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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amazing pizza , friendly staff, we will definitely be back

An excellent evening. Best Italian food in Ramsgate!

The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner. I tried the margherita pizza, which had a deliciously thin crust and fresh basil that really elevated the flavour. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a delightful meal, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine!

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.

A great place to eat the minestrone soup was fantastic and the pizza toppings were generous. Highly recommend this family run traditional Italian restaurant.

Very friendly and popular restaurant. The Lobster and Crab Ravioli was delicious as was the Cannelloni . Lunch time offer very good

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.

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.

We have eaten here before and the food was lovely. So I am not sure what happened in the last few years. My husband ordered the pizza meat. It was so soggy in the middle and under cooked. I ordered the surf and turf and my steak was cold and not cooked right and extremely chewy. Most of the staff were really rude also. Apart from the young Guy who brought are drinks. We won’t be returning. Such a shame as previous experience was good.

Ordered a pizza on Saturday Evening. Pizza was ok but unfortunately the bottle of pepsi tasted like an old damp cloth. Obviously an old bottle as it didn't have the new type of lid introduced in UK a while ago. I've kept the mouldy bottle of fizzy drink as evidence. 🫤
