Bar Giorgio

Just like the espresso bars you find tucked away in every corner of Italy, Bar Giorgio is a space for quick stops, slow mornings, and spontaneous conversations over perfectly pulled coffee.

Espresso and Maritozzi

Step up to the bar. Whether it’s a strong caffè ristretto to start your day, an afternoon macchiato, or a crisp cocktail before dinner, Bar Giorgio is open from morning through to the early evening, following gallery opening hours.

There’s no table service — and that’s just how it should be. This is coffee standing up or sitting down with quick chats with the barista, a moment of pause before heading back into the city. Like the best bars in Milan, Bologna or Palermo, it’s about rhythm, ritual, and real coffee.

What We Serve

Espresso classics — from cappuccino to caffè corretto

Fresh maritozzi — baked each morning

Aperitivo — Italian spritzes, vermouths, and bitters and cicchetti to accompany on a Friady.

Our coffee is sourced from Koffee who understand balance, bitterness, and body — just how Giorgio likes it.

Stop By Anytime

Located just around the corner from Trafalgar Square, Bar Giorgio is ideal for a quick pre-gallery espresso, a morning pastry meeting, or a casual catch-up before dining at Locatelli.

No bookings, no fuss — just good coffee, good people, and a proper Italian welcome.
