Giallo

One dish visitors single out at Giallo is Jamón Serrano. Cut more thickly than the usual thin slices, it offers a fuller taste of the ham’s rich fat, one diner remarked. It could be paired with a salad of cured ham and broccoli, or with wine. The menu also features trimmings from a Spanish ham leg, making them a fitting first bite for an evening spent sipping and sharing small plates.

There are also dishes to order one at a time, including wine-steamed seafood and ajillo, a dish cooked in garlic oil. One visitor found the serving of clams and mussels steamed in wine small enough to order alone, making it an option not only for sharing with a group but also for trying a few things in smaller portions. The ajillo comes with a choice of prawns, octopus, mussels, chicken or pork, and includes baguette4 slices. Choose the ingredients and enjoy them with bread, or opt for the steamed shellfish. Red and white wines are available by the glass or bottle, so there is pleasure in adding dishes and drinks as the evening goes on.

Curry pizza is another option for a lighter bite. A diner who stopped by for a second venue of the evening recalled that its thin crust made it enjoyable without feeling too filling. Starting with cured ham and moving on to pizza could suit a night centred on drinks as well as one when you want a more substantial meal.

One account of a visit mentions counter seats on the first floor and tables on the second. Diners have come alone, with friends and with family. Whether you settle in at the counter for small plates and a glass of wine or share dishes around a table, there are seating options to suit the occasion. Reservations are recommended for dinner.
