About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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

    Fabulous little casual restaurant. Service was excellent - really nice team and the food was so good. The tomatoes on the bruschetta were from Napoli - could have eaten a bowl full of them. The mains were excellent. I had the ravioli with the prawn and mascarpone filling and butter sauce. Honestly, it was as good as I’ve eaten. My mum has the seabass dish and loved it. Great meal.

    Overall, very enjoyable experience. Great food, good location and a nice ambience so have given it 5 stars overall. Only frustration was that we had to ask the waitress on 2 separate occasions about our desserts as we were waiting in excess of 30 minutes for this after our main. They clearly had forgot and then after the second time asking them about it then it appeared and was tasty.

    We really enjoyed this Italian near Borough Market - lovely service, a nice room, outdoor tables, a good atmosphere and, of course, delicious food.

    Food was absolutely delicious and you could tell how fresh the ingredients were. Service was extremely attentive and friendly. Although a pricier restaurant than I would usually choose it was definitely value for money. Would go again!

    The design and layout of this restaurant were both very good as were the furnishings glassware and linens. The service was good but the food was really excellent. Disappointments were the 15% service charge and the surprisingly basic loo. All in all it was a very pleasant dinner and a restaurant we would recommend.

    Air conditioning was not on inside so too hot to eat in the restaurant itself. Our waiter didn't seem to care that much and was generally not that engaged or attentive. The food, though nice, is overpriced as is the wine
