Tempio Bar & Restaurant in City of London

I work nearby and this is our favourite place to go for a group lunch. The food is fantastic every time and the staff are wonderful.

Fantastic food and really friendly and accommodating staff. Lots of choice on the menu. Had a great evening here with a party of 6. Highly recommended.

Perfect for lunch away from the Fleet Street crowds, excellent pasta and pizza dishes plus daily specials at reasonable prices. Never disappoints.

The menu was customised for us, which was a great thing! The vibe of the restaurant was lovely as it's a basement setting. A must try!

Excellent neighbourhood hangout. They are really stepping it up this year with a much nicer staff and the food and drinks were both delicious.

I dined here recently. The chicken salad was tasty. The tiramisu was nice. It wasn't too crowded.

A great family run business serving amazing food and good wine. Have been here for lunches and dinner and never been disappointed. Friendly efficient service and gorgeous food. Don't forget to look at the specials board as there is always something new to try.

Underwhelming food for the prices. Quality of food could be better. It just seems like anyone could make the kind of food they serve. Pizzas are nothing special and pasta is nice but again, quite underwhelming and can be quite bland. The lasagne is just a bowl of poor quality cheese on top of dry sheets of hard pasta with no authentic Italian taste. A friend ordered the fish and chips from the specials board and it was extremely disappointing. Tiny piece of over-battered fish that didn’t look fresh was served with sad looking chips.

What feels worse than giving a bad review? Giving a mediocre review...I get nervous when I visit Italian joints, I've been to Italy several times and expect to be bitterly disappointed by London imitations.Unfortunately my expectations were met here, not massively, but enough for me to say I ate my food but didn't necessarily enjoy it. I had the prawn linguine - the flavours weren't quite there, the pasta tasted like it was out of a packet (sorry to be harsh but I want to be helpful in my review) and there wasn't enough prawn.However, the pricing is reasonable and I really like the family feel. The service is also pleasant. Others rate the pizza highly so perhaps I should have gone with the pizza instead.

Friendly staff and quick Service even during peak hours. Delicious food, in particular love the crispy garlic bread. Only bad point was the fact that the restuarant smelt really fishy when I went there, however hopefully this was a one off. Still recommend this place as the food quality is worth it.
