Our Guestbook
“ We went to Tempio on a Friday evening without booking and although the place was busy, we managed to get a table for two. The atmosphere was great, as was the service. Food was fantastic - there is a specials board. This is not a tourist trap chain so if you are looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in London this is worth a visit. It's also very close to the river, so following a meal, why not take a walk along the Thames? ”

“ A hidden gem. A great value restaurant with good quality food and friendly and efficient staff. Large portion sizes, so I order a smaller portion when having lunch. Well worth a visit. Is accessed by stairs so not good for those who find stairs difficult. ”
“ Found this gem close to Blackfriar’s bridge. The food came quick and was tasty and cooked just right. My steak was medium and never dried out. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The blood orange sorbet was tangy and a nice difference from a regular orange sherbet. ”
