Cafe Murano Covent Garden

"The Bermondsey branch of Italian mini-chain Café Murano has opened a shop selling fresh pasta, ready-made sauces, a selection of fresh produce ranging from meatballs to Thorogood asparagus, a couple of meal kits, dry goods, and wine. There’s also and a chef’s daily special that just requires a half hour in the oven before it’s ready to eat. Order here." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Maximum Capacity: 14 Minimum Spend: set menu starts at £55 per person Bermondsey’s Cafe Murano nails the fine balance of being fancy but not uptight, and classy but not too polished. The Italian spot has a discreet private dining room that feels separate to the restaurant. Tucked away in here—getting into a huge pork chop bathing in salty anchovy butter sauce—is a great place to be. The warm and attentive staff will look after you well too." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna

"Bermondsey’s Cafe Murano nails the fine balance of being fancy but not uptight, and classy but not too polished. The Italian restaurant covers pretty much every type of situation. Intimate date night? Grab one of the secluded booths and fork at tender gnocchi. Boisterous catch-up with friends? Head to the bright, white-tiled main dining room. A low-key lunch? Ask for a table in the small, low-lit space towards the back and share a huge pork chop bathing in salty anchovy butter sauce. Wherever you end up, the warm and attentive staff will look after you well." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager

"The deli next door to Angela Hartnett’s Cafe Murano is essentially a production area for the restaurant, albeit with plenty left over for everyone else to take home. It’s all about the pasta, made with eggs from Fluffets Farm on the edge of the New Forest: the pumpkin tortelli with butter and crisp, shimmering sage leaves, and rigatoni with Tuscan fennel sausage ragu are both standouts. If eating alone or as a pair, it’s most fun to sit at the bar." - Helen Graves
