First time here for years. Friendly staff. Food looked lovely. Had a baguette which was delicious as was the decaff coffee. Good choice of food all laid out so you could see & choose. Plenty of seating. Criticisms are they could do with more staff. They were well organised but obviously stretched. Also a bit pricey for the portion sizes but I think probably the best in Watford.

We visited Cafe Giardino because a Tiktok clip rated the place. The food was really nice. The price was far to expensive. My son's full English breakfast consisted of 1 x sausage, 1 x rasher of bacon, a small ramekin of baked beans, scrambled eggs, half a tomato, a small portion of mushrooms and a slice of toast. All for £11.50. Yikes!!!! Not what I would call value for money. The lady serving was lovely!!!

My fav place to eat out in Watford, really impressed with Giardino! The food was fresh, well-cooked, and full of flavor. Portions were generous, and the menu had a good variety. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

E G G S & C O F F E E . . . Good view upstairs while eating breakfast. Coffee was nice and hot. Eggs a bit overdone and slight taste of vinegar from the cooking method. Decent selection of food on show.

I've been coming to this cafe with my family for at least 10 years. It's highly accessible via lifts for anyone with wheelchairs or pushchairs, I've never had an issue getting a table and the staff are friendly. After so many years coming they know us by sight! The food is simple, with lots of filling options for sandwiches/baguettes or other choices. Veggie options as well. The coffee is especially good, always piping hot. Can't fault it as a straightforward and inexpensive cafe that's that feels a little above the hustle and bustle of the shopping mall due to its elevated position.

Not great at all, food quality is bad and very overpriced! Please spend your money somewhere else, much better places around.

Not great, I used to come here a lot but the service and quality of food was really bad. (Wrong order and blamed us, it was rectified but the filling they used was not what was on display; it looked and tasted like it had been scraped from the bottom of the fridge.

Food is nothing special. I think no have service if we don't ask please to clean the table I think we eat on top of the rest of the people. Atmosphere is good really nothing to complaint about this what i dont understand is not WC you need to use the one from shopping center. Is great to do the digestion on a way to the WC Price is high for the quality of the food. Aah and all food is precooked for me this is the more bad think if i pay 10£ for a panini i want you to cook my milanesa on same moment, is take less than 5 min fry a milanesa.

I ate here on Sunday noon. Was very very disappointed, the food quality was very poor. I asked for a Halloumi sandwich, I thought they would put some salad or something in the bread at least to make it a kind of sandwich, but they just dumped some Halloumi in the bread. I was quite disappointed, maybe it was my fault for not understanding. Tasted like salt & an overdose of butter. Secondly I ordered a side of fries. Hand on heart this must be one of the worst fries I've ever eaten. It tasted like the oil hand not been changed for ages, tasted horrible. Thirdly I ordered a kids pizza meal, it's just warmed up in a microwave. Again it's fine if they made it earlier in the day or something. But this had literally no taste to it at all. The only thing that seemed as though it was ok was the Oasis drink I brought. It's not a cheap place either, I should have read the other reviews before eating here. On the plus the staff seemed nice. Really disappointed, shame as it seems like it could be a great cafe. Just not for me with the poor quality of food. Won't be visiting here again in a hurry.

Chai latte had overpowering cinnamon. Jacket potatoes wasn't fresh and unappetising. Overall average service.
