We were lucky enough to catch a reservation for 2 at the last hour and it was the topping to a great day after the Van Goch exhibition. The week old chef calked Antonio and gorgeous waiter called Nello! Loved it xxx

Top quality food 👌 excellent service, we went there for lunch to celebrate a young member of the family's birthday 🎂, everyone enjoyed the lunch.

This is a lovely Sardinian restaurant which is not your average Italian. My husband was delighted (being a fish lover) to have the carpaccio di mare followed by spaghetti with grey mullet roe. I had the ravioli which was slightly undercooked around the edges and not very much to it in the sense of flavours, hence only four stars. I unfortunately took ill and had to leave quickly so we couldn't try the desserts. We will definitely return when next in London as this was only a quick visit.

This is my first time I traveled to London, and I thought I would try some Italian food. I read the reviews, and they were good. The food is good, but we were very disappointed with the service. They seated us and asked if we wanted wine, and I said no. Then the staff ignored us for the rest of our meal, but they were very attentive to the other customers. We noticed that the only difference between us and the other customers is that we didn't order any wine, and we wondered if that is why we didn't get the service the other tables got. They never came back to check on us to see if we were ready to order. I had to raise my hand for their attention. The manager came and took our order. Then, they continued to avoid our table and I had to get their attention again for more bread. I also asked for butter, but the waitress never brought it . At the end of the main course, they never asked if we wanted dessert even though we wanted to order some. The waitress continued to serve the other tables but completely ignored us. So, we had to call her for the bill. We also had to ask her twice to speak to the manager.Finally the manager came, I told him to take the service fee off the receipt because they did not deserve it. I also asked him why they didn't serve us like they should be doing. He didn't bother to explain and kept saying "I'm so sorry." I would never come back here and wouldn't recommend anybody to this restaurant. I got so mad that I forgot to take pictures the rest of my foods.

Everything was amazing! So delicious and now it is a favourite place of our family! Bravo!

We did not eat any Sardinian food but it is definitely ok the menu and the food is excellent, loved the crab pasta.

Really enjoyable and the best Italian cuisine eaten since my trip to Italy. Highly recommend for an entire dining experience: food, wine, and service.

Despite having been a regular at Olivo's sister restaurant Oliveto for the best part of a decade I'd actually never eaten here until recently - I'd looked at the menu a few times and never spotted anything vegetarian. Since the recent refurb (which looks very smart) I think they've also updated the menu, and now there were some vegetarian options, which were great. Really exquisite pasta and great seasonal ingredients cooked with real flair and imagination. Loved the asparagus with truffles, and the pappardelle with broad beans.

Excellent food. Great service. Busy & noisy, not a lot of space. All food we (6 people) got served was very good.
