Cafe Giardino - Basingstoke and Deane

The food at this restaurant is consistently excellent and made with fresh ingredients. I often find myself chatting with other customers at the tables. While some items may be on the pricier side, the quality of the food is worth it. I make sure to visit this place at least once a month.

I stopped by for a quick sandwich to-go, and I have to say that the panini was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be returning more often. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

I had the best jacket potato here yesterday! Staff very polite and friendly. I definitely recommend this place!

Came here for thr first time over the weekend. There was a queue but it went down quite quick. Ordered a tuna melt panini asked for no onions but told the filler is already made up so I stuck with it and for over £8 I thought it would be something special. Was very busy so was lucky to find a table. Food came out very quickly so I assumed it was already made up and just needed to be toasted. There was so much stuff in the panini but hardly any tuna or cheese or sunblushed tomatoes, but lots and lots of onions (great), leek and normal tomatoes. Panini was very disappointing, was more like a salad roll rather than tuna melt so only ate one half as the amount of onions too overpowering and as its all mixed together it's hard to pick them out. Overall, not a bad place for a busy Saturday and the staff were friendly but I definitely don't rate the panini I had, definitely not worth over £8. Maybe they should give the option to be made to the customers liking, or serve it with at least crisps or something for that price.

Popped in mid day on Saturday, ordered large spaghetti bolognaise and a Mediterranean salad. Spaghetti was cold in parts where it hadn’t been warmed up sufficiently in the microwave, pretty bland flavour. The worst salad I have ever had, the tomatoes and cucumber tasted fousty, the oil used tasted more like a cooking oil, very poor flavours. Would never eat here again. For £20 better value to be had elsewhere.
