L'ulivo in City of London, Westminster

Good location, service ok but the pizza and wine weren’t tasty. I was disappointed. Overpriced.

The Italian restaurant is very nice Italian food is better than Italy itself I strongly advise you about it

The most delicious Italian restaurant in London. The chef is Italian, the menu is halal, and the owner of the restaurant is of Arab origin

Generous and delicious portions, friendly staff- would come again!

Excellent service. The food is exceptional and the attention of their work team is even better. 100 points! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Tasteless salad that was overpriced, definitely not worth the high price. Overly boiled chicken and not even fried a bit. Beware. Do better.

Perfectly cooked steak and pizzas for sure!

amazing staff very friendly and fast service , the food portions are really good compared to other places also the decorations are really pretty overall had an amazing experience

Very kind staff! Halal food option and really affordable price, I highly recommend 🩷

Very warm and lovely place to stay at with good prices and high quality food the staff is very helpful and nice i had a really good time there

Questo posto è il migliore ristorante italiano di Londra. Prodotti di alta qualità. Da italiana dico dovete provarlo. Lo staff é fantastico, divertente e accogliente. Grazie🇮🇹🇮🇹

The food was lovely BUT not worth being overcharged £11, my bill came to £62 and I was charged £73! Won’t be coming back again!!

Such a wonderful fine dining g experience for our last night in London. The staff was friendly, attentive and the food came fast. The food was amazing! So good! Highly recommend. Shout out to their staff working the front door getting people to come in, they are super!

The restaurant is excellent to take your meal out with a little heated garden in the front. The experience in here was amazing. The waiter was really polit and verry carefully with us, serving us with pleasure and verry friendly. The food was amazing having like starters "funghi e gorgonzola" and "gamberoni al burro"with small changes, we ask the waiter to remove the chilli . Like mains we had to steakes cooked perfectly with mash potatoes and 2 mushroom souces witch was great cooked like we ask for it. Now to be honest with you i can't lift up my ass from the chair and i'm licking my fingers (sorry for expresion but is true). 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ for everything.

Superb !! Came here on a whim and left loving it. Fabulous food. Excellent service. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Lovely food. Authentic Italian cuisine. Great service.

A very calm place with great food

L’approccio spontaneo, cordiale e la simpatia di Nada (la ragazza davanti al locale) ha conquistato la nostra fiducia quindi ci siamo accomodati mangiando più che bene! La pizza ed i primi sono davvero buoni, si sente che sono realizzati con ingredienti freschi e genuini. Il personale è gentile e disponibile. Il locale è pulito e lo spazio esterno rilassante con vista sul variopinto passeggio pedonale (sempre imprevedibile e divertente). Servizio veloce e prezzi contenuti in una location super centrale. Provare per credere. Grazie ancora a Nada!

Really nice athmosphere, we only had drinks but it was great and the staff was really friendly and helpful. Good location.

Good for pre theatre meal. We were able to sit outside on a warm September evening

We passed by chance in front of this Italian restaurant and found Nadah at the entrance who proposed Italian cuisine by offering us a bruschetta, excellent dishes, well presented and abundant, excellent service

Food was absolutely disgusting frozen rubbish calamari made my wife sick broccoli in the pasta was frozen none of it was fresh ingredients how they getting away with this I do not know £80 down the drain if I could give it zero stars I would AVOID AT ALL COST

Everything very good, the food, the hygiene.

Amazing service and atmosphere! Food was outstanding ✨

Lovely place, comfortable little terrace and utterly fantastic food. Service was on point and quick despite being busy. The meaty pizza was immense, and as for the Ferraro Roche dessert… wowzers. Definitely our go to place before the theatre

Everything was lovely, big thanks to Nada for creating friendly atmosphere.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Italy! Terrible cuisine

Absolutely foul, will never again come here. We went after a show across the street and we ordered a martini. It tasted like cotton candy with sweet vermouth. I felt bad bringing it up because the server was lovely, but it was painful to drink. The fried calamari made us want to throw up, we chewed into it and it was thick and tasteless. We paid over £15 and left the entire thing. When we told the server, she didn’t even bother making good by it. We then had a pizza and the cheese was melting but not in a good way. The meat was spare, so it was practically a cheese pizza but paid extra for no meat. I do not recommend this place ever. Atmosphere wasn’t great enough nor the service for the lack of food.

Lovely staff and great pizza! Not too expensive either for the location :)

Had a lovely meal in here recently, reasonably priced for centre of London too. The steak was cooked to perfection and the pizzas are lovely also. Garlic Bread was given as a free starter.

Best pizza in a long time, it was very tasty. Inexpensive lunch menu for London. We'll definitely come back. Thank you very much

Party of 6. Reasonable service, if a bit slow for a Thursday afternoon. Gluten free beer but not pasta or pizza dough. Odd!

Lunch deal offered great price for great meal!

Excellent rigatoni at lunchtime - absolutely delicious and good value, too.

We came here for hen doo and it was like stepping into Italy ! The staff were amazing and the food was even better.

As every restaurant in central London, I found it was over priced. The portions were good, we were definitely full but there was little flavour in any dish. It wasn't busy when we went, as such we got to pick a nice table outside and our food and drinks were quick to be delivered. We got the spaghetti bolognese, Margarita pizza & a shared garlic bread. The garlic bread, served in a focaccia style, was under seasoned. The texture was fine but literally just felt like eating slightly oiled bread. No flavour of garlic. My friend enjoyed the spaghetti, said it tasted great and was very filling. My pizza was huge! But again, bland. There seemed to be no seasoning, the cheese wasn't melty or stretchy or flavourful, the base was like the garlic bread (I suspect they use the same dough). In summary, stuck in central London and feeling very hungry? This may be the place to go. But if you have the time or energy to get a little further from the centre, you can find much nicer Italians, with the same portions, better prices and some actual flavour.

The ambiance of the place is nice. The salmon salad is delicious. Ask for extra lemon and enjoy. The pizza and penne pasta are very delicious. The soup was today’s soup with all vegetables, zucchini and cabbage. Never drink it😄 After the pizza is large enough for 4 people to rest.

Very good food and excellent service

The restaurant is excellent. The pizza is delicious. It has delicious pasta with red sauce. The price is a little high. I went there twice. The coffee is delicious and the halal is excellent. I took the cheese ball. The price of lunch is one pizza, one pasta and two colas, 35 pounds

YES, eat here. Great salads and pizza. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Nice patio as well.

The flavor is less than normal. I give it 7 out of 10. Order it without wine 👍🏻

Delicious pizza and pasta. Would eat there again.

Amazing service, i had the best time, manger fox is so lovely

This spot is amazing for a nice cozy dinner. really enjoyed it, food was lovely, the workers were very kind and helpful , delight to be here will be coming back.

Great experience! The staff was very kind and helpful, I will definitely be coming back. Me and my bestfriend felt so welcomed and relaxed, it was definitely worth it to stop by and have dinner! I recommend for all families, friends and even solo :))

amazing service, very attentive and a lovely atmosphere

I was visiting London with my friends and we decided to choose this restaurant. Oh boy! It was bloody delicious. Pizza was hot (but not too hot), ingrindients were fresh and yummy. Waiter was polite and we waited only about 10 min for 2 pizzas! One of the personels even called us "friends" Gosh it was beautiful experience and I wish I could go there next time when I will be visiting London 😇

Lovely staff and delicious food. Group of ten people , one taken ill during the meal. Not food related. The staff couldn’t have helped more. Very impressed.

Very good atmosphere and very good service and special thanks to Elena .Loved the food as well very delicious .

Staff was very polite and food was lovely ! Elena was my favourite and Ricardo x

Classic Italian food, everyone must try on 🫰👌👌👌👌so yummy n delicious.

Party of 4 bank Holiday Monday 27th,went in and found lovely decor and helpful staff. We chose the set menu 2 course and 2 pizza,bruschetta was good and large pizzas were big and tasty and came out in good time,tagliatelle big portion and creamy. Draught beer and cokes and no room for desserts,unexpected fantastic food and service within tourist London,doggy bag presented for pizza,and a fond farewell what a find. All the family would go back well done.

Great ambiance in the heart of London! Blanca was incredibly helpful and efficient. 🙌🏼 I tried the Pink Lady, and it was BEAUTIFUL—both in taste and presentation! 😻

Had a wonderful afternoon drink at L’ulivo. Many options to choose from—mainly Italian but they also serve other cuisines. My friend and I had some cocktails and we loved it. Customer service is lovely. Bianca and her colleague were nice and accommodating. But what I appreciate most about this restaurant is the vibe, especially outside where you can enjoy your food while watching people pass by. I would definitely come back to try what more they have to offer.

Excellent place, cocktails amazing will definitely come back

I love this restaurant, amazing cocktails 10/10 experience

Delicious food with a great atmosphere. The service was excellent.

It Was really a Great dinner. The Kids loved it and the service was good

Excellent. Pizza was particularly fresh and tasty, at a competitive price for the area. Would recommend!

Very attentive service and a vibey atmosphere . In keeping with a Spring/ summer atmosphere in Leicester Sqr. We really enjoyed ourselves .

The guy outside grabbing people to enter is aggressive and a turn off to get inside. He makes it feel as a turist trap

They charge you higher prices than what is described on the menu. Turn wide.

Unpleasant food I wouldn't go back again I think it's the worst place I've been to eat abroad it really sucks the setting I have nothing except for the hole behind the bathroom door, staff nosy towards others the pasta was overcooked and it was moored in a sea of ​​tomatoes that weren't tomatoes anyway, I wouldn't advise anyone to go here

I was there for work reasons; Italian restaurant in the heart of London with excellent service, quality and well-cooked products. To be recommended.

Fine Italian cuisine ... the dishes offered are excellent, plentiful and cooked with all the trappings of our tradition; impeccable and kind service; affordable prices even with pounds; a big hello to the dining room manager: hello Elena and thank you!!!

I may or may not come again to this restaurant. The salmon pasta is much much much much too salty

Excellent quality food and cuisine

Nice restaurant in a good location!

Perfect atmosphere, lovely staff and great food. Our waitress Angela was very polite and made us feel very welcome.

Not what i was expecting from the reviews

I ordered fish and chips. The chips were average but the fish didn't have any seasoning and was rubbery

As an Italian, I have to say that despite being in London the food wasn't that bad. The service, especially with Nada (we assume she is the owner) was really welcoming and attentive, as she was very understanding towards us, almost the same towards the waiters. The environment is very simple and clean. (We wanted to thank Nada for being so understanding towards us)

I had a lunch here on Saturday, lovely an attentive staff, vegetarian and vegan friendly. One of the best Italian restaurant on Leceister square. Very nice service and good atmosphere.

I decided to come here after the invitation from a lady in front of the store. The food was delicious, and even though London is expensive for Japanese people, it was reasonably priced and I was satisfied. The three dishes, including the pasta, were perfect for two people to share.

So the venue is nice, modern and looks good. Staff were all helpful when you caught their attention. Out of the four Italians in this street that we’ve tried this is probably the best. I just could not get excited about the food. Is quantity over quality here. Portions were large.

Lovely. The food was very good, we got big portions. The atmosphere was nice and the servers were friendly and made us feel welcome.

Great hostess, good food for a good price, generally a lovely experience

Delicious! It was very cozy and friendly service.

Het eten was zeer lekker, vriendelijke bediening en een heel mooi restaurant

I’m pizza lover and have to say that was one of the best I had the base was so crispy and delicious strongly recommend this place

I highly recommend. Native people, very friendly. Food was very delicious, atmosphere was great.

Very nice and king staff! I had rigatoni! Very delicious!!! 10/10 recomand!!!

Very good food. One of the most beautiful places where you can spend your time.

Very nice staff, good food, cosy atmosphere. 👍🏻

Very accommodating, wife has an obscure allergy and they cooked everything beautifully. Excellent atmosphere. Staff are helpful, friendly and not in a rush to move you on. Well priced for the overall quality of our meal and drinks. Thank you

Lovely Italian food! Would recommend it 10/10

Lovely Italian food in Leicester Square!! Professional staff! Very helpful and fast service! Lovely desserts as well, I had a cheesecake and a home made lemonade! Main dishes huge portions! Normal prices for central London! The best food and prices on the street!!

Incredible bar, the service is excellent! The girl of the entry very lovely😊😊😊

Delicious, fresh italian food. Fast service.

Super ok mancarea si locatia, preturi normale!

Food was superb quality and very reasonable price for the centre of London, Would definitely recommend

Heureusement que je ne lis jamais les avis avant sinon je ne serais jamais allée dîner ici ce soir ! Delà très bon accueil et un service irréprochable, nous avons eu un serveur aux petits soins merci. Les pizzas étaient très bien cuites, une pâte maison de qualité, rien n'est resté dans l'assiette, enfin le vin rouge maison conseillé par le serveur parfait, il ne nous a pas poussé à la consommation d'un vin cher et en plus nous avons eu droit à un limoncello en digestif. Le seul bémol, nous étions au sous-sol et il y faisait froid et l'odeur des toilettes à côté quelque peu gênante. Je recommande ce restaurant italien. Merci.

Romantic, warm and very welcoming staff. The margherita pizza was delightful. The spaghetti alla Bolognese was fresh, light, and perfectly flavoured. Also, don’t forget the bruschetta because it was something out of this world! I confirm that this is authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of London.
