Olivocarne in City of London

Can somebody kindly enlighten me but didn't this use to be Mimo D'Ischia many years ago?

High quality food with friendly staff.

lovely ladies night dinner here, i love all the olivo restaurants so much the quality of the food is divine. The carpaccio with the steak slices is so good so satisfying to eat with the lovely strong balanced olive oil and salty slithers of parmesan. The combination of bottarga with the tartar is so intriguing and special and delicious. The ragu was amazing as you would expect, heavenly ribbons of pasta fresh eggy golden delightful. The crab spaghetti was maybe my favourite, it had so much crab meat in it felt very luxurious and regal. The lamb chops were so soft and really the best lamb chops i’ve ever had. The liver was also delicate and sweet. A little glass of fernet branca and we were giggling all the way home.

Stunningly authentic, I felt I was in Italy, wonderful attentive service / great Italy Cuisine. Highly recommended

MERAVIGLIOSO! We had a wonderful dinner here - we loved everything about Olivocarne. They accommodated our special requests because the staff are wonderful, so courteous, classy, the best service ever.The food - “I’m in love with this pasta!” Came out of our mouths so many times. Even a simple gnocchi dish tasted divine.The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous, immaculately clean and stylish. I’ve been to all of the Italians in London, I sometimes think, from the nicest to the least nice, and this is absolutely at the top.I will be returning many, many times. A wonderful evening. Thank you so much!

Excellent italian. One of the best short wine lists i've seen, with decent prices.

Main dish fillet steak was certainly very good and perfectly cooked desert also very good but aubergine salad starter albeit competently done was pretty basic and pretty overpriced for what it was. House wine and service good so perhaps 4 stars a bit harsh but price a factor in that rating..

The perfect place for a fine and sophisticated dinner.Quiet and elegant restaurant with a somehow romantic atmosphere...Perfect for a dinner date.Authentic Sardinian food served by Sardinian people with the highest standards of quality and hospitality expected from à La Carte restaurants.For me nothing is more Sardinian then ‘Seadas’ for dessert.They serve gluten free pasta & desserts.Sardinian wine from Canonau grapes and a “Mirto” liquor to wrap up a perfect Sardinian food experience in the heart of London.When we visited, Giorgio was the manager ensuring the high standards.It’s been a couple of years but the experience was truly memorable.Hard to beat! ...Unless you go the Island itself.Will definitely come back when Lockdown is over for a ‘Curlugiones’ (Sardinian gnocchi) main.I would encourage you to dress elegantly.

We hosted a small dinner party for 10 last weekend at Oliviocarne. It couldn't have been better. The restaurant is lovely . We had a quiet table in the back where we could talk without difficulty. But what made the evening so perfect was the exceptional service and delicious food. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

As a vegetarian I may not the best person to judge the food here in its entirety, given the "carne" in the name, but I was surprised to find on a recent visit they had as many as four vegetarian friendly pasta dishes on the menu. The Olivo restaurants seem to excel in deceptively simple sounding dishes made exceptionally well, with really outstanding ingredients. The bavettini al crudo is a long running favourite of mine from the group, and exemplary of this - essentially just raw tomatoes and (perfectly cooked) pasta, a bit of garlic and olive oil. How can just that be so good? I have tried to recreate this at home and it's never quite the same! The curlugiones - a Sardinian speciality - are also sublime.
