“ Me and my partner went to L'Olive Verdi for the first Time today. We had both heard great things about the place and as a birthday lunch, we thought it's the perfect time to go. Nothing short of amazing, from starter to desert. I love a rare/blue steak, but find very little places can offer that way of cooking outside big steakhouses, but my word, by far the nicest blue fillet steaks I have had. It was cooked to perfection, so much so the price just didn't seem right (under 17) when most places charge 20 to cook it in the way they like. My partner had the calamari for starters, which again, cooked amazingly, none of this frozen out of a packet rubbish. Then followed by the chicken with peppercorn sauce (I forget the Italian name of it) lush! Everything was just so tasty, fresh and hot. The service itself was amazing, super friendly, and really she couldn't have gone out of her way more. Desert had to be done, even though by that point we're being greedy, it was worth the greed, the only downside, not having been able to eat more :) ”
“ Visited here to try out the steak night, will definitely be going back! Best brushetta I've had locally and they even knocked me up some pizzaola sauce to go with my steak! Great value for money! ”
“ Ordered the pollo picante for take away, was ready to collect within 15mins, still hot and delicious! ”
“ Le Olive Verdi consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. The food, hosting, and pricing are all excellent, and the homemade tiramisu stands out as truly exceptional. Whether it's steak night, Sunday lunch, or any other item from the menu, this restaurant consistently exceeds expectations. ”
“ First time for Sunday lunch today. Great choice, huge portions and delicious. We were a party of 8 , food arrived together, piping hot. We asked for extra veg and gravy which arrived promptly. Staff were all lovely and very helpful. We were left to enjoy our meal .... Good atmosphere ”

“ Love this restaurant. Staff are very friendly and food is awesome. Had Sunday dinner here delicious. I would go every week but unfortunately have to work lol. ”
“ We were a group of 5 and this was our second visit, the first visit was excellent, and our second visit was superb for our daughter's 21st birthday. The food and the service was absolutely superb, and the atmosphere was totally relaxed, all the staff were extremely friendly, and very attentive, we would recommend this restaurant to anyone. We will be going back again without question as good places to eat are getting very scarce in Hebburn and Jarrow, le Olive verdi is like an Oasis in the desert, a perfect place to eat at very reasonable prices. ”
