Booked this as seen good reviews and it did not let us down .Amazing place food and service was 10/10 will be back soon !!!!

Impromptu lunch stop before train home - great value food, well presented & served quickly. Nice range of beers & ciders. Friendly staff & a nice chilled vibe. Thoroughly recommended

We visited Olive for Sunday lunch and we loved it. We received a friendly welcome on arrival both chose lamb shanks. The meal was lovely and well presented with a plentiful shared platter of vegetables. We will definitely be booking again shortly

The service was incredible! All the staff were super accommodating and sweet. The food was incredible, tasted home-made. The gelato was mouth-watering and tasted just like the real fruit. Great music and decorations were a happy bonus.

Best pizza I've had in the UK hands down, very reasonable prices, staff are always happy and treat you as a friend. Massive shame that they appear to struggle to stay afloat in the current economic climate. Would be a huge loss to the Salisbury food scene if they close for good.

The best pistachio ice cream I’ve probably ever had, and I’ve tried many in Italy! I was disappointed that I had missed out on the tiramisu but not for too long because the creamy pistachio with a slight saltiness was heavenly

Lovely yummy pizza, good value, happy full up family! Would definitely order from here again if in the area.

I was looking for a nice place to take my wife for her birthday. She loves Italian food and I came across this highly rated restaurant. Food was outstanding, some of the best Italian food we’ve had. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend.

Excellent staff welcome us , friendly relaxed atmosphere. Great choice on the menu . Delicious food served and a super meal either drinks was very reasonable priced . Highly recommend.

Excellent value for money, my husband and I had the two course lunch menu whilst our daughter enjoyed the Seafood Risotto. Flavourful prawn cocktail starters and Sea Bass with crushed new potatoes as main course was a lovely treat. All beautifully presented and everything was obviously cooked to order. Our daughter asked for the prawns to be swopped for an alternative and this was easily accomplished by the most succulent mussels taking pride of place on a delicious plate of saffron Seafood Risotto We would definitely return to enjoy another lovely meal. The service was great, the menu variety is good and covers all dietary options without hassle. Next time we may even have a bottle of wine! Thank you

We have only just moved to the area. Our first take away and it was fantastic. Arrived exactly on time, the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered far too much...but that just meant lunch for the next day! Definitely going to go there/take out again!

Had salted caramel and it did no disappoint, nice cone and service, great gelato five stars on all accounts, no debate whatsoever

After over a decade of visiting Minehead we were recommended to try this restaurant. I am delighted to say it was well worth it. Delightful home feel and decor, this small restaurant and its owner Cristina make you feel the centre of attention as their guest. Beautifully prepared home cooked food from my main of pollo parmy and rigatoni to dessert of tiramisu, all washed down with a Victoria Beer. Can’t wait to visit again when we’re back in May 2025.

We tried this restaurant after walking past a couple of times recently, and we are so glad we did! We were seated whilst the restaurant was fairly quiet, and were pleased to find homemade pastas that were a little different to most average Italian restaurants, we had spaghetti with clams, perfect pasta with huge clams, seasoned beautifully, and truffle tagliatelle served at the table in a Parmesan wheel, which was quite possibly the nicest thing I have eaten in a long time! Perfect portion sizes and small but very decent wine list. We also tried the homemade tiramisu which was fantastic too! Service was friendly even though the young lady serving us was on her own with 20+ customers! We will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends! Thanks for a lovely evening!
