    Giuseppe is an absolute asset at GM taking care of FOH. The service is unrushed and staff are professional. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming. Be sure to try the Mandorlato after dinner!

    This is a first rate place to have a delicious meal, well-served by pleasant and energetic waitstaff. You'll enjoy every minute. First, the bread and Sicilian olive oil are great. We had a carafe of the Sangiovese on special - a good wine at a good price. I had the daily special Tagliatelle made with goat meat. Fantastic. My wife, the birthday girl, had a sort of gnocchi dish with extra delicious onions, on the menu as a "sustainable planet" dish that was great. The deserts were great too. Highly recommended. We'd just spent 2-weeks in Queens Grill in a Cunard ship. Nothing there was better than our delicious lunch at Cafe Murano.

    Bread, wine and truffle arancini.

    Cafe Murano is an excellent, efficient restaurant, cooking interesting, tasty dishes in combination with a carefully curated wine list in a friendly - even romantic - atmosphere. Just off Piccadilly, Cafe Murano does have a great reputation for a reason. The restaurant is beautiful, designed with attention to detail. This creates an atmospheric and relaxed environment. It is definitely a place I could recommend for a random dinner as well as for a date. When I arrived, I was welcomed and given a nice table by the window. As walk-in I did not have a reservation, so I could only stay for about an hour. Knowing this, it was easy to get through my delicious dinner before the next booking. The all-Italian line-up of wines by the glass is a nice selection of different regions and grapes. One white wine stood out for me - the Etna Bianco, Tenuta delle Terre Nere, Sicilia from 2014. Last year, I had a very interesting Azores white wine grown on volcanic soil at The Corkscrew Wine Bar in Lisbon. As I really enjoyed that one, I thought it would be exciting to find out how an Italian wine from Etna would taste. Volcanic wine is nothing I have seen on many wine lists, so I just had to seize this opportunity. If like me, you like mineral notes in a wine, the Etna Bianco is something you will enjoy. It is a pretty dry wine, yet the volcanic soil adds a certain depth to it missing in most other white wines. I can imagine that some people would not enjoy the characteristic flavour, but I think it's a great wine. Soon, the complementary bread arrived, complete with a little sea of olive oil on a separate small plate. The bread was not sweet, nice on its own and even better with a bit of olive oil and pepper. I had ordered the truffle arancini starter which was very nice together with the opionated Etna wine. The truffle added a salty sensation to the dish. Strong, but luckily not overpowering the beautiful risotto inside. I was looking for a relatively small and light main, and the pumpkin gnocchi, sage butter, walnuts and gorgonzola was exactly what I wanted. I would almost call this dish a revelation. When I read the menu, I was not sure about the pumpkin gnocchi. However, it turned out that I actually now perhaps prefer it over potato gnocchi! The taste of the gnocchi was kind of neutral and smooth, and I think quite a bit lighter than potato would have been. The walnuts added a lovely texture to the plate and the salty gorgonzola perfectly enhanced the seasoning of the dish. Finally, the sage sauce made it a well-rounded and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Choosing a small main left enough space for a dessert. I went for the chocolate tart with milk sorbet. The chocolate was dark and bitter as it should be with an impressively shiny glaze. The pastry was crispy but still easy to cut through. And the surprisingly light milk sorbet nicely balanced the rich chocolate flavour and helped cleanse the palate. And as if this would not be good enough already, the dessert also went brilliantly with the Etna wine. After three courses, I left Cafe Murano very happy and satisfied that evening. Would I go again? Sure, any time - Cafe Murano really is an excellent restaurant.

    Solid food and solid service. Good food for the price. We had both entrees of fish at our table and they were very solid.

    Yum! Delightful, intimate,…read more Enjoyed the pasta de fruit. Lovely flavors. Small seafood bits. The clams were Very small. Close to my hotel. Would come again. .

    My husband and I stumbled (quite literally) into Bocconcino after hitting a wall of jet lag and…read morehunger. The hostess took pity on us and allowed us spots at the bar without reservations. The bartender was absolutely charming and amazing, and he made a truly outstanding Ramos Gin Fizz (a cocktail from New Orleans that few people know how to make, and even fewer want to make). Not sure how that cocktail came up, but he seriously deserves a round of applause for making not one, but two. He truly revived my soul! I split the gazpacho and short rib pasta with my husband. The short rib pasta was magically both light and hearty; it was exactly what we needed after 18 hours of travel. We frequently travel, and I am highly skeptical of Italian food when outside of Italy. Bocconcino was an authentic experience that rivals many of our meals in Rome. Maybe it was jet lag, but I did almost lock myself into the water closet and luckily after a few minutes manage to unlock the stall door without calling for assurance. I suggest visiting with a friend for gossip and security! As far as ambiance, there was great people watching with the Saturday evening patrons; it was an experience in learning about London 'going out' fashion, and watching the very attractive staff interact with customers was a prime education in upper class customer service/flirting. My parting comment is that the bartender stole my heart and I hope to have another of his delicious beverages on a future trip!
