Oggi Simply Italian - Leicester

We travelled 3 hours to visit this restaurant and it was worth every minute and mile to get there. The steaks we both had were cooked to perfection and delicious. The service from all the team made for an unforgettable evening and the marvelous Reno was definitely the host with the most. Sublime is the word that describes our evening and we are already planning a repeat journey to Leicester just to come back to this gem.

BEST italian in Leicester! Me and my friends visit Oggi at least once a month. We come back time and time again because of the incredible food and the fantastic customer service! Rino is such a great man always happy and going above and beyond for his customers and his team are so welcoming brilliant! The food is unreal if you want authentic italian with an elegant setting … this is the place to go!!

We visited Oggi meaning today) on a cold November evening. The restaurant was brimming with people already at 6.45, so much so we skipped down to a local for 29 minutes until our table became available. The owner f the restaurant brought us delicious olives and bruschetta while we studied the menu. We were a table of 3 couples, four of whom had been close uni mates of 40 years. There was lots to catch up on, tears and laughter and clinking of glasses. The service was professional as yoi would expect from a good Italian restaurant. I am hard to please. I love good food, cooked well and this food was certainly the most delicious Italian I have eaten. Fat, sweet scallops in their shells, grilled with butter, cream and fine cheese. Rich and delicious. Fat, juicy king prawns cooked to perfection in a spicy tomato and garlic sauce. Thank goodness for the bread to mop up the delicious flavours. We ate pasta Oggi linguini with seafood, fresh cannelloni with ricotta and spinach, the best I have eaten, with such fresh flavours. We had fungi risotto with truffle oil and a portion big enough to feed two! We chose an organic Nero D’Avola from a single estate in Sicily. It was superb. Our host sang to us, recited beautiful poetry and brought a tear to our eyes with his generosity of sprit and honesty. I think each of us loved our experience and came away with a warm spot in our hearts for Reno and his superb Oggi, We will be back, for sure.

Had a fantastic evening at Oggi. The food was authentic and delicious, the service was second to none and the restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely be returning!

Authentic and amazing Italian food! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Reno was so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. I dined with three friends, pre concert. It started our night off perfectly, lots of laughs and a great dining experience! Thank you Reno, Mario team, we will be back!
