    Nice to see the menu have a few changes, a couple of nice new additions. The calamari was lovely and well received. Service excellent and friendly. A bit noisy with several Christmas work celebrations but ambience always good. Good to have the GF options.

    Absolutely incredible! This was a meal where the rule book on how things are supposed to taste and be presented was thrown out and what you were left with was incredibly surprising and wonderful at every turn. We had a vegetarian meal (not vegan so dairy, honey and eggs were okay). Very often, we find that vegetables are used or presented in a manner that attempts to mimic the texture and flavour of meat. While I'm mostly okay with that approach, at Attica the vegetables and other ingredients definitely took center stage and didn't feel like they were a substitute for anything else. Non alcoholic pairings are usually just a dozen ways of serving something sickly sweet over and over, but the care that went into creating a series of unique, sometimes wine like drinks, was deeply appreciated. Also the fact that it was built around native ingredients and cooking styles means that I'm never going to experience anything similar anywhere else.

    I highly recommend Giorgio's. Having been there more than 100 times, I've enjoyed every meal. My favourite dishes at the moment are the Tunisian salad and the seafood pizza. What's more, the coffee is fantastic and it's always a joy to see the staff who have served me for 20+ years. Well done Giorgio's!

    Delicious food and attentive service. Different dining space options, a front room, fireside dining room and more casual outdoor space. You could easily have an intimate dinner for two or more casual catch up. We really enjoyed it.
