Situated in the vibrant Piccadilly area in central London, our flagship restaurant in Soho is arranged over five levels with a snug private dining room on the lower ground floor and a gorgeous roof terrace that's perfect for tucking into some delicious drinks and nibbles in the sunshine – both areas are available for hire for any occasion.
Our Jamie's Italian restaurant in Piccadilly Circus also has several other spaces, each with their own unique style, that would suit dinners, celebrations and events for groups of up to 130 people – get in touch for more details.
Jamie’s Italian was founded by Jamie Oliver and his Italian mentor, chef Gennaro Contaldo, in Oxford, 2008. Since then it has grown to more than 60 restaurants worldwide, with plans for even more in towns, cities and countries around the world – but that’s not even half the story…
When Jamie's Italian was first conceived, the starting point was to re-create what Italians are most proud of - fantastic, rustic dishes, using recipes that have been tried, tested and loved! Jamie talks about "feeling Italian" and in Gennaro Contaldo, we can tap into real thing. A great mentor for our young chefs and someone who, as a boy growing up in a tiny fishing village on the Amalfi coast, learned how simple, fresh ingredients, prepared and cooked with love and passion (a phrase he uses every day - and means!) become truly great dishes.
So of course we wanted to serve exceptional food. But our aim was also to create an environment with a "neighbourhood" feel, inspired by the "Italian table" where people relax, share, and enjoy each other's company. Jamie's Italian was designed to be accessible and affordable, a place where anyone is welcome and everyone will feel comfortable, no matter how much you spend or how long you stay.
