Quick info
About Gino D'Acampo
On First St, Gino D'Acampo is an Italian restaurant with communal dining and a terrace where games are set up alongside a spritzer bar and DJ sets. The menu runs through salmon pasta, mushroom risotto, which is available vegan, and tiramisu, with duck legs in orange sauce, chateaubriand steak, antipasto, and veggie sides rounding out the selection. Seating is walk-in rather than by reservation, though a first table offer can be booked for 50% off the food bill. The restaurant sits close to the city centre and tram stops, and hotel guests staying nearby pass through the dining room with their luggage. Room service brings the same menu to hotel rooms directly, extending the kitchen beyond the communal tables.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the tiramisu, which several single out as the standout dessert, with the duck legs in orange sauce close behind, described as melt in the mouth with a generous portion. The mushroom risotto, available as a vegan option listed on the menu, also draws strong praise, along with the salmon pasta, bruschetta, minestrone, focaccia, calamari and prawn tempura. Staff come up repeatedly as attentive, friendly and hospitable, including one waiter who handled a partner's intolerances with tailored recommendations. The caveats are specific. One reviewer found the chateaubriand closer to medium-well than the requested medium, and noted gritty bits in the salmon pasta and slow food arrival. Another found a pasta dish dry with little sauce, and one dislikes hotel guests walking through the dining room with luggage. Two diners mention booking through a first table offer for half off the food, and another heard staff singing for a birthday at a neighboring table.

“Food and service is excellent. We dined on first table and saved 50% on food. The only downfall of this restaurant is having hotel guests walk through it with luggage.”

“Thank you for one of the loveliest food/restaurant experiences I’ve possibly ever had. Jesus was an absolute legend, he was incredibly attentive and understanding of my partners intolerances. He has fantastic attention to detail and although you’re in a communal space, he makes your experience feel as though the restaurant may as well just be open for you. The whole team was so passionate about the food, that’s something I admire a lot. Jesus and Dennis were giving us tailored recommendations, yet absolutely nothing felt forced. That tiramisu is second to none. Thanks again to Jesus, Dennis and the team for a wonderful meal.”

“Gino D'Acampo – Family Birthday Dinner We visited Gino D'Acampo for my mum's birthday dinner with family. We were seated promptly, and overall had a pleasant experience. The restaurant itself was nice and the food was generally tasty. I asked one of the staff members for a recommendation, and she suggested the salmon pasta, which I decided to order. It turned out to be one of the highlights of the meal. I particularly liked the type of pasta used, as it was different from the usual pasta shapes you often get with this kind of dish. There were occasionally some gritty, hard bits while eating it, though, so I'm not sure if this came from the spinach or something else. Hopefully it wasn't sand or grit. Chateaubriand steak – The steak was tasty, but we had requested medium and it was closer to medium-well in the middle. This was a little disappointing given the cut of steak. Ribeye – Nicely cooked and enjoyable overall. Duck – Two duck legs, so the portion was quite generous. There were no carbohydrates included with the dish, so we ordered some separately. Salmon pasta – Very enjoyable overall, with a nice sauce and a more unusual pasta shape. The occasional gritty bits were the only issue. The food took quite a while to arrive, although we weren't particularly bothered by the wait as we were dining with family and weren't in a rush. As it was my mum's birthday, I didn't particularly expect the restaurant to do anything, so this wasn't an issue for us. However, another table was also celebrating a birthday and we heard the staff singing for them. I'm not sure if they had brought their own cake or if there was another reason for this, so I can't really compare the two situations. Overall, the food was good and tasty, and we had a nice family dinner. The salmon pasta was particularly good, although the gritty pieces were a slight concern, and the chateaubriand being more well-done than requested was another minor disappointment. Otherwise, it was a pleasant meal and I'd be happy to consider returning.”

“II wasn’t a huge Italian food fan, but was tired from the conference and decided to order the food to my room from restaurant. This place has changed my mind. Firstly, amazing selection of veggie sides which is always appreciated. And great portions and perfectly cooked. The bruschetta was fresh and not too oily which was nice. But the star was the mushroom risotto which had a vegan option. 🙏🙏🙏 This was the best risotto I’ve ever had, and it was vegan!!! Unbelievable. Firstly, I’m so grateful they could make it vegan (it says on the menu, you don’t even have to ask), and secondly, you’d never know they didn’t use normal ingredients.👌 I’d have called to thank them but I was in a food coma from forcing myself to eat it all. 😅”

“Second time I've been here in two years. The staff are unbelievably attentive and the restaurant is stylish and modern without being garish. We had the antipasto starter and it was a great start to the meal followed by ducks legs in orange sauce with a side of roast potatoes, fettuccine with white sauce and a carbonara. The only desert we had was a tiramisu. All perfectly cooked but the stand out was the duck. The sauce was amazing and the duck was melt in the mouth.”
