Reviews
A fantastic Italian that combines both high quality cooking with a laid back casual atmosphere. Food is well prepared and cooked. The squid had the perfect texture, the pork ragu was so flavourful and the mushroom ravioli in sage butter was lovely. All the dishes are well thought out and have both a classic side to it with a modern execution. It gets very busy here so booking is recommended. Tables can be quite close together but this adds to the cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Service and staff are brilliant. Very knowledgable and very attentive.
Amazing! I love to give 5 stars reviews because it means I found a place I would recommend. Food was very tasty; as a starters I would 100% recommend the Crab, the Pizzetta, and the Prosciutto with Cantaloupe melon, you can tell all the dishes have quality ingredients. Then the mains I liked the most were the Dover Sole wood-roasted with a salted anchovy —it melted in my mouth—, the Summer Risotto, and the chargrilled Longhorn Beef Rib-Eye, but if none of that is to your taste I would suggest the Tagliarini with Dorset Blue Lobster, incredible as well. Everyone was super friendly and professional and the owner is such a nice lady. We felt very welcomed!
We visited River Cafe for dinner with our family, and our impressions were mixed. The food was outstanding: every dish was exquisite and delicious, with no doubt that the kitchen here is top-notch. However, the prices seemed too high, especially considering the restaurant is quite far from central London. If you're willing to spend a significant amount on dinner and don’t mind the trip to the outskirts of the city, River Cafe won’t disappoint. But if you value a balance between price and convenience, it might be worth considering other options.
Surprisingly good food. The interior is not particularly attractive, very simple, but brings a strong feeling being in an Italian place. As an esthete I prefer restaurants with a character, but who said this simple style can’t be a character, right?! Again, food is good! So, yes I recommend!
