November 2018: Il Bordello has moved to Metropolitan Wharf
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Wapping’s favourite” for more than 20 years – this “classic local Italian trat” scores well for its “friendly service”, “and the food remains terrific”. There’s a recurrent complaint – rare elsewhere – that “portions are too large”, but to both management and happy regulars this is without doubt a badge of honour.
Summary
This “enduringly appealing”, “family-run Italian in fashionable Wapping is always packed, so you have to book well ahead”. It’s “so noisy the children can’t be heard”, and the “old-style cooking (good pizzas and pasta) means no one leaves hungry” – in fact, “the only fault is that the servings are too large!”.
Summary
“Love the place!” – a fixture in Wapping, this “very traditional Italian” is “always thrumming, which gives it a terrific atmosphere”. “Always good value”, it’s “unchanged for years – including the waiters...”.
Summary
“Cosy, friendly, lively, jolly” – this “quintessential neighbourhood Italian restaurant in Wapping is always overcrowded (a good sign)” and has particularly “enthusiastic” service. “It churns out huge portions of wholesome grub” (in particular “brilliant pizza”) – “even when you are at your hungriest, you will find it hard to finish your plate!”
