The pasta here is delicious and big portion. Mouth watering just thinking back the food I had there. The Italian waiters there are lovely. It's one of my favourite local restaurants.

Il Bordello serves good traditional honest Italian food in Wapping. We had the garlic pizza (thin and crispy, with delicious tomato sauce) and very generous portions of pasta (aglio e olio and all'amatriciana, both very good). For dessert, the tiramisù and the mango sorbet again came in very generous quantities. Overall, one to go back to!

The thing to keep in mind at Il Bordello is that portion sizes are generous and so you really don't need to over order - at all. Even if you're tempted to just try an extra starter or something because everyone else around you has amazing looking food, don't. The food is amazing but I can guarantee you that you'll finish your starters and wonder why you ordered so much. Why? Because we did it. And it was amazing, but after our starters (three between two), we were groaning (and only partly because it was so good). Accordingly, Il Bordello gets busy so do book a table. It's a restaurant with a lively atmosphere and even though we went around 3.30pm on a Sunday, every table was full. Deservedly so, everything we ate was amazing.

As a pizza lover who had heard so much I was looking forward to this.

It started so well...engaging and fun staff (when will they learn this is half the battle! Well done on this front Il Bordello...buy them all a drink on the house), well sized and delicious starters and then the pizza.

Now I'm a generous guy...even a so-so pizza is pretty good. And this was a pretty good pizza...well better than that...it was very nice...but my boots ain't shaking. I was happy but with Time Out etc raving I was expecting more.

Happy enough and if I went back I'd try the pasta but...but...BUT! I encourage everyone to try this place once.... The staff alone are worth the trip

Super busy and loud, but food was very good and the service was as well. Portion sizes are huge. Menu with lots options and a board with at least 15 additional specials that night. Highly recommend.

Italian food at is best. Great menu, supersize servings, conscientious waiters, great tasting food, excellent wines. If you measure value for money by the size of the serving, then your in for a treat. If you measure vfm by the quality of the food, then your in for a treat. If you measure vfm by the no nonsense yet friendly and modern atmosphere, then your also in for a treat. Expert waiters serving expertly prepared dishes. Faultless, a great night was had by all. Four meals with wine and coffee £90.00.

10/10 everytime without fail. Real italian food. So many noticably fresh ingredients in the food no matter what you order. Service is amazing. Some of the best in London easily. It's reasonably fast, mouth wateringly tasty, best service i've experienced, warm and welcoming atmosphere and the value is excellent for the quality. Visit the bordello. I'm hooked, you will be!

There’s only one place you need to be lured into the back streets of Wapping, even sometimes deem dangerous looking at night with it’s tall towering blocks and warehouses in the area. That place would be Il  Bordello, it was a spontaneous decision with me fancying Italian food, and I heard many good things about the restaurant from my friends and decided to try it out. Turning up with reservations on a Saturday night we were luckily enough to get a table for 4. Upon arrival, the loud conversations of people just chatting away, clinking glasses and waiters running about greeted us.

Il Bordello has been on my hit list for a long time now; I've only ever heard good things about it, it hasn't changed since it opened it's doors and it is always rammed. If it ain't broke don't fix it is clearly the maxim of the day. We went down late on Friday night and had booked for their second sitting; we've finally moved into our new flat and this meal was our little goodbye to Wapping. The restaurant was buzzing to say the least, with the second service of the evening in full swing we were quickly shown to our table mostly to get us out of the door as more people were pouring grabbing take aways and waiting for tables. It's a good sign when people are waiting, makes me glad we had the fore sight to phone ahead as we were starving after much heavy lifting and moving furniture about. Getting down to business and the menu is old school Italian, the kind of Italian that was fashionable in the 80's and wouldn't feel out of place in a gangster movie. It's fairly simple food but you ha

Top tip: Make sure to secure a reservation in advance as this place is consistently bustling with customers. This charming, old-school Italian restaurant exudes a wonderful atmosphere. The quality of their food and the service they provide is truly excellent. Each dish is meticulously prepared with fresh ingredients, resulting in a culinary experience that leaves nothing to be desired. You'll find that the prices are reasonable, making your dining experience even more enjoyable. Don't miss the chance to experience this hidden gem of a restaurant.

Quaint family owned restaurant based in Wapping, serving authentic Italian food. I went with two other friends who have been here many times before, this being my first visit. I had heard very good things about the food here so was excited to finally try. For starters we ordered the garlic bread and mussels, the portions were perfect for sharing. For mains I went for the salmon pasta which was seasoned beautifully and cooked well. I also tried some of the mushroom ravioli which was just as good being a vegetarian dish. There was a good ambience with a mix of different people. This place is suitable for dates, catch up with friends and celebrating birthdays accommodating small and larger groups. The service could be a little slow at times, however it was very busy and we didn’t mind too much as it gave time for us to socialise over bottles of wine. I would highly recommend trying here and I will definitely be returning. One of my friends is gluten intolerant and the menu was accommodating, having different options for and gluten free pasta. It is great value for money and you will leave full after eating here!

This place smelled like 90s nostalgia. The kind of smell that we smelled at restaurants as a kid 🫶🏽 it’s family run restaurant, the average age of the waiters was 55 & they all wore waistcoats & bows. Food was top notch, im a fussy eater and this reminded me of what I miss from my home - good comforting food with great taste. Less is more as it’s all about the produce

Has been a favourite for a while. New location, sort of, but the food is great. The pasta dishes are definitely 5 star, the pizza is good but not up to the pasta level. If you’ve never been try it. Portions are very large so one pizza and one pasta will be plenty for two people. You won’t need a starter. The service is ok. Used to be quite unique in that the waiters were old school. Take your time, couples should be sat next to each other rather than opposite etc. Quaint and novel. Now it’s more functional. Highly recommend you try for the food.

Been here for pizza and it wasn’t great. The dough was similar to some supermarket frozen pizzas. A lot of mozzarella and a lot of water from the vegetables pulling in the middle. The campari spritz were good. Do book in advance otherwise you will never find a table.

Dinners here remind me of holidays in Italy. Dishes are authentic and delightful! For me, this is the best Italian restaurant in London. My favourite dishes are the seafood pasta, seafood risotto and mushroom ravioli. Booking-wise, do it early or you won’t get any on short notice, especially weekends. I’m recommending at least 2 weeks before.

I went there with my boyfriend, as soon as we entered we got a warm greeting from Italian waiters, they give you advice if you ask for the recommended dish. The service is fast! The food is amazing, it melts in your mouth! You can taste that the quality of the ingredients are very high, it reminds me of my Italian home. I would come here again!

Very enjoyable dinner on a Sunday evening; food incredible as always and great atmosphere for a birthday meal. Service a tad slower than usual but restaurant was very busy. Always a pleasure eating here.

Feels like I've been transported to an authentic family-run restaurant in Italy 🇮🇹Great vibes, service, and FOOD🤌 Big menu with generous portion sizes too! Highly recommend the seafood pastas, would go back to try more 😋 However, do avoid the creme caramel dessert - tasted odd.
