We had exceptional sea food with rice at this place, after a concert we had in Guildford. The owner offered the food to us with great hospitality and generosity! We will to back surely. Thank you!

My parents are Sardinian , so I was brought on Italian food with a heavy balance to the Island. Went to this restaurant at the weekend. The food was really really good with excellent service and great attention to detail. Prices are very high, possibly a bit too high, but you do get to eat proper Italian/Sardinian food The restaurant is quite small and lacks atmosphere, so may not be a good choice if your trying to impress someone. Definitely worth a visit

Excellent food. Great service. Busy & noisy, not a lot of space. All food we (6 people) got served was very good.

We stumbled across Olivo on a Sunday night and everything was perfect, the food the ambience and the gorgeous staff. It was so good Margie had lunch there with Lauren the next day with similar outcome. And a Sardinian seafood restaurant is a rare treat indeed
