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

Overpriced and Disappointing Experience Our visit to this restaurant was deeply underwhelming. The Ragu Ravioli pasta was shockingly small—starter-sized—but priced at £26. For such a high price, I expected a proper main course, especially since my partner’s pizza, which cost £21, was clearly a full portion. At £26, a simple beef ragu dish should at least satisfy as a main. To make matters worse, the side salad we ordered arrived incorrectly and had to be replaced. When the correct salad finally came, it was incredibly disappointing: basic supermarket leaves, raw walnut halves, raw figs, a sprinkle of cheese, and hardly any dressing—all for a staggering £14. Charging £14 for such a plain, undressed side salad is simply outrageous. With just two drinks each, no starters, and no desserts, our bill came to a jaw-dropping £150 for two people. The ambience and service did little to justify the cost—both were entirely average. When the waitress checked on our meal and I mentioned that it was mediocre, she simply smiled and continued clearing the table, which added to the frustration. This restaurant sets high expectations but utterly fails to deliver. Save yourself the disappointment—and the money—and dine elsewhere.

Lovely restaurant, the food was very good and we enjoyed our chosen dishes. I had to ask to order wine as they were intent on preparing the tables rather than service the present customers! But once they got that sorted they were polite and attentive. Would definitely return.

If you don’t have children don’t book early we went at 6 and be aware this is not the venue for a nice relaxed evening as they have a seemingly strict 1.30hr turn around. We asked to see the dessert menu to be told we had 10mins left we asked for the bill and left it was a shame.

Quick pre theatre dinner. Had the burrata starter and gnocchi. Very tasty. Friendly service and easy to find. Smallish portions and quite a steep price, but pleasant surroundings.

Explained to the waiter that I was pregnant and that food needed to be well cooked. I ordered the nduja croquettes. I bit into one that was piping hot on the outside but stone cold in the middle where the meat was. I told the waiter who kindly replaced them but now I am very concerned of the risk of listeria or toxoplasmosis from inadequately cooked meat

This was our second visit and it did not disappoint again. Great authentic food, lovely service and ambiance and convenient for pre-dinner dining. Will definitely be returning again and again.

Lovely small restaurant with an excellent menu. Staff are really knowledgeable & obliging. There was a wide choice of starters & then the 3 of us chose different pizzas from a very wide selection. Delicious & definitely a speciality here! Looking forward to coming back when in this location again. Excellent choice if visiting a local theatre as it’s just one minute away!
