Giuseppe's Kitchen is a highly acclaimed plant-based Italian food concept, founded by chef Giuseppe. It gained significant popularity as a pop-up at Boxhall in Liverpool Street, London, known for its authentic, Nonna-inspired recipes and handmade pasta. Giuseppe also co-authored the "Cooking With Nonna" cookbook. While its initial pop-up run at Boxhall concluded around April 2026, the brand and chef Giuseppe continue to operate, with plans to announce future locations or events.
Customer feedback is overwhelmingly positive, praising the delicious, high-quality, and authentic plant-based Italian food, often described as "outstanding" and even "Michelin star worthy" in a casual setting. The tiramisu (especially the mini egg version) and various pasta dishes (Rosso, Bolognese) were frequently highlighted as standouts. Common themes in reviews include long queues, daily sell-outs, and a vibrant atmosphere. While some acknowledged the significant online hype, a few reviews suggested certain dishes could benefit from more seasoning.
The culinary concept is deeply rooted in traditional Italian cooking, drawing inspiration from chef Giuseppe's grandmother, a connection highlighted by his collaborative cookbook, "Cooking With Nonna." The venture began as a pop-up at Boxhall, a deliberate choice to establish its presence in the market through genuine culinary merit.
During its pop-up run, it was recommended to visit early, before noon, to avoid the long queues that would quickly form during the lunch period, especially with office workers. The tiramisu could sometimes be purchased with a shorter wait.
