Aglio e Olio Menu

Aglio e Olio is a cosy Italian restaurant at 194 Fulham Road in Chelsea. Its approach is deliberately simple, concentrating on familiar Italian cooking, fresh ingredients and an easygoing dining room. The menu suits a quick plate of pasta as readily as a longer lunch or dinner built from antipasti, a main course and dessert.

Antipasti include tomato bruschetta, beef carpaccio with rocket and Parmesan, grilled aubergine with goat cheese, and buffalo mozzarella with tomatoes and basil. Fresh sardines, mussels with ginger and coriander, burrata with Parma ham, and crab with avocado extend the choice into seafood and richer sharing plates.

Pasta is central, ranging from spaghetti with garlic, olive oil and chilli to rigatoni with broad beans, porcini and pancetta. Gnocchi comes with pesto and green beans, orecchiette with broccoli and Italian sausage, and seafood linguine with prawns, squid and mussels. Other choices include meatball fusilli, green lasagne, fresh ravioli and spaghetti with half a lobster.

Beyond pasta, the kitchen serves grilled calamari with chilli and garlic, sea bass with tomatoes, veal Milanese, calf’s liver with butter and sage, and sirloin steak with chips. Specials can bring truffle and wild mushroom taglierini or other seasonal ingredients to the table. Homemade tiramisu, panna cotta and Italian drinks provide an uncomplicated finish to the meal.
