The best restaurants serving Italian food in Thanet South East

We have been wanting to try this place for so long but first came the lockdowns and we always left it too late and it was booked up. Finally we booked ahead and got a table on a Saturday night for 2 of us.It was so worth the wait - this is a tiny treasure in Margate. The atmosphere was lovely - romantic and intimate, despite 3 other bigger parties on tables around us. wonderful music playing, delicious smells coming from the kitchen - we truly felt like we had been transported to Italy! And the food - simple, beautiful, incredibly tasty, fresh, authentic flavours. You could really tell everything was made with love. Every dish was perfect and bursting with flavour. The portions were good and both my meat loving partner and my vegan self, felt satisfied and happy. Really wonderful staff - just 3 of them, the owner and chef, the kitchen asssitant and the front of house but they worked together seamlessly. How they manage to do all this and so well, in a tiny space, whilst creating a relaxed, happy and warm atmosphere, is a true to credit to all of them. Many other bigger, higher staffed local restaurants could learn a thing or two from visiting Olivio! We can't wait to come back - a true treasure!

Best PIZAA BAR IN MARGATE TOWN I WENT HERE WITH THE MISSES FOR OUR 6th year aniverseri and they prepared out table lovely nd everything top quality ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Consistently good! Caters for a gluten free friend without any hassles, or problems. A great welcome is always assured. Freshly cooked, tasty food, good value and worth checking out any specials alongside the regular menu.

My party of 26 visited this restaurant yesterday evening for a celebration. We had the whole upstairs to ourselves and the service was excellent. Both waiters serving us were very nice and polite young men and we were thoroughly pleased with the food. I didn't hear a single complaint from any one of my group xxx

Authentic food, great wines, lovely staff. The ragu was phenomenal!

We ordered a takeaway from here on Saturday night. Margaretta and a seafood one. Both were cooked to perfection and we had garlic bread as well, which perhaps was a little dry. The staff were friendly and the restsurant clean. Added bonus it has a gin bar opposite and thats where we waited for them. We would go back.

The food was excellent ,service was friendly and staff always happy to help ,a lovely warm atmosphere

Food is outstanding, family run Italian restaurant that for some reason doesn't have the traffic through the door. Lovely people and food as good as you will get outside of Italy.

The food and service continue to be excellent. Always a lovely friendly atmosphere. One of our group was a wheelchair user and the staff could not have been any more helpful. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We dined here on 5th of November. It was lunchtime with only one other table occupied. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. Worth a visit! Hopefully we will be back when in the area again!

Lovely restaurant. Had a fantastic lunch. Staff was very friendly. Cam was particularly attentive. Highly recommended.

Disappointing. We have been here before and we had enjoyed the food and service. This time we waited more than one hour for the mains. We had to complain because no one came to us to excuse or to explain what was happening. Then the disapointment was even biggee because the food was tasteless. So, bad service and bad food for too much money.

Earlier in the day we'd visited the Tate in Margate. We'd been chatting to one of the guides there and she suggested we go to Broadstairs "and you must go to Morelli's" We did. Brilliant place. Superb ice cream. Highly recommended

Lovely food . Very polite and friendly Waiter (can’t remember his name). Clean and good atmosphere. We have been a few times and will definitely be returning.

I'm probably a bit behind the curve here, but the last time I tried to order from Papa John's the Broadstairs branch was closed. Not sure whether that was for refurbishment or change of franchisee, but the most important thing is that it is open again and the pizzas are just the best. They are definitely my go to and the service is quick and friendly as well as the pizzas being well made and tasty. Absolutely no complaints. Long may the remain in Broadstairs. Definitely better than the other pizza options.
