Oliveto (49 Elizabeth Street, London, SW1W 9PP) This is a great local Italian, popular with families for Sunday lunch. OK it gets really noisy when full (ask for a table at the front if you can) and sometimes the serving staff can then be worked off their feet, but the Sardinian food is delicious. My particular favourites are the spaghetti bottarga and the crab linguine. Also the sea urchin spaghetti when they have it. The pizzas are fine as are the deserts. A refreshing change from the rubbish at chains like Strada and Zizzi.
