L'Ulivo Charing Cross is an Italian restaurant at 23 Villiers Street, moments from Charing Cross and Embankment stations. The relaxed dining room, broad menu and long daily opening hours make it convenient for lunch, dinner, weekend visits and meals before an evening in the West End.
Antipasti introduces familiar Italian ingredients through tomato and basil bruschetta, garlic bread, bresaola carpaccio and fresh salads. Mussels can be prepared with tomato and herbs, white wine and garlic or a creamy sauce, while tiger prawns, calamari and octopus bring seafood into the opening selection.
Pasta, baked pasta and risotto form a substantial part of the menu, supported by meat and fish main courses. Freshly prepared Roman pizza provides another route through the kitchen, with classic combinations and flexible toppings giving diners a straightforward choice for a casual meal or a dish to share.
Tiramisu and other Italian desserts offer a traditional conclusion, while wine, beer, cocktails, mocktails and digestifs extend the experience into the evening. Vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten free choices are available, and private dining and takeaway add useful flexibility for groups and local visitors.
Address: 23 Villiers Street, Charing Cross, London WC2H 6ND, United Kingdom
