C’est un top restaurant italien, le personnel est super sympa et très accueillant. Les plats sont très raffinés. Les prix sont vraiment correct pour l’endroit. A conseiller vivement

Had the best lunch here! Ordered carbonara and my friend had the calzone. Both were piping hot and absolutely delicious. Succumbed to the pistachio gelato for dessert! Fantastic service and will definitely return

durante la nostra ultima vacanza a Londra abbiamo cenato nel ristorante due sere di seguito ed entrambe le volte siamo state soddisfatte. ho provato la pizza, gli antipasti e anche i primi piatti e il dolce. la pizza è molto buona, non alta, ma morbida e appetitosa. gli antipasti sono vari e sfiziosi, anche se non molto abbondanti. il primo piatto di pesce era abbandonante e squisitamente piccante. ho preso anche il fritto di pesce, la perfetta impanatura compensava i totani un po' duri. il locale è piccolo, ma molto accogliente, luminoso e deliziosamente caldo a fronte della fredda aria esterna di Londra. una nota a favore è la doppia porta che impedisce che qualsiasi sgradevole spiffero possa penetrare all'interno. ho trovato tutto pulito e ho apprezzato molto i piatti con decorazioni "alla siciliana". ma il vero punto forte del locale è il personale. i camerieri e i capi sala sono tutti giovani e gentilissimi che ci hanno fatto sentire perfettamente a nostro agio, attenti alle nostre esigenze e di grande educazione. e' collocato nella parte est di waterloo, in una zona piena di locali. è consigliata caldamente la prenotazione, perchè è sempre pieno. infatti la prima volta che abbiamo voluto cenare lì, ci siamo presentate direttamente a locale ma purtroppo non abbiamo trovato posto. le sere successive, ci siamo fatte furbe e abbiamo prenotato per tempo. ci piace!

This was a very disappointing experience. Average food, inexperienced staff and expensive for what it is. The main attraction was proximity to the Young Vic.

Phoned ahead and got a table for 2 adults and 2 kids at short notice. In contrast to another restaurant we’d tried, they couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating of our baby (despite not being a typically family friendly place). They have a highchair which straps onto a seat, which is actually better in my opinion than a lot of dirty rubbish high chairs you get in places. It’s cosy in there, small tables, close together but that adds to the atmosphere. Super fast service and the food was all delicious. We left all feeling very full! One of the best meals out we’ve had as a family. Would definitely return.

A big thank you to all the staff at Olivelli Waterloo for a wonderful Christmas work team lunch. Organising, and catering for, 25 people is never an easy task but the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from the point of booking until the moment we left. We had a big selection of different dishes between us and everybody really enjoyed their food, which was generously portioned and reasonably priced. Lots of brownie points for me at work as the organiser - so thank you Olivelli team! Would definitely recommend.

Los platos principales estaban bien, todos teníamos un plato de pasta, estaban sabrosos pero bastante secos. Sin embargo, creo que esa podría ser una tendencia siciliana, como he notado antes. Las papas fritas courgetti estaban claramente congeladas, ya que todavía estaban muy frías en el interior y tuvieron que ser devueltas. Cuando pedí que mis raviolis tuvieran un poco de salsa de tomate, ya que simplemente tenía un poco de verdura y lo que fuera que se hubiera cocinado, se lo quitaron y lo devolvieron después de ser cocinado en microondas y tuve que pedir la salsa de nuevo, vino en un plato aparte. Los pudines eran deliciosos y el personal era muy servicial en sus respuestas. No estoy seguro de lo que estaba pasando en la cocina. No creas que volveremos el mes que viene cuando estemos en la zona de nuevo.

I was in London for a business trip and Ristorante Olivelli happened to be near the hotel I was staying. The food and service was excellent. I try to visit different restaurants while abroad but the food was so good I had to go there twice. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine.

Great restaurant. Got there early evening without a reservation. No problem in finding us a table. The restaurant soon filled up and had we been later it wouldn’t have been so easy to get a table. This is a popular restaurant and it’s easy to see why. The food was good and the service was excellent. Thank you Zoltan. My husband loves tiramisu and he rated this one of the best he’s ever had. We will definitely return.

Abbiamo mangiato molto bene in questo ristorante italiano vicino alla fermata della metropolitana di Southwark ( Jubilee line). Inizio con una buona bruschetta, poi una carbonara deliziosa e tortelli molto gustosi. Locale carino, piatti in ceramica dipinti ( dalla Sicilia ), personale simpatico. Servizio rapido, consiglio comunque di prenotare. Ci siamo ritornati prima di partire.

We'd booked a table ahead of a trip to the Old Vic theatre, and were coming from the other side of London. A problem with the tube meant that we were stranded and were going to be *very* late, so we phoned Olivelli and they were completely understanding. When we finally arrived, more than 35min late and only 45min before the play was due to start, the restaurant was absolutely packed, with just our table for two still free. The manager read our minds, and assured us that we'd be able to have a full meal and still get out in time - he prioritised our orders and turned a stressful moment into a relaxing meal! Not only was the service absolutely outstanding, the food was great, I had the bruschetta and a spicy Campagnola pizza. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Avevamo voglia di cibi italiano e ci siamo fermati per una cena: ottima pasta apprezzata anche da nostro figlio di 8 anni (ha scelto un primo in cui, su nostra richiesta, han tolto degli ingredienti che avevano aggiunto a un piatto base di pasta al pesto). Disponibilità del personale di sala e prezzi allineati ai ristoranti di zona. Da consigliare per chi stanco di hamburger vuole qualcosa di tradizione italiana

Booked restaurant as it was near a venue we where booked to attend later. On being seated we had to then ask 10 mins later for the menu. Once our drinks order was taken we had to then again try to get the attention of staff to order our food. Ordered two fish dishes which came very quickly and were mediocre at best. Once again we had to try and get the attention of staff to clear plates and order dessert. We received the bill after again trying to get the attention of staff but had to put on coats and go to the till to pay. We paid the bill minus the service charge with no comment made by what I believe to be the manager,

I went to Ristorante Olivelli’s for lunch in Mayfair and honestly it was fantastic! The restaurant setting was so lovely and the staff were just so kind. The waiter had always came to ask if everything was okay with our food and was just so lovely. Also I can see why it was so busy, it’s just a brilliant restaurant that I had to recommend it on my Instagram food blog (londonfoodieofficial) if anyone wants to follow. I’d just go back there any day, it’s 5 star for me all round 😁

My son booked Olivelli’s for a meal with family and friends for his 30th birthday prior to joining up with more friends at a nearby rooftop bar. From start to finish the staff were extremely attentive and although we were a large group of 18, all our orders were taken quickly and efficiently. Our food arrived in good time and I can honestly say it was one of the nicest Italian meals I have ever had. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the food and the ambience of Olivelli’s together with attentive and professional staff at all times - even though with 18 of us, it did get quite noisy, but the staff took it all in their stride! A fabulous little find and one that I shall definitely be returning to in the future, thank you Olivelli’s

My partner and I were out for a walk. And we were intrigued by the Italianness of the restaurant. Being very busy, we returned later. Unfortunately we were disappointed. We ordered pumpkin flowers and chips. The zucchini flowers were really full of frying oil and the fries were nothing special. As for the first course, pasta, there was nothing Italian about it. The sauce was sour, the pasta tough and the meat had no taste, as well as no salt. The manager asked us how it went, and being disappointed, offered us a dessert for one. And he was very kind to us.

Mis amigos y yo estábamos disfrutando pacíficamente de un capuchino cuando un “gerente” se acercó repentina y groseramente a nosotros, instruyéndonos agresivamente para que nos fuéramos. La única explicación dada fue una afirmación vaga y poco clara de que se nos consideraba una "amenaza para la seguridad. " Para empeorar las cosas, nos dijeron que nuestras imágenes habían sido capturadas en circuitos cerrados de televisión y que serían enviadas a la policía si "algo sucedía", aunque nunca se explicó lo que eso significaba. No se proporcionó ninguna aclaración adicional, lo que nos dejó inquietos y tratados injustamente. Todo cliente merece ser tratado con justicia y respeto, sin prejuicios ni acusaciones infundadas.
