Giorgio - (Near City of London, South East)

4 /5 Nathalia Ruegger: Very nice food and friendly staff. I had to update this review. We have first been here 7 years ago and absolutely loved it. We dreamed about returning but never could. We finally came back, and às though the place is still the same, very friendly staff and perfectly cooked food, there were a few surprises. Às many other reviews had mentioned already, we were not expecting the additional charges (cover charge; water charge; very expensive house wine; gratuity added…). Although this looks like it has become a wilder practice in London, many restaurants were doing the same. The bill was far more than we were expecting.

5 /5 Sharon Smith: We’d not pre booked, it was early Monday afternoon (22nd Dec)…we had our very small cavapoochon & they were very welcoming. It’s fair to say they don’t openly advertise a dogs welcome policy, but if you ask & they can accommodate your pooch they will (subject to other guest bookings). The food was excellent, the service very good. I appreciate the comments about the house wine costs, service & cover charge - this is London!!! An independent & authentic restaurant of very good quality food…what’s not to like? We would definitely return - thank you Giorgio’s we loved it.

4 /5 Laura FVC: I had clams linguine, tiramisù and a glass of white wine. The food was quite nice, although I found a bit of sand with the clams (I had worse levels in other restaurants, this was just a bit). Tiramisù is nice but comes with booze, so be aware to ask. The staff is really nice, attentive and courteous and for me this was the best part of the meal. However be aware that as well as a 12.5% tip, they also charge a cover charge (the famous Italian coperto) of £2.50. This annoyed me as I see the point of it in Italy were there is not a tip included in the bill, but in my 16 years in the UK, its the first time I see it added in UK. Thats cheeky and I mentioned it to the owner. I just hope theyll remove it. Would I go back again? Yes, absolutely, but once they remove the cover charge from their policy.

5 /5 Makiko Ushikoshi: ​We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and didnt hesitate to seat us even though we showed up ahead of our reservation. The interior was spotless, the food was excellent, and the lively yet warm ambiance made it perfect for any occasion—whether its a business meal or a casual get-together.

3 /5 Arielle Jocktane: I believe that you can eat way better Italian cuisine and cheaper somewhere else. The service was not on point for again the price of what you are paying. Again a personal opinion. I would not recommend this restaurant.
