I passed by this beautiful little place many times and I never had a time to step inside. Don’t ask me why... yesterday I decided I need fresh and quick dinner. I got 8 pumpkin ravioli. I paid slightly more then in bigger shops but OMG- best ravioli ever. Freshness and taste. I have no idea which blend of ingredients made this so creamy and tasty but I can say - best pasta in London!!! My photo might not be the best but this dinner was a haven.

This is a true, authentic taste of Italy. The moment you walk into Giacobazzi's the enchanting smell of fresh Italian pasta, homemade pizza, cheeses, herbs and meats hits you. This is where you are absolutely willing to spend extra because what you get in return for your money is absolute quality. Unlike many of the faux continental delicatessens in the immediate vicinity, Giacobazzi has the most authentic produce, and an unparalleled taste. If they had a seating area you would see a competing exodus from the Hampstead cafes run there, and rightly so because noone comes close in service or taste. Long may this magnificent delicatessen continue - this is where you will find the best ciabatta in London. And the coffee is also good.
Tiny but has pretty much everything
Very disappointing. Firstly, I was surprised that none of the staff speaks Italian, but also that they didn't have many essential Italian cupboard stables (biscuits, fette biscottate, etc.). I went there to specifically buy some guanciale for a recipe and I was given the worst cut (the first bit, only white fat that should be cut away and discarded) and the wrong portion, which meant being unable to cook what I had in mind.
Giacobazzi has excellent service and a passion for Italian food, from a wide range of homemade pasta, soups and desserts to cheese, salami, oil, vinegar, ice cream, honey and delicacies from some of the finest Italian producers.
