"Just dined at this local Italian restaurant. This was a very lovely place, my regret is I forgot to take a picture of my starter and my desert, the 2 best dishes!! The starter I had was the calamari served with tartar sauce. These were the biggest rings of calamari I've ever had. They looked beautiful and they tasted incredible! My mains, as you can see, was the pan fried breaded chicken with spaghetti pomodoro (a plum tomato sauce). The food tasted good, the pasta was cooked well, the sauce was fresh and sweet. I selected both these dishes from their set menu however I was too late to get the set menu price of £10.95. Instead we paid £8 for the calamari and £13 for my main. The food was definitely good enough to visit again for the set menu deal which has many items to choose between. I also forgot to take pictures of my desert which was profiteroles in warm chocolate sauce. I kinda attacked them as soon as they hit the table!! They were awesome, not the best profiteroles I've had but great nonetheless. Also it was only £5 for 3 so a little on the expensive side. The choux pastry was soft, the cream was delicious and the warm choc sauce was lovely! By the way the best profiteroles I've had was at Le Relais de Venise in the City, a kinda favourite place of mine, very simple menu with absolutely amazing deserts! All in all, Olivelli was a great Italian place with impeccable service. A friend of mine joined us unexpectedly and the staff were so accommodating moving us to a bigger table. They recommended dishes and condiments, one of which was a roasted and chopped garlic in olive oil which tasted great through the spaghetti as I do love garlic, and were generally very friendly. Definitely worth trying especially for the set menu which operates between noon and 5pm, well on a Saturday at least."

The restaurant was quite busy, but it had a cozy atmosphere. The appetizers were average, but the scallopini al funghi was delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly. Overall, we had a great time dining with our team.

Had a family meal booked here. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Food was amazing and really tasty and fresh. The restaurant is very intimate and was a relaxed atmosphere. Reasonably priced especially with it being in London. Would definitely recommend to others to go.

Quickly becoming a favourite. Food and service are absolutely faultless; the restaurant straddles the line between 'fine dining ' and 'family run ' very nicely. We are always made to feel welcome and appreciated. The house wine is strongly recommended, as is the tiramisu which might be the best I 've ever tasted. Full marks!

This restaurant has an incredible variety of Italian dishes that really capture the essence of Italy. You'll want to keep coming back for more. The pasta dishes are some of the best, with unique combinations and fresh cheeses that give them a truly distinct taste. It's a must-visit for anyone looking for the perfect Italian meal outside of Italy.

Olivelli restaurant is definitely one of my favorite Italian spots in London. It is located around 10 minutes away from Waterloo tube station and offers a variety of Italian dishes along with a wide selection of white and red wines. I particularly love their Caprina pizza with goat cheese and rocket. My partner tried the Pollo Milano chicken with a side of fried dish and spaghetti pomodoro, which were both delicious. We had a wonderful dining experience with great service and enjoyed a pleasant afternoon outside at Olivelli's outdoor seating area. Our total bill came to around £40, which we found to be quite affordable considering the quality of the food and service. I highly recommend this...
