• Italian • Bank
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.

    Love the place, and it’s only our 2nd visit! Staff are super friendly and the food has been fabulous on both occasions. The menu is quite small - but that just means they do everything perfectly and you don’t have to wait and age for it! Definitely will be back soon (probably for their Amazing Sunday Lunch)

    Loved it. We came for the Valentine’s Day experience. Staff were attentive and very helpful from seating to explaining dishes and serving us promptly. Ambiance was cosy with live music and comfy chairs. Food was incedible, not a bad thing to say about it! *chefs’ kiss*

    I had an amazing dining experience at Gaucho! The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, perfect for our anniversary celebration. We ordered the steak, and it was absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection, tender, and full of flavor. What really made the evening special was the thoughtful service. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, and to top it off, she surprised us with a special treat to celebrate our anniversary. It was such a kind gesture that made the night even more memorable. I highly recommend Gaucho for anyone looking for incredible food and exceptional service. We'll definitely be back!
