  “We came with friend for lunch, it was very good. Plenty of choice on the menu, good variety of dishes for Vegetarians. All our meals were nicely presented and hot. My Salmon was cooked exactly as I asked. This is a very clean, spacious restaurant. All the staff were very helpful, friendly and polite. The toilets were very clean. Plenty of parking, in a free car park (opposite the Duck pond), about a minutes walk away. Will definitely return 👍”

  “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited Olios on the Green yesterday with my family to celebrate my 30th birthday, and what an incredible experience it was from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the owner personally came over to say hello, shake our hands and welcome us back, which immediately made us feel so valued and appreciated. It’s those little personal touches that really make a difference. The quality of the food was absolutely outstanding — every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour and clearly made with so much care. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the attention to detail from every member of staff was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, and the whole evening felt genuinely special. Thank you to everyone at Olios on the Green for making my 30th birthday such a memorable one. We had a fantastic evening and will definitely be back! ❤️”

  “Our first time at Olios last night and it certainly won't be our last. What a fantastic venue! From the moment we arrived we were treated like old returning guests. The staff are amazing. So friendly, warm and welcoming. We had a table near the kitchen and to see how hard the chefs and staff work was a real eye opener. Every dish seemed to be freshly prepared with top notch produce. Our food was excellent and the portions more than enough. The tomato soup is to die for (and the lightly toasted bread that accompanied it was a nice touch). My wifes prawn, crab and advacado starter had so many prawns it could have been a main meal. I've had steak Diane before but never chicken Diane. The sauce was amazing and the chicken cooked to perfection. My brothers fillet steak was cooked totally to his liking. He commented he'd never had it served sliced before and thought that was a wonderful touch. We cant comment on the desserts as we were too full to order any. Drinks were reasonably priced (except maybe the price of a bottle of Coke) but the wine and port we had was superb. Overall we cannot fault Olios, will be recommending it to all our friends and family and will definitely be back. Thank you Olios!”

  “Wonderful meal here, keep dreaming of the seafood linguini I had here it was delicious. Garlic bread was lovely too. Atmosphere quite loud as it was busy but we got sat in the back area by the kitchen so it was actually much more relaxed as only a few tables there. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!”

  “This is just one of those restaurants where everything just hits the spot. The food was amazing. Real Italian food, good ingredients, fresh and cooked to perfection 👌 The service was great and staff were very attentive to your needs. In a lovely setting off the green near Writtle, with views of the lake. You would struggle to find fault. I rarely give a 5* rating for everything, but in this case, I had to. Myself and my husband both said we couldn't wait to return. We had 3 courses and 3 drinks each, so for the price and quality, it was really good value too!”

  “We visited Olio last night for our wedding anniversary, and if I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! The venue is gorgeous, cosy, and comfortable. The curved walls give you the feeling of being more intimate and private, although it was busy. The staff here are special. They welcome you as if they've known you for years. They treat you as if you are the only people in there and are attentive. They are very professional but fun at the same time. Service was very fast! Our food was divine. It's the best gluten-free Italian I have ever tasted. The pasta was so soft and perfectly cooked, which is no easy feat with gluten-free pasta. I could not find one fault with this restaurant and left feeling extremely satisfied and cared for. Olio, thank you for a wonderful time. We look forward to many more!”

  “Lovely Atmosphere, and the waiters and the staff were all very friendly and highly attentive. The food and pasta was all very fresh and all home made. Each of the dishes we had were absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend coming to here for a special occasion. The restaurant is very near to the main green in Writtle and a Free Car Park is nearby. I will definitely be eating here again.”
