If you want to splurge $ this Italian is for you. Setting is beautiful, the food is truly Italian, flavors are superb, wine and drinks selection really nice. Great place to see some famous faces 2.

A London institution- has served simple delicious fine Italian dining for 25 years+. Michelin star , modern restaurant space by Richard Rogers (Pompidou Centre etc), not cheap , plenty of famous faces .

Big name on the London food scene - tasty consistent dishes, nice setting, excellent service. I particularly enjoyed the desserts - you can order half portions if you can't decide

Absolutely exquisite food and hella elegant. On a sunny day, a walk along the river for lunch at the River Cafe is one of the great London experiences. The Chocolate Nemesis is as good as it sounds...

Decent food, subpar wine list and unacceptable service/mis en place for a place of this level. The place is actually nice thus with a little bit of training and a new wine list it could be worth it.

Beautiful sitting out in the sun at lunch . Great for families. Very child friendly . And of course the food is fantastic.

They have a good value set menu for lunch , smaller portions than ordering off the main menu but then you get to try more. The lemon tart is yum!!

Superb food, no doubt. Monkfish , pasta , and asparagus were all simple, yet so fresh and tasty. However, tables are very close together and 2 hr time slots too fast turnaround, poor given high prices

Definitely recommend it... Very nice Italian food , amazing wine and very friendly staff . However, the lunch time should be nicer as you will have the proper view of the river . Enjoy!

Cosy, yet classy environment ; grilled artichokes , taglierini pomodoro , game birds, i.e. Woodcock, pigeon; extensive Italian wine selection

Truly one of finest Italian Restaurant in London if not all of Europe. It's in heart of Residential area in Hammersmith. Do not miss!!!!

Great location for a weekend lunch . The fish was cooked perfectly and very tasty, one of the best I had in London:definitely worth the long waiting ????

The founding father of Fine Italian cuisine in London. For special events , book in advance and it's lovely to sit outside in the summer.

It is very expensive and a long way from my home, but whenever the first hot, blue-sky day of spring comes along, I think, “River Café!” and phone to beg an outside table ... Read more

Great food. Great service. Very expensive . Worth it !!!

"A little further afield than the others but definitely not one to be missed. The food is just gorgeous and with seasonal menus , you're in for a real treat."

A little further a field that the others but definitely not one to be missed. The food is just gorgeous and with seasonal menus , you're in for a real treat.

Great, fresh creative Italian food which has gone through a reboot. A wats out of central London but worth the visit.

Stellar!! Into the top 5 in London

Lovely food, rather pricey but the food is good. The sun refused to shine but it was warm so we had a table outside .

Slow braised veal shin was amazing, atmosphere is light and enjoyable and the service was great

The reputation of river cafe speaks for itself. We expected top quality service and food. However, my experience did not measure up to its reputation.

Didn't meet my expectations, food was tasty but not outstanding. I've had similar for cheaper elsewhere. Highlight was the chocolate nemesis and chocolate hazelnut cakes . Ask for half half ????

Perhaps slightly out of the way but most definitely worth a visit for anyone in the area.

I’m here now it’s 2:30pm and the restaurant is still OPEN .. the timings listed are wrong !

Great for the atmosphere, food is good but not Michelin-star worthy per se

Tasty food and good service , though not sure it was worth a special trip

Great food, nice outdoor view , lovely place

Fabulous food, fabulous staff , one of London's best!

Beneath the office of architect Sir Richard Rogers is the famous restaurant run by his wife Ruth. Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall both trained in the kitchens here.

Inside or outside this place is a great contemporary restaurant . Service is excellent and the staff are really friendly . As for the food... First class .

Book well ahead for the chance to try chargrilled Scottish scallops and melt-in-the-mouth gnocchi . Read more

Wonderful staff , pasta of dreams and meats cooked to perfection

Great food, great service, lovely atmosphere, if only I could live here.

Food is solid good, but they know it..so it looks a bit contemptuous

One Michelin star .

Amazing food and great buzzing atmosphere

Tip from happy Katya: fried zucchini is so good,ham and figs , soup ! And desserts ! I like this place!

Excellent food and service! Skate wings are amazing!

“Quite possibly my favorite Italian restaurant in the world.” - Danny Meyer Read more

Amazing place and great service. Best to grab a table outside on a sunny Friday afternoon late lunch for work. Read more

Cafe latte , beans and pouched eggs on toast ????????

Fresh monkfish ever ????

Only go if you live in London and someone with money to burn is taking you. The food is very good but the prices are insane.

Best peach Bellini I have ever had!

the monkfish when they have it. The people!

Simply awesome Italian restaurant in London

Crab starter then the Monkfish
