Amerigo Vespucci

What a great gem of a restaurant, I took my mum to Amerigo Vespucci's for a lunch time treat.

We were met at the door and shown straight to our table. We both chose a cocktail, which were perfect.

I had the mixed grilled fish and my mum had the lobster, which were both on the specials.

I think this restaurant is a fantastic place for any occasions.

I do have one complaint!! That the weather was not better, as i would have liked to sit alfresco.

I have just been to Amerigo Vespucci with two friends. We have ordered two pasta dishes and one of cannelloni. Both pastas were excellent and the canneloni despite being good would require some extra sauce. The dessert with Oreo was excellent! The limoncello was OKish…could be better!

The Romanian and Spanish employees were very kind! I am sorry I didn’t get to know their names….

The only thing I didn't like at this restaurant was the fact that they didn't bring me straight away a bill specifying the price of each item ordered. I have asked one of the waiters what each amount on the bill covered and he was having a guess at what could be included. Later on fortunately another employee had the good sense of bringing a clearer bill in which I could see finally what I was paying for.…. Is it asking too much to know what you are paying for?

We went to dinner there 2 days ago and we had a fantastic time, we got there 45 minutes early but that wasn't a problem. Everyone was very kind and friendly. Service was quick and the food, well I went for the Lasagne and it was the best one have every had. Great evening.

Our party of four visited the restaurant on the evening of Friday 15th February after chosing the venue as we were staying in near Canary Wharf. The restaurant was busy but from our arrival, the staff made us very welcome and the service all evening was superb. The menu was very varied and a good choice for all tastes.

We all had different starters, main courses and desserts. There wasn't one complaint about any of the dishes which were all very tasty and beautifully presented. We are not regular visitors to London but I would make a point of returning the restauant again, particularly during the day for lunch in the summer as the views looked great from the tables outside. I look forward to returning soon.

I liked it at Amerigo Vespucci, have been more than once now and thought I would share my views, food and service have been great each time, staff are very polite and make you feel welcome, can get very busy, especially for lunch so I suggest book before.

Words of advice, check out the daily specials.. Always something good and tasty to eat.

I’d say this is one of the better restaurants in Canary Wharf.

Keep up the good work.

was very disappointed to be honest, there was a group of seven of us and they had put us on a table for 2 or thats what it seemed.

One of the party didnt have the right starter delivered to them so when mentioned to the waiter he thought I had his and took it away from me and gave it to my colleage while I was tucking into it, what he had missed was that two of us had ordered the same starter and they had brought the wrong one out.

I didnt get any veg as there wasnt enough to go around in the first order so mentioned to the waiter to get us some more but it never materialised.

Think perhaps we just hit an off night.

Overall bit disappointed thought the price didnt reflect the quality of the food or service.

If you like a good bottle of wine and want to impress your clients, try the single Vinyard Amarone. It's not cheap but very intense, great flavours.

I'm going back next week to see what other great wines they have on there wine list.

I have eaten in many Italian restaurants in my time, but this place is by far the best of them all . The decor is moden but not over the top.

I had the risotto with wild porcini mushrooms, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. At last a restaurant that is good.
