Welcome to Giovanni’s Italian Restaurant in Covent Garden
Giovanni’s is a cosy Italian restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden. Tucked away in a historic alleyway dating back to 1690 providing a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of London’s West End.
Centrally located in close proximity to the theatre houses and fabulous shopping.
Giovanni’s is perfectly placed for a spot of lunch, pre-theatre supper, a cosy dinner, a celebration meal or an after-theatre feast.
A family-run, independent restaurant serving the best of Italian dishes with a Sicilian flair, staying true to the recipes that have been cherished and handed down from one generation to another over centuries. This is why we’re famous for offering authentic Italian dishes including the best pasta Covent Garden has to offer.
The Ragona Family
The Ragona family, now headed by Pino Ragona have been serving food in London since 1952 and have a simple philosophy of delivering authentic Italian dishes, using only the finest of ingredients. Served with a warm Sicilian charm that has been nurtured through centuries of their noble heritage.
