Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

From the moment my daughter and I walked in the door (without reservations) we were treated like family. The small quaint atmosphere and attentive staff of ZAZZA, MASSIMO, LUIGI, AURONIO and of course GIUSEPPE the owner were impeccable. We ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese made fresh...that morning. Every bite was a delight, I cannot wait to return to Giuseppe's. Highly recommended!!!! We will be back!More

Truely unique restaurant bursting with charisma. Excellent quality food, the staff like to get to know their customers and the live music can’t fail to put a smile on your face. Try the sea food spaghetti, lobster ravioli or the chicken crème funghi. That’s amore...and I want more…More

Family trip to London, fancied a top quality authentic Italian. After much searching, decided on Giuseppe’s, near Borough market. Made a reservation - no problemo ! Lovely authentic italian restaurant tucked away off the main road, typical old school Italian decor. Service was good, food...was amazing, bruschetta, pasta, pizza - delicious! washed down with a smooth house red. The main man was in the house, Giuseppe (owner) himself, enjoying food and wine with friends. He took the time to greet and speak with diners, and we had a selfie with him. lovely touch ! Gratis round of limoncello shots and the Italian job was done and dusted. La ringrazio molto Giuseppe’s ! - Highly recommended.More

Love this place. Visited on a Saturday evening with friends and family. The place was rocking Live singer doing the classic swing songs, the atmosphere was fantastic Food wise, the bruschetta was amazing, and the calamari got an ‘amazing and beautiful’ rating from my son....The pizzas are freshly made and good size, and I was reliable informed that the pasta dishes are also amazing To top the night off, Giuseppe himself did the rounds and spoke to everyone and made the evening even better It’s classic rustic Italian and worth a visitMore

Very low-end product, the price is way too expensive. The ham is an industrial quality ham while the pizza costs £18 The waitress is not friendly, to be avoided.

We booked to go here after seeing how fun and busy it looked on instagram. It was a very nice meal and the staff were moderately friendly but the place itself is hidden away and there weren’t many people eating inside. The music was a...singer but was quite quiet. Service could have been slightly quicker and friendlier. Not sad I went but would not rush back which was a shame because it looked great online.More

This place is AMAZING. I am gluten-free, so it can be difficult to find restaurants for me and my family to enjoy. I am SO glad we went here. My younger son (12) is very picky but raved about his lasagna. My older son (13)...got spaghetti and loved it. My husband got an appetizer because he was still full from lunch, but he loved it. I got the steak; it was the best I had in London. The staff was very friendly, and we loved our server. It was so great my younger son wanted to go back, but we didn't have time. Highly recommend this restaurant! FYI we entered on the side street, not the main street.More

Southwark
Even before the arrival of the instantly iconic Shard,
the riverside scene in Southwark had moved well beyond
any up-and-coming phase of development. For quite some
time, locals and out-of-towners alike have loved
browsing the boutiques of Bermondsey High Street,
foraging through the bounteous stalls at centuries old
foodie haven Borough Market, and flocking to the banks
