Experience the flavours of Italy and Sardinia in the heart of London
At Olivo Restaurants, we take pride in our rich history and commitment to providing exceptional dining experiences. Our journey began in November 1990 when Mauro Sanna opened the first Olivo restaurant, specializing in traditional Italian and Sardinian cuisine. The success of the restaurant led to the expansion of our family, with the arrival of Oliveto in 1995, Olivomare in 2007, and Olivocarne in 2012.
Our Restaurants
Each of our three restaurants has its own unique character and cuisine. Oliveto offers informal, authentic Italian and Sardinian fare, including reputedly London's best pizzas. Olivomare specializes in Sardinian fish dishes and boasts an award-winning interior. Olivocarne, unfortunately, suffered devastating damages caused by a fire in 2023, and we relocated Oliveto to its site.
Deli + Wine Shop
Our prestigious delicatessen and wine shop, Olivino, is a gem in the heart of Belgravia. We offer a wide selection of fine quality Italian and Sardinian wines, as well as specially imported produce from Sardinia. Our shelves are stocked with freshly made sauces, pasta, salads, sandwiches made to order, and coffee. You can find a vast array of cured meats, cured fish, and cheeses, including fresh fish and shellfish from Olivomare.
Services
At Olivino, we provide various special orders, such as food and wine hampers, and a 10% discount on our excellent range of wines when bought by the case. We also offer local deliveries free of charge with a minimum order of 100. Our chefs can clean and fillet any fish if requested, and we can accommodate special orders for events and gatherings.
Our Commitment
Mauro and his long-standing team of chefs, headed by Andrea Orru, are dedicated to providing exceptional service and warm Sardinian hospitality in the heart of London. We look forward to welcoming you to savour the tastes and warm atmosphere of our restaurants.
