Very disappointing Where to start! Impressed upon arrival as warm Friday evening & lovely outdoor eating area. Greeted warmly and shown to our table but it went downhill from there. Restaurant was busy and we were shown our table on the 2nd floor. Menus provided and after a while we had to ask for drinks / wine menu, this theme carried on throughout the evening. Constantly having to attract the staff attention as they spent quite a lot of time chatting together rather than keep an eye on diners. Ordered mixed starters, have to say the calamari & olives were good, but the garlic bread was almost translucent and quite soggy. We ordered a mix of mains, mine being tortellini and tbh honest it was not only luke warm it had the texture of just being blasted in the microwave so like a congealed mess, The duck was supposed to be served with veg but literally a wilted leaf under the duck and a few new potatoes. The sauce with cherries made the dish edible. We ordered post dinner drinks coffees and whilst a couple of them came together we had to ask 3 times for the others which arrived some 20 mins later when we had finished ours. Didn’t complain at the time as we had been invited by family so didn’t want to spoil the evening. Very very disappointing and would not recommend after this experience but maybe if not so busy we might have a better experience but lots of lovely restaurants to try in Guildford so will give them a go.

Dinner at Olivo Great experience with family and friends. The food was amazing with excellent service from Mattia. Would definitely recommend for great Italian cuisine.

Great night out! Our waiter Mattia made our experience at Olivo’s very special. Our young son said he is the nicest, kindest and funniest waiter he has ever had. The food was incredible and we would highly recommend Olivo’s. Grazie mille Mattia!

Oh, well… The blonde woman that I assume is the host totally ruined my experience. She was rude in her manner, short with us and made it very difficult for us to pay separately for the meal we had. She looked me up and down and kept whispering some comments to the male that was standing next to her. Front of house is clearly not for her as the birthday experience we had with the waiter upstairs was totally disregarded after how we were treated by her!

Amazing food and service Everytime we come here the food is amazing. I has some risotto with seefood while my wife has tried the lovely burada in tomato souce. Bogdan, the waiter, took amazing care of us.

Bogdan Bogdan was very friendly and gave great service. The food was lovely and the atmosphere is great. Lovely lay out and decoration

Amazing place in Guildford We had a lovely experience at Olivio with Bogdan being our waiter and doing an exceptional job in delivering an outstanding service. The food was amazing

Nice lunch Bogdan was our server and was very helpful and made it a pleasant experience. The food was also very nice and came out in good time.

Disappointing Overall poor. Got seated to a nice table by a window overlooking the church - served water and got settled, to then be asked to move because 'the manager said I have to'. Not the waiters fault, but not a great start. The table we were moved to was cold and next to the waiter station. Peach Bellini was nice but not a peach Bellini at all, some red fruit puree with 'fizz' served in a large wine glass with ice. We ordered scallops and octopus to start - both came with very gloopy, starchy purées and the seafood didn't taste fresh. Then we had the lobster linguine, despite it clearly saying for two, the waitress seemed confused we weren't ordering another main - odd. Main dish was fine, sauce was nice however the lobster was overcooked. Overall very disappointing, especially considering the bill totalled £115+. For the quality of food and service we received, we felt it was poor value for money. We were very much looking forward to trying here after seeing the great reviews but left very confused as to how this place receives such great ratings. Would recommend Positano instead, certainly won't be returning here.

Bogdan is fabulous! Great food, great drinks, great service. Really enjoyable evening thanks to the restaurant’s cozy and vibrant atmosphere. Thank you Bogdan!

Lamb chops served by mattia Mattia was extremely helpful, warm and very hospitalable. Would come back again. I had the lamb chops which tasted great

Fabulous Perfect service, superb dinner as recommended by the waiter- beef filet in a red wine reduction fabulous. House wine was excellent too!
