OUR PHILOSOPHY

‘O ver comes from the Neapolitan dialect to mean: “Truth”

We do our best to reflect this with the authentic, delicious and healthy food we freshly prepare every day.

A Real Italian menu with a strong Neapolitan soul.

‘O ver uses the unique ingredient of Pure Sea Water, which is extracted from the purest areas of the Mediterranean.

Less sodium and more minerals makes the food lighter and easy to digest.

Pizzas, breads and all the seafood dishes are made with Pure Sea Water.

We directly buy our ingredients from small independent Italian producers and we only use the best local suppliers.

We only serve Authentic Neapolitan Wood fired pizza, pasta from Gragnano, fresh fish & British meats.

Every single dish is handmade with love and patience by our chefs, in full respect of the tradition.

Simple recipes, only the best ingredients and a lot of Passion, less is

                                                      Having booked a table, we arrived to a very muddled reception. Neither of the staff seemed able to recognise the booking, even though it was clearly on the screen. They tried to seat us next to the grill, and after we made a fuss, we got a decent quiet table. Not a good start. One of the managers, Carolina, took charge, apologised and subsequently treated us very charmingly. The pizzas were superb.

                                                      Lovely food and service. However the restaurant was freezing cold with seemingly no heating.
