Specialties: Italian and Sicilian food, Pizza and Pasta, Fish and Meat dishes. Fantastic Deserts. Recommended by Time Out and The Culinary Guide for an authentic taste of Italian and Sicilian cuisine. Close to Oxford Street, Selfridges, Wigmore Hall, Bond Street. Established in 1934. The Olivelli name has its roots in the distinctive Sicilian food culture.
Rita and Enrico Olivelli opened their Bloomsbury restaurant in the ’30s – a home-from-home for students at nearby drama school RADA as well as famous London theatre actors of the day. Legendary performers such as Mae West and Bob Hope also dropped by whenever they were in town.
Sicilian-born brothers Giovanni and Salvatore Salamone bought the restaurant in 1993 – the first of their select chain across the capital which includes Mayfair and Waterloo venues and two cafés, Caffè Paradiso, in Bloomsbury and Tower Bridge.
Olivelli is defined by its buzzy, contemporary personality but the Salamones have preserved two key ingredients from the past: a big-hearted welcome and fair-priced, quality food which includes homemade pasta and pizza. Only the freshest ingredients and sustainably-sourced fish and meat from local suppliers are used in the authentic regional Italian and Sicilian dishes.
