http://www.london-eating.co.uk/22856.htm Metrogusto (Islington) Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating We found this good and bad. The monk fish carpaccio starter was excellent, but the sea bass in wine and beetroot sauce very bland. The 3 course pre-movie menu (6pm-9pm) which my colleague had, was good value. Big tick for the vegetables - which were good - being included in the price of the mains. Wine prices are a deterrent. Bottles start ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm I've eaten plenty of times at Metrogusto, both just with my wife and also with friends. The food has alwys been wonderful - both original and varied. I've never had any complaints, nor has anyone with me. On the contrary, we've always appreciated both the food and the courtesy of the staff. The fact that it is almost always crowded ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm Metrogusto.............it is all about a wonderful experience.....I was reccomended by a close friend and supplier of the Metrogusto and have really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Thought it was on a busy Saturday, service has been fantastic and a careful and knowledged wine list was explained by the manager. Pasta was great and both my ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm I dined at Metrogusto last night and found that it continues to be one of the best restaurants in Islington and probably one of the best Italians in London. Its has two main rivals near Upper Street, the Almeida and Fredricks. The Almeida may have slightly lost its edge since Conran sold, and Fredricks, can be very hit and miss on availability ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm This is probably the worst Italian restaurant in Islington. The service is terrible as is the quality of the food. Even my Italian husband was disappointed by the awful attitude shown to us by the staff! http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm Metrogusto has become a very special place for us over the last five years - so much so that I try not to tell people about it. It's not modern - there's no "branding", you're never rushed, the lights are never put up to push you to leave and the art is powerful, dark and interesting. instead, it is a place to enjoy new wine - one ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm I had lunch with my family at Metrogusto yesterday and it was really quite bad. I have been many times over the years and this is only the second bad experience I have had. The regular front of house chap, a charming greying Italian, is a wonderful host and very engaging plus the food is usually reliable and inventive but yesterday it was ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm definately the best place I have ever eaten, in islington or anywhere else in the UK. I would recommend to anyoe who enjoys great service, a warm welcome and some of the most interesting and tasty dishes I have ever had. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm We discovered Metrogusto a few months ago, and now go back regularly. It is in our opinion the best restaurant in Islington, better than Frederick's and better and friendlier than the Almeida. The food is consistently good, the wine choice great, and the ambience is v relaxing. But what really gives it the prize is the service. Ambro is a ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm Metrogusto is one of my favourite places in London. The food and the atmosphere is just brilliant. In fact it is very rare to find a restaurant in London, which is run with so much passion than this place! http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1844.htm
