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.

It was my first time in London and Bon Gusto was my first restaurant in the UK in my life. What a…read morewonderful first experience. It's a quaint little Italian spot in the heart of London and it's a wonderful place to spend, especially at night. We ordered the Spaghetti alla Carbonara, the Strozzapreti Boscaiola, and a Bellini and Mimosa to go with our dinner. The food took just a little while to get here but I was sure that it was because they were taking their care with every dish the chefs made. I was right. The pasta was fresh, the sauce and the ingredients tasted very simple and hearty. It all tasted like my hypothetical imaginary nonna made it. The drinks were very good too and complimented the food nicely. Our waiter was absolutely the nicest guy ever. He was very attentive and made sure that we were happy with everything. In my head, I was going to tip him well, and then when we got the check, there was no option to tip. God save the UK. America could learn a thing or two about what it means to not make life all about work. That's beside the point. If you're in London, visit Bon Gusto. I can't wait to come again and happily hand them my money with the biggest smile on my face.

It will tell you it is Rigatoni with Gricia sauce, pork cheeks, artichokes, and Pecorino cheese. The Rigatoni is perfectly al dente, and the sauce (the ingredients on the menu plus black pepper and starchy pasta sauce) is Heaven on Earth. It is also plenty for two as a starter. Before we even got very far into the dish, we placed an order for a second helping to go. That order is now in our fridge awaiting its role as our dinner tomorrow night. Yes, we had mains - Polpetta for my wife, sea bass for me. They were very very good, and ample. But, I still can't get the Rigatoni alla Gricia out of my mind. Lest I forget, I never give a five star rating to a restaurant for its food alone, no matter how wonderful. Jesus was our waiter, and he was fantastic. He was efficient, his timing was exquisite, and he was remarkably personable with a wonderful sense of humor. Bottom line is that, when in London on our next trip, Osteria Romana will absolutely be a dinner stop for these old folks.

While it is a beautiful date place, I will say the only con is you're very close to each other. You practically could hear each other's conversation even though it's a quiet environment. Even tables away, you can hear everyone. I did enjoy how upon entering, they request if you'd like your jacket hung and assist for no charge. I ordered the lamb chops and personally I wouldn't recommend. For the price, I was disappointed in the size. While in the photo they may look large, the chops were almost the same size as the potatoes on the left. So although they were seasoned really well, you'll still be hungry after. The old fashioned was very pleasant however. Would recommend for sure!

It's a really nice and spacious place inside. At about 7 pm on a Sunday night a man came to play the piano. So it was very nice listening to live music while we enjoyed our dinner. Please expect to spend some time here because just like any other European restaurant they take there time. You're meant to sit and enjoy your food and company. Pretty much most places I've visited in Europe are this way. So if you want the check you'll have to ask for it which is nice because you don't feel rushed. My husband and I split the arancini and the pizza piccante. Both were absolutely delicious and we were both very full. I did manage to fit some dessert in my belly. I chose to get the cheesecake which is made in house and the flavor changes everyday. Mine was a vanilla cheesecake with raspberry sauce. This I did not share... well I allowed my husband to have a tiny bite. I'm not a huge cheesecake person but wow. This cheesecake was spectacular. I wish I had ordered like four more of them. Definitely worth a try and it's also fun listening to the chefs in the kitchen speaking Italian. Reminds me of when I was in Italy.

The service was very kind and I enjoyed the ambiance and aesthetic of the restaurant. Everything was simple but flavorful. Even the olive oil on the caprese was super rich and amazing.

I felt quite spoilt from the moment I walked in. Where ever you choose the sit the food is excellent..... from the antipasto followed by an amazing Prawn Tempura and then on to the truly historic (a nod to Mr. Winner there) home made spinach and ricotta ravioli that seriously rival my mother's which has been hitherto unheard of. The lamb was delicious, perfectly cooked and rested enough to be meltingly tender. I also sampled Bottarga for the first time with more amazing home made pasta and it was a party in my mouth. Despite being very sated I couldn't resist trying the cheesecake, it was perfect. Being Italian people always ask me where they can get 'real' Italian food in London. The word 'real' invoking memories of startlit dinners and languourous lunches eaten under a Tuscan sun. In future......I'll be sending them to Il Giardino. It's a real taste of Italian Summer in a beautiful English Garden.
