Lovely Italian theme restaurant by the side of the canal in little Venice. The Sunday roast was exceptional - the roast pork was a thick slab of meat, but so tender and juicy and a generous yorkshire pudding. The roast beef felt undersized as a comparison but still tasty.

Nice, friendly atmosphere. Despite the weather, the huge outdoor terrace with 'fire pit' style heating was very popular. Good portion sizes. Would recommend the chicken wings starter and the salmon for mains (with a side order of something). I was surprised at how full I was at the end! Sorry about the lack of menu and so hungry forgot to take photos of the starters 😛

We stopped in this riverside restaurant while exploring little Venice. They mainly have italian food, which is really tasty. Portions are enormous. We started with excellent bruschetta with veggies and ricotta. We tried some pastas, gnocchi and ceasars salad - all tasty. Roasted chicken with yorkshire pudding, veggies and potatoes was done to perfection. I cannot remember rhe last time I had such a great tasting chicken. Wine - perfect red full body i recommend this restaurant, it is worth trying.

I’ve been a loyal patron of Waterways for decades, so it is truly disheartening to see the standard slip so drastically. The stale bread alone, charged at £6, is utterly shocking, and the roast, everything cold, pre-prepared, lacking any finesse, is nothing short of embarrassing. For a place with such a longstanding reputation, this decline is deeply disappointing to locals who have watched it with fondness for years. Disheartened.
