Olivello

Head down Linthorpe Road and you'll find yourself in the kind of Italian restaurant that actually feels like someone who knows what they're doing is running the show. The kitchen respects tradition but isn't precious about it—you're getting honest food that lands because the fundamentals are right. Whether you're after a midweek dinner or something more special, there's a real neighbourhood feel here, the sort of place where regulars clearly mean something. With over 1,100 reviews sitting at 4.5 stars, people keep coming back because the pasta's worth the trip and the wine list won't leave you scratching your head.
