I rarely write negative reviews. I'd like to think maybe I just had a single bad experience of what otherwise COULD be a nice restaurant which had an off day... However, I need to warn my fellow Yelpers to stay away from Oliveto if you value Good Pizza! I mean, how hard is it to have good pizza!?! It is a simple staple which I have enjoyed in the US, in China and yes even in Italy. At it's most basic, it should be dough, sauce (doesn't have to be tomato necessarily), mozzarella and maybe some toppings, right? Here is where Oliveto went wrong for my mother and me: 1) they use cheap cheddar cheese - not mozzarella! 2) not a lot of sauce, maybe just enough to color it 3) the dough was soggy and didn't rise (I actually like thin crust, but this was inferior doug and 4) topping that were not as advertised, i.e. prosciutto should not look like and taste like store-bought sliced ham! Service was okay - the men like to talk about customers in their native tongue, thinking that patrons don't know what they are saying about them. We were so glad that we split a pie - most tables got a pie per person. Neither of us could finish this "pizza" honestly. Perhaps the only redeeming thing are the prices - this might be the cheapest choice in an otherwise expensive neighborhood. read more

Great, great pizza! Staff is super friendly and efficient in moving tables. The sausage pizza maybe one of the best I've had in a while. House rose was on point and the pacing of the food was solid. The only downside was the noice level. Super loud. Could be managed with some under the table sound damping. We will return for sure read more

Oliveto - Italian Near Me - London, XGL

One of the best meals I had in London. I was on the hunt to find delicious Italian food & this place satisfied my craving. My husband & I started with the Calamari Fritti Con Rucola. I've had a lot of calamari during my foodie lifetime & this was done so well. The squid was breaded perfectly & was a top a salad with sweet balsamic dressing that pulled the whole appetizer together. Don't expect a whole platter of calamari. We were happy with the amount we got plus you don't want to fill up on the appetizer. ;) I ordered the Tagliatelle Al Prosciutto for my main course, which included cream of Mascarpone cheese & shallots. It was love at first sight when I saw the pasta was wrapped in the prosciutto! It was creamy & the perfect amount of saltiness. I drizzled some of their spicy olive oil on top & it took it to the next level. My husband ordered the Linguine Al Granchio, which was pasta with crab meat. Both dishes were simple, but perfect. For dessert we ordered the Coffee Gelati that came in a gorgeous glass cup. Ice cream & gelato should always be presented this way! If only we discovered this place sooner during our trip, we would've definitely come back. Service was very welcoming & attentive. I think the servers could tell we loved the food because we cleaned the plates. No shame, lol. The dishes were simple, but didn't lack in flavor. Thank you Oliveto for satisfying our Italian food cravings on a late Friday night! read more

Oliveto's poor service, grubby decor and non-functioning toilet have it very borderline, as do the high prices, but as many others have pointed out the pizzas are both excellent and huge. I would say this is one of the best pizzas I've had in London. Also, whatever the diners next to us were having looked absolutely brilliant - massive portions of extremely fresh and appetising looking food. Wish I had asked what it was. I guess I will now have to sample the entire menu to find out. My bff spotted AA Gill leaving the establishment - google search has turned up the following from him: "Oliveto, which makes constantly brilliant pizzas that have been feeding my kids for a decade." So there you go! read more

My second time!! When I called before 6p.m. on Saturday to book, fortunately there was only one table available.It was only until 8:30 so we rushed. We knew exactly what we would order. 'Spaghetti with mullet roe' could never be missed here!!! Once you had it, it would definitely become your addiction. Also 'Raw beef slices' never be missed. Parmesan shavings and truffle oil go really well with them. Good harmony Rich and flavourful! 'Crab meat pasta' was served a lot and looked nice when we first came. So tried it this time. It turned out it's really amazing full of garlic taste. Most of all are simple menu but never disappoint me. The prices are nice as well.(2 pasta, raw beef,red endive salada and two drinks cost 80£ in total. ) I'd definitely come back soon ;) read more

I cannot believe I haven't heard of this place sooner! My friend has been to this place several times and I have a gut feeling that this restaurant holds a special sentiment in his heart. I'm glad he shared this place with me so now I can share this with all yelpers. The first thing I want to stress is to book ahead of time. Even on a Wednesday even, this place is packed. If we had not walked in at 7 (when it opened) I'm sure we would have to wait for table. You can tell why it's so popular: the food (albeit on the pricier side) is really good. What we ordered: -Polpo Con Rucola: Octopus dressed with oil, vinegar and garlic -Speghetti Ai Ricci Di Mare: Spaghetti with sea urchins, garlic and a touch of chili -Tagliatelle Al Cozze (special): Fresh tagliatelle with cream of mascarpone cheese, shallots and muscles. -Tiramisu: Sponge fingers soaked in coffee with marscarpone cream and cocoa -Gelato allo yoghurt: Sardinian bitter honey frozen yoghurt From the appetizer to the desserts, it was all amazing. Nothing was amiss, although in hindsight, I wish I ordered a pizza as well. You can tell the people there are passionate about their job and know what they're doing. The highlight of the evening was when our waitress forgot my glass of wine until we were nearly finished. She apologised and asked if I still wanted it. When we decided it was too late for a glass as we were nearly finish and would rather go to a pub afterwards, she was very understanding and took it off our bill. read more

Great italian food. I had the gnocchi, which was fantastic. My friends had the sardinian spaghetti and spaghetti with sea urchin. I know, this place is known for their pizza, but we were really craving pasta! We all liked our dishes, altho the sardinian spaghetti was a bit too fishy. Service was good as well, we had three people and they actually had to move a couple one table over to fit us (whoops to the couple!), which was really nice (of both parties). read more

The food here is quite tasty and affordable. It is at an even better value if you get the pizza which is more than enough to feed one mouth, even two and okay, three if you have some kids or everyone is on a diet! I believe they're known for their pizzas but i couldn't resist getting the sea urchin pasta - it sounded so fancy! The portion however was very tiny and it tasted primarily like olive oil, so not the most satisfying. And it wasn't a plentiful of sea urchin meat (see uploaded photo for reference) but then again I've never had a sea urchin pasta before so maybe it's suppose to be dainty servings. I think this was also the first Italian restaurant that didn't serve complimentary bread or salad so i was quite hungry at the start and also at the end of the main course. My friends who ordered pizza seemed quite full though. :-) So, I decided to order desert too. I had the chocolate and almond cake which came with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. The ice cream is also its own desert item but it's around the same price, which is why i ordered the cake that came with the bonus ice cream as a side! Cake was a bit bitter and dry though but it was still tasty dark chocolate flavor . It had almond pieces but no almond taste so I think the almonds were really just for the texture. The service was great because I showed up prematurely to the restaurant thinking my friend made reservations. The owner checked their reservation list and called another its branch restaurant to find my party's name. When my friends finally arrived, they said they didn't call in advance - oopsies! However they gladly seated us to an open table and told us that the next party will need the table an hour and a half from now. We were delighted to not have to wait! Overall a good value restaurant and friendly for a kids, a candle light dinner or just catching up with friends. read more

Oliveto - Spaghetti Ai Ricci Di Mare - spaghetti with sea-urchins, garlic, and a touch of chili - Italian Near Me - London, XGL

Oliveto is a simple restaurant if you judge it from its decor, but it serves really good Italian food, and you will find some interesteing surprises for your choice of meal. The service is a little slow and some times inattentive, but polite. The dishes are beautifully presented and the flavors very good. If you want to go book ahead as it gets really busy and you might find a table but end up being rushed. I recommend the pasta dish with crab. This restaurant is good for coming with friends, family and children. read more

Great place for some pizza and pasta! Super kid friendly- considering they have pizza. Service was great, and the waiters were super nice and welcoming to Americans. The food was pretty good- not the best I've ever had. Great atmosphere, nice street. If you do sit outside here's a tip- there are lots of bees! Try not to order a sugary drink, or else they will be all over your drink! This is a great option if you are staying in Belgravia! 4 stars read more

There are two Italian restaurants within a stone's of each other throw near the corner of Ebury and Elizabeth street. One was absolutely empty, a server inside pacing anxiously about, doing her best to restrain herself from running out, grabbing us by the wrists, and pulling us inside as we pursued the very expensive menu. And then there was Oliveto, absolutely packed to the gills, with only one two-top table available at 8pm on Thursday night. Telling? A bit. Needless to say, we chose Oliveto and were not disappointed. Starting with the carrot, potato and rosemary soup, we discovered that they had entire wine sections devoted to Sardinia. And entire food sections devoted to Sardinia. And entire pizza menus devoted to, you guessed it, Sardinia. About half way through our perfectly cooked crab linguine and buffalo mozzarella pizza, we spotted the table to our left devouring cuttlefish with squid ink glaze, and to our right rocking some sea urchin pasta. It only took us a few more painstakingly dense minutes to realise that... hey, this must be a Sardinian restaurant! (I promise, I was the only blond one in the group...) I would highly recommend this spot for a easy authentic Italian meal out, a smokin' cheap date (relatively,) or a quick dinner either pre or post show if you're in Victoria. A bit on the pretentious side, but with food this good, I can't blame them! read more

Having lived in the Italian food capital of Roma for a few months, this small yet authentic Italian restaurant in London is truly a delight. Located in either the city of Westminster or Chelsea, this quaint but beautiful neighborhood draws its customers from a lively, but almost regal-like crowd. The food at Oliveto was astounding. Beginning with their Mozzarella, I was delighted to say that it was juicy, cold and amazing. The freshness of the mozzarella is always a good way to test the authenticity of an Italian restaurant. My entree consisted of their Pizza 4 Stagioni. Italian-styled pizza is my favorite and this pizza only confirmed that. Nice thin crust, not burnt, but just right. Covered with Sardinian ham, sausages, and more mozzarella (yes, I cannot get enough of it), this pizza was cooked masterfully and my taste buds were thoroughly rewarded. The staff here are very amicable and are responsive to your needs. Not only that, but they actually refill your tap water glasses pretty consistently, which is a rarity among European restaurants in general. Definitely a gem of an Italian restaurant. ~Carpe Diem~ read more

Was it an outstanding dining experience? No. Was it a particularly memorable dinner? No. Did the atmosphere or the service make any impression on me? No. Was my meal delicious? Yes. Was it a good value for money? Certainly. And these are the things that matter to me. So, yes, I am a fan. The thinly sliced cured tuna was a particular surprise, and I'm game for any pizza that uses buffalo mozzarella. So many other things on the menu intrigued me, and as a lover of seafood and a Sardinian-food-eating novice I think I shall return to Oliveto to try all of them. read more

I wish I had had a better experience. We ordered a pizza with buffalo mozzarella and fresh tomatoes. My husband very quickly realized he didn't want the fresh tomatoes but they said it was too late to change the order. The pizza came fast but was inexplicably soggy. So so soggy. We couldn't figure out what was causing this. The service was slow- I ordered a diet Coke and I was pretty much done with my pizza by the time it came. Skip this place! read more

Awful service, food is okay!... I ordered a pizza and my friend ordered a calzone. It took 49 minutes to get our food. When I asked what was going on with the food, their lame excuse was.... is a pizza you know?!?!?.... I told them the tables on our sides(left and right) got here after us and they are already eating their pizzas!... same stupid excuse. Is a pizza!... I don't understand what the F** k do they mean by that?... why they don't just say... wait!... so rude and unprofessional.... if you want to spend your time and money, then by all means go to this place.... is not worth it. read more

Pulling up in a phantom, you think we would get better service. I loved the food, but they were SOOOO slow. CRAB Linguini! soooo good...and I've never had mozzarella as fresca as the one at Oliveto read more

One of the best meals my mom and I had in London when we visited. I had pasta and she had pizza and it was incredibly rich and flavorful, we couldn't have been more pleased. I will say is that reservations are critical - we had one and boy we were glad we did. You wouldn't expect such great food because the decor is a bit underwhelming when you arrive, but your tummy will thank you. The only downfall is the service that day, it seemed like they didn't have enough servers, everyone was sweet and kind and super nice but they seemed a bit stretch. Either way, I'd still return! read more

Mauro Sanna's cache of excellent eateries around the southern end of Belgravia set an amazing standard for food and service - and in the case of Oliveto in particular, price. Approaching the restaurant at the Victoria end of the beautifully repaved and refurbished Elizabeth Street may give one pause as there's usually a collection of expensive cars outside, and it's always packed and as a result is quite noisy and the chairs have a disturbing slope to the seats, but these are quibbles. The service is friendly and professional; Mauro himself is often in evidence and there's little waiting. On a recent Friday night visit we had booked at 9.00 but arrived at 8.15 and were found a table without fuss, and were quickly drinking the excellent Sardinian house white and red wine and tap water, while lapping up the signature ricci di mare (sea urchin) with toast, a treat only available all the year round at the sister restaurant Olivomare. But the true accolades must be reserved for the crab linguini, quite simply the most delicious pasta dish any of us had eaten. There was masses of crab and the linguine was coated so liberally with the rich sauce so that one could hardly get enough of it. One of us had the veal chop, which was also spectacularly good, though possibly just a trifle well-done. And another had the pizza calzone, which was spectacular, arriving at the table looking much like a woman's breast, but was quickly punctured! We ended with panacotta with a fruit sauce, reliably delicious. Three courses - the pudding shared - and a bottle of the sardinian red plus two glasses of the white brought the total with service to £35 a head. Terrific for London, and for that food and in that part of London, astonishing! read more

I went here on a recommendation from a friend. Consistent with the other reviews, the food is great but the service leaves something to be desired. I ordered the crab and garlic pizza, which was large enough for 2 people. The pizza was excellent, thin chewy crust with just enough crisp to it. Make sure to book a table if you're planning to go on a weekend. read more

Great little restaurant in a quite neighbourhood in London very close to my hotel Doubletree at Victoria Station.

Oliveto is a small, very authentic italian restaurant/pizzeria in the middle of the Belgravia area. I ate there a couple of times, and were pleased by the food (which has a Sardinian orientation) and the surprisingly good pizza (thin and tasty crust, good ingredients, perfect cooking). I see other reviewers mention slow service, I wonder if they mean that the food took long to cook (which is good, in my opinion) or the waiters didn't pay attention to them. When I went there the restaurant wasn't particularly crowded and the service was timely, if a little cold, given what I would be expecting from a southern Italian restaurant. Overall, good value for money, no frills restaurant for lovers of good quality, authentic Italian food. Not particularly indicated for people that needs classy/stylish ambiances wherever they eat. 7/10. read more

Oliveto serves better Italian food than any other restaurant worldwide in its price segment! Having lived in Helsinki, London, New York and Hong Kong and having eaten Italian food in more than 100 cities, I believe I can speak with some authority. I've been a regular for more than 20 years and I still visit Oliveto every time when I come from Hong Kong. The key is absolute consistency. The Carpaccio di Manzo and Malloredus Sardi taste exactly the same as 20 years ago and they are terrific! Not to mention pretty much everything else on the menu. The staff is excellent. Courteous and attentive without being overfamiliar (which I hate!). The only annoying thing is that it can be quite loud (it's always full!) as a result of the minimalist decor. The wine selection is limited (choose Cannonau for a full bodied Grenache) and could be improved upon. There are obviously other Italians across the world such as Otto e Mezzo in HK and Harry's Bar in London which surpass Oliveto in terms of fine dining, but in its price segment its unbeatable! read more

delicious pastas and pizzas!! i walk by oliveto everyday on my way to work, so it was only fitting that it be the venue for my going away lunch. i tried a bite of the special lobster pasta and the crab pasta, and both were fab. i ordered the pizza w/ anchovies and capers for myself, and i loved it. it was big enuf to share, but instead, now i have leftovers for dinner. :) read more

Like a number of other reviewers, i have mixed feelings about this place. I had to take a night bus from Victoria coach station and wanted to have Italian food. Based on the prices and the yelp reviews, i chose Oliveto. As my friends and i went in on a friday evening, we found that the restaurant was packed to the brim ... always a good sign. But the downside of the popularity was visible soon enough. We called and gestured ... but no one came to take our order. Two of us (out of the six) were 45 minutes late. We feared that we would finish by the time they arrived. But we had barely received the food on the table by then. I had ordered the traditional sardinian spaghetti with grey mullet roe. I haven't had fish pasta many times before and this one tasted very good (i will try some version of this again). But the taste was brought about by an excess of oil and butter (like what you see in cheap Indian restaurants). So much so that when i finished there was a measurable pool of oil left on the plate. My friends ordered pizza ... a variety of them, and all of them were considerably better than my pasta. One of them had the calzone, which was tasty and had a lot of good mozzarella and ricotta in it (in fact my spaghetti was the only dish that was less than filling). Someone ordered plain cheese and tomato while someone else ordered a mushroom pizza. The mushrooms were very good. That guy didn't like them so i borrowed a substantial chunk from him :) While we were there waiting and then eating, the crowd had thinned considerably. However the pace (or lack of it) of the service did not change at all. So i assume its a systemic problem that they have. One thing i noticed was that the manager seemed to know many of the arriving patrons. So this restaurant has quite a few regulars, and i could see the reason why. The food was delicious ... and at £14 per head, not too expensive either. If you want a cheap Italian meal in that part of the city, go for Oliveto. But if you have a bus to board in half an hour then this surely isn't the place for you. read more

Very nice Sardinian fare in a lovely London neighborhood, tucked away right in the center of town. Pizzas are great and the salads are too. The grilled tuna was delicious and the tiramisu and the gelato were superb. Seriously. Desserts should not be missed. The restaurant suffers from only one major problem; it is far too loud and sound reverberates everywhere. Some attention must be given to this and many solutions are available, if management desires (which it should). read more

Very accommodating to our diet and time needs. The food was outstanding! We both had fish dishes with an Italian twist. The service was excellent. We will revisit at our next travels to London. read more

Tried Oliveto while on vacation in London thanks to Yelp! The pizza was thin & with anything you want to add to it that was deeeeelicious! Loved the infused olive oils for the bread and even to sprinkle on your pasta. I had a special of the day linguini in garlic with clams YUM!!!! The hazelnut & pistachio gelato for dessert was perfect! Great wine, great service, fantastic food!!!! read more

So I'm not exactly sure what the fuss is about, maybe I didn't try the right meal or I'm just too demanding... We had a reservation and reading the reviews and comparing it to my experience this place doesn't seem to have the ambiance of a restaurant that is difficult to get a table. Granted the prices here want to indicate that this is a top notch restaurant but the service and food was average and the ambiance was just that of your very average restaurant. That said, if this place is as demanding as all make it to seem, then kudos to the staff for not making us feel rushed. When sitting down you get a type of fried pancake with rosemary sprinkled. I ordered the pasta with pork sausage, which was nice but nothing to draw me back with the desire to try more things off their menu. For dessert we all shared a tiramisu, whixh was actually pretty good. read more

Our last night in London and we wanted something close to our flat and a little lighter. YELP steered us here and it was perfect! Great service, pleasant, good quality food. Not too heavy. Pizzas are HUGE. You should each order a salad and then share a pizza. Too much for one person. Hubs had a ravioli that he loved. Super cute street with nice shops (although closed by dinnertime). Bookmark this! read more

This should really be zero stars. Went the first time and was told no prams allowed. No problem. Came back later with a collapsible pram, we were the first ones in the restaurant, and was told we have to reserve their only high chair in advance. The restaurant was empty. Third time will not be a charm. We live in the neighborhood and won't bother ever coming back. read more

Outstanding! Classic Sardinian cuisine yet young and energetic. We decided to make a meal of appetizers. I had the lentil and carrot soup. It was lovely, but not quite hot enough. I should have sent it back to be heated. My second appetizer was bresaola de tonno. Heaven on earth. Cured and dried tuna, sliced paper thick, draped over perfectly cooked haricots verts and drizzled with a sublime olive oil. Best thing I have put in my mouth in a long time (and I put lots of nice things in my mouth!). Dear hubby started with buffalo mozzarella with a mound of caponata. Buffalo mozzarella can be tricky, but this was perfect. The caponata was the perfect balance of sweet and sour and still very fresh. His second plate was artichoke with tomato and shrimp. He raved about that too. Since we had been good with dinner, having just two appetizers each after all, we decided gloom at the dolci menu. We went for the panna cotta with a raspberry coulis. The panna was black with vanilla beans. The coulis was extremely flavorful and, thank the good lord, not too sweet. Perfection. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Just exactly right. Plan to go again. Will be hard to not have the same things we had tonight, but we absolutely must try some of the native Sardinian pastas. They look just scrumptious. read more

Oliveto is a stylishly subdued Sardinian restaurant boasting top quality meals at reasonable prices. Lady Luck seemed to be on our side the evening that my friends and I visited, as we arrived at Oliveto around 10 p.m. and quickly got a table for five. However, I highly suggest making a reservation for this restaurant (especially on weekends) and will do so the next time I plan to visit. Not so much due to luck as to attentive service and delicious food, we had a wonderful time at this smart Belgravia restaurant. read more

For photos and more please refer to http://hungryinlondon.com/2011/10/oliveto-belgravia/ Oliveto is another example of a substandard,overpriced Italian restaurant in London. I don't know why you can find so many of them in London,I think I have eaten more bad Italian food than any other cuisine. Oliveto is part of a small Sardinian restaurant dynasty consisting of a few restaurants with olive inspired names (the others are Olivo,Olivomare and Olivino),all in the Belgravia area. Unfortunately,Oliveto is an example of a previously nice restaurant gone bad. I used to eat there once in a while several years back,and while it never was one of my favourite restaurants,it was appropriate for a decent,no fuss pizza or plate of pasta. I always disliked the restaurant's interior though. Completely devoid of anything (like carpets,wall paper,curtains) to dampen the sound of the diners,the background noise is deafening and you literally have to converse by shouting,even if you sit next to each other. Not the best atmosphere for a relaxed dinner,but good enough for a quick lunch. My first visit after several years was very disappointing. The plate of grigliata mista di verdure (8.70) as antipasto was mediocre and not exactly generous. Particularly as half of it was celeriac and celeriac is my top most hated vegetable. (Mind you,this little detail is NOT Oliveto's fault). My most favourite part of the meal was the bread basket. Fresh ciabatta and crisp pane carasau (the typical Sardinian bread) were surprisingly delicious,considering the rest of the meal. I would have had to go home hungry if not for this,as the pizza clearly missed the mark. Considering that Oliveto is supposed to be a Sardinian restaurant,I have my doubts that there could possibly be an Italian behind this pizza. I think you would call it a crime,no treason,against every proud Italian pizza chef. We chose pizza carretiera (13.40) which was advertised to contain buffalo mozzarella,fresh tomato and basil. The dough was not bad,thin and not too salty. The remainder however was horrible. Everything was swimming in tomato sauce,which tasted like straight out of a packet or tin and was far too liquid. To advertise basil as a pizza topping and then only add four measly leaves is a bit mean. However,to sprinkle everything with a weird green artificial tasting basil sauce is an abomination and can't be forgiven. The biggest problem was the 'fresh tomato'part. Apart from the fact that the tomatoes were tasteless,the useless pizza chef had put the pieces of buffalo mozarealla (I am not even sure it was buffalo to be honest) only exactly on top of the tomatoes. In case you were wondering this doesn't work,as it makes the cheese hard and stringy,you almost couldn't chew it. The atmosphere,as mentioned before,is more remeniscent of a busy train station (noise-wise I mean) and the service personnel is brusque. People don't seem to mind though,as it was absolutely packed when I went to Oliveto. I think I have just answered my own question,the reason why there are so many substandard,overpriced Italian restaurant in London is that people indiscriminately go there. read more
