"We arrived at a little after our booking time of 6pm but rang to say we were running a few minutes late as the journey took longer than expected. When we did arrive, the welcome was very warm and we were seated by the window. I was glad of that as the main body of the restaurant got quite busy and loud, and I enjoyed people watching! I was not impressed by the starter of dipping breads they did seem a little stale, but our main courses were excellent when they arrived. (Minute steak with a side salad for me and lasagne for him both delicious) They were obviously short staffed with just two waitresses and a bartender, but they went about their duties cheerfully. By 7.30pm they had got so busy they were turning people away. I’d go again but choose another starter."

"This was my first visit to the restaurant and I had high expectations. Although the food and drinks were good, I was disappointed by the service and staff. We did not feel welcomed by the staff who took our order and felt rushed, even though the restaurant was not full. There were a lot of junior staff members focused on clearing and setting tables, but the manager would constantly reset them to his liking. We felt neglected by the staff, including the manager, and were not asked about our meal. After our main plates were cleared, we waited for 40 minutes before finally asking for the bill as we were not offered dessert or any kind of acknowledgment. It was unfortunate because the food was actually quite good. When we expressed our feelings, the waiter seemed indifferent. Overall, the experience left us dissatisfied. This is not how a restaurant should be operated. I do not recommend this restaurant. After reading other reviews, it seems that others have had a similar experience."

"My Wife and I try and get out for a meal at least once a month, previous visits here were very good. Starters were fine, but I ordered a medium rare fillet steak for my main, got my steak which was well done, mistakes do happen, but to try and tell me that the steak was medium rare was just frustrating, I should not need to explain the difference, so replaced my steak with a medium rare, although after my wife had finished her meal. Did give us a free bottle of wine to apologize, which was a nice touch."

"Absolutely loved the pasta and the appetizers were amazing as well. I understand the restaurant isn’t known for its pizza but the actual sauce/toppings were amazing it was just the dough that was a little off putting of the Italian ambiance (being Italian myself. Overall, would highly recommend! Great attentive staff and the pasta was incredible and very authentic. The price was also really affordable for the amount of food you get."

"Our group of 5 visited Cafe Venice for the first time after attending an England rugby match at Twickenham Stadium. It's a 20-minute walk from there, so not much different than a venue in Twickenham town center. I made a telephone booking about 10 days before our visit and clarified that on rugby days, they offer a restricted menu at lunchtime but a full menu in the evenings. Note that there is a good specials menu in addition to the extensive menu on the website. We had booked for 6:30 pm, and the restaurant was busy with many other customers who had also been to the rugby match. We received a warm welcome, and the service throughout was friendly and efficient. For starters, we had dough balls, mushrooms, mussels, calamari, and whitebait. For mains, we had carbonara, calzone, and sea bass fillets, all served with salad or chips. The portions were generous and very tasty, and the food and wine were reasonably priced. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Cafe Venice and will definitely be returning."

"I recently dined in at this restaurant for lunch and had an exceptional experience. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in a fantastic setting."

"Been here twice in the last few months and the service was terrible both times. Waitress just stood at the desk looking into space, forgot about our table on both visits. Had to ask to order drinks, then ask again to order more drinks. Generally inattentive until the dessert when she took the plate from under a friend's fork as he was finishing his food. Food was okay but one dish was incredibly salty. Frustrating more than anything as their pizza is pretty tasty."

"I was in Blackheath for a long weekend with friends and we ended up coming here 3 nights out of four for dinner! The pizza was excellent, the beer was amazing especially the Mango IPA and the Black lager. The staff were very attentive and the manager really welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back next time I’m in London, would go out of my way to go back!"

"We just received our order and it was incredibly disappointing. It was the worst delivery experience we have ever had. Our evening was ruined by the poor quality of the food. We ordered a pizza, pasta, and oven-baked potatoes, and all of them were terrible. They looked normal, but the taste was inedible. The pizza was the worst we have ever had - cold, dry, and tasting like stale bread with hardly any cheese or tomato sauce. The salmon pasta was extremely oily, lacking the promised pink sauce, and the pasta was overcooked to the point of being mushy. The potatoes were not crispy and tasted bland and oily. We regret spending money on this meal and feel that the positive reviews must be fake. This Italian restaurant is a scam. We couldn't eat the food and had to order from another place instead. Disgusting."

"Stopped off here whilst doing some Christmas shopping for pizza. We had the antipasti board to start with followed by two different kinds of vegan pizzas. Really enjoyed the food; the cheese used on the pizzas was thoroughly different to anything else I've tried but really enjoyed it. The place had a vegan drinks menu, and the space in which was used was decorated well! Only downside is that the staff congregated for pretty much the whole time we were there, just chatting amongst each other, which seemed a little unprofessional! Still, would recommend checking this place out Saw an advertisement for a vegan club too!"

"First order from this place, ordered via just eat but there are tons of reviews for everywhere there and they seem largely meaningless so leaving here. Ordered an 18 four cheese pizza on a garlic butter base with spinach on it as a paid extra for just under £20 with delivery. The plan was that since it 's 18 I 'd have it for dinner and a fair bit left over for the next morning. The pizza was done extremely well, I don 't know if they do all ingredient combinations this well but there were thicker creamy cheesy parts, a sprinkle of fairly strong parmesan, hint of garlic all around. There was a thin layer of the spinach all over the pizza kinda melted into it (not a thick watery blob of it as you can sometimes get). Due to all this I failed to follow the plan and finished the entire pizza over 2 hours or so with the classic just one more slice feeling getting too strong every 20 mins. Delivery wise, for reference I live 2 miles from the place it came in 45 mins, this was 10 mins less than estimated. There are some places that seem to be able to deliver within 20 30 mins, but to be honest making a proper 18 pizza and delivering it all within 45 mins is very reasonable if you think about it, and I could probably wait up to 70ish mins before considering it a negative. As long as the estimates are accurate, or if there is a delay I 'm notified about it and given the option to cancel that 's perfect. There are some places that can be 30 mins, even an hour later than estimated that don 't even notify you of this so you have to sit in and be available to open the door for 2 hours, this wasn 't that, and was quick so, perfect."

"Ordered from here tonight, asked for a mixed chicken box, kebab meat, no colesaw and no onions (which they had put in anyway). After arriving at 1.45 a.m., it took me about 20 minutes before I could order this was after atleast 4 people skipped me and made orders there when I finally asked to order, I was well said if everyone would come and up there would not be a problem (there was no line). It took 2.35 before I got my food! Would not recommend!"

"Always been my favourite restaurant. Very generous portions and varied menu. Excellent service and friendly staff. Went there yesterday and it is still as wonderful as ever. The restaurants in South End are really up against it with the curfew but we still need to support our local eateries. We got round the bubble issue by sitting at different tables."

"We had a fantastic dinner here on Saturday the prawn starter was incredible as was the carbonara. One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to. The kind waiter was amazing giving us the choice of what kind of pasta we wanted. The chocolate cake was really good and everything was so well priced. I am planning on going back next week."
"I have eaten here twice in 3 years and both been a disaster. It will be my last..... First time was ok the food was nothing special but when I asked for my bill their hand held machine declined my card several times. They got a waiter to run me to an ATM where my card worked fine so I could withdraw money......Completely embarrassing and unacceptable. Last night I went for dinner with my Daughter and her Fiance. Nice friendly welcome and fast and efficiently seated. Lady that served us seamed to have trouble with the touch pad ordering system while taking our order. Again the food was bang average.... steaks were not very nice or cooked well (asked for mediam rare but was not even close and very fatty . Chef has an obssession with unessassery garnishing your plate with salad, fried onions,mushrooms, tomatoes ect The gereral standard of food was ok but not value for money and porrly descibed....... For example Mozzerla fritters blah blah blah .... sounds nice right?..... You get 5 Mozzarala STICKS from Farmfoods with loads of random salad. Again when it was time to pay and the bill came it was wrong and I was over charged 76.40. Questioned the bill and it took 20 minutes of our time for them to sort it out with just a Sorry have a happy new year!!! Not a somewhere I would go back to.......Twice wrong and food is not great"

"I booked this restaurant from the trip advisor feedback. When we arrived the restaurant was almost empty. As it is set in a brewery it needed to be buzzing for an atmosphere. Sadly a lot of the dishes were not on....all the mussels in buckets which made up a big percentage of the menu. We all ended up having pizzas, made to order and delicious. The service was brilliant. Very attentive and cheery waiters."

"Interesting Italian restaurant, the idea is that you order food at a counter and have it made fresh in front of you. The staff were very friendly and nice. But the downside of the model is that you do spend a lot of time standing around waiting for your food, whereas you may prefer to be able to sit down if you've been walking around a lot. It was nice to have such fresh pasta prepared in front of me though. If you order a pizza you do get a buzzer to take back to your table."

"This restaurant serves extremely delicious oversized burgers at a great price. I also tried the ribs, which were just as impressive. The portion of fries I received was incredibly generous, about a kilo in weight."
