non fermarmi qua

Excellent l'Italie dans notre assiette. Attention portion généreuse pour les pasta. Tiramisu maison mmmiiammmm .le serveur fait l'effort de parler français si vous le désirez. Personnel souriant

Came here with my friend and had the best tasteful dinner ever price also worth the food would recommend to everyone and the wine was splendid felt like I was in Italy.

Having lived by tower bridge for many years now I never went to the Don, wow what a mistake , the restaurants food is to die for, Michelin star food at a reasonable price, I will definitely be going back again very soon.

I took my girl here for our 1 year together because I wanted something special..had the Calzone & she had the Rollini di Pollo & I must say..i surely scored some points as she said it's the best, most tastiest Italian food she's ever had in London! We are now regular customers..ofcurse :)

Excellent food, service, price!!! thanks to The Don. I were with 3 friends. We popped in just, it was full of people. Now I decide to write a view about the restaurant because that was soooo gooooddddd.. Than I see few negative view. I think they never been in bad restaurant maybe.Because if the staisfied customer write the wiev about ''The Don'' 1000 and 1000 staisfied customer I see come in and out from that restaurant. I talk with Chef Gino, he said The restaurant been here 32 years. If you survive in 32 years in same plaice, that 32 years tell all to customers. It is been verything still excellent..Fernando...

We chose this restaurant by coincidence. It is located in a fantastic area where is the tower bridge.The quality of the food at this restaurant is extremely high, and matched by every aspect of experience. The service was excellent , the staffs were very kind and professional. We loved being at this restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone for sure.

tower bridge with friends at the Italian restaurant we went to frost. adorned with rich menu with reasonable prices. I came very affordable. I can go again.

Ate at the Don on the Friday 3/1/14.Its a small family run italian restaurant,located on tower bridge ,London.A very friendly place,good food,excellent service. The lager&beers aren't the cheapest,but it is London ,and a decent wine is around £21per bottle.There is a 10per cent service charge added to the bill,which ain't bad for London.The total bill for our party of four was near enough £160,including lager(peroni) wine and service charge.We all agreed that we would eat there again if we went back to the capital,and I would recommend this place to family & friends.(pre booking is advised).

We ended up where from walking across the Tower Bridge from the Tower of London. The restaurant was quiet but service was a bit slow with only 3 other tables with customers. The food was delicious and very flavorful. The lunch specials are pretty affordable and you have to make sure you tell them you are wanting the lunch special cause you could possible be changed regular price if not. Regular priced items are a bit high.

We stopped in for dinner because it was the first place we saw after crossing the tower bridge. Had we read the reviews first, we may have passed and are glad that we did not. We had the spaghetti and the salmon and spinach. Both were excellent and the service was very good. The restaurant was empty; but it was early.

I've been there with a friend of mine after a quick visit in London bridge. The restaurant was empty, not really inviting and no way elegant. Nobody was on the floor when we popped in. The waiter (no uniform or apron) was sitting in front of a laptop. The food was average, the service very slow and impersonal. We had two pasta dishes absolutely tasteless. When we left the floor was still empty and the chef was talking (Turkish I think ) with the waiter and laughing very loud. The bill was expensive and nobody asked us why we didn't finish our meal. If you really like Italian food run in the opposite direction as fast as you can.

I visited this restaurant, like many people, after a visit to Tower Bridge. It is very close, and much more reasonably priced than many restaurants in the area. However, despite having friendly staff, the food was very slow in coming, despite the place being nearly empty. All 4 of our party had ordered pizza, and the order was mixed up with that from an adjacent table. They were very tough, overcooked, and lacked any tomato sauce. I won't bother going there again!

We had lunch here after a visit to Tower Bridge. It was convenient since the location was just at the end of the bridge.Atmosphere of the place was great. However, we found that the food and service were rather average, nothing special. We ordered clams with double cream, margherita pizza, and spaghetti carbonara. The pasta and pizza tasted just average, but the clams were better.Overall, it was just an average experience.

Situated close to Tower Bridge on the opposite side of the river from the Tower Castle. Ate lunch here. Pasta in tomato sause...maybe I should rather have eatern lasagne...?Friendly service.

I arrived in London quite late and was staying on Tower Bridge Road, I took a short walk and stumbled across this restaurant, looks very unassuming from outside and I didn't know what to expect.The restaurant was quite quiet, the staff very attentive.The place is quite small, nice and clean and a mixture of traditional and budget modern.I ordered scallops, calamari and cherry tomato starter, the sea food was cooked to perfection and very tasty.I had spag bol for main course, large portion very tasty.All round a great little restaurant.

Food was great and the service was very good.I had THE BEST calamari I have ever had, Followed by a Pasta dish that was brilliant.Reasonably Priced. at the bottom of Tower Bridge so in a great location.

Stepping inside from a busy road leading up to the south side of Tower Bridge, this restaurant is a friendly, clean and welcoming oasis. Italian staff (a plus in London) nicely prepared and served Italian food and very attentive service just ticked all the boxes.Lunchtime specials make it extra affordable, especially if visiting London with children.Tip: We lunched there before a visit to the Design Museum which is just around the corner.Will be back.

We decided on The Don partly because of the proximity to our apartment and partly because of mixed reviews. It was ok but not great. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her main course but everything else was just ok, not that fantastic. The service was good and efficient with attention to detail with the filling of glasses etc. I had lasagne which was a little bland. My partner had carbonara - he's fussy about this so I was doubtful. However he didn't send it back and so this was a definite positive! Overall it was a nice evening but I feel the food could have been better but that could be a question of taste.I also never like the addition of service charge which takes away my choice of whether to tip or not.

Sign outside advertised lunch menu for 6.95 pounds, no lunch menu and charged me 8 pounds for a bowl of spaghetti with cheese for my son. When I questioned the price I was given no reason...never returning.

Proche de la tour, le cadre est agréable. La cuisine est bon. L'addition un peu salée. Cuisine italienne simple, bien présentée personnel agréable. On y parle français.

Nice italian restaurant very close to the tower bridgeI liked this place, very descent.Quite and romantic, good service.Food quality is OK.Price is the food you get.

We visited this restaraunt on a family weekend away. The waitress was very "snippy" I didn't think the service was worth the mandatory 10% tip that was automatically added. The food was average and not worth the money that we paid. I wouldn't visit this restaraunt again!

This is one really good Italian restaurant the owner reminds me of the god father in the film and the restaurant has lots of authentic Italian dishes that most do not have such as osso bucco etc

Myself, husband and daughter recently spent the weekend in London and were looking for somewhere to eat near our Hotel (Tower Bridge) when we found The Don. The decor was beautiful, warm and inviting. We were greeted by a lovely waitress who made us feel totally welcome and took our very wet coats without hesitation.We placed our order and had drinks served promptly and politely. The waitress was so friendly, asking about our stay and making recommendations about the food and really made us feel important. I only wish all waiting staff were as attentive as she was - she should be totally proud of herself.The food arrived and we were more than pleased, the portion sizes were excellent, food piping hot and delicious - highly recommended. The prices were really reasonable for cental London.When we are next in London we will definitely be going back - it was superb.Jan, Steve & Freya Curtis

Nous sommes allés dans ce restaurant à midi, il y avait peu de monde, le service est rapide, impeccable et le repas parfait, très bien présenté et excellent! (pour moi, plat de pâtes à la sauce tomate chili) L’ambiance est très agréable (musique Andréa Bocceli), c'est très chaleureux. Même les toilettes sont très bien: magnifique miroir géant....Bref, vraiment à conseiller.

Given the location of this restaurant by Tower Bridge, it was great to see that the food quality and atmosphere remained that of a small traditional restaurant and not a tourist spot. In particular the goats cheese and peppers stood out as a starter I would recommend!Definitely worth a try.

Celebrated my birthday here and the staff went out of their way to make my evening special...even providing an impromptu birthday cake (a large portion of tiramisu with a candle!!).....beautiful traditional food,very romantic setting...and right next to Tower Bridge....couldn't fault this place if I tried.

Most of the restaurants near the Tower and in St Katherine's dock are fairly average but by walking across Tower Bridge you will find the excellent Italian, The Don.

I went here in Christmas Eve and was very disappointed. I ordered an expensive glass of wine which was the only decent thing I got. The asparagus I had for starters were old and stringy. They were swimming in butter (meant to be), but had so little flavour. I was asked if I wanted pepper and although I said yes, one twist of the grinder and the waiter was off! I wasn't in the mood for making a fuss so I left it. I was amazed at the speed of service. I honestly though it would take longer than 30 seconds from order to delivery of the asparagus ( ok an exaggeration but it wasn't long enough to have cooked them from scratch). The main of penne arabiata was again served within a millisecond of clearing away the starter. It was tasteless and boring. Don't think I will be going back here again.

De gerechten zijn niet echt Italiaans en volgens mijn gastheer was de christmas pudding die ik kreeg niet zoals die in Engeland hoortvtevzijn, namelijk groot.Wijn was prima.Eten lekker maar niet heel bijzonder.

I was staying locally for a couple of nights in the nearby Premier Inn. The restaurant in the hotel is actually okay - it's not Gordon Ramsay but it's reliable solid food - but I like to eat out when I stay over in London. Having tried the nearby (and excellent) Indian the previous evening I decided to go Italian on the second night. The restaurant looked nice from the outside and it was relatively busy for a Tuesday night. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and a portion of garlic bread, a Peroni and a glass of Merlot. The Peroni was great, the wine tasted like a really cheap French supermarket wine, the garlic bread was just okay and the pizza was the most disappointing. I expected something better than Dominoes. What I got was much worse. It looked and tasted like something that had been bought from the frozen food section in Sainburys. I was starving and I ate every scrap - but there was no enjoyment in it. I didn't complain - I did eat all the pizza after all, but it just wasn't the standard I'd expect from an Italian restaurant. I hadn't checked reviews before I went here and I was quite surprised to see high average ratings. Maybe I was there on an 'off' night. But I won't be back, there are too many other places that I know I will get a good meal in - including the Premier Inn!

We had pasta and garlic bread for our evening meal. The food was lovely and the portion size was generous, the staff were attentive and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. The setting is also wonderful, it is right next to Tower Bridge. The price was reasonable for central London too, it cost us about £40 for our two meals, side orders and drinks.
