We visited last night for the first time after a glowing recommendation from a family friend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Started with the antipasto to share. Then we both had the spaghetti carbonara each and both enjoyed it.The staff so friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere great.

Went to The Olive yesterday for a meal. I had the Pollo Vesuvio and my friend had the Margarita pizza. We were both very happy with our dishes and the service. Nice atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. Will definitely go again in the future.

I love this place and it's my go to since I moved to Skegness. I booked the Christmas works do here, they didn't expect it to be as good as it is, apparently it's changed a lot since Antonio took over.I don't even order my food now, I just go in and say cook me something which I'm sures annoys them sometimes) but I've always been very picky with food, which they know, however whatever I get is always amazing.My Steak has to be blue and my veg cooked al dente (in garlic) - picky eater

Update: We still really can't fault this lovely little restaurant. The service was excellent, the food was really tasty and fresh. Not over-seasoned or over-sweet. The atmosphere was welcoming and prices were very reasonable. Just been back for my birthday and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended
