I had an excellent pizza. The service is attentive. The decor is fresh and homely. Would definitely recommend and come back. read more

I was not even hungry when we went there during lunch and ended up quickly wiping out my pizza. Quite delicious four cheese pizza is strongly recommended. read more

Always fantastic food and service. It's a must visit place whenever I'm in London. Highly recommend the Diavola pizza!

We stumbled upon Bianco 43 last Sunday while mooching about Greenwich trying to decide where have lunch before taking in a movie at the Picture House. The paint looked fresh, it's only been open a couple of weeks, they had pizza a plenty on the menu and there was room for two so it was a no brainer really. The white walls and pictures dotted about make this a nice clean welcoming space, they are making the best out of quite a narrow building, and there is a wood burning pizza oven at the back of the ground floor room which makes for a very attractive centrepiece. There is also another room upstairs which seemed to be pretty full on this busy Sunday lunchtime. The guys running this place originally hail from Naples and this is reflected in the style of pizza. They come with a nice char on the crust and have a flavoursome but quite doughy base. There is an extensive selection of Pizze Bianche which comes without the tomato sauce but we plumped for the tried and tested on this occasion. B had a lovely looking Bianco 43 with cherry tomato, ricotta and mozzarella while I went for the meaty Capricciosa. Both were very tasty and, when washed down with a glass of the very reasonably priced house white, made for a great pre movie lunch. We skipped starters but the selection the two young ladies sitting next to us had looked very good and the short dessert menu also looked very appealing. We both finished off our meal with a decent Illy macchiato which was not on the coffee menu but seemed to be no bother to make. The staff were very friendly without being overbearing. The other punters were very Greenwich, but in a good way, with a mix of same and mixed sex couples and also a few families with youngish children. Just for the record I would say this is not a place best suited to babies and buggies. While not setting the world alight, Franco Manca it is not, this is a nice place to eat although it's not somewhere I would want to spend a whole evening in (we were in no way rushed through our meal I did notice that people did seem to come and go around us pretty quickly - I guess it's just that kind of place). However, I have no doubt we will be back again in the not too distant future. read more

See all

Cosy but busy restaurant. Food was average, nothing spectacular. Service was quick and the young waitresses are attentive. read more

Bianco 43 - Italian Near Me - London, XGL

Great little restaurant for really delicious pizza. My margarita had a thin tasty blistered crust, and delicious mozzarella topping. The courgette fries and side salad were also good too. Friendly and speedy service. Can't comment on the size of the non pizza dishes or the wine list as I didn't have that. I'd recommend this as a spot for yummy pizza if you in the area. read more

Blistered pizza crust and homemade pasta- what's not to love?! Unfortunately the service was rather cold and I honestly don't believe they had bookings for ALL of the tables that we had to sit right in the middle of waiters manouvering around us to get to other tables, even though we did ask whether we could switch tables. Alot of the diners after us were tourists so, i can hardly believe they booked. Saying that, it's in the heart of greenwich, so there is touristy hubbub but the food is good. I would personally head to the market to grab something on a sunday, but i had some very fussy guests and it was cold, so I picked a sit down restaurant. We ordered a variety of pastas and one pizza and I was really impressed by how fresh the ingredients were. The pastas, being homemade, are a hit or miss, the noodle type dishes were fine, but the actual pasta shaped ones, the flour was hard- and overworked and it wasn't pleasant. Italian food is not always consistent for me, and this didn't change my mind. read more

I went to this place for the first time, and it is better than any other pizza place I've been to before. The staff were so friendly, and the service was really fast. They had these really cool looking lights on their tables, which made everything look nice. The pizza had a very unique flavor, which I liked a lot. This is definitely one of my new favorite places to go to whenever I'm hungry read more

Disappointing. We came here with my boyfriends parents who were staying in a hotel nearby, from start to finish the experience was disappointing. We had a few queries about the menu and our waiter was unable to answer them - that wasn't a problem for us, everyone is new at some point - instead of him coming back, a different waitress took over (which seemed unnecessary our questions weren't complicated) and a little later we saw what we believe was the duty manager publicly reprimanding our original waiter. It was unprofessional, awkward and definitely gave us a bad impression of the staff. The food portions were a joke, my boyfriends muscle starter was larger than the Gnocchi mains his parents had, admittedly Gnocchi is potato and pasta so no one needs much but the portions were child sized (I regrettably didn't take a photo)it was in a small starter bowl that was placed on a wooden board - I guess to make it look larger. My main was a good portion I had a mushroom pasta dish and my boyfriends steak was a good sized portion as well. The wine wasn't the greatest we chose the Valpolicella I Fiori '13 Lamberti Corvina, Rondinella, perhaps we just chose badly but it was just generally quite poor. The desserts were NOT good, my boyfriend had the tiramisu which was served in a water glass and was ice cold (indicating it had been sitting in a fridge for ours) after one layer of sponge it was more like ice-cream. I chose the Crema Mascarpone, it was sickly sweet and after a couple of mouthfuls was more like milkshake, I didn't finish it (which is very rare for me not to finish dessert). My boyfriends dad asked for the Torta Al Cioccolato to be served with chocolate ice-cream the waitress said that was fine, when it came out it still had vanilla ice-cream with it, there was no apology, until we prompted her and only then did she half-heartedly offer to change it, although we got the feeling this would be a big imposition on her if we did (we didn't change it). The service was mediocre, our waitress although nice was clearly rushed (perhaps due to there being new guy on with her) and therefore not very attentive. Some positives the steak was cooked to liking the mushroom pasta was excellent with the exception the desserts the food was obviously fresh and well prepared. Overall not a place I'll visit again, there are far superior Italian restaurants in London. read more

This is a respectable, if not fantastic, family-run Italian restaurant. I found the pizzas to be great, but the starters were disappointing. The pizzas come from a wood-fired oven at the back of the ground floor kitchen, and the smell is really nice. They come out nicely blistered, and have a great, chewy crust. As for the starters, the pieces of bruschetta were extremely small and pedestrian-tasting, and the aubergine involtini were in a rather boring tomato sauce. Overall, given the size of the pizzas, however, it's worth going here, skipping the starters, and jumping right into a beautiful pie. read more

This is a pretty high three stars but I have only been there once. I had the pappardelle with mushroom and duck, the wife had a spaghetti with seafood and the kids had lasagna, pasta genovese (with pesto) and a pizza with prosciutto crudo and mushrooms. We were all happy with our food choices and the Tuscan house wine (Santa Lucia) was fine. Afterwards, the espresso (Illy beans) was excellent and the panna cotta was really nice too. They were out of mirto and had no amaro so I had a glass of the grappa, which turned out to be really nice as well. The prices were quite reasonable and the decor and service was nice. I can recommend this place for dinner. read more

I love this place, I eat here at least twice a month. This is one of the better pizzas I've had in London, I'd put it on par to Franco Mancas. The prices are a bit steeper for pizza than Francos but they're almost triple the size. There's a massive wood fire oven and you can see the chef roll out the dough and put the toppings on it. Besides a range of pizzas, they also have fantastic pasta dishes, some of which are home made pasta and fish/meat dishes. The home made gnocci is delicious! The best part about this place - it accepts Tastecard so eating here is very purse friendly! I'm going there tonight, can't wait! read more

We have no good pizza and Italian restaurants in Greenwich. And despite what you might think at first glance, given that it's a town FULL of eateries, we don't actually have many good restaurants in Greenwich. Bianco 43 is one of the good ones. I'll be honest, my five star rating isn't just based on the food. It's based on the friendly staff (who are all Italian), the sexy waiter who made me blush, the owner who is SO EXCITED about people in his restaurant enjoying themselves. It's also largely based on the fact that we don't have a decent pizza place in Greenwich, and I'm thrilled that this place is here. You'll think it's full up when you look through the window, and we nearly didn't go on, but do! They've got an upstairs dining room too. A main highlight is that they do courgette fries. Byron Hamburgers started me on these, and now they're a bit like a mild form of crack. You get a craving for something, but you don't entirely know what. And then you remember and you don't stop thinking about them all day. That is the power of a deep fried courgette. And you can get them here. Strangely with a calamari starter, but the calamari wasn't fried for nearly long enough. Pizzas were awesome, my 4 seasons was a bit hit and miss with the toppings (mushrooms instead of olives, only three bits of artichoke, but then loads of ham) but the base was so damn perfect that I didn't care. This is really good pizza. Carbs die happy here. Pizzas peak at around a tenner, and the fries are £3. Wine isn't cheap - their house is £17 a bottle, and that's a downside for me. It nudges a good value meal into one that's a bit of a treat. But then I argued that if you're splitting the bill, you're paying a pound or so more than normal. (This is why I never have any money.) The owner proudly told us that they're going to start doing opera music soon (I'll be sure to avoid those nights), and he's promised they'll start doing delivery. I can't wait. In reality, it's a four star restaurant. But in an area that was crying out for something awesome, run by friendly people who love working here. And for that it gets full marks. read more

Popped in for an early Sunday night dinner, good value starter, mussels for my wife and aubergine in tomato sauce for me folowed by pizzas all round with a bottle of Primitivo form Puglia, a very good evening. read more

Great food, reasonably priced. Wonderful service. We had 2 little kids with us and they took their orders first and got them their food right away, along with markers and paper to color on. We expected a mediocre touristy restaurant and got a great meal. read more

The food was unbelievably catered to English palate and the staff said so as well, when we complained that the food was so bland. The only redeeming feature is that the staff and service are nice, location is brilliant and wine selections are good. Maybe the pizza is good - I didn't stick around to try. our starters and main course (I got a seafood pasta) were so bad I vowed never to return. Also the prices are on the expensive side, but normal for Greenwich. read more

Visiting London for first time, I have been to Italy and love Italian food. Biancos is authentic and genuine true Italian delicious. A must try! Delivery was a bonus!! read more

The service here was terrible, even my kids noticed that we felt entirely unwelcome (not to mention thirsty, as we waited forever for drinks). I was optimistic that the pizza would make up for it, but alas it was adequate at best. Given the wood fired oven, I'd expect a much better pie - and Bianco portrays itself as a place that would have an amazing pizza. But the pizzas we got were boring with poor seasoning, ok ingredients and little to get excited about. Most customers didn't seem to be leaving happy, and the table next to us actually sent their food back, gave up and left. I'd go to Zizzi's or Pizza Express instead - you don't get better pizza at those places, but you pay less and don't feel like you've inconvenienced the wait staff. read more

Such a lovely atmosphere in this small restaurant. The staff are always friendly and the food is definely like eating a piece of Italy. Although I couldn't manage to finish the whole dish, it was nice to be able to take the remainder home to have later. The wine was crisp and went very nicely with the food. Even though it is a little out my way, I would defintely travel to taste Italy at its finest again :) read more

As a huge fan and resident of Greenwich, not to mention a total Italophile, I wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, despite the food being great, the service was just appalling: - We booked a table prior - no sign of it when we arrived, so they pushed two tables together. Not a problem. - They wanted to clear the air on the ground floor so instead of turning the AC unit on, they wedged the front door onto the busy street wide open. This is Zone 2, not the Amalfi Coast. It was chilly and loud - Main courses arrived over ten minutes apart. Two of my guests had a couple of forkfuls left by the time the other three meals arrived - As we left, a waitress thoughtfully suggested that if we visit again as a table of 5 we should sit upstairs (we had booked ahead for a table of 5, which they had forgotten. An irony sadly lost on this occasion), not to mention the fact one of our party arrived in a wheelchair! I will be back because of the two points at the top, but they really need to up their game. I hope this was as embarrassing for them as it was for me. Please, please do better next time read more

Great pasta, ambience and fair service. The pizza isn't as good, but is still a lot better than pretty much any pizza you can get in the area. I've also been to the Trafalgar Square branch and that was just as good - especially given it's surrounded by Bella Pasta-type places! read more

Everyone who loves pizza should try this Italian place. Everything is great and the pizzas just fly from the wooden-fired oven. In addition to the fast service, the menu is rich enough and can satisfy every craving. The prices seemed a little steep for me but it's worth it. read more

Good pizza, Italian style. Fresh and good quality ingredients. A bit more expensive than other options, but it very good.

Top notch! We ordered two margharita pizzas, one with spicy pepperoni and Italian sausage. We picked it up to go for a perfect little date night in. The owner, Massimo, is a sweet heart and you can tell he strives to make authentic Italian food. Will definitely be back! read more

A very nice restaurant, the food is always nice and deliveries are very quick. I always enjoy going there. The interior is lovely and the atmosphere is very nice. The staff are always helpful. read more
