Reviews of 'O Ver St. James - Italian Restaurant

H. t. G.

We are pleased with the quality of the food! But the service was kind of not friendly, not attentive! They also charged us for something we didn’t take which is not a nice thing to do! The other Over in Southwark was much much better!

H. E.

The staff were very friendly, and attentive. Our waitress was great - very personable and knowledgably. Most importantly the food was lovely. I tried the saltwater pizza which I really enjoyed, but I tried some of my Father’s pasta, which was the day’s special – it stood out – it was outstanding. Thank you to all the staff. I’ll be coming back

A. S.

Great experience! The Neapolitan pizza was just like the one i had in Napoli. The truffle pasta was amazing. The service was awesome. Five stars!

T. S.

Charming ambiance, friendly staff and amazing food. Will go back for sure!

L. R.

What a beautiful restaurant. We came across it by accident after the theatre. We had meatballs and desserts. Everything was tasty and perfectly cooked. Excellent service. The wine recommendation was perfect. Definitely go again.

S. F.

Had a very pleasant experience on a Saturday evening before the theatre. Burrata was lovely and the Neapolitan starters were very tasty. Pasta was pleasant, but we were a little disappointed there were no pizzas as apparently the pizza oven was out of action. Hopefully this is fixed soon for future diners! Price is what you'd expect for central London, 35 quid for a decent bottle wine and £18+ for mains - but I can't fault anything even at that cost! Definitely worth considering if you're in the mood for Italian.

Best Napolitan restaurant I went to in London. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Staff is super welcoming and answers all your questions, the quality of the food always exceed my expectations. Felt like a real Italian experience i will be back!

T. M.

Mediocre service, but not bad food. Like many places at the moment, service isn’t great. ‘O Ver is unfortunately no different.

C. R.

O’ver is the best Italian restaurant in London. I always go there to feel at home when I miss Italy. Staff is very friendly and professional. Food is incredibly tasty. Try out their tagliolino al tartufo if you go there…it’s just stunning!! Highly recommended

C. P.

Probably one of the best Italian restaurants in London. The atmosphere is great and the food is outstanding. Very friendly staff and great location.

g. p.

Loved it! The location is amazing and the staff is super nice. The pizza is one of the best in London and my friends loved the fish and pasta!

B. P.

Perfect place for a lunch. Super service very frendly stuff. Realy italian food.

A. T.

This beautiful restaurant has left the best impressions! The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. The staff and host truly cares about your experience, they know what they are talking about and make great recomendations. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in our mouths. From the starter to the dessert the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding (particularly recomend the Tuna Steak and Scallops). Menu has a variety of dishes from meat to fish and also vegetarian options available, very good selection of wine too. Highly recommend!

A. M.

Food was very good in quality (blue rare stake was phenomenal) and the staff is kind, but dont go here if you are hungry. Small portions and a bad value for money.

I. A.

The food is absolutely delicious. This is what I would call high-end comfort food. Staff is very helpful and the ambiance is fantastic.

S. R.

Nice staff. Lovely food. Slight mixup on my order but skilfully resolved by talented staff.

X. W.

Tried delivery only, nice pasta. The tuna tartar was so so. Pizza is pretty thick crust. Croquette and arancini decent.

M. T.

Amazing Italian food! Staff were so lovely and friendly. They carried out all the necessary safety measures and precautions to keep their clientele covid safe. I felt really comfortable the entire time I was there. Location is central and is positioned in a chic and cosy laneway.

M. M.

Great quality food, wine and service. Not cheap but will be back!

N. H.

Wish I could give an extra star. On a spontaneous trip to London, this was a fantastic little find. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was cosy and calm, and the staff were absolutely amazing! Incredible service. I can't recommend this place enough. The manager was lovely with my partner and I and we both had an exceptional night. Perfect!

O. L. M.

Good Italian with nice terrace. Edit 10/10/2020: The fusilli were excellent 👌🏻

S. L.

Very attentive and polite staff. Good atmosphere. The food was very flavorful, loved the varied bruschetta.

N. A.

really good, the ravioli was SO GOOD. pizza also. i like it.

T. V.

As an Italian this challenge the best Italian restaurant in London. The food is great,10/10 authentic Italian food, from Italy imported. Atmosphere is amazing, the place has great dynamic mix of romantic and modern design. The staff is friendly and they are extremely nice and knowledgeable. I will come back to the restaurant shortly because I can really feel in Italy again.

F. K.

Lovely restaurant. Came here for my birthday with my partner. Delicious food (pizza better than the pasta IMO), great manager, relaxed atmosphere. Best Italian in London I’d say!

A. D. P.

Had the monkfish pasta and loved it. Service was great, ambience was cool and the price is worth it.

K. N.

We had the special of the day (seafood pasta) and tortellini with ricotta and sweet potato. We also had calamari for starters. Absolutely incredible food, very filling and beautiful flavours. It’s a bit higher on the price range but worth the penny. Will definitely come back!

K. V.

Amazing food, very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere! 12/10

G.

As always, delicious. Today, gnocchi, truffle pizza, crispy cod, baby octopus, calamari, so tasty, staff super friendly and nice and welcoming, lovely peaceful environment, good wine, good prices, particularly given the quality of the food and the cooking, every time I come to London, I come here

V. G.

Best italian in central London in my experience so far. Food is simply delicious, the kind Valentina explained us how they focus on the genuine quality of the product and you can taste it. The seawater pizza dough was the best and the special pasta made me feel like i was back home in Italy. Highly recommended!

b. e.

Amazing pizza and pasta. I went there with my friends for dinner, the staff is friendly and helpful, the food tasty and done with great attention to the quality of the products. Great wine variety! I will soon go back, and try new dishes.

M. M.

So glad to have found authentic southern Italian food in one of central London’s finest locations! Great ambience and very attentive service too. This place is a rare find and will definitely see me coming back soon.

T. B.

Only place to eat a pizza in London - real authentic italian pizza

M. E.

Really nice restaurant and food was good - it’s definitely very nice but we felt for the price you pay it wasn’t mind-blowing!

A. B.

A friend of mine invited me there and i loved it. the parmigiana was amazing, the gnocchi delicious and the service was super attentive. Also the manager and all the staff were all super friendly. Will be back soon.

s. b.

As Italian, I have my few little gems to go to when craving some Italian food and O'ver is amongst them!!The menu is a perfect recreation of grandma's recipes with dishes such as parmigiana and meatballs that bring back to memory proper sundays lunches! Although the ambience is quite upscale (ST. JAMES), the staff is very welcoming and the GM Andrea is a proper host! Thanks for bringing Naples to London!

J. C.

Gorgeous food. Very overpriced wine

A. M.

Have now been to both the Borough location and this location and I can say that they are equally excellent. Each offers its own vibe but the staff at both were very friendly and the food top quality! Highly recommend

E. F.

Lovely food but unfortunately the meatballs could do with a little pasta to accompany them! The gnocchi was beautiful! Quite pricey but enjoyed the food and service was impeccable.

R. S.

Awesome Pizza, great pasta and very friendly service!

B. B.

A bit expencive but you get what you pay for. Tasty, fresh, hight quality food despite the a bit too small size for starters. Friendly and professional staff. Only negative point, for me, is the waiter didn't mention "bottled" when he offered us water.

M. P.

I loved it!! Best italian Restaurant!!

C. R.

If you are looking for delicious traditional italian food, to pair with a large selection of fine wines and refreshing drinks, this is the place to go to ! Best pizzas in London.

Amazing pizza, the best i have had in London and better by far than the famous ones.

(Translated) The curated beauty of a place in the center capable of bringing to mind all the genuineness and quality of Neapolitan cuisine. Excellent pizza, taken as an appetizer, but also the fish dishes lived up to our expectations. Don't miss the tiramisu. Good value for money, so much so that we will definitely be back. (Original) La bellezza curata di un posto in pieno centro capace di far tornare alla mente tutta la genuinità e la qualità della cucina napoletana. Ottima la pizza, presa come antipasto, ma anche i piatti di pesce sono stati all’altezza delle nostre aspettative. Da non perdere il tiramisù. Buono il rapporto qualità prezzo, tanto che ci torneremo sicuramente.

(Translated) Place, its workers and good food, but the price is higher than its competitors (Original) مكان وعماله واكل طيب لكن السعر أعلى من منافسيه

(Translated) I went to dinner at this restaurant last week with friends. The central location (St. James) is modern and elegant, suitable for different types of occasions. The service, all Italian, is young, attentive and professional. The menu offers traditional Italian dishes, all excellent from pizza, to Parmesan (a must try), and also excellent tiramisu. One of the very few Italian restaurants in London to eat the REAL Italian cuisine. Good value for money. (Original) Sono stata a cena in questo ristorante la settimana scorsa con amici. La location in posizione centrale (St. James) si presenta moderna ed elegante, adatta a diversi tipi di occasioni. Il servizio, tutto italiano, è giovane, attento e professionale. Il menù propone piatti della tradizione italiana, tutti ottimi dalla pizza, alla parmigiana (assolutamente da provare), ottimo anche il tiramisù. Uno dei pochissimi ristoranti Italiani a Londra in cui mangiare la VERA cucina italiana. Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.

(Translated) Since it opened I have already gone 3 times! A hands down the best traditional Neapolitan cuisine in London! gorgeous place, super finished! impeccable service!

(Translated) O 'VER is a philosophy. A regular customer who finds real Neapolitan cuisine and pizza on business trips. I ate spaghetti with clams with Gragnano PGI pasta that went before a king, far superior to restaurants in Naples, which makes us understand the goodness of the raw materials and the skill of the chef. The octopus is also delicious. Dulcis in fundo, could not miss the pizza, exceptional marinara. Congratulations to all the O'ver staff. Highly recommended (Original) O' VER è una filosofia. Cliente abituale che nei viaggi di lavoro trova la vera cucina e pizza napoletana. Ho mangiato uno spaghetto a vongole con pasta di Gragnano Igp che andava davanti ad un re, di gran lunga superiore a ristoranti di Napoli, il che fa capire la bontà delle materie prime e l'abilità dello chef. Squisito anche il polipo. Dulcis in fundo, non poteva mancare la pizza, marinara Eccezionale. Complimenti a tutto lo staff di O'ver. Consigliatissimo
