A relaxed restaurant for an enjoyable lunch, with a good value, well prepared set menu. The staff were very friendly and professional. The gnocchi dish was very tasty, and the pollock was well cooked and delicious. I only give 3 stars to the food as unfortunately, the fish was just lukewarm.

In London and needed a late lunch pre-show and after some shopping. Cafe Murano Covent Garden has been great for us in past, so we decided to revisit and we’re not disappointed. We decided to eat a la carte and ordered a mix of dishes which we could share amongst the table. The staff were very accommodating and helped us select the right size across primi courses, as well as opting a dish off the fixed menu. The ambience was busy without being too noisy to enjoy conversations. The wine and food options were excellent and we’d highly recommend others visiting.

We were very disappointed with our visit to Cafe Murano. The wine we choose was unavailable. One member of our group opted for the sea bream on the fixed menu, only to be told it wasn't available and was replaced by mackerel, which unfortunately she didn't enjoy. I had tagliatelle with beef. The pasta was overcooked and the beef contained large lumps of gristle. The pickled vegetable starter and Bavette main course were, however, very good. It was unfortunate that the noise level from adjacent tables for the first hour was such that the three of us had to shout in order to have a conversation. The staff were apologetic. When the bill arrived, the Maitre d' had very generously not charged us for the two main meals and our coffees, which we very much appreciated. Thank you.

The food was exceptional. Very reasonably priced if you go for the prix fix lunch. Highly recommend the bruschetta to start followed by the sea bream. 2 courses for £25. I had the most divine green cabbage as a side. Who would have thought cabbage could taste so delicious?! Loved it !

I booked through Open Table. When we arrived we were told they had no record of it, that they don’t partner with OT anymore. A table was found and we ordered. Our server was quite off-putting. She kept staring at us from where she was standing- no engagement, just openly staring- constantly. It was bordering on rude/intimidating. The food was just average. The risotto was edible but looked like a sloppy mess. The seabream was fine and the rigatoni dish was tasty. Overall, the food/seevice meant a disappointing experience- contrary to our expectation.
