History

The company GODO, was founded in 2015 by Amin Bouafsoun (Tunisian) and Simone Sajeva (Italian).

The cofounders founded it was always a real hassle to find affordable but premium quality food working in London. They claim they used to end up in the same mediocre places, eating junk or – worse – tasteless ‘health’ food. So over lunch one day in their hometown, Milan, they imagined another way: their favourite Italian comfort food, ordered in two taps, cooked with the best artisan produce by a Michelin-star chef, delivered at the perfect temperature in custom-made glassware, presented by an elegant Italian on a Vespa, all for the price of a regular takeaway.

A year later, GODO was born. It taken them more than a year working with a team of experts to perfect the food, materials and technology they need to make this a reality.

Tommaso Arrigoni joined GODO from Innocenti Evasioni, in Milan, where he was awarded a Michelin Star in 2008. In addition to his restaurant success, Tommaso teaches at the prestigious school of cookery, Incontri con lo Chef, has appeared as a resident chef on National Italian television, published a book, ‘Dressed, 30 ricette d’autore vestite con stile,’ and writes recipes for the International monthly magazine, La Cucina Italiana (Italian Cooking).

In December 2015, GODO started operations in City of London and Canary Wharf. The company opened House of Godo, a three-month pop-up in the middle of Mayfair.

In July 2016, GODO launched operations during lunch in Mayfair, Soho and Victoria.

In January 2017, the company opens dinner for the West-End and it started to delivery to Chelsea, Belgravia and Knightsbridge.

After being offering three different dishes a day, in May 2017, the company launched a new system where customers can choose between RAPIDO: Much loved GODO classics delivered fast and PRE-ORDER: Full menu with more than 30 dishes at the time/slot that suits the customer.

In July 2017, GODO partnered with AIPF (Aeolian Islands Preservation Fund) in collaboration with Martina Caruso, whom today is head chef of the Michelin-starred restaurant at the Hotel Signum in Salina becoming one of the youngest Italian Michelin-starred chefs in the world. Our executive Chef Tomasso Arrigoni and Martina Caruso, created a special menu based on the union of exclusively hand-selected ingredients from the islands of Northern Sicily, with a good supporting cause, 10% of all sales were donated to this fund.

In January 2018, the company started to set weekly and monthly pop-ups in recognised corporations based in London.
