They should offer more choice on the menu. A couple of the pasta dishes are rather bland and disappointing. Needs a refresh!

Dear Mr Tony, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I was clearly disappointed to read you did not enjoyed our pasta selection. We had a full team of chefs on Monday and there should have been no issue with the execution of the dishes, please accept our sincere apologies for your disappointment. We would of course like to make amends. Please do not hesitate to contact us at reception@cafemurano.co.uk and we'll be happy to discuss this further. Warmest regards. - Mara

This place has changed (for the worse) tremendously. Terrible terrible service. Cold welcome, did not have my booking despite I booked through OpenTable. 1 hour and 25 minutes into our time at the restaurant, the waiter drops the bill on the table (without us asking at all). 1h40 mins into our time, he comes along with a card machine and the restaurant, wait for it, was half empty (Monday night). I enjoyed the food but it’s less sophisticated that it once was but this type of awful service is a definite put off for me. Never again

A last minute booking at 6.00 for a pre-theatre dinner. Booking made on Opentable, confirmed to me by email as usual, but hadn't been received by the restaurant. Not a problem though, they found us a table and we enjoyed an, if quick, excellent dinner.

First time we eat at CM SJ was very good. Second time? I can only give credit to the Italian waitress managing, basically, alone the all room. Taking the order was an adventure. At 20 o’clock menu choices were already finished. After some compromises order was placed. Main courses were not hot, 1 raw ( fish course ) and poorly presented, the pasta looked good but so salty you couldn’t taste anything else. At the end we sent back the food and asked for the check. The waitress, professionally, informed us that there was nothing to pay. Ultimately arrived home and ordered from Deliveroo. Maybe it was better to don’t open and wait the 3rd of Jan.
