Review of Il Giardino from 6 February 2013
Having seen this restaurant is always busy, I decided to book a table which i would recommend if you plan to eat early evening.  Once at the restaurant the service was second to none.  Food was wonderful, wine was lovely and price was very reasonable for the two of us.  I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants very nice Italian food.

Review of Il Giardino from 13 August 2012
(updated on 15 August 2012 )
I've been going to this restaurant for over ten years now and I can honestly say that the food is truly lovely, and always freshly cooked. The friendly atmosphere and genuine warm customer service keeps us coming back time after time.

I would describe the interior of the ground floor as cosy with the upstairs being more spacious (I had a party of 20 comfortably seated up there).

The food is Sicillian and is prepared by a South American (Peruvians) family. I heard that they originally worked with the Sicillian owner and when he decided to return to Italy they took over the management of the restaurant. As a result you are treated to authentic rustic Sicillian cooking with a warm South American welcome; though I would say that the starters and mains are their strengths - their deserts are a little more basic but despite that I still give it 5 stars.

This is a very popular restaurant with local people, and is quite hidden: I really, really love it!

Review of Il Giardino from 1 October 2009

A hidden gem indeed. We noticed this place recently after walking past it many many times and decided to give it a try. Inside its a little dark, small but very quaint. It wasn't at all busy, but the candles on the tables made for a lovely atmosphere. The waiter was very polite and was attentive without being a pain - a fine line between the two. The food was beautiful, i had the poussin roustic which tasted fantastic and my partner had an equally delicious tagliatelle. The wine wasn't that great, but we did opt for the bargain bin of a jug of house red, so possibly to be expected - but the wine list was pretty extensive.
Overall we had a great night in here, lovely atmosphere and fantastic food. We'll be going here again for sure.

Review of Il Giardino from 18 November 2008

You could easily walk past this and not notice it but don’t because it’s great! The place is very cosy and you’re often squashed in a bit, but excellent Sicilian food is served here, especially the seafood, which is a bit unexpected for Peckham! They also have a special board with ever-changing, tempting choices. The prices are very reasonable too, and the service is very good. A very hidden gem of a place.
