Lovely food in an intimate venue close to Blackwall and East India stations. Portion sizes are very generous for the price and there’s good variety on the menu to suit everybody’s taste.Glad I finally tried it after living in the area for nearly a year! Will be back soon

Came here a few weeks ago as we'd so enjoyed the sadly-missed Grocer at London City Island where we live. We weren't disappointed, almost identical menu, the same huge delicious pizzas, and friendly staff. A great experience, and we're going again today.

Lovely staff so happy to help. The food was outstanding and not bad priced for LONDON. I would definitely recommend them, myself and my 14year old son throughly enjoyed it.

Good food. Great services. Not much varieties though. And the food runs out very quickly without replacement. It can be annoying especially after waiting in the queue only to be told the food is finished. You need to go there on time.

Came here as round the corner from our hotel. The staff were very friendly, the food came quickly which was brilliant considering freshly made, and the passionfruit cheesecake was unbelievable. All this and a very fair price. It is very small and well run, and should we return to London, we will absolutely be returning here. 5++++++ stars!

Just close and do everyone a favour, this is just a way to steal money. Let's get into the details, I've ordered takeaway: calamari and zucchini, bufala pizza, insalata di mare, gamberoni e rucola, cornetto di salmone.The only dish that was reasonable was the cornetto, the gamberoni came as river prawn chewy and microscopic, calamari overcooked, over seasoned to the point of being inedible, seafood salad really like the one you get from a cheap supermarket swimming in vinegard and oil sporting the same invisible prawn mentioned before. The pizza was one third biscuits like, the tomato sauce compleatly dried, and the buffalo mozzarella rationed.I'm sure it gives an idea of what to expect.

Food was amazing. Some of the best I every had. Staff really a bit up themselves. We ordered a bottle of prosecco and sadly my glass had not been properly cleaned with lipstick round the rim. The first attempt was just to pour it into a clean glass until I pointed put under the current client this was not acceptable. With absolutely no good grace at all I got a fresh glass of prosecco. When it came to the bill the service charge was added on so we asked for it to be removed. 2 members of staff then asked us why so I explained I decide on my own tip so the service charge was removed. We left no tip. Any tip should go to the chef. The food really is amazing. Front of house really do need to get over themselves

Really nice and authentic, had the Seafood salad and an Antipasto misto for starters and the ribeye steak for mains followed by a slice of passion fruit cheescake 🤤 loved the staff members too, made it feel so nostalgic☺

I eat here on a regular basis and felt the need to share the beautiful food I’ve had here. What you see is the lobster ravioli, grilled sea bass, grilled sardines, oysters and grilled mixed sea food platter.On both occasions I’ve eaten here the food has been plentiful, flavoursome and always greeted with excellent service. You won’t leave the restaurant hungry and for those that live locally that haven’t eaten here I highly recommend you ordering via their delivery service! What you get in the restaurant is exactly what you’ll receive at home!The lobster ravioli is absolutely divine with generous amount of lobster filled in the ravioli with a gorgeous sauce which doesn’t overpower the taste of the lobster.The grilled sea bass is delicious and the meat on the fish plentiful!The grilled mixed sea food platter is something else! You get enough food for two on one plate and everything just tastes divine! A side plate of veggies accompanies the seafood, but I find it too much food for my small stomach! The grilled sardines, you can taste, are fresh and packed with flavour!Thank you Il Bianco for serving such amazing food!!

We visited IL Bianco on a wet Friday evening for dinner. We had a 7pm reservation and were warmly greeted by Jorge and given a choice of tables as it was not busy.The restaurant is nicely situated and the tables well spaced in line with Covid guidelines.After reviewing the menu and at the suggestion of Jorge we ordered a Tequila and lime based based cocktail which was delivered promptly and was very refreshing.For our Antipasti we ordered the Funghi Trifolati(Garlic Mushrooms) and the Zucchini.These dishes were very tasty and plentiful.For our main courses we ordered the Crab Ravioli, the Grande Misto Alla Griglia (Mixed Grill Fish) and the Spiedino Di Gamberoni E Capesante (Marinated King Prawns, Scallops in a Garlic and Lemon sauce with rice).The Crab Ravioli was quite good with a very tasty sauce.The mixed fish grill was also good although the mussels were quite small but numerous, there were 4 types of fish along with scallops, squid and prawns. The dressing was flavoursome and Ideal with the fish.The mixed grill was also accompanied with a dish of mixed vegetables (Al Dente) and potatoes which were very good.The Capesante was quite good especially the garlic and lemon sauce although some of the seafood components could have been better.All in all we enjoyed all the dishes which were also fairly large sized portions.To accompany our meal we choose a very nice Gavi Di Gavi, La Scolca(Black label) which has a wonderful bouquet somewhat reminiscent of strawberries.We also enjoyed a bottle of the Gavi Di Gavi Merlina (Blue label).We decided to forgo the desserts having eaten our fill.Throughout the meal Jorge was very helpful friendly and attentive and moved us to a larger table for our convenience.We were later joined by friends at our table.We stayed until closing time(10pm).The whole meal was not too expensive considering that the two bottles of wine were over £100.The staff were all very friendly and we shall certainly return to IL Bianco to sample their Pizzas, Pasta's and the meat dishes on their menu.A very good location for a meal with family or friends.
