True to the Emilia’s ethos, the new location will offer an intimate yet bustling atmosphere. Terracotta, terrazzo and wood create a rustic feel inspired by Italian trattorias, while vintage Venetian Murano glass adds a sophisticated, contemporary touch.
An open kitchen counter and live pasta-making station will let diners enjoy the theatre of fresh food being prepared, with the pasta-making also visible from outside.Giovanni's of Covent Garden

Guests are invited to escape the bustle of the city and enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere, where time-honoured recipes are crafted with the finest ingredients.

- MMichaelYorkshire •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoSuperb food which represented excellent value for money, especially in Covent Garden. It gives Flat Iron a run for its money and is arguably better. Great sides, sauces, beautifully cooked steak, and inventive cocktails. Fast and attentive service from knowledgeable staff. Only issue was being sat close to the stairs so we had a bit of a draft.More infoBlacklock Covent Garden££££• Steakhouse• Covent Garden•4.7
