Me and my partner went to L'Olive Verdi for the first Time today. We had both heard great things about the place and as a birthday lunch, we thought it's the perfect time to go.

Nothing short of amazing, from starter to desert. I love a rare/blue steak, but find very little places can offer that way of cooking outside big steakhouses, but my word, by far the nicest blue fillet steaks I have had. It was cooked to perfection, so much so the price just didn't seem right (under £17) when most places charge £20+ to cook it in the way they like.

My partner had the calamari for starters, which again, cooked amazingly, none of this frozen out of a packet rubbish. Then followed by the chicken with peppercorn sauce (I forget the Italian name of it) lush! Everything was just so tasty, fresh and hot.

The service itself was amazing, super friendly, and really she couldn't have gone out of her way more.

Desert had to be done, even though by that point we're being greedy, it was worth the greed, the only downside, not having been able...

Went here to meet family and get a bite to eat, we ate from the happy hour menu which is incredible value for money and great if you have children with you. Staff were very attentive and friendly and there was a great atmosphere.

I had soup of the day for a starter, this was tomato and it was lovely. It was served with a slice of toasted bread (also lush) and a portion of butter.

The main was a pepperoni pizza for me, this was another great dish. I’d probably say it’s up there with the best pizza I’ve had. The dough was a great flavour and crispy, perfect amount of mozzarella on top too. My 11 year old didn’t finish his and this was boxed up for him so he could take it home.

We all got deserts which wasn’t on the happy hour menu but these were also fantastic. I had the profiteroles and they were unreal, I stopped just shy of licking the plate.

Definitely a place...
