San Giorgio in Barnet

Great food, service and atmosphere. The new owner has taken this restaurant to the next level

I was surprised by the service from the waiters, they were very polite and very kind, the food was wonderful and the dishes were hearty, a restaurant that I will definitely return to.

Lovely food and really friendly nice staff. Service is 10/10

Honestly amazing food and staff were so friendly and attentive. Very happy my first time going and would defo return

Amazing food and really good service

Really friendly, very Italian staff. They were attentive and unobtrusive. Food was good quality and portions were large.

מסעדה איטלקית מושלמת! שירות מעולה, אוכל איטלקי אמיתי, יין הבית מעולה.

Brilliant restaurant in every respect.

Very friendly staff, accommodating a large party of 10 people. The food was good, and protons were generous.

Meeting of relatives for lunch, 10 of us from different parts of the world. We had a great lunch. Wine was good and service great. We were placed in a part of the restaurant away from other diners which was great as we did not disturb other customers. The staff and owner were fantastic and they did not rush us. Everyone was very happy with the choice of restaurant and food. I would recommend this restaurant.

Good Italian .. veal Milanese is great dish

Excellent and authentic Italian restaurant in North London.

Superb! We had a table of 9 of varying ages - and everyone commented how good it was. My favourite starter of Avacado and prawns was the best I've ever had - but all the meals were excellent - really fresh and tasty. Service was equally good - so made for a really enjoyable family evening. My first visit (despite have gone past there a zillion times) - will definitely be coming back!

Got to the restaurant and upon entry I was rushed, the 2 male servers rushed me and my guest all night, even dropping some cutlery as they were rushing.. I didn’t feel welcomed at all and the chicken was undercooked.. I’ll never be coming back again. Very bad service, even after paying the bill no one said thank you or good bye as we left!!

We always eat well when we visit at St. Giorgio and the service is excellent. My only slight criticism would be with the constant, irritating, salsa type music being played in the background. A slice of Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin would get my vote.

Excellent welcome, extensive menu, tasty food and good service.

Excellent place and food, the service is impeccable

The best Italian in the area. The pizza here made me think of "San Giorgio" as synonymous with "going out for pizza tonight". Amazing food, from pizza to pastas, and seafood starters that I've tried. The owner is a welcoming fella who makes sure the staff look after you the moment you step inside. Very good selection of drinks too, including non-alcoholic options. Wonderful place and I cannot wait for my next visit!

Lovely Italian restaurant superb staff fabulous atmosphere

I can’t recommend it enough. We’ve been visiting this restaurant for the past years and it is actually the best place you can go to for a good meal, celebrations and anything you desire. Food is amazing! Good wine selection and many more. These guys go extra mile for each and every customer who they treat as a family! For us it’s the best restaurant in the area! More than highly recommended! Thank you for your hospitality! Paula & Family.

Authentic Italian restaurant with authentic Italian hospitality. The Gamborini Venezia was delicious

The restaurant was closing at 11 and we did arrive at 10, they did served us but I preferred not to. They started to throw cutleries and menus at the table very roughly, asking straight away what we want, started to make “jokes” to let us understand we needed to eat a bit fast. Once arrive the food, they kept coming to check on our place while we were eating to see how long we missing to finish. Keep asking us everything ok? But the way it was asked it wasn’t certainly because of caring of the service actually was another method to rush us, they asked about 3/4 times per place, no even time to answer the waiter said GOOD! In a proper rude tone impossible to confuse. HE WAS NOT CHECKING TO BE NICE AT ALL!! once finished straight away removed everything from the table again with such a rough method in two people 4 hands! The way we felt uncomfortable is not easy to describe, almost unsafe. I would have preferred them to not accept us at the restaurant in first place. I couldn’t eat the pasta because of how I was feeling I left all of it personally. Also the fish was tasking the same taste as everything. was frozen and unfrozen but for sure tasteless. Really don’t recommend at all.

Amazing food and service, owner Giorgio and his team continue to serve some of the best Italian food that Nth London has to offer.. Five stars!

Delicious food and wonderful service. We are always treated very well and taken care of. We go fairly regularly and have never been disappointed. Would thoroughly recommend

Visited San Giorgio in the past week one evening and it was fairly busy.Great food but the rest is downhill absolutely no hospitality. Not what one would say acceptable behaviour and attitude by owner Giorgio very unprofessional . Observed rudeness to staff and not polite tone and manner to customers, we actually lost count how many times he raised his voice to two waiters who were absolutely rushing around in the restaurant while we were seated and also talking down to customers in a aggressive manner on occasion because he seemed completely stressed out, not exactly the type of hospitality that customers want to experience when you come to relax and enjoy and pay for a decent meal and service. We were recommend this restaurant by our friends who are well known in the football industry at the football association and FIFA and as I act as legal counsel on occasion for the football industry . They recommended the restaurant and informed me the the owner is well known to them for many years and normally have relaxing lunches at San Giorgio for privacy as it is convenient and local. Great food no doubt but we won’t be back and to see staff scared of their boss and absolutely micromanaged and being watched over every second is something i and my guests were shocked to see. The table adjacent to ours told us they are regulars and normally it is no such a tense atmosphere when busy and not as bad not as it was on our visit as their son is normally there and is more organised and calmer but unfortunately his son was off when visited . We won’t be back and nothing more to it. There are many great restaurants in London where service and hospitality is far better. No doubt great food at San Giorgio but that is the only great thing.Maybe because our friends our are well known in football industry the service and experience they receive must be as VIP clients. Service charge should be on the bill for good service and we should have choice to reward based on the service, food and enjoyment and atmosphere.

Great but slightly pricey Italian

We ordered a series of food and found it was clean, flavoursome, and well seasoned. The vegetarian options are to die for, and I'm a meat eater. The seafood options doesn't disappoint 🍕 options are bellissimo, divine 🍕 The owner uses fine good quality produce, which is evident when you take your first bite. Drinks - a lovely list of the usual (White & Red wine, Beer, Hot drinks, 🍷🍺☕️🧃etc); plus Cocktails & Mocktails 🍹🍸

Great service but with average food. Service was great - quick, efficient and attentive. They look after your table well. If your table is empty then they go check the status of next dishes, they top up your water and wine frequently etc. Food was average. Spaghetti con vongole was such a let down. It had WAY TOO MUCH grated garlic, you can see grated garlic coating spaghetti as if it was parmesan. All you can taste is garlic, overkilling flavour from clams. Overall 5 star for service, 2 star for food with huge disappointment on my pasta.

Food was overcooked and tough Owner was rude to us by complaining that we shouldn't complain He gave us half our money back! You wouldn't do that if it was as perfect as he stated We will not go there again

Excellent food with very big portions

Cibo ottimo ambiente amichevole e familiare Da rifare

Amazing place, amazing food, amazing company & an amazing family of restaurateurs thank you for another amazing night

The Italian food was very good indeed

Manager rude. Table booked for 8pm and food was served at 9.45pm. No apology from the manager nor any of the staff. Will never go back. Plenty other Italian restaurants

A really BAD experience. The service was diabolical 1 hour a d 45 minutes to receive our meals. No acknowledgement or apology, for this. The manager was extremely rude to us. We were a group of us and we all felt strongly, that we would never return. The food was mediocre. After waiting that long, the food was not even hot.

Terribly rude waiter who brought out a dessert for an elderly relatives birthday and put it down in front of her saying “are you happy now”

Incredibly rude waiter who ruined an elderly relative's birthday lunch

Lovely, lovely and friendly restaurant! The food is good and reasonable price! I will highly recommend 👌 👍 ☺️

There is a sort of Italian intensity about this place that, being very English, I don't know how to deal with. The food is good, with a varied menu and good portions. But somehow I feel inadequate. Unable to be who I need to be to eat here. Sorry, this is a bit personal, I do apologise.

Nice family run restaurant,freshly cooked pasta, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Looks and feels like an Italian restaurant

Stake shume te shijshme♡ Spaghetti me sea food shume i shijshem ☆

the owner/manager called Lorenzo very rude. The worst service of my life. Food made in burnt oil! I wasted my time and money! On Mother's Day, instead of enjoying lunch, I was very upset.

I just absolutely love this wholesome restaurant. Hadn't been in a while and Georgio and his son welcomed us back with such warmth. Georgios son, also remembered my dads name (Andrew) and it's little heart warming touches like this that mean the world to us. The food was spectacular. Made with love. From the moment we sat. It was magical. Never change x

Food is always lovely. I ordered the steak last time though and it took ages like 45+ mins. Maybe they were looking for the cow, I don't know. Tasted good tho.

Been here a couple of times. Food is OK cod was tough don't think we will be back

The best Italian I have had in years .. Sea Food Pasta , just the best ..

Lovely authentic Italian cuisine. Food delicious and excellent service

Very gd service nice people reasonable price

Really good italian restaurant.Grest food,lovingly prepared.

Amazing food, very good customer service. Always nice to be back!

Visited on 13th November 2022 GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE ! We celebrated my wife’s birthday party here and 18 of us all had such a great time as the food and service was excellent ! Every single starter and main was so tasty and the portions were so large too , including the kids meals . The owner also gave us drinks and extra snacks on the house so all round a fantastic service and everyone who attended said it was the best Italian restaurant they had been to for a long time and we will all be going back again . Thanks so much to the owners Giorgio and Gianni and to all the waiters for making my wife’s birthday extra special !

Disgusting place DONT GO THERE TO EAT. They are so rude and disrespectful. Without finishing the food they come and take the plates. And pushing you to pay so you can leave as soon as possible. The worst experience i ever had.

The worst place to go and eat. Disgusting staff. They came and took the food from our table without asking us trying to push us to leave and also arguing with me in front of everyone that I’m wrong. One star is too much you deserve -0

Stunning food , best prawn and langoustine risotto i’ve ever had , extremely generous portions, wonderful kind staff and wonderful atmosphere and music !

Nice and cosy restaurant. Friendly atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food. What more you want from a restaurant. Well done guys!👍

Last night I went to San Giorgio for the first time, absolutely loved it there! A very pleasant atmosphere and the food was great!

I've been going to San Giorgio for years and have never been disappointed. I went with my wife and son who love this restaurant The atmosphere was great inside. The food was fantastic as always and the service brilliant. Cocktails were super. Really is good value for money. We were stuffed, not even room for a dessert. I had mentioned it was my wife's birthday and they shocked us at the end with a candle lit dessert and sang happy birthday which the other customers joined in. Thank you to Giorgio and staff for a great meal and night out. I would highly recommend this Italian restaurant above all others.

The food is absolutely delicious! Love this place ❤️

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food, I recommend!

Always enjoy dining here as the owner is so welcoming, as are his staff, the service is great and the food so scrumptious. If it's Italian food that tickles your palate then this is the place to go.

The food was very yummy and delicious. The service was really great and they sang happy birthday to my mom which was very thoughtful and kind. The prices were very reasonable and affordable. I really recommend you to come and try San Giorgio.

the best pizza I have eaten in my life. the whole interior design was so amazing, and the service they were very nice. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone i met

Ein wunderbares Restaurant. Pizza war lecker. Ich kann weiter empfehlen :)

Really delicious food..exactly what you'd hope for a traditional Italian restaurant

Best pizza, fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection

OTTIMA LOCATION. CIBO E PIZZE ECCELLENTI ..

Pizza wasn't too great in my opinion. Not much taste, base lacking flavour and tomato sauce bland. Given an extra star just because it was delivered within 15mins of ordering, that was fast!

I got a Calzone which was ok, not the best iv had. A lot of bread not so much filling. We are also a bit annoyed that they had bottle water and fizzy water on the table which we would be charged for at an extortionate rate of £4.70 The waiter would just open it and pour into our cups without asking or letting us know we would be getting charged for it. This was obviously a huge shock at the end when the bill came and we were left with a sour taste. Personally wouldn't come back, would rather go to zizzi

Went there for birthday meal. Food was nice. Friendly staff and great service but we found this to be very expensive for what we ate.

Very good spaghetti, especially the Carbonara.

Delicious Italian food in North London. A dinner not too miss with very friendly staff 👍👍

Very nice environment . Excellent welcoming and promt service. Excellent quality genuine italian food.

Food and service were excellent

Yesterday I had lunch with two pals at this large very stylish Italian restaurant. We all had really delicious meals in extremely pleasant and comfortable surroundings seated by open french windows. The owner of the restaurant is reassuringly very much "hands on" and is a charming host. The whole experience was a real pleasure.

Had a lovely evening here as part of my daughter's 30th birthday celebrations. Food was delicious, service was impeccable and has a lovely traditional Italian feel. Have recommended to friends and looking forward to returning.

Fast service and amazing food, too much food for me to handle although I couldn't stop eating as it was so good! Definitely recommend

I was really looking forward to trying the food here. I ordered via Uber Eats. I ordered homemade fresh pasta lasagne. Fried whitebait fish. Unfortunately I was really disappointed. Firstly the parmesan cheese that came on the side was off. I confirmed that by grating some Aldi parmasan and comparing. The lasagne didn't have too much flavour. Which wasn't a big issue for me. I was more disappointed that the pasta didn't taste great. I cannot 100% confirm but the pasta sheets didn't taste homemade But the Whitebate was nice(see pic). Though I think frozen fish was used For the area it is on the top end I terms of price. I would try it. Some of the other dishes may be good.

Very nice looking restaurant and good service. However, my dish was tasteless and very mean with the serving size and partner's salmon was overcooked. Disappointing.

I've been looking forward to Easter Day lunch here. I wasn't disappointed. Both the food and service was excellent. I look forward to going back.

Fantastic service and delicious food. The staff were so kind and helpful to me and my elderly parents. Just what we needed after a tough visit to the hospice. Thank-you San Giorgio.

Always have a good time here, food is delicious, staff are always lovely

a shambles. Went for mothers day and the staff we so disorganised and arguing with lots of customers and forgetting dishes and banging plates on the table. I highly unrecommend this place. The food was very average but the prices were very high.

Great service and the pizza was awesome

The best restaurant I have been for a long time I have met the owner who I have known for thirty years, the food was outstanding. With a very warm atmosphere shall be going again. Went back today and left even more impressed as were my family

Stopped by for a late lunch date, service was lovely - everyone who walked past us made an effort to ask how everything was and check up on us which was nice. Cocktails were spot on, and the food was nice. I appreciated the fact that the place isn't a chain, the options for pasta are very seafood orientated but was lovely overall.

What a fantastic discovery SANGIORGIO RESTAURANT in between North finchley and Whetstone We had a lovely and proper italian food probably one of the best place we have been with a nice variety of fish,meat,pizza and pasta Attentive service and reasonably priced menu A must try if your in the area

First time there loved it service was great food wines lovely the whole evening was nice be back again def

Excellent. Couldn't fault the food. A little expensive even for North London and wouldn't recommend as much if it's 'choc-a-bloc', but the bottom line is food was good.

The food is very tasty and the people are extremely hospitable. I always look forward to dining at San Giorgio.

Sadly not the best, well lasagne isn’t, it’s basically pasta and tomato sauce with barely a teaspoon of meat in the whole dish, I did think I’d ordered a vegetarian option, my friends love it here but I’d not return

Love this place. So cosy and the food is amazing. Loved the grilled meat😍😍

A bit pricey but dame good food and service 👌

Amazing! Very delicious food and excellent service 😊. Thank you!

We had a lovely family Sunday lunch here. Food was delicious and serving staff were friendly and accommodating. Already planning our next visit.

Unprofessional waiters. Expensive food compare to other Italian restaurants and found a hair in my food They did not even apologise and charged me 10% service charge too. Even One star is too much.

Very nice! Very friendly and attentive.

Spaghetti lobster was delicious. The starters not quite as good. The place has a buzzy atmosphere.

With friends and looking forward to chatting after all the restrictions. Noisy table and muzak in background and an inflexible owner who would not re locate us. Salmon was overcooked and swimming in a putrid gunky yellow sauce which I had to send back and replace. Highly underwhelming

Ok at best. The service is good, friendly staff, didn't take too long to get our food. Unfortunately the food itself wasn't the best. The calamari was ok. The pizza I got wasn't particularly nice, but the main concern was the chocolate fudge cake. It was extremely stale, as if it was a week old. All in all, I probably won't dine here again.

Finally a lovely restaurant with real Italian food...Nice when owner serves and works in the restaurant....highly recommend
