Giacomo's — Restaurant in London

For some reason this restaurant is not on Trip Advisor: perhaps that’s a good thing as it is already quite busy - or it was when I ate there with a friend recently. On a Saturday night it was full of family groups, mostly local regulars I’d say, but we were quickly found a table, given a menu, ordered food and pleasantly served, all with great bonhomie but no fuss.

No starter needed, with crusty Bread on the table to dip in flavourful olive oil. Liver dishes seem to be a specialty of the house and mine was delicious, tender (£12). On the side I had asparagus with egg. The latter was served, untraditionally but still tasty, fried and laid on top of the spears. My friend had Giacomo’s own "pasta di casa", Tagliatelle verdi ai funghi, which delighted her with it’s unusual colour and combination of flavours (£9.50).

To finish, we had a glass each of Amaretto and a chat with the owners; father and son.

A lovely meal at a great price - highly...

Giacomo's rustic and homely vibe is a good find in London 🇮🇹 My husband and I wanted to try here since we saw its many positive reviews.

Inside the restaurant is beautifully decorated and reminds you of being in a village with its wooden ceiling and exposed brick walls, giving a very relaxing and inviting environment 🪴

The menu is Italian, offering many traditional dishes. A lot of variety is offered, with many pasta dishes and meat dishes offered 🍝

If you are a lover of spice 🌶️ I highly recommend Spaghetti with olive oil, garlic and chilli. I have not found many Italian dishes are truly spicy!

The service is very friendly, with free amaretti biscuits given to us at the end of our meal 🍪 The price was very decent for the portion sizes.

Overall a very pleasant experience and I hope to come back again to try their specials menu...

We live in the neighborhood and have often seen this place packed on weekdays and weekends while walking by. So we were naturally curious to visit once. We can understand now why this place is so successful 😊 Cozy place with amazing food and atmosphere and very welcoming and warm hosts. We ordered avocado prawn, melon ham, ravioli with walnut sauce and one green pasta with mushroom we forgot the name, accompanied with house wine. The food was simply amazing and very generous portions. We were totally full but still went for dessert. We ordered the Tiramisu which was again amazing.

Highly recommended. We would definitely...
