Reviews - Olivello

#12 - Vegetarian - Middlesbrough, Italian, Pasta

Reviews summary

Olivellos offers a mixed experience, with some highlights and some disappointments. The cocktails are nice but heavy on ice, dishes like pizza and parmo are solid but overly salty, while the pasta was hard. Service is friendly but slow, with errors in orders. The atmosphere is pleasant, though sometimes noisy. The staff, particularly Paolo, stands out for their excellent service. Options for gluten-free dining are extensive, with delicious cocktails. Overall, Olivellos provides a good Italian dining experience, with room for improvement in areas like food consistency and speed of service.

Was Anonym at Olivello a mag?

eating was good, a typical italian, but I don't mean punishing. the food came so fast was hot. only on the bottom it was so loud that we couldn't talk to each other, but that's not the restaurant mistake, it's the table of 12 that walk around the attention. View all feedback.

What Danielle Lorimer dislikes about Olivello:

A quick pop in for a cocktail. We choose the 2 for £13 and went with a Cherry on Top whilst it was very lovely, there was far too much ice!! Given that it was a tall drink, two sips and the cocktails were gone very quickly. Ease up on the ice, Olivellos View all feedback.

Love this place we come at least once a month. Staff really nice and polite . Food beautiful. Steak cooked to perfection every time

Lovely setting, really good food and nice chips! Staff were very kind in letting two old friends have a long catch-up and be there for 2 1/2 hours without chasing us out

We had a wonderful dining experience tonight, the staff made us feel welcomed and were very accommodating. My daughter, who is Gluten Free, was very happy with her pizza with extra toppings. We all loved our meals, with clean plates all around. The service was flawless from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

I visited this restaurant for the first time with a friend who is a regular customer. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Although there was a small issue with my friend's pasta being a bit dry, our server Paolo was incredible. He had the chef prepare a fresh batch that was perfect. Paolo was very kind and a fantastic host. The cocktail options were great and tasted delicious. I will definitely be returning soon.

The dining experience and ambiance are fantastic. The cocktails are a must-try, and the staff is incredibly welcoming.

Had a brilliant night celebrating a family members birthday. The food and service was first class. Would like to thank all the staff you were amazing thank you for a fabulous evening. Would highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Came here with a friend. We had late lunch and a cheeky cocktail. I had a vegetarian parmo never tried the vegetarian version but was very pleased with it and my friend had Lasagne which she gave me a taste of, that was delicious too. We had some sort of sliced roasted orange drink garnish in the cocktail not sure if suppose to eat that but it was yummy! So I ate my friends too! Great service and delicious food!
