Olivelli - London

We visited this restaurant when on a trip to London and I have to say it is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever set foot in. The food was top quality and the service excellent. Would definite recommend.

Whenever I visit here I always have a great meal and the icing on the cake for me is that they serve gluten free pasta (Penne).

Went for dinner on Saturday night with a group of friends. Place was very clean and service was good but the food disappointed. We started with some garlic bread but most of it was left as the garlic was almost raw very harsh. Our mains very OK but nothing more. Felt I could have cooked better at home.

When we brought up the issue, the manager only took off half the cost of the pudding. When we asked for the rest of the pudding to be removed from the bill as well (which was £17), my husband explained it was due to the poor service we received. The manager then returned with the other half of the pudding cost in loose change, which we found to be a complete insult. We have never been so offended, and after speaking to friends who also agreed that the restaurant has declined in quality, we believe a staff overhaul is necessary. It's a shame, as before Covid, it used to be a friendly restaurant with consistently good food.

Wow! Finally an Italian restaurant that has been to Italy! Delicious seafood, beautifully cooked pasta and best of all fried courgette flowers just like you get in Rome, I have never found these in the UK. I wish I lived closer so I could order boxes of these at a time. Friendly service, nice drinks, lovely atmosphere, but the food is the absolute star of the show.
