The food is very good here and the portions are big. But sadly it is not enough for customers to leave this restaurant happy. Staff is rude and that made the experience just not what You expect when You come into a restaurant. The main waiter (older guy) is spinning around like a bee and looks crazy stressed although has just a few tables. When we came in he immediately told us to wait outside and did not let us come in because some other ladies were waiting as well. Now I understand that they were there first, but the waiter could have said “hello, please wait a moment” or something like that. Then when we came in we didn’t really understand were to sit because he ran away again. When we go...
We kind of stumbled across this restaurant and what can i say everything from start to finish was amazing, the mixed fish grill was an excellent portion of varied fish which was fresh and tasted and smellt like to sea if i cloded my eyes i felt like i was in Italy in the summer, the wine was perfect, lobster soup (with lobster chunks in it to boot) was smooth and creamy and coated the palate perfectly. My partner's salmon was cooked to perfection and the fries ordered as a side dish were hot crispy and delicious. The manager (James/not his Spanish name) was attentive, friendly and very welcoming, this is a place that we will definitely return to in the near future, would definitely recommend...
After reading the positive reviews, I was greatly disappointed with this restaurant. The staff was rude from the moment we arrived until we paid the bill, and the food was literally thrown in front of us. This might have been forgivable if the food had been good, but unfortunately it was just as bad as the service. The oven-baked mushroom starter consisted of a few pan-fried button mushrooms swimming in garlic oil, and the steak was 50% fat with raw accompanying vegetables. This is a place to avoid, as there are much better restaurants nearby.
The food we tried was good, but two out of four meals were incorrect. The restaurant was severely understaffed, resulting in multiple requests for drinks and a lengthy wait (around 20 minutes for two beers). We had to request dessert menus and our order to be taken. Overall, we wouldn't return, as the food that was prepared correctly was delicious, but not worth the overall experience. Réservez une table maintenant
We were staying at the Ibis nearby looking for somewhere to eat before the Abba Voyage concert and thought we'd try Il Bianco. Fantastic place, great service and food at a very reasonable price for London. Me and my friend were both talking about how good our meals were the next day. Would definitely return if in the area and recommend to anyone
Food and service was incredible. Proper authentic Italian food and good portions. Price was cheaper than at home so amazing for London prices especially tower hamlets payed less than £50 for the two of us. Found it as it was just a minute from our hotel, but will definitely be coming back
There were six of us and we were all very satisfied with our dishes. The pizza, fettucini with salmon, shrimp, pannacotta, tiramisu, and bruschetta were all delicious. Everything tasted homemade and we highly recommend this place. The service was friendly, fun, and excellent.
