Giacobazzi's Delicatessen — Restaurant in London

Giacobazzi's is one of Belsize Park's gems, open for 27 years, tucked away on Fleet Road serving as a perfect pitstop for those visiting Hampstead Heath. Serving freshly made Italian deli food including filled pastas made on site, truffle butter, desserts and a great selection of cheese and meat cuts. There is a large freezer selling family portions of lasagna, pasta and gelato. Give the sandwich counter a try. Some wonderful freshly made sandwiches including spicy salami with pecorino cheese and rocket.

Giacobazzi's is pricey but it delivers quality. With that said the price of their deli items including the sweet garlic, roasted peppers and asparagus - which you can order in increments of 100 grams - is steep with a price tag averaging £4 per 100 grams.

Increasingly Giacobazzi caters to the wealthy clients in the area offering delivery and preparation of everything needed for a meal, from the breadsticks and olives to the seasonal cakes. Giacobazzi's quality comes at a price, with most items priced at a premium. Having visited regularly for years I have noticed the portion sizes getting smaller. This is probably the only area of Giacobazzi that has not kept to their high standards.

Surprisingly, Giacobazzi's owners foray into restauranting did not go well. Having opened Osteria Emilia along along Fleet Road, the Italian restaurant closed quite quickly and it is now a popular...

This place has the best focaccia I have found in London. I lived in Italy for years and when you enter Giacobazzis iť is like stepping into a deli in an Italian town or village. There is a huge selection of everything Italian you can imagine. Fresh pasta, ravioli, tortellini and more. There are many other delicious cooked foods. The Tuna sandwiches deserve a special mention as I hate Tuna but bought a sandwich for my wife and ate some of it and the Tuna was delicious and mild. It turns out it is a specific brand of tuna that isn't overpowering in smell but mild and tasty. You can also order food for catering or events. I ordered five trays of focaccia for our wedding vow renewal and everybody loved it. My wife has been very ill for years and every time I visit her at the Royal Free hospital or the Marie Curie hospice I try and pick up something from Giacobazzis (especially the focaccia) and my wife loves it. I could go on but if you are ever in the area visit Giacobazzis. You...

Giacobazzi’s is very close to my heart as I first went there in 1992 whilst at medical school at the Royal Free Hospital. It’s a hidden Italian Gem in the heart of Hampstead. I would treat myself once a week for 5 years to their delicious sandwiches on Ciabatta/Foccacia. I always had Tuna and the scrumptious home made roasted red peppers in olive oil and fresh Basil. In 2000 I moved out of Hampstead and returned for my favourite sandwich in 2010 when I went to Hampstead Heath for a walk with my dog. Then I visited today as 15 years later and almost 32 years ago when I first went here. Amazingly they still did my sandwich and the original owner still there. I love this place the Italian food and lovely hospitality and service always friendly and chatty. You made my day today. Thank you and hope to see you more often as I will be visiting a friend in the area....
