"I had been searching for an authentic Italian restaurant in Hertfordshire for a while, and my quest led me to l'Olivo. I was pleased with my decision. The food, ambiance, and service were all outstanding. We enjoyed a top-notch meal. The restaurant's decor is tasteful and modern, without being too stylized. The music added to the atmosphere, with gentle piano music played at just the right volume. Standout dishes included saltimbocca with delicious zucchini fritti and spinach sides. While we didn't have wine, my Negroni cocktail was well-made. It was a flawless dining experience, and we will definitely be returning. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

I absolutely adore this restaurant. The Italian food is superb and the service is top-notch. We dined in for dinner and the price per person was around £50-60. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5.

Really lovely place to celebrate something special as the food and atmosphere definitely lends itself towards that rather than an quick meal out. Service was great, attentive without being over the top. Food was tasty, on the pricer side but the quality was good. Price per person: £40–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 View menu

Last night, OMG, what fantastic food, wine and company???? not to mention the wonderful staff. Nothing was too much bother including tweaking the freshly cooked food to be gluten free. Not cheap but worth every penny. Can't wait to return. Thank you. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £70–80 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We have driven passed L'Olivo an number of times, and always commented on the enticing aroma as we passed and that one day we would need to try the food. Why did we wait so long, Absolutely spot on food and service. Very welcoming and very attentive, and the the quality of the food was extremely high, good size portions and great flavors. Will defiantly not be long before a re-visit. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Risotto, Involtini
