Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Docklands

I’m a regular here as it’s the perfect spot for a work lunch. The interior is stylish and inviting, and even when the restaurant is busy, it remains pleasantly quiet, therefore ideal for conversation. The food is consistently good, and the staff are attentive, friendly, and professional. It’s a place where you can enjoy a relaxed yet efficient lunch, and I always leave feeling well looked after. Highly recommended.

The place is charming, the food excellent and Franco is an excellent chef and host.

This was a birthday outing, and my second time here, I mostly enjoyed the night and overall service and hospitality was great - I had a big group of 12 and I would have preferred to be seated near the DJ area like I requested 1 week before my booking but I can understand the place was very busy and packed. Cost wise it’s an expensive place but that’s due to the proximity of location. The only negative experience was one of the security guards trying to enforce the 2 hour rule on my group after spending 1.7k - sometimes you need to use logic on when to do this and it was a late booking so there wasn’t anyone waiting for our table. Good birthday overall and would recommend to others.

Really lovely restaurant, perfectly placed for any of the hotels at the western end of the ExCel. Food was absolutely delicious and the ambience was extremely relaxed. Would definitely go back.

I really recommend this lovely restaurant. We had an outdoor table on the fabulous terrace and the service and ambience were great. This is a busy, bustly area and yet this was like an oasis of calm and peace. We could hear ourselves speak and the waiting staff were brilliant; attentive but not intrusive at all. The food was good, but portions were very small (pasta) - this was my only minor issue and so it wasn't great value for money. Great choices for vegetarians however and a very comprehensive menu. Will definitely recommend this place to others.
