Decent Italian arrives in the Lane

[dulwichita lineman]

At last a decent Italian restaurant has arrived in the Lane! Olivellis is not just pizza/pasta on a plate but fine dining at reasonable rates. Great portions(it was opening night!.)Cheap 2 course menu until 7 ideal for pre-cinema treat!

I had a look at the menu, and the "carne" section (veal medallions in cream & mushroom sauce, steak and chips, chicken in tomato sauce, etc) seemed totally uninspiring - outdated even. And a restaurant selling ?12 pizzas seems redundant when Franco Manca do excellent pizzas for under ?7.

I know I shouldn't criticise a place without eating there, but come on... use some imagination. Cook something I've not eaten a hundred times before.

Strange but having walked passed last night, their second night they were VERY busy...

... whilst for the first time since they opened. Franco Manca had lots of free tables and no one queuing.

Tis fickle nature of the ED punters Fox

FM is so last whatever, and who'd pay ?7 for cheese-on-toast when you can pay ?12 ?

Get down there I say, before tables become easily available
