L'ulivo, Villiers Street

This was my second time visiting this lovely restaurant which is situated close to charring cross station. I was not disappointed. The food is modern Mediterranean and delicious. The service was quick and the staff were attentive and delightful. I highly recommend booking in advance, especially if you’re planning on eating pre-theatre, as we were seated at 5:30pm and by 6pm the restaurant was very busy. Overall I really enjoyed eating at this restaurant.

Delicious food + very quickly got drinks and food after order. Staff very nice but had to ask for bill a few times.

Excellent meal. The pre-theatre menu was very good but was not offered and I had to ask for it.

Food always delicious. Good location for theatre visits. Tables close together so it is pretty noisy when busy. We booked a table for the busy time of 6pm, which was wise.

Pizza not good but a gesture was made. In addition the service was too fast, no time to enjoy.

Good quality food. Only weakness is, as always, that the staff are charming but never see you. You have to stand and wave to get their attention. Otherwise, good.

Service was to quick starter and main course done in 20 minutes

Good food and service but how to Pay when card machines don’t work??

Love this venue well situated and good value for money . Lovely staff x

Great food and wine. Service was excellent. Will certainly return

Fantastic food atmospheres service prompt and professional at all times great to see that no one in the restaurant was sitting at the table suing their mobile phones recommend and will deffo return well done

Main course awful, hard overcooked tiny bits of calves liver, completely overrun with a very sweet sauce, I ate mine but my friend left here's. They did take her main off the bill, but they should not serve such awful stuff.

Busy yet relax restaurant, cocktails were lovely food was delicious and for inner London very reasonably priced, will be returning

Highly recommend this restaurant. It serves lovely food, great location.

I love the food at L'ulivo, but the service was slow and I had just taken the last mouthful of my meal and was still chewing and the waitress was asking to take my plate away. It would have been nice to have not felt so rushed after waiting so long for our lunch. It did not make us want to stay for dessert!

Staff very kind and friendly and great Italian food as well. They helped us with a birthday cake and I really appreciate it. Thanks so much! Highly recommended!

First time visit and pleasantly surprised. Starters excellent. Pizza fell just slightly short seasoning wise.

The food was good and the service quick, just what you need for a pre theatre meal. The staff were attentive and the setting and location was good.

Very serviceable as a Pre theatre venue - crowded and noisy but what do you expect? The pasta was nice, the prices competitive- the green salad lacked all character.

Great italian food with excellent quick service. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food very good . Perfect before going to a theatre performance. Liked it
