Charming
Neighbourhood gem

Established in 1967, Taberna Etrusca is an Italian restaurant in the classic trattoria style, with textured walls, tiled floor, open-beamed ceiling and an overall timeless quality. A pretty courtyard catches the sun during the Summer with tables highly sought after. The entire restaurant can be hired evenings and weekends and being so perfectly situated next to Bow Bells Churchyard, wedding receptions are naturally popular here throughout the year.

Ordered the spaghetti with clams. Was bland, clams did not taste as fresh (more frozen) and too much oil. Disappointing if only a tenner, but was a lot more than this.

Few restaurants can claim to trade from the same premises for nearly 60 years - Taberna Etrusca is part of this exclusive club. Traditional Italian atmosphere moments from the heart of the City and St.Pauls. The staff were helpful without being intrusive, atmosphere is unrushed, efficient and relaxed. A must visit venue.
