The Little Olive — Restaurant in Wales

Absolutely stellar. The food is incredible, and as someone who is gluten-free, they can do any of their pasta dishes gluten-free which is a rarity. And they taste so good! They do a dish with courgettes that is just to die for; I have no idea what they do to those little buggers but they taste so damn good, if I could only eat one dish every day for the rest of my life, it would be that. Wine is a little pricey, but it’s a nice restaurant, so that is kind of to be expected, and as someone who chooses wines based on the ABV and the picture on the bottle, I really have no right to speak on the topic anyway. The staff are all lovely, and happy to accommodate you if you have any weird little requests (like one time I booked a table last minute, and was going for a meal with a friend who was quite upset about something, so I asked if they could put us in a table a bit tucked away so she could blub a bit without too many eyes on her, and they sorted that out no questions asked). It can get a bit noisy if it’s kind of peak hours and the place is full of chatty patrons, so if you’re noise sensitive, I would pick a time when it’s less busy. There is a ground-floor disabled accessible toilet, but you do need to be able to get up a step or two at the front of the restaurant to get in, so it’s not wheelchair accessible, though as someone on crutches I’m able to get in without issue, and it’s possible that if you asked in advance there may be a way in through the back. It did take me a couple of visits to realise there was an alternative to the bathroom upstairs though 😂 Overall, I’d say it’s probably the nicest restaurant in Barry, and the prices for food are extremely reasonable for the quality. Definitely give it a go, and maybe try the courgette pasta thingy, it’s divine! (And if you skip the Parmesan, it’s...

We came here for a meal here last night after a recommendation from a friend. The atmosphere was great, friendly team running the place, the only thing I would mention is that service could have been better, we had about 4 empty glasses and a jug at the end of the table for most of the sitting which made it a bit crowded/cramped at my end of the table as I moved them all there to make it easier for them to be collected. We ordered more drinks half way through the meal & they were still left there when the new ones were delivered. My calamari was quite chewy & the portion was small but the side salad that came with it filled the gap. The garlic mushrooms were ok, a bit juicy for my partners liking. The mains were great, decent portions and very tasty indeed. I Would definitely recommend coming here for the...

Came for dinner for two on Friday night, the booking process on the phone was very simple with a very helpful member of staff. We were greeted and shown to our very nice table, the restaurant is very well decorated with a lovely relaxing atmosphere too. We had the calzone, the hake special with seasonal veg, whitebait and fries to share, some wine, and a tiramisu for dessert. The food was fantastic and we were very happy with the prices too, for the portion and quality. I had a very well made espresso martini, again at a very reasonable price point. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit! We will definitely be calling in again! Would...
