L O N D O N

Giotto is a quaint family-run Italian restaurant in London, tucked away on New Oxford Street and open since 1996.

Sitting nicely in the city, Giotto is quite close to Covent Garden and within easy reach of the main theatres of the West End, including an Italian restaurant near Dominion Theatre, an Italian restaurant near Shaftesbury Theatre, and an Italian restaurant near British Museum – offering peaceful and relaxing settings for guests away from London’s busy streets.

The name Giotto is of Italian origin, meaning “pledge of peace”. This appealing Italian name is also associated with the great Florentine painter and architect Giotto di Bondone, a major force in the Italian Renaissance.

The menu is a melting pot of classical Italian cooking: from delicious antipasti, to stone-baked pizzas at our pizza restaurant, and freshly made pasta at our pasta restaurant, all produced by our passionate kitchen team with over 15 years’ experience.

Good food deserves quality wine, which is why our dedicated staff regularly travel to Italy to visit wineries and learn more about how they are produced and sourced.

We are very passionate about serving traditional Italian dishes to our guests.

Large groups and parties are always welcome to enjoy dinner with friends, families, and colleagues for all occasions, making Giotto a memorable restaurant near Tottenham Court Road, a beloved restaurant near Oxford Street, and one of the finest Oxford Street eateries.

A presto!
