    My wife and I met a friend here for lunch, the whole experience was lovely, the food was delicious and being able to watch the sea as you have dinner was amazing. Service was great. And at the end of a lovely time the bill was great for the lovely meal we had. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a different and lovely place to sit and have some lovely food and watch the sea and waves.

    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.

    Very good location, superb staff, food was served promptly and was tasty. There was misunderstanding on ordering one meal but when asked, the staff rectified the issue within minutes. We would definitely recommend.
