Café Murano - St James

Great food and charming, very experienced staff. Also, a first class wine list. The only problem is the acoustics, which will make it unsuitable for anyone with hearing difficulties. Highly recommended.

What a find! If you want incredible food in a beautiful yet relaxed setting this is place to go. The manager Giuseppe is an absolute star, hang onto him Angela Hartnett! Many thanks for a great experience, we’ll definitely be back.

An absolutely wonderful meal in Cafe Murano! The atmosphere is like being in Italy, with excellent food and wine. Service was efficient. Prices were reasonable for central London. Would recommend going here if you want a great meal! View menu

I had said i would do a review and i had long forgot but seeing as some friends went here and came back raving about it I knew i had to Get my Late Review up/ Perfect place to eat and The Risotto is Just Perfect with or without Rabbit may one add

Great food and great service. Stopped here for lunch on a weekend in London and were really pleasantly surprised at the great value. We expected it may have been much more expensive in this part of the city. On top of that the portions were great, we both left full and happy.

Great service, stunning authentic Italian food (you know you’re onto a good thing when your friend states it smells like her Sardinian mother in laws kitchen) and a very interesting wine list. Absolutely loved everything about this relaxed Sunday Roast venue and menu. And all at an affordable price. View menu

We booked this based on having tried some at home cooking boxes from this restaurant, it did not disappoint. Most of us stuck to the menu of the day either two courses for £25 or three for £30. With four options for each course. The food was excellent to the extent one of our party whose highest compliment is normally it was allright described it as the best meal he had had for several years. At no time did we feel rushed by the service who rustled up a Tomato sauce for the Chicken Milanese as they didnot have ketchup, it was a very enjoyable experiance.

Been here many times, but won’t be back. The food is always OK to good. I sat at the bar and ordered dinner and it just wasn’t good. The bartender asked me what happened I said it’s just not good, and I knew he did not have the power to take it off the check and so I just was gonna let it go. Then, out of nowhere, the manager, east European, comes over and starts telling me that everybody loves that dish and is really aggressive. There’s lots of good restaurants in the same neighborhood, so even though I like that they’re open all day, and I like the ambience I do not recommended going here.

Very disappointed. Booked for 7.30 on a Thursday evening. Seated quickly and was instantly aware that a conversation wouldn’t be possible over dinner, the acoustics were awful and the noise deafening. Staff were friendly and took our order swiftly. Starters were ok (arancini and cod fritters) a bit bland and very dry, could have done with some aioli or something. We shared a plate of very well cooked pasta with beef ragu the highlight of the meal. Then came the mains, veal with polenta, and monkfish. The veal was 90% bone and the polenta was a soup surrounding it, unpleasant at best. The monkfish was drowned in oil and garlic so much that you wouldn’t have known there was fish on the plate....
