Enjoyed coming back again to L'ulivo (Recently I've seen two other L'ulivos nearby but have only ever been to the Villiers Street restaurant). Food and service excellent and staff very helpful and friendly. The calamari in the seafood pasta was exceptionally good - so tender. L'ulivos is now one of the restaurants that I like taking visitors to.

Not my first visit. I really like this restaurant and it is in a handy position for my theatre trips. The reason I marked the food down was that I found it too salty. My meal had capers in so that might be why. Portion sizes are good and I particularly liked the size of the vegetable portions. Many restaurants are mean with vegetables which are the cheapest part of the meal for them to buy. They must make a fortune on them!

The service is always amazing. Staff work very hard and are very pleasant. My only grumble on this Vicky was the bruschetta was very dry and the tomatoes were not ripe. The rest of our meal was, as always, tasty and plentiful.

Second time of visiting here whilst taking in a show at the nearby Adelphi. Food absolutely gorgeous (so far we have tried the tortellini with gorgonzola sauce, margherita pizza, chicken/leek risotto and meat lasagne), atmosphere great and service spot on - ideal for a relaxing evening, or for getting to your show on time! The noise level is not quiet, it's a lovely bubbly atmosphere. Not a problem for us, but something to consider depending on your occasion. We'll seek out this restaurant on future visits to London.

I had requested a quiet table away from the middle of the restaurant - and that's just what we got. The food was great, the service good - just a small delay when waiting for our bill - and we wouldn't hesitate to return and recommend.

Even though we did not order a starter, & the restaurant was quite busy, the main course was served very quickly. Very nice waitress. Very tasty food. There was some food left over which I requested to be boxed up & was saved for when we returned after a visit to the theatre. Impressed.
