  “The location of the restaurant was lovely but the food was average and the staff were pretty unfriendly. I did not feel like a valued customer or that they were interested in us . But my real disappointment was when I got back to my hotel I realised that my new raincoat had obviously fallen on the floor and had black marks on the front . I did call the restaurant but the manager wasn’t interested.”

  “🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 – A truly delicious Italian dining experience! I ordered the grilled salmon as my main, and it was outstanding! Cooked just right – beautifully golden and lightly charred on the outside, while staying so tender, moist and flaky inside, it melted in the mouth. It was simple, fresh and full of flavour, just like it should be. 🥦🐟I alao had fresh asparagus spears, which were honestly some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Crisp, sweet and perfectly tender, seasoned only with a little good olive oil and a squeeze of lemon – simple, but absolutely delicious. 🥦🐟 Paper-thin slices of high-quality parma ham – delicate, salty-sweet and so flavoursome, just melting on the tongue. You can really tell they only use the finest ingredients here. 🥓 The service was warm, friendly and attentive without being overbearing – the kind of genuine, welcoming hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere was cosy, relaxed and full of charm, just like eating at a little family-run place in Italy. I left feeling happy, full and already thinking about when I can come back .”

  “I had never really been satisfied with eating out in the UK, but when I ate here, I was genuinely impressed. It was the first time in a long while that I felt I had truly enjoyed a delicious meal. The prices are on the higher side, but rather than risking disappointment at a slightly cheaper restaurant, I would definitely recommend coming here. We shared the bottarga pasta and the Margherita pizza, and both were served warm and were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be coming back!”

  “A lovely spot to have a bit of lunch. A bit expensive but we were told not to expensive for the area. 2 pizzas and 3 wines was £97 which is strong by anyone's books in my opinion. But it was delicious and the staff were very attentive. I would go again.”

  “Looking for a casual local italian option? Surely at Oliveto you will find the dish you are craving for with a local, cosy and relaxed environment. Oliveto offers a plentiful selection of italian dishes, from Pasta & Pizza to main courses including fish, milanese fillets and others. I dare you will find the dish you are craving for here! Such a wide menu with a daily selection and recurring winners. Food Recommendation is the Milanese (veal) and Tartuffo Pizza with the Catalan Cream as dessert. Portions are very well served, 1 dish per person is more than satisfying. Pizzas: house-made with wide options of vegetarian taste and italian ingredients; nontheless. I would recommend Oliveto if you are looking for an easy & relaxed restaurant. This will not be 'fine dining', nor the type of dishes that with take away your breath, but fit multiple purposes and will certainly satisfy your belly and heart. The restaurant closws early on weekends, so would recommend booking in advance and try to make an early dinner. Fridays after 10pm is already closing. Ideal for family and business. The have a good selection of bottles of wines and drinks. They even make a pairing suggestion for desserts and food that can be found in the menu. They have a terrace and indoor space with an upper salon that can be used for priviate dinning. Found the price well-adjusted for the overall quality, but also portions! Good balance. Recommendation to Oliveto: If not already done; preferably, shorten a bit the menu and focus in creating a "house creation" (guess is i.e. the veal Milanese).”

  “This restaurant had been on our list of restaurants to try for some time, this evening we finally had the opportunity to dine here for my boyfriend's birthday and we are truly thrilled with the impeccable quality of every single dish and ingredient! CHEF whoever you are, we thank you so much for your cooking and for bringing the authenticity of Sardinian food to this nation. You are amazing and every single dish is to die for and worthy of it’s price! To the Sardinian people, if you are missing the taste of home come here! To anybody else please take the chance to really enjoy the Sardinian food here so you can discover what eating be like in one of the most beautiful Italian place while still being in London! A huge thank you also to the waitress and waiter that served us, perfect in taking care of us in a really good manner, me and my boyfriend we had a perfect balance between intimacy but still looked after too! Very pleased with your work service. Have a grate Christmas and a happy new year!”

  “The food here was amazing. We ordered beef carpaccio for starter - very good. For mains we had Milanese - the best we’ve had and we’ve had this in many many places, also had a crab linguine that had loads of crab meet and was delicious. Our daughter had truffle gnocchi which was good but less impressive compared to the crab linguine and Milanese. We also ordered deep fried courgettes for a side, though at £7 not cheap, it was amazing - very light and crispy and seasoned to perfection. Also had the panna cotta, tiramisu and Sebada for desserts. Service was also very good. The only thing I would not recommend here is the coffee.”

  “Extremely disappointed by our experience - service was almost nonexistent and food was quite underwhelming for the most part. While the location / restaurant is beautiful, we weren’t acknowledged for a good 10 minute standing in the entrance despite employees walking past us and it being 50% empty. Once we were seated it was another 20 minutes until they took our order. Ordered the tartare which legitimately tasted rancid / off due to the dressing and stale cheese (?) shavings on top. Mains were homemade sausage pasta and tuna filet. Tuna was actually very good and fresh, which is why I’m giving 2 stars as this was the only good thing here. The pasta was completely undercooked and we could barely find 4 pieces of sausage in it. Tasted like the tomato base had not been cooked off properly and was overly sweet. Just not good. We decided to skip dessert and leave, the manager saw us leave 2 feet away directly staring at us and not acknowledging us at all or saying goodbye / thank you although we did thank him regardless of our poor experience. Overall just not good and there’s significantly better Italian restaurants in London.”

  “I will start with the positives first, good location, with a clean and morden interior. The carpaccio di manzoni was generously sized, good house white wine, and the porceddu was cooked and seasoned well, with a lovely crackling on the outside. However, unfortunately this is where the positives end. The service was cold, unwelcoming, inattentive and slow, which given that this was a Sunday afternoon, and upon arrival and for most of the meal, we were the only dinners makes it even more inexcusable. My pasta was overcooked, and mushy, whilst the ragu lacked flavour, depth, and seasoning, resulting in a dry dish overall. I've never quite had pasta nor service quite as bad as this in any Italian restaurant in the UK, abroad and most importantly Italy. This is a belated review from February, and so I truly hope that things have improved or that they just had an off day.”

  “Friendly and efficient service. I love a restaurant which suggest today's special. Some pastas which I never see in other Italian restaurant are on offer too. Wines are a little expensive side, but the one we had (chilled Valpolicella) was reasonable and good.”
