Il Bacino

The best Italian restaurant in London for me. Delicious food, friendly and efficient customer service. Spacious inside. I like that they don't try to upsell unlike many other restaurants in London. My crab ravioli was superb! My partner's pizza was wonderful! Can't wait to go back and try more dishes there 🙂

I love this restaurant! Staff atmosphere and food is always spot on! When I'm feeling for Italian food I drive far to get to this place.

Best restaurant I’ve been to in a long time! We had a booking for 5 people early in the evening before ABBA voyage, which is easy to get to on the DLR. We were worried since the restaurant wasn’t full when we arrived, but we were extremely pleasantly surprised. The food was well priced, and was also generously portioned. Would recommend to everyone looking for Italian food in this area, and will be back again. The food tasted amazing, the service was fantastic, and everything was very reasonably priced. Thank you!

Great friendly staff, each and everyone of them, food was delicious too reminded me of my time in Roma,portions were generous too as will most Italian restaurants, will surely be back again when in London. The Mocktail was really good not sure what it’s called but it had coconut in it

Il Bacino is a little slice of Italy in east London. The food and ambience is amazing. Staff is efficient and friendly. The food is exceptionally good. The restaurant is next to tobacco dock and nestled in a park setting. Great food and service, can't wait to return!

This is the best restaurant I've been to in a long time. Service 5 star 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 food lobster linguine 5 star 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟. Scallops and prawn risotto 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Recommend a visit.

Amazing genuine Italian restaurant (Italian chef and staff) with lovely service and delicious menu! It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it! It was our second visit and we'll definitely be back soon! Great wine selection and don't ignore the specials menu! We had arancini and octopus salad for starters, both were very tasty (octopus nice and tender and arancini simply brilliant with an amazing tomato sauce). For mains my husband had swordfish which was very fresh and juicy and I had crab ravioli that were delicious! We also shared a tiramisu for dessert, which was light and fresh, just as it should be. One of the best places for fish/seafood in London in my opinion! If you are in the area I highly recommend you give it a try!

The most authentic Italian I've had in London and I've been to Italy a few times. Everything is 5 star from the pasta to the pizza..location and premises also really nice

Lovely, classic and welcoming Italian restaurant.
I've been here already a few times and has always been a great experience.
The food is absolutely delicious and well presented and the whole staff professional and friendly!
We will definitely see you soon!

Everything about this restaurant was excellent.
Fabio was an excellent host and recommended great dishes.
He ensured we were always satisfied and was a warm character.

We had dinner for 4, and would recommend to others.
We will be visiting again.

Truffle Night - Amazing
We visited the restaurant last night where they had a guest chef and had a Truffle infusion set meal.
That was absolutely amazing!
Well done!
The pictures I have placed and from my last visit.

Must visit!

This below is my original review:
Very good Italian Restaurant.
Staff is friendly and the food is great.
Please, be aware that the portions are massive.

From the moment we entered the restaurant to the time we left, this place has become my new local favourite. Our waitress was lovely, the food arrived which was great portions, well priced and had AMAZING taste. I finished the entire pizza. The seafood risotto was also tasty and amazing. I’m so happy to find this place in my neighbourhood. Highly highly recommended!!!

Authentic Italian restaurant with a very homey feeling to it. Great for a big family celebration, for a business lunch or a date night. Delicious foods in great quantities and the service is impeccable.

Excellent Italian restaurant.
We had a late dinner this evening and were so happy to find this restaurant still open at 9PM for a Sunday, exactly what we needed after a long day at the airport.
This place is the perfect mix between traditional italian gastronomy and modern decoration.
The team is very attentionate and friendly, and we can feel the good vibes and dynamism of the manager. They're doing very great.
About the food, the pizzas were generous, delicious and so big that we had to take some pieces home.

As we've been to Italy and tried several Italian restaurants, we definitely recommend Il Bacino and will keep it in one of our favourite places in London!

We went in here to just get a hot drink with our Autistic Daughter and the manager was absolutely amazing with our daughter she was smiling from the moment she walked in to the moment we left. The Hot chocolate was lovely too.
We highly recommend this place.
It is a very clean, well looked after and the staff are amazing.

Great food, Great service. Am a returning customer, always have a great time when we go there! huge and delicious pizzas and yummy seafood pasta ! definitely recommend - amazing cocktails too! (DOG FRIENDLY outside! bring your pooch to have an amazing boozy italian meal!

Delicious food and attentive staff. I highly recommend the Tagliolini Gamberoni & Zucchini

Absolutely amazing , food is delicious, staff extremely friendly, our waiter Alessandro was superb. Will definitely come back

Just had a meal with work there and the food was fantastic! Recommend the sangiovesse wine! Great service also.

Lovely place, friendly and efficient and excellent food. The cocktails are good too. The portions are quite generous so bare this in mind when ordering as depending on your appetite you could find yourself full-up after your starter.
