Harden's survey result
Summary
Whether you choose pizza, pasta or a main dish, this all-rounder in Sardinian Mauro Sanna’s smart Belgravia group “never disappoints”. Following a fire, it has moved a few doors to the premises formerly occupied by stablemate Olivocarne (RIP). A major attraction is the “wine list to delight lovers of off-beat, small producer wines”.
Summary
“Great thin-crust pizzas” and other “simple but delicious” staples get a good reception at this Belgravia Italian from Sardinian Mauro Sanna’s classy stable. It “does what it does very well”: namely “good honest, earthy food” made with “fresh ingredients”. The wine list majors on interesting bottles and magnums from Sardinia.
Summary
This long-standing Belgravia Sardinian keeps its many regulars happy with some of the “best pizzas in London”, and other dishes made with “fantastic, simple, fresh ingredients”. There’s also an interesting selection of Sardinian wines, including magnums. Top Tip: “always have the special of the day. They’re delicious”.
Summary
“Loud without being unpleasant”, this “cheerful and buzzy” Sardinian has been a Belgravia stalwart for yonks – “my son spent his formative years coming back to this place because of the huge and excellent pizzas” (and the repertoire also includes pasta and salads). Older regulars are more enamoured of the “interesting Italian/Sardinian wine list”.

Oliveto Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Settling in to the new location, but it is an awkward space. Post Covid, the wine list is a bit less thrillingly stocked with interesting Italian, Sardinian, and Sicilian wines."
"It’s fine, and nice to be outside on the pavement on a sunny day. But for prices the food et al is rather dull Italian. Perhaps more a place for tourists given the clientele I saw"
"The pizza ovens moved a couple doors up the street to the old Olivocarne location; the upscale crowd came too; the amiance (child-friendly) is a bit more staid with tablecloths (!) and a several room layout. "
