Olivelli Waterloo has welcomed diners to The Cut since 2000, placing regional Italian cooking between Waterloo station and the South Bank. The Old Vic and Young Vic theatres are close neighbours, so the restaurant is particularly convenient for meals before or after a performance. Its lively dining room also suits a relaxed lunch, an early evening meal or a gathering that benefits from a central location and an informal atmosphere.

The menu draws strongly on Sicily, combining familiar Italian favourites with regional recipes and elements of traditional street food. Pasta is freshly prepared in the restaurants, while pizza dough follows the group’s own original recipe. Antipasti, risotto, seafood, meat dishes and desserts broaden the choice, with ingredients such as aubergine, tomato, olives, capers, citrus, chilli and Sicilian cheese giving many plates their distinctive character.

Olivelli states that it uses fresh ingredients and works with local suppliers for sustainably sourced fish and meat. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are marked across the menus, helping mixed groups find suitable options, although the kitchen advises that flour and other allergens are handled on site. A carefully selected wine list accompanies the food, with Italian bottles providing natural matches for pasta, fish and richer regional dishes.

The Waterloo restaurant currently opens every day from midday until evening, with pavement seating available when conditions allow. Reservations are accepted, larger groups can contact the restaurant directly, and delivery offers another way to order from the same kitchen. The full menu below shows the latest antipasti, pasta, pizza, main courses, desserts, drinks and prices at this location.
