About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
It’s the shape that strikes you first, a series of tall alcoves in the basement of historic Leadenhall Market in the City of London. Yet it’s anything but dark. Smooth white walls, matching table linen and spotlighting create a bright, private space well-suited to confidential high-powered lunches. The menu’s Italian, a skillful combination of simple modern Italian and traditional regional recipes, to be precise. Specials change every few days, but the pasta is always homemade. Excellent fish dishes. Diverse wine list, in both price and character. Professional service.

    The service was absolutely amazing. Our group felt like we were dining at the table in a home in Italy. We were promptly welcomed when we walked into the restaurant. Giorgio’s opens at 6pm (they shut down for a few hours after lunch) and we had a 6 pm reservation as we had two kids under 7 with us. Bread was immediately brought for our selection . They came over with a very large flat best of breads to choose from. The breads were offered multiple times throughout dinner. Our server was well aware of children being hungry which leads to crankiness so he asked what they wanted for dinner when taking our drink orders and brought it to the table quickly. The bartender (owner?) came over unsolicited and asked us how our drinks were. The drinks were good with the only hiccup was me using the wrong words for a lime twist and have a slice of lime squeezed into my vodka on the rocks. Throughout dinner staff came over to make sure we were happy and felt taken care of. The best part was when we were served shots of limoncello after dinner. The perfect ending to a good meal. The portions are huge so you probably want to share some dishes. On our bill it stated that we ordered large sizes of the food. There was no indication you could ordered smaller sizes off of the menu. The food is very rich and it’s not a light meal. If you want a view, this is not the place to go as it is in a basement but you wouldn’t know that from inside except for walking down the steps. It was spacious, well lit and the ceilings were high. We had to go down a twisted staircase and since we as a group have no mobility issues I am unaware if they have a lift. We were at our table for easily two hours and never felt rushed. I would recommend a visit here while in London.

    The scallops were very good, the fillet was a bit dry and not too tasty. The selection of wines was good and reasonably priced.

    This is a hidden gem in the heart of the city of London. Leadenhall Market is busling outisde, but this downstairs restaurant is a haven of calm. The food is authenic Italian with an excellent selection of seafood options. Tried out the scallops, crab salad, lobster linguine, and crusted salmon. Excellent from start to finish. Extensive wine list and Italian spirts such as Grappa are on the menu too. The price does reflect the quality and location, but the service was excellent throughout. We will be back soon.
