Quality assured. Service excellent – We regularly eat at Giacomos. Our favourite restaurant in the Sevenoaks area. The food is fabulous Italian, no nonsense and first class . Over the years we have eaten here… read more we have never had a course which was any less than delicious. The wines too are very good the house fiano and Giacomos prestige red are top rate. The staff are always friendly and happy to engage in conversation when they sense it is appreciated.
The prices have moved with the times but we find it still offers great value for money.
A lovely real Italian restaurant with great food which is always busy.
We will continue to visit whilst standards are maintained.

  Good food but… – …heavens forbid if you are ten minutes early! We were seen to our table on arrival but were told repeatedly that we were early. When we asked to… read more see the food menu we were told yet again, rather abruptly, that we had arrived ten minutes early and the kitchen only has one chef and we would have to wait for our allocated time slot to see the menu and put our orders through. Whilst we appreciate that the kitchen is run to military precision there is a way to convey this to customers in a friendly manner! Personally I laughed at the absurdity of the situation but my friend who is local to the area wasn’t so forgiving. What was even more galling is that an elderly couple arrived after us and had their starters served before we had even been allowed to see the menu. Obviously regulars have precedence and my guess is that they had pre-ordered.

  They do not care about their customers – We went to Giacomos ABBA night which In Itself was very good however,one of our party cannot eat gluten so a week before I contacted the restaurant to tell them… read more this . On the night they hadn’t done anything special for her , they didn’t bother to get her any gluten free bread they gave her a plate of crackers To go with her prawn cocktail and when we asked what desert she could eat they said they had some sorbet …… baring in mind she paid the same amount as the rest of us, £50 for the meal so I think it was disgraceful. I do not rate their profiteroles either they were swimming in a chocolate sauce

  The place to eat fantastic  – Excellent venue. Great staff can’t do enough for you, no rushing Excellent service food is fantastic,
Also priced just right, keep it up.

  We ordered two sea bass, one – We ordered two sea bass, one lasagne and one beef stroganoff from Giacomo’s take away service and all dishes were amazing, well presented as a takeaway and as delicious as… read more if we were eating in the restaurant. The only disappointment was we that we didn’t receive the superb waiter/waitress service and Giacomo’s exuberance and friendly attention during the meal. It’s a pity he couldn’t serve it to us in our home 😁. Good job Giacomo.

  Food very good, staff superb – Our meal was very good but the evening was made by great service from a chap and Marianna – even the chef on his tour was charming. We had… read more prawns, timbales and beef carpaccio for starters. Our mains were ravioli of the day, veals and a well-served liver. Plenty of puds to chose from and a good wine. Marianna suggested a wine from her local Puglia, it did not disappoint and she even found me fennel for my salad. Great evening.

  Outstanding italian restaurant in all respects: food, ambiance, service.  – This is my second review of this excellent restaurant, and since 5 years, and a global pandemic have passed since I last commented, it seemed as though time was right… read more for a follow up.

I am pleased to report that this restaurant has remained extremely consistent over the years, and, although I live in the US, I eat here at least a couple of times a year when visiting family. It has never disappointed, from the effusive and warm welcome to the outstanding food and service. I don’t have a whole lot to add to my review from 2016 as the consistency is so noticeable.

The menu does change slightly and there are always specials that are brought to the table and discussed with you. I like that the favorites I have ordered here over the years remain on the menu so that the experience can be relived should one so desire. Arancini is excellent as always but on my latest visit I sampled the anti-pasti plate which was replete with wonderful cuts of flavorsome meats with a very generous portion to boot. There was a different veal on the menu this time but it was excellent and served with slightly spiced bolognese side which complemented the flavors on offer very well.

Service, as ever, attentive and friendly and this seems to be very much a family affair. I am delighted it weathered the pandemic and one can still appreciate the delightful dining room that is airy and leads out onto a patio where several diners were enjoying their lunch on a lovely summers day. Lunch is a good bet here but note they have an admirable policy of closing the dining room at 3 to allow staff time to relax and reset for evening service. If you are a late lunch diner, bear this in mind before booking.

Highly recommend it. They have certainly not lost their touch over the years.

  Nice to be able to eat here – Nice to be able to eat here again since lockdown. Giacomos is open for lunch during the week and take away a few evenings. They are taking care to make… read more you feel comfortable. Everyone’s temperature is taken on arrival and there are several hand sanitiser stations without spoiling the Giacomos hospitality.

  40th wedding anniversary lunch – Fantastic restaurant.
Food is a delight and excellent wine served as well.
A really good restaurant for that special meal.

  Lovely evening  – We had a lovely evening at Giacomos after a long absence due to the Pandemic, on arrival our temperatures were taken, the Restaurant was busy with a very warm atmosphere,… read more all service was impeccable. & all staff were wearing mask/visors with much attention to all the precautions to be taken. We enjoyed a glass of Prosecco and Olives were provided whilst we waited for menus & 1st course. We chose Arancini and Calamari to start, followed by King Prawns cooked in Prosecco and Fillet Steak with Gorgonzola, accompanied by a bottle of Pinot Blush, all of it was delicious with no complaints. We were not offered dessert but were too full anyway and due to the 10pm closure, we quickly finished with Espresso coffees. A most enjoyable experience, thank you

  Fantastic – We were given a warm welcome upon arrival and service throughout was impeccable, attentive, friendly and unrushed. We were given a fabulous window table overlooking the garden. The food was… read more simply delicious, I still can’t stop talking about their rump of lamb. My partner had the scallops special starter and the skate wing to follow. To tempt us further a desert trolley was wheeled to us showing the deserts of the day. Will definitely be back soon.

  The best Italian restaurant in the area. – Yet again a very enjoyable evening with very good quality food and excellent service. Your consistency is a credit to you. Thankyou to you all.

  A very special birthday celebration at Giacomo’s. – We had a very special family and delicious birthday celebration for 13 of us at Giacomo’s yesterday. Giacomo and all his staff gave us all personal attention and especially our… read more 3 small grandchildren.

  Celebration meal – Four of us dined here last Wednesday to celebrate a wedding anniversary and a birthday. It was our first visit, and was highly recommended by friends, and we certainly… read more weren’t disappointed.

Thank you Giacomo and team.

  Bellissimo – Been to Giacomo’s several times and never been disappointed. Last week and tonight tried the takeaway service. I like cooking so like to think I am a relatively good judge… read more of food and very often get disappointed eating out. Well I can tell you, this is the best take out food my husband and I have had. We even ordered extra to freeze to give me a night or two off in this isolation period. Definitely going back fir more, you are missing a treat if you don’t try. Just one 5hing, I hardly ever write reviews but feel Giacomo’s thoroughly deserve it. Well done to all. Vanessa and Patrick

  A little gem of a place  – I’ve been going to this family run restaurant for a few years now. The food is excellent and the wine list is as varied as it is reasonably priced. The… read more ongoing selection of daily fish specials is to be applauded and they are cooked to perfection. Giacomo takes pride in his cooking and the staff are attentive, friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Theme nights with music and entertainment are huge fun. Bookings essential especially for the weekend. Looking forward to my next visit.

  Not bad at all – Food was actually fairly reasonable for what we had, and it was all delicious and tasted fresh. My only gripe was the speed at which my wine was constantly… read more topped up made me quite merry on the way home. Staff couldn’t be friendlier though. We will return without doubt.
