Been here twice now and enjoyed it both times. It always seems to be full as well which is a good sign. Service is consistently good and friendly and the food is well prepared. Not going to comment on individual dishes but it's all really yum! More

Recently took my girlfriend to L'olivo for her birthday. We had a great welcome by the manger. All the staff were very friendly and chatty. When we go out we like to have a bit of banter with the staff and they were more than happy to join in! The food was great with a nice choice of meat, fish... More

I tried booking 3 weeks ahead but they were fully booked, however they called me back to offer a cancellation. The staff were very attentive. The menu was very varied and the quality of the food excellent. The staff served my husband his dessert with lighted candle and let the restaurant in a rendition of "Happy birthday". A good time...

(Service can be a bit slow when busy although you'd be daft to go here for a rushed... More

While Passing through Wheathampstead on business, I was recommended The L'Olivo restaurant as Italian food 'without the pizza'. After a shaky start (I arrived before the 6.30pm opening time) I was given a table in a modern, well presented dining area. The staff gave the restaurant a relaxed but attentive atmosphere. This reflected the clear guidance and attention to detail... More

Went here with the better half for a special occasion meal. They had put confetti 'sprinkles' on our table which was a nice touch. The menu is varied enough to easily be able to find something to eat, but if you are after a pizza/pasta joint go elsewhere. As well as the perhaps 10-12 choices for starters and mains there... More
