What David McDevitt likes about Olio:
Always a pleasure to eat there. Haven't been for a long time but food is top quality as are the staff. Celebrated my wife's birthday and couldn't be made to feel more welcome View all feedback. What Lyn Cook doesn't like about Olio:
We had to wait for an hour and a half for our food to arrive, which is completely unacceptable. However, when the food did finally come, it was delicious. Unfortunately, there was no apology for the long wait. View all feedback.

Olio Restaurant in Chelmsford offers authentic Italian dishes with generous portions. While some diners experienced long waits and unapologetic service issues, the food received high praise for deliciousness. Specials like Grouper and wild boar tortellini were standouts, as were the attentive staff. With friendly service and top-notch dishes like muscles in white wine sauce, Olio ranks among the top five restaurants in Chelmsford for many visitors. While some may find the wine list overpriced or certain dishes heavy, overall, Olio offers a great dining experience for families and couples alike. Don't miss the opportunity to try this gem in Chelmsford.
