If you've read my reviews you would know how much I love Obsession at South Bank...well Otello's is another fave. Great Italian food and excellent service. We don't go there often enough but the few times we have eaten there we are treated like regulars and feel like locals. This place reminds me a little of a typical Italian Cafe... More

Very disappointing as Otello used to be a staple. Now the service is poor and out of 4 meals the two Risottos were so salty we should have sent them back and the pizza was bland. Also Quite expensive for poor quality food. The only shining light is the Tiramasu. More

I've been here several times now and have plans to go back again next week. I loved my meals and the whole experience of dining at Otello on Oxford. The staff are attentive and courteous, the coffee fantastic and the meals are a pleasure to eat. My favourites are the genuine, Italian desserts. If you've ever been to Italy and... More

We tend to have breakfast here more than dinner. The breakfast is good but not amazing. The dinners are great. Proper Italian. Not as good as what you would get in Naples but close. More

You get what you pay for and this eatery has been in Oxford St for a long time. Food is usually quite good and we have always happy with the pizzas. Service also usually good. Not sure how they would go if it got really busy but we have no complaints. More

All eight of us had a great time. All our food from pastas to our meat dishes were perfect. Some of us had travelled to Italy and we assure you that at Otello you will experience the true authentic Italian flavours. Alex one of us who just arrived from Italy in front of his dish `Spaghetti alle vongole` said: I... More

Dined here mid week. Glad I made the "last minute" decision to eat here. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable & the food was magnificent! Was too full for dessert, but I was very tempted! The menu provides a lot of choices, including pizzas if you must! I would thoroughly recommend to all to give it a try! I was... More
