Buzzing with energy, steeped in culture and packed with must-visit attractions in Covent Garden, this shopping and entertainment hub is one of London’s most iconic destinations. From browsing boutique shops to catching a world-class show, Covent Garden offers the perfect day out, and it wouldn’t be complete without a visit to our authentic Italian restaurant in Covent Garden, right in the heart of it all.
Shop Until You Drop
Covent Garden is a shopper’s paradise. Whether you’re after designer labels, quirky independents, or something a little more artisan, there’s something here for every taste. Wander through the historic Apple Market, home to handcrafted jewellery, artwork and gifts, or browse high-end brands like Mulberry and Paul Smith along King Street.
For beauty lovers, the Piazza is lined with flagship stores from Charlotte Tilbury to Aesop. And don’t miss Floral Street, a colourful stretch of fashion, fragrance and flair.
See the Best of the West End
A night out in Covent Garden is never complete without watching a show. The area is surrounded by some of the West End’s most prestigious theatres, including the Royal Opera House, the Lyceum Theatre and the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Whether you’re in the mood for a musical, ballet, drama or a dazzling opera, Covent Garden delivers entertainment like no other.
Before the curtain rises, or once the applause has faded, you’ll want somewhere cosy and welcoming to enjoy a delicious meal.
The Perfect Dining Spot at Giovanni’s
Tucked away in a charming alleyway dating back to 1690, Giovanni’s offers a tranquil retreat from the lively streets of Covent Garden. Just a short walk from the theatres and flagship stores, our family-run Italian restaurant is perfectly placed for a relaxed lunch, pre-theatre supper, or a romantic post-show dinner.
We serve authentic Italian dishes with a Sicilian flair, lovingly prepared using recipes handed down through generations. It’s what makes us famous for offering some of the best pasta Covent Garden has to offer.
From comforting lasagne to rich seafood linguine and creamy risottos, our menu has something for every occasion, whether you’re celebrating or simply savouring the moment.
