Ristorante Olivelli 61 The Cut, London SE1 8LL

"Down to earth, authentic, family run Italian restaurant. Food is heavenly delicious but unpretentious whilst waiters and waitresses are all friendly and accommodating."

"Food was ok, price was high, service was good and fast. Sadly, the floor manager discriminated against us and told us (2 people) no tables were available inside. We weren't offered a later table until we requested it. In the end, we happily sat outside - although we again had to ask rather than have it offered. After 10 minutes we heard a party of 4 (wealthy looking adults) outside the restaurant decide to "see if this place has any tables". They were immediately given a table inside. Another couple went in shortly after and although rejected, did say they'd been offered a table 30 minutes earlier than we had. Felt very disappointing and condescended. I couldn't work out if the reason we were treated differently was age, class, race, but whatever it was, we had been judged upon entry as customers not worth their time. Sadly a one star and no chance of returning because of this and this alone. A shame because we live less than 100 metres away and it could have been a great regular spot."

"An authentic Italian restaurant serving the most delicious food. Everything we had was on point as was the service! We'll definitely back again! :)"

"Quickly becoming a favourite. Food and service are absolutely faultless; the restaurant straddles the line between 'fine dining' and 'family-run' very nicely. We are always made to feel welcome and appreciated. The house wine is strongly recommended, as is the tiramisu - which might be the best I've ever tasted. Full marks!"

"Had a family meal booked here. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Food was amazing and really tasty and fresh. The restaurant is very intimate and was a relaxed atmosphere. Reasonably priced especially with it being in London. Would definitely recommend to others to go."
