Reception

In January 2009, the Michelin Guide awarded the restaurant one star.[2] The star has been retained since then and, in 2014, Murano was again rated one star in the Michelin Guide. [6] In an October 2008 review, Matthew Norman of The Guardian lauded Murano's "superb" staff service and its "majestic" food.[7] Jasper Gerard of The Telegraph paid Murano a visit in September 2008, praising the quality of the food and giving it a score of 8.5 out of 10.[8] After sampling a few dishes at the restaurant, Zoe Williams of The Telegraph commented that "Murano proves the chauvanists wrong.[9] Women can - and do - cook to the highest level." A reviewer for the magazine Time Out wrote in an October 2012 review that she enjoyed the restaurant's "perfectly proportioned" crab tortelli, rating Murano with four out of five stars. On Murano's interior design, she wrote, "Plump upholstery, crisp linens and warm leather ensure a sumptuous, serene setting for a meal that draws as much on French fine dining as Italian staples".[1]
