Murano

Andrew Jones (4 February 2009)

Amazing! For our second wedding anniversary my wife and I booked Murano for lunch yesterday. We have eaten at some super places in the past in London, but this put the others in the shade. Only Passione on Charlotte Street run by Jamie's mentor Gerardo can come close. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel special, valued and above all like they wanted to make sure we had the most enjoyable time. They simply excelled on all counts. Décor, ambience, attitude of staff, attentiveness, and attention to detail were all first rate. The food was also top notch. My wife's tuna was exquisitely prepared and tasted sublime. The wine was a 1991 Cote Du Rhone that was light and fruity and thus was a perfect partner to our stone bass main course on beans and spicy sausage. Desserts and cheese continued the theme of excellence and combined with a small intimate feel to the restaurant and waiters who smiled naturally; this was and will be forever a lunch to remember. Well done to Angela Hartnett and her team for helping make our anniversary so special.
