Olives Restaurant and Bar just off Gloucester Road in London's Kensington is an authentic Italian dining room that will delight lovers of Mediterranean food. Full of quirky charm, Olives is at once both chic and rustic, decorated in deep blue and furnished with simple, clean-lined furnishings. Mismatched chandeliers hang from the ceilings and behind the bar the fine products you will soon be sampling is deliciously displayed. It is as if you are suddenly transported from South Kensington to southern Italy. Italian-born Executive Chef Davide di Croce is at the helm in the Olives kitchen where he gives traditional Italian favorites his own unique twist using top-quality ingredients.
