Excellent evening in one of the best Italian restaurants in London. The arancini , tuna steak, pasta with crab and the arrabbiata were excellent. The service was friendly and efficient. Good value and interesting wall photos and sports memorabilia.

We had two simple, classic dishes - linguine all vongole and vitello milanese. Both servings were generous and delicious, exhibiting a professional touch well above the level that one might expect. We’ll be back!

Excellent food and super friendly service make Taberna Etrusca the perfect choice for a lunchtime meal in the city. The calamari starter was nicely prepared and succulent and the special of salmon and pappardelle was a delight. Definitely worth a visit.
