Top quality food and first class service. Wine was a bit pricy but would recommend it to anyone.

We had a great meal at Oliveto on Saturday night. Even though it was dark outside, we had a lovely table next to the picture windows which gives a great view across the bay and along the promonade. My wife had the prawn cocktail, biggest prawns I’ve seen for some time and my mackeral pate was excellent also. Our main meals were equally excellent, salmon Pennette and chicken boscaiola and decent portions too. To be honest you wouldn’t want more. Price wise I’d say Oliveto is very good value and exceeded my expectations. All of the staff members were very plesent, taking the time to chat with us even though they were very busy and even provided a surprise birthday dessert for my wife. We’d definitely book here again when next in Weymouth.

Friendly, professional, welcome and taken direct to table while Maitre de hung coats on hangers. Delightful choice of food and wine. Enjoyable ambience and most enjoyable banter from staff. This is a regular rendezvous, when wishing to impress guest, be they relatives, friends or business associates.

Welcoming atmosphere, good table by a window. Took our coats and hung them up for us. Waited on by Alexandria who was attentive and considerate. The menu contained a good choice and variety of meals. The food was delicious and not a long wait to be served. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would go again.
