    Very poor service, were told to leave by the manager without any reason. After we had ordered the mains, we were informed that there is a problem with the kitchen and we wouldn‘t be served the pasta dishes. It‘s a pity, because the starters was actually delicious. Overall a disappointing experience, Would not recommend.

    A hidden gem in the north of London, with a homely vibe but a massive personality, you really feel as if you’re part of the ambience. The food mirrored this with their small plates bursting with flavour. Friendly staff, cool vibes, highly recommend.

    Giacco’s is fast becoming my favourite dinner spot in Highbury. The food and wine is excellent, the service is welcoming and all are super knowledgeable about the wine and food. Such a beautiful setting - best place for a date, catch up with a friend or birthday.

    I visited this fabulous place on a personal recommendation and we were not disappointed. It’s a little piece of Florence transported to Finsbury Park. Cosy & friendly, we felt warmly welcomed. We started off with drinks perfectly complimented with some delicious, naked olives, just how I like them. We then both choose pasta dishes, my friend with porcini, I had tagliatelle with bolognaise, we enjoyed every mouthful. Desert had to be tiramisu, expresso & lemon cello. We were beautifully satisfied and have no hesitation in recommending to other diners.
