Urban Life

The dishes were simply brilliant.

The Culinary Guide

Olivelli in Bloomsbury is bellissima. The restaurant has the sleekly inoffensive good looks (and relaxed atmosphere) of Pizza Express, but the food is in another league. Just don't forget to skip lunch before coming, especially if you want to start in style...

Time Out Eating and Drinking Guide

Olivelli has enough individuality and charm to knock the socks off most of its rivals. It has the atmosphere of a traditional trattoria yet it's the food that's really authentic.

ItaliaUK

London’s stylish Italian eateries include Olivelli with its unique hallmarks: handmade fresh pasta and quality produce sourced from Sicily and nearby markets. You'll also get one of the best pizzas in the capital.

Give yourself up to the sensual pleasures of a special feast at one of Olivelli’s warm-hearted restaurants. It doesn’t get much better.

London Visitors Magazine

We ate at Olivelli’s St Christopher’s Place venue the other evening. The vibe in here is great…The menu is regional Sicilian – robust, flavoursome recipes that pack a big serotonin punch. Puds to die for, too.

DINEonline

Olivelli is serious about what it does. It has edged itself cleverly into a proper local Italian restaurant, offering something a little different.

Café Culture Magazine

London’s second Caffè Paradiso (in Bloomsbury) is on two floors with typical treats including authentic Sicilian savouries…and mouth-watering patisserie.
