Visit this restaurant in a fairly regular basis. It’s got great food and always good service. The pizza is great and the goats cheese salad is also a winner. They do a great aperol spritz as well.
The atmosphere is lovely with dimmed lighting. Service is excellent too, our waitress was very competent. The food is also delicious, I had the Polpette Amatriciana with pasta instead of bread which was crazy good!
LOVED it!! Great with gluten free and dairy free/vegan needs whilst feeling very authentic. Food was delicious!
We went to this restaurant pretty much by accident, and when we entered we were impressed by the striking decor and friendly service.
The wine they serve is delicious but the real show-stopper is their gnocchi hazelnut dish, the flavours were absolutely divine.
I had insalatta pantelleria - a hearty and generous salad of chicken, also with excellent flavours, servings are generous, and even the plates are beautiful.
Great ambience and playing nice music- 100% recommend.
On a personal recommendation, we took our friend to Olivelli's for their special birthday. We were not disappointed! Everything was wonderful and our friend was delighted.
We all had such a great experience that we booked our Christmas meal straightaway!
Beautiful pizza after work! Very very quick service (although very quiet time of day). Definitely will return if work brings me this way again. Many thanks
I love Olivelli East Dulwich. They have a substantial vegetarian and a vegan menu. George the manager is lovely. I held my birthday party in the upstairs function room and had a brilliant time - we could play our own music - fabulous! :-)
Sometimes my partner and I pop in just for pudding as the desserts are ridiculously good. The service is always exceptional and the food divine. Tip - ask for the chilli oil with pizza - it's gorgeous.
Thanks Olivelli! 😀
Great food and friendly staff
I recommend for anyone, 100% authentic Italian food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a wonderful meal at Olivelli last night.Fab limoncello cocktail, not too sweet. Delicious starter platter and sea bass. Ans it has the best tiramisu anywhere!
Ended up here by mistake when the restaurant we wanted to try was full; however, very pleased to have ended up here!
Both our pizzas were fantastic - great base, tasty sauce and quality toppings. Starters were okay, but would suggest giving them a miss and going straight into the mains.
Woooow superb in every way!
The view into the restaurant is like a sunny magnet with Sicilian art on the walls and beautiful warm lighting lifting out fresh flowers set in authentic Sicilian vases. You feel as though your there and enjoying the real deal, without the pain of Gatwick.
The food is exceptional and the service matches it.
My wife and I went for the "specials" Tagliolini Granchio with Crab and prawns in brandy, it was absolutely georgus and topped off with the Tiramisu which is a must.
I'm reviewing again as I went here on Saturday. Olivellis is just as good as I remember. Different flower decorations around the front window (very nice 😊), the staff were as good as ever, always smiling, always happy to help. The food is definitely as good as I remember 😋!! Olivellis is a very reasonably priced restaurant for the quality and taste of their food, let alone the top quality of their staff...I will be back, thank you so much for an amazing evening 😊.
Olivelli is a nice restaurant with a decent selection of good tipical italian dishes. They use fresh italian produce, full of flavours. They have a few vegetarian dishes, but they could do with at least an extra main option. The service was quite quick and pleasant. The wine list was small but decent and reasonably priced. Food price on the other hand is on the high side and the 12.5% gratuity added to the bill, it's a bit hefty. We had 2 cocktail, one starter each, a starter size main, one large and a small glass of wine and one only espresso for £83. Nice, but over priced.
Prompt service with stupendous meals for the three of us, my wife was extremely impressed with the Lamb stew ( sorry cannot remember the correct menu title). We went to Olivelli, East Dulwich and were glad to have done. Maremma in Herne Hill was full up.
We had such a nice meal here last night! The waiter (he finished his shift during our meal so we didn't get to ask his name) was lovely, helped us with our order and, since they weren't too busy, even gave us an extra table to spread our food. We ordered the single veggie antipasti, the forestra pizza (which the waiter had requested came split on two plates for us since he knew we'd be sharing) and a side of truffle fries, fried courgette flowers and broccoli. We had been looking for a place to have a roast in and had been ignored everywhere in Lordship Lane, so we were both disappointed and starving when we arrived at Olivelli. Luckily, we were pleasently surprised and left feeling full and delighted. We loved the house wine too. We'll definitely return!
