Olivelli - Bloomsbury in Camden

I went there today and I loved it. Cosy, local, unpretentious cafe. I got really great latte and a customised sandwich. Super nice service. Recommend! 🙂💯💯

Best food, best service, best vibe and the best of the best hosts!!

Fantastic value for money, especially as it is Chiswick. The food quality it top notch and tastes amazing. It's a small cafe but they do have quite an offering on the boards with extras and on countertop. Came for an eggs benedict... but after seeing the amazing prices, I went for the Royale with extras (avocado) and black pudding.

A delightful sandwich shop, just near Chiswick Green

Great food, and in the morning you can catch a nice sunshine while you eat your breakfast.

Awesome food and coffee, with first class service by two lovely ladies. Highly recommend 👍🏼.

This has been my go-to sandwich place in Chiswick during the 3 years I've lived here. The food is good and reasonably priced, the staff are very friendly which is a plus.

Ordered take away. Delicious and filling English breakfast at an affordable price. Mushrooms, toasts, and sausages are excellent

Excellent coffee and food (I recommend the falafel wrap) and lovely friendly service from Mel and Dochka. Highly recommended!

Each time I come to Cafe Paradiso I feel like coming home, fresh food, great coffee, smiling faces of staff who knows what I eat and love, lots of choice... plus I got to know all the customers as we are all regulars now. My little treat to myself every single day!

Nice place, with a good atmosphere. I ordered an omelet with spinach - cheese, and salad. It was good. My mum has omelet chees, ham with beans. Plus to oat milk coffee we paid 22.50 by card. Beautiful staff :)

Great breakfast a must if you are in Chiswick

Courteous Service Well prepared and quality food

Full English breakfast was great.

Lovely full English breakfast with lots of toast and a nice cup of strong tea. Fabulous darling! Also does heathy options and other lovely treats. The owner and staff are very welcoming.

what a lovely cafe, very reasonable on prices. Great food and the staff are wonderful. Will be back.

Have had Full English there several times staff always friendly food tastes great.

Went in for a breakfast baguette. I enjoyed it a lot. For Chiswick it is very reasonably priced

Staff know their regular customers well. Efficient service, tasty food neatly prepared and welcoming staff.

Good breakfast, always polite staff and Great sandwiches generously filled.

We had a job around and we fund this little gem for our breakfast. Very nice food , not overpriced and lovely service. Important to support small businesses, when Big Corporations taking over during lockdowns. This place is too nice to disappear. Definitely will come again if I'm around.

Delicious breakfast and great service.

Without question the best in Chiswick!

Very nice full english breakfast, and friendly staff.

The food look and taste absolutely amazing and the two lovely ladies make you feel welcomed with their friendly, quick and exceptional service, well deserved 5 stars!

Great coffee and delicius snacks, excellent customer service, charming terace

friendliest coffee shop in Chiswick. Exceptional value for money

Been our favorite local cafe for years. Always our first choice.

Delicious food , excellent service , excellence experience, guys really friendly and also good advisers , definitely recommended !!

We had a celebratory business lunch here for 5. The food was delicious and the atmosphere very pleasant.

Soundly cooked food with plenty of choices for vegan and gluten free. Very good swordfish and pizzas. Staff are very helpful and friendly . Nice little find!

4 of us ate at 9pm on a Monday. Restaurant was friendly, and the pasta and desserts delicious. We didn't try antipasti or main course dishes

Very fond of this restaurant: the food is great but not outrageously expensive, and the service is excellent.

I love eating here- and every now and then they have an additional speciall -at the moment it is Risotto al gramchio- try it with a good white wine- you will not be disappointed- and the service as usual is excellent

Excellent venue where we can guarantee to get a table for a very decent Italian meal. A veal escalope perfectly cooked and decent pizza suited us perfectly. Charming and attentive staff. Highly recommend as good quality value for money in the area.

Ho cenato in questo ristorante con una mia amica e sono rimasta molto delusa. Dal nome e dalle recensioni avevo grandi aspettative, tuttavia la mia esperienza è stata negativa. Non ho ritrovato il Made in Italy: alimenti che sembravano essere stati comprati in un supermercato (nonostante il prezzo elevato per la qualità e la quantità) e piatti scarsi. Una nota positiva è dato dal personale molto cordiale e gentile.

Locale accogliente e personale gentile, tuttavia per essere un locale italiano il cibo non è stato all'altezza delle nostre aspettative. Abbiamo infatti ordinato un antipasto all' italiana per due che però è risultato misero e non di certo da 20£. Volendo dare una seconda chance abbiamo ordinato una pizza Margherita che ci ha deluso, sembrando una di quelle surgelate (10£). Hanno inoltre consigliato ad una cliente seduta vicino al nostro tavolo di aggiungere il parmigiano sugli spaghetti e vongole, inaccettabile! Resoconto: locale carino ma il cibo non vale il prezzo, non è male ma non rispecchia il vero cibo italiano.

The restaurant makes much of the celebrities of yesteryear who used to eat here. Their photos cover the walls. We had to wait a long time before anyone would take our order and when the food came we were not impressed by it. To be honest I can no longer recall what I had! The Sicilian wine was excellent though if a bit pricey.

We had a friends and family reunion here. Nice atmosphere. Food was really good as you would expect in Italy...reminded me of the Amalfi coast- simple and qaulity ingredents at a very reasonable price. I had a spaghetti Vongole which was very good, all finished off with some fine limoncello. Would highly recommend.

We ordered a vegetarian pizza and dessert. The food arrived in good time and was nicely presented and flavoursome, relates to both. There ws no pressure to hurry as fortunately, in the early evening when we dined, it wasn't busy.

Full English and the ladies who take of the place ! Terrific Cappuccino! ! Highly Recommend!!!

Nothing special about Olivelli - Bloomsbury, and it certainly did not meet the hype. Staff were inattentive, distracted by their phones and generally failed to deliver service with a smile. I ordered a well done steak which was delivered within 10 minutes of ordering - rare. This was pointed out to the staff we re cooked the steak I sent back (instead of making fresh) - no apology was given. Considering the price, you'd expect a better service.

A chance find on a wet evening and an excellent choice. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. We could hear ourselves talk and were left to enjoy the food, the atmosphere and a leisurely time chatting. We chose when to leave and had to ask for the bill after a couple of happy hours enjoying ourselves. I totally recommend the swordfish!

Arrived in London for a weekend and we wandered around our hotel looking for somewhere for a bite to eat. We came across Olivelli restaurant on Store Street and went in. A cozy dining restaurant with a bay window looking on to the street. We had the traditional spaghetti bolognese and a steak. The food was fresh and cooked to our liking. Delicious. Service was good, attentive but not overbearing. We had a nice lunch and left Olivelli happy. The Wise-Ones August 2019

Supermysig resturang med italiensk mat. Var skeptisk till den pga tidigare negativa omdömen men höll inte alls med. Vi var en familj på 6 personer som beställde allt ifrån pasta, lasagne och pizza. Allting smakade fantastiskt! Jättetrevlig personal och bra priser

Great tasty all day breakfast and food, fantastic (hot, as some places serve at too low a temperature!) latte and two lovely women who have a great rapport with their customers! Definitely recommend and will come again!

The food is good. The location is very quaint, quiet, and perfect for a meal. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the seafood was fresh. I especially liked that the portions were medium-sized and not extremely big. The wait staff were extremely attentive and friendly. I would definitely eat here again!

Un buon ristorante di cucina italiana di veri italiani con prodotti italiani. Se non cercate un ristorante stellato ma piatti semplici, ma buoni e con buoni ingredienti è il posto giusto. Prezzi in linea con Londra.

This is a very good neighborhood restaurant where we have enjoyed meals over the years. Most recently we stopped in for a seafood pasta and a calzone. Both were good, with the calzone being so large we did the uncommon London thing and came home with about half of it. Decent wine list, nice ambiance and good service. We will return.

I can't recommend this place more. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Our waitress was wonderful, and they were able to make an arabiatta pasta for the vegan members of our party. They are so accommodating and welcoming, it's a lovely restaurant to be in as well as eat.

Had a fantastic meal here with friends last week . Two of us ordered the mussels to start and they were perfect , the sauce was incredible , the mains were also excellent especially the steak dish . Staff are both professional and friendly . Would not hesitate to revisit

I always pass Store street for a walk. Tonight I decided I wanted to eat Italian. Sometimes it’s hard to find a place suitable just for one to eat. The staff is nice. I chose the risotto with seafood. And some greens too to go with it. The plate was very very full. I loved the seafood. The dry white wine was very nice too. I felt comfortable here.

We had travelled to the UK, and spent a day in London to catch up with friends. Our final stop before getting the train back to our holiday home was this restaurant. Great location as close to Euston, which is why my friend chose it (she travels to Italy regularly and is fluent in the language, so we trusted her completely).

Mi amigo y yo visitamos a menudo el Museo Británico para eventos, y encontramos este restaurante, que está muy cerca, ya que queríamos un almuerzo tardío. La comida y el vino eran excelentes. Tomamos salmón, seguido de tarta de avellana, delicioso, además de un encantador vino blanco siciliano. El servicio fue estupendo. Definitivamente vamos a volver.

While the atmosphere was nothing special, the food was excellent and the service was very good. I ordered the lasagne which was very tasty.

A beautiful little Italian restaurant on Store street. Fantastic service and incredible food. Portions are very generous and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. We were given a complimentary glass of champagne on arrival, so sweet of them!

Found this by accident. A great find . Italian customer service standards, delicious Sicilian inspired food . Fantastic antipasto and amazing almond cake. Highly recommended

To be fair, my mama was not Italian and mine made casseroles and soup when we group up. But if my mum was Italian, I would be quite at home here with lots of wholesome mediterranean dishes that would make the family, and mama proud!!

Visited Olivelli with family. I had never heard of Olivelli and I was pleasantly surprised with the food. The food was fresh and arrived promptly. I was a little sceptical as I wasn't sure if there would be Vegan options and surprisingly there was. I had the Bruschetta with Tomatoes for starters and the Vegan Pizza for my main course. Both we lovely.

We came here for a mid-week lunchtime booking and ended up staying until around 3pm with no pressure. The food courses were well spaced and the quality of everything was exceptional. The only regret is that we aren't in this part of London more often.

One of the pleasure of travel or visiting different cities is to enjoy a dining experience, whether it is something simple or something a little bit more sophisticated. This restaurant fall in the category of 'let's get dressed pretty tonight but without overdoing it'. The staff are welcoming, professional and very polished. They know the menu well and are careful to ask if anyone has any allergies. This is one of the places where food is really good (compared to other overprices places where the food tastes like candle wax). This, one the other hand, is absolutely fabulous! I enjoyed my dining experience a while back and again. Give it a try and trust you have a pleasant experience and love the food as much as I did! Their wine is also incredible and not overly priced. A wonderful place to dress up a little. Perhaps even check if you can make a reservation if you plan to go at dinner time. I try to go for an early dinner 'tea time style' which is a little bit unorthodox but it saves me the reservation part and I am there for their incredible food more than anything else. Enjoy!

After reading such positive reviews about Olivelli, 8 of us went there for dinner following an event at SOAS. Despite the fact that we arrived at 9pm, we were given the warmest of welcomes and made to feel relaxed and at home. The menu was sufficiently varied to cater to all tastes and when asked for advice, the staff proved very knowledgeable and helpful. The food itself (entrées, main courses and deserts) was an absolute delight - fresh, high quality ingredients and obviously cooked with love! Thank you, Olivelli, for making our evening together such a special one.

What a treat to find this lovely restaurant, delicious starter and super main we were full and very satisfied. The staff were friendly. A great experience.

Awesome food and staff...great atmosphere...will recommend..food is excellent from antipasti to dolci.

Old established Sicilian Restaurant which is well worth visiting. Numerous Hollywood stars ate here in the 1930's and 1940's. Good food selection cooked to perfection. Try the Corvo Rosso wine it is so smooth. Well worth a visit.

This restaurant has an amazing history and the current proprietors have maintain the high standards of hospitality, generosity and excellent food.

A meal with my sister as she was in town. I've visited many Italian restaurants in London and thought this was excellent food served at a surprisingly reasonable price.

Me and my sister came for our evening meal whilst down in London for the weekend. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The portion sizes were perfect and the wine delicious. Will definitely visit again when we next come to London.

I had lunch with my daughter here. We both ate different risottos, both excellent & good sized portions. Perfect, friendly service & nice environment. Reasonable price. Will go there again.

Siamo stati a cena ed eravamo un bel gruppo di 12 persone. La location è molto carina e la pizza era molto buona. Il personale è stato molto disponibile e carino con noi; parlano molto bene italiano. Lo consiglio!

We went to this restaurant last night after walking around and looking for somewhere nice. Was pleased we stopped here the food was excellent so was the award winning wine we choose , the waitress was lovely and friendly and would definitely go here again .

Location carina, primi piatti abbondanti e buoni. Proprietà non molto simpatico soprattutto per essere italiano . Locale vuoto ci ha servito cameriera che non parlava italiano e che non capiva le ordinazioni considerando che tra noi noi c’erano persone con delle intolleranze. Conto adeguato.

Paramos en este restaurante y pudimos conseguir una mesa sin tener que esperar. Cada uno tenía una ensalada y yo comí la ternera milanesa y mi amigo pidió la ternera con champiñones en una salsa de crema de trufa.

This is a gem in the neighbourhood. Quiet, friendly and very nice food for not that much money. Very friendly staff too.

Return visit. Last here a couple of years ago. Good table, warm on a cold night and staff attentive. Mussels and bruschetta good. Wine choices satisfactory. Swordfish dry and over cooked. No side plate of veg/potatoes as is usually served in Italian restaurants .

Formaba parte de un grupo de 10 que había reservado para el almuerzo un sábado. Había otras tres mesas de dos ocupadas en este restaurante bien decorado y acogedor. No teníamos entrantes, pero todos tenían platos principales. Tuve el Taglioni Salmone. Estaba tan salada y acabo de escoger las pocas piezas de salmón. Los que comieron pizza o ensalada realmente disfrutaron sus comidas, pero parecía que la sal aparecía demasiado en algunos de los platos de pasta. Tuve un postre realmente delicioso llamado torta Paradiso y un vino blanco ligero y refrescante de Sicilia - Corvo Salaparuta. No regresaría a toda prisa a menos que tomara la decisión de comer una ensalada o pizza, pero me encanta la pasta, así que probablemente no me molestaría cuando hay tantos restaurantes italianos en el área.

We came for lunch just before going to Heathrow airport. Staff very friendly, good Italian music and really Italian food, not so common in London!

Turned up at about 5.30 on Friday was then shown to a table handed the menus and then waited for a waiter to take either our drinks or food order but after waiting 15 mins no one served us so we left.

Very efficient service. The restaurant manager made sure that we were served quickly and finished to return to the university classroom. The pasta was delicious

Un equipo cálido y acogedor para un almuerzo tranquilo de domingo con mi esposo y nos hubiera gustado encontrar esta joya hace años, especialmente en nuestra puerta. Disfruté de una de las mejores y más sabrosas terneras milanesas de la historia (incluida Milán). . . y tuve que pedir el secreto de pan rallado (perejil), carne bellamente tierna y papas fritas perfectas adoradas. El marido tenía un plato maravilloso de raviolis con espárragos. No solemos hacer postres, pero después de haberlos visto en otras mesas, nos alegramos de haber compartido la maravillosa tarta de almendra / radpberry y el strudel de manzana. . . porciones perfectas Buen precio para vinos y café. . . así que con platos vacíos en general se considera una excelente relación calidad-precio. El servicio fue fantástico y agradable, especialmente por parte de Julissa (espero que tenga un nombre correcto) ella era absolutamente encantadora, atenta y atenta. Altamente recomendado.

Lors de vacances à Londres, nous cherchions un petit restaurant sympas nous avons mangé des pizza et des pâtes excellent

Ik had van te voren gereserveerd want ik had gezien dat het m.n. rond luchtijd erg druk was. Wij hadden een tafel voor 17.00 uur, toen viel het erg mee. Een leuke tafel aan het raam, wel een beetje gammel en weinig plek er omheen.

A traditionally narrow and cozy spot brightened up by excellent service and a generous table by the window. We stopped by for lunch today (my daughter had the pesto pistacchio with shrimp and I had the tortelloni paradiso, then we each had the trittico dessert combination which was a tiramisu, canoli, and a panna cotta plus I had a latte). It was just the nicest spot, close to University College London but smooth service and perfect food from start to finish. I can see why this is the favorite of so many in London!

Staying round the corner from this restaurant was lucky as we may not have found this gem! Fortunately we decided to book in advance otherwise we may not have got a table. Obviously very popular and we can now see why. Very welcoming, great food and great value.

Yes you can get a pizza here, but there were also many very interesting dishes on the menu. We ate here twice during the week we stayed in a hotel just blocks away. Normally we would only be trying someplace new every night.

We visited Olivelli-Bloomsbury, which is one of four restaurants in a chain in Central London, midweek having been to an event at the nearby Senate Library. I booked a table online but we arrived slightly early. This was not a problem. The waiter was welcoming and friendly and promptly showed us to our table. The menu is extensive with a range of pasta, pizza as well as meat and fish main courses.

Returned to Olivelli with some colleagues for a lunch business. It provides some real Italian food, and it is rather good to discuss issues. I also like the use they make of pistachios.

The restaurant was very noisy and crouded. First time I have visited Italian restaurant and no bread was offered. The service was bad and very slow.I got a miniature small mixed salad with no balsamic vinegar or oil.The main courses were 6 ravioli for my husband and a small dish with spaghetti with sea food for me.The main courses were even smaller than normal first Italian dish. No parmesesan cheese was offered. We payed 37 pounds and fished hungry.Dont enter this restaurant.

plats de viande tout à fait corrects, lasagnes copieuses mais les assiettes de pâtes un peu légères pour qui à un gros appétit , nous avons pu demander des pâtes avec nos viandes plutôt que des chips (frites)

Jó atmoszféra , közepes kiszolgálás , jó konyha közel a Tottenham Court Roadhoz ha erre jár valaki érdemes betérni

A quiet Sunday evening, lovely restaurant, friendly staff, great food. Butternut squash risotto and a three desert selection for me, but everyone else enjoyed their pastas and other dishes. Will definitely go back.

The food was excellent as usual. The service was very good and we had a lovely table by the window. Highly recommend.

An old favourite of mine. It's a place where you can drop in and have a pleasant meal with friends, unpretentious and genuinely nice food. Always go for the specials!

First time I've felt compelled to write a review. I ate here alone with my 14 year old daughter and the waiter serving us couldn't stop starring at my daughter's chest. A real lech! I couldn't even make a fuss and complain because I could tell that my daughter was already quite uncomfortable. I felt so concerned by his behaviour that I accompanied her to the toilet!

My lady and I were walking our way through London. We were hungry and it looked like rain. Quite by a wonderful accident we happened upon Olivelli. WOW; it was a wonderful Italian meal. That said i know because Im am of Sicilian ancestry and live from in New York. Everything was great: starters are served on nice wooden plate, mains are fantastic and desert was the real Sicilian deal. The prices are reasonable; so if you are in town dont hesitate.

We practically stumbled upon this restaurant at the first day of a weeks vacation in London, and it looked quite inviting, the menu sounded great, and the surroundings was perfect.

Restaurangen ligger fint beläget på en liten gata och har en mysig inredning. Personalen var trevlig och gav god service. Däremot så var vi besvikna på maten. Vi beställde två pizzor med tillhörande vitlöksbröd vid sidan om. Vitlöksbrödet var riktigt gott men pizzan var ganska smaklös och tomatsåsen smaken nästan lite sur. Vi kunde faktiskt inte äta upp maten. De tog också ett överpris för maten. Synd med maten på ett så fint ställe.

As someone who has recently learned of and is now living with allergies, going out to eat is no easy experience. This is one of the worst I have had. Not because I had a reaction, but because the staff were so untrusting of what I could eat, that I didn't.

Had main course come out as a starter, food is clearly mass produced which you can't season because you have rock salt and peppercorns on the table in regular shakers instead of grinders... very odd! Manager was rude and snappy, at no point from start to finish did we feel welcome and was soon after taking our order that we realised this was a poor choice of restaurant. Was even rude and very condescending to my father whilst paying because he had trouble entering his PIN!!!

Stopped in for a Pizza & glass of wine on the off-chance. Freindly & gracious waiter served us sitting outside. Customised pizza which turned out to be one of the best I can recall. Worth considering.
