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

    Told to vacate table at 1930 - 5 minutes beforehand. Some staff attentive, others didn’t seem bothered. Food good but expensive.

    This was our second visit. The food is amazing, all beautifully presented and delicious. It was a little quiet on Thursday lunchtime, hence the lower score on ambience but the service and friendliness of the staff was excellent.

    My first time. Quite small but with a very nice atmosphere. Lots of pizzas on the menu and a smaller selection of pasta and other main dishes. There was no pressure on us (we arrived at 7 pm and left at 10:30)

    Really not great! Came to London for the weekend and was recommended O Ver. Booked weeks ago. Couldn’t have been more disappointed. On arriving we thought how lovely the restaurant looked only to be walked through the restaurant to a door at the back leading down into a damp, dark gloomy basement, asked to step over a glass coffee table to get to a table set for two in a corner. I can honestly say it is the worst restaurant table we have ever sat at. To make the situation even worse was the large party next to us where one guest was arguing with the front of house over his burnt pizza. The large table should have had the basement to themselves they were so loud, swearing, shouting. The waiting staff couldn’t get to our table unless they stepped over the coffee table. We ordered pizza and asked for the wine list - which apparently had to be brought down from upstairs? Pizza was very good but honestly it didn’t matter the whole evening was beyond anything we could have dreamt up. Could not leave quick enough. Sorry but would not return, would not recommend. Front of house rude and arrogant and clearly has no idea about keeping customers happy. We asked to be moved and she didn’t even try to find an alternative table. Should never have expected anyone to sit in the dark damp inaccessible corner we were asked to! Really spoilt our Saturday night in London!
