Vanisha Mistry –
This is the second time I’ve been to Oggi following a really good dining experience the first time a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed with the food which arrived luke warm and the service from the manager was poor. We felt like he was trying to get us out as soon as we arrived; telling us to hurry up and order as they were busy! Thankfully all the other staff was polite and helpful. Sadly I will not be returning again.

I absolutely love the food here. Their parmigiana is fantastic as a starter. And ask Rino about his amazing organic red wine from Sicily as it’s brilliant.
-
Emma Marston –
Fantastic meal as always, food, service and atmosphere are impeccable. We visited as a group of 10 pre-show at DeMontfort Hall, Oggi's are excellent at getting the food out in a timely manner without feeling like you are rushing as they know you need to be out for the show. The main guy that served us, he may be the manager, was great in keeping us entertained.

-
Geri O'keeffe –
I was dining with a friend on a Wednesday night so it's always good to see a restaurant full with a bit of buzz and atmosphere mid-week. My friend isn't used to the whole eating out with several courses so I persuaded him to get garlic bread of which I pinched a few pieces. He then had lasagne which was deemed yummy. I chose pollo oggi which I would highly recommend. Chicken breast smothered in a rich tomato sauce with a hint of cream, topped with sliced courgettes and prawns. On a previous visit with parents I had scallops to start and halibut for main from the specials board everything being delicious and well cooked. The service was friendly and attentive even though it got busier and I look forward to coming back again soon.

Isabella Rodziewicz –
A huge choice but average fare.. Very brightly lit, not much atmosphere. Staff attentive, but, seem to want you to hurry up and go! Prices are inexpensive, but, seem to fall between cheap and cheerful and top quality but pricier.

Was a lovely meal.
-
Peter Butterworth –
Been many times and you could not get a better meal anywhere!
-
Sharon Kerry –
A table for two could easily be mistaken for a table for 6 we were that close to other diners. This wasn't a good start. We ordered 2 courses, the 1st came within 5 minutes after ordering, plates were removed and 2nd course served immediately after, my starter hadn't even hit my stomach. We felt rushed and uncomfortably placed. The food was nice, albeit a little too rich but the whole experience wasn't a good one. Arrived at 7pm and left at 7:40. Dining out should be the main event of the evening out, this felt like spit-stop. We won't be returning.
-
Mrs Pauline Case –
Super meal again. The scallops were melt in the mouth. Truffle ravioli was superb. Only let down was the cheese. Tasted good but such minute little portions and bog standard biscuits, even given a cheddar biscuit!, and no butter. Cold blast of air every time the door opened. Should have it opening on the opposite side. Still, we love Oggi and will be back.
-
Mila Pereira –
Great meal again at Oggi.
-
Steven Mitchell –
Despite it being close to Christmas and immediately after a Tigers match service in a very full restaurant was good and the food was excellent. Our party of 6 had a variety of dishes and in each case the quality was first class. Very enjoyable experience at OGGI.

This restaurant is a delight. The restaurant itself is fairly intimate which I love. The staff are very friendly and attentive without being overly so. As for the food well it’s amazing. I had cockles as a starter and spaghetti oggi for my main. Both dishes were amazing. Overall I can’t speak highly enough of this place and I’ll definitely be returning

The best in Leicestershire by a mile! Great service too.
-
Steve Paine –
Brilliant as usual, my favourite Italian in Leicester.
-
Glyn Prys-jones –
The menu is not extensive, but with the specials board it is more than adequate. Wine list is very good and not too expensive. We did have to ask for bread and then olives - seemed it was a too much trouble to put them on the table without asking. The food itself was really good (as usual) so it is a restaurant well worth going to, although they could improve things with just upping their game on the little things for the customer.
-
Mrs Sarah Freeman –
Fantastic food and service x first visit for my husbands birthday! Very impressed! We will be returning!
-
Chris Clarkson –
Excellent evening. Food very good (only order from blackboard). Nice buzzing atmosphere with restaurant almost full on a Wednesday night. Service generally good BUT I got very irritated to have our conversation rather rudely interrupted four times with service staff asking if our food was OK.

Excellent food and all round an enjoyable experience. Will certainly recommend!
-
Andy Bottrill –
We had been to Oggi on a couple of occasions in the evening and had no complaints at all. The staff were attentive and the food we ate was excellent. With these points in mind, we decided to try the restaurant at lunchtime and came away feeling disappointed. The website suggests that they are open for lunch from 12pm to 2pm so We booked a table for 1.30pm (although we could have just walked in)The staff give the distinct impression that they just don't want customers to enjoy a leisurely lunch and would prefer to be elsewhere.At 1.55pm the manager "discreetly" turned the sign on the door from "open" to "closed" and at that point we were almost encouraged not to engage in any small talk!
The food,however, was excellent and couldn't be faulted but the service received was less than average at best.
OGGI will be an "evening only" visit from now on. -
Ash Hutchinson –
Great food but inconsistent service.

Another fantastic meal at Oggi!
-
Ann Brownsword –
We had a fabulous meal at OGGI's as always but as we in the alcove in the main restaurant it was really noisy, I couldn't hear what my husband was saying to me and I felt as though I was sitting next to the gentleman on the next table to me, such a shame as it spoilt the evening. We wanted to rush off as it was giving me a headache with all the noise and I had wanted a romantic evening chatting to my husband.
-
Kay Adams –
We had another fabulous meal on 18/03/17 at Oggi with family from Texas. They loved it too! Oggi never disappoints.

I enjoyed an excellent meal at Oggi.
Ordering from the a la carte menu I omitted a starter a starter, and chose chicken steak with prawns in a cream and tomato sauce, followed by Tiramasu.
The chicken was served with a selection of vegetables, including boiled new potatoes, broccoli, carrots, and Brussels sprouts, all well cooked so they were tender but still crunchy. The chicken fillet was enormous, and the helping of sauce generous. I was glad I hadn't had a starter.
The tiramisu was delicious, creamy and alcoholic.
Service was impeccable. -

Tony Smith –
Not so keen on the squid this time at OGGI. This used to be bigger crispier rings a was delicious. The mussels on the seafood spaghetti were on the cold side and the dish lacked prawns. The special ravioli was perfect and I have had this dish a few times before. The salad and sautéed potatoes were perfect. I also enjoyed the Panacotta. The profiteroles were smothered in chocolate but my husband preferred the way they used to be served with a drizzle. The staff are always lovely but on this occasion were rushing and over busy. It sounded like they were shouting at us. This did not spoil the occasion and we will be back. Thank you.

This is not our first visit. We enjoy the quality tastes and service, which is why we go back. The price reflects the above and do not go if your expectations are quantity. Quality and variety of choice outstrips quantity anytime. The tastes are worth every penny. In all, we would be happy to recommend this (and have) to all. Thanks again

Rachel Edge –
It was a pleasant evening, the food was delicious and it wasn't too busy. It was cosy inside and a joy to see authentic Italian paintings or ornaments around the room. The staff were polite and friendly. The worst I could say is that the bill took a while to arrive - so, altogether an enjoyable evening and would recommend it to others.

We were slightly disappointed to be honest with the food and service. Maybe we expected too much? We had heard good reviews about this restaurant but for us it didn't quite live up to the hype. Not sure we would go again. Shame.

Tony Smith –
No problem, very good meal and service!

It was my Birthday and what could be better than indulging at my favourite restaurant in Leicester - OGGI! We were not disappointed. They are always so welcoming and recognise returning customers.

We booked through Go Dine and pre-ordered our menu choice at same time, our choice of seating.

Daniel Cuthbertson –
The food at OGGI Simply Italian was all in good portions, well presented and tasted great. There wasn't a long wait between courses and the food all came out together so no one was left waiting. Towards the end of the meal there were a few empty glasses and bottles on the table that hadn't been collected but other than that the overall experience was exceptional and would definitely recommend OGGI to friends and family.
-
Martin Ward –
We’ve been coming to OGGI Simply Italian for years under the previous and current owners. It is still the best Italian restaurant in Leicester and probably this side of Italy. Food, service and atmosphere are all excellent every visit!

-
Linda Brooks –
What a delightful venue with an excellent choice of food and drink! The staff all gave friendly, efficient service with a smile, the food authentically Italian. I had the tastiest Penne al Salmone which was creamy without being too rich yet piquant at the same time, Will certainly go again.
-
Daren Gathercole –
Great service and quality food, very nice setting and good attention to detail. Would reccomend to anyone.

Jill Prime –
Simply perfect! Table at 6.15pm for 4, linen table cloths and fresh flowers and lovely simple decor. Bruschetta, pate, and anti paste sharing platter for 2, all fresh and delicious. 2 fillet steaks, 2chicken breast one with prawns the other with Marsala wine sauce. All cooked perfectly, especially the steaks, fresh hot veg served separately. 2 tiramisu, ice cream and cassatta to finish. Again all very good. We all had 2 drinks including 2 beers, red wine, prosecco and 4 soft drinks. £130. Excellent. My 2 sons age 16 & 19 and my husband and I will definetely return. Only negative comment was that the waiter didn't bring the specials board to our attention which also looked full of fresh fish. Happy to review but would like to keep it a secret :)

Carol Smith Taylor –
My husband and I booked a meal at Oggi - Simply Italian in Leicester after another restaurant had let us down. We made a good choice. Nothing was too much trouble as we are non-meat eaters. The restaurant has only been open five months and the food and service were wonderful and made it a perfect day for us. We are returning.

Lewis T –
First time visiting since the new managers and have to say this place is simply better than ever! Our waiter was attentive and well-informed and the value for money is brilliant. Oggi is the one place I can count on for wholesome Italian dishes! Perfection.

We say…
OGGI Simply Italian in Leicester, just 5 minutes walk South-East of the Train Station on London Road in the heart of the city, prides itself on its excellent food, both in presentation and quality. With a head chef who has over 20 years’ experience, and has won awards for his culinary skills, it isn’t difficult to see why the restaurant is a big success.
The modern and cosy setting makes customers feel at ease right away, and the tasteful yet simplistic décor lets the food speak for itself. The dishes on offer range from pasta such as penne al salmon, to a selection of main courses, and daily specials which are written on the blackboard menu. One thing all the dishes have in common is the standard of presentation. It is clear that a great deal of care has been taken to make sure that a personal touch has been added such as a drizzle of berry sauce to finish off the pate della casa; a homemade chicken liver pate offered as a starter.
Of course, a restaurant cannot rely on just the appearance of the food to keep its customers happy – it also has to match it in taste, and OGGI Simply Italian doesn’t disappoint! It serves traditional dishes at a high standard, making sure that guests enjoy authentic food that they have most likely had before, but still feel like they are trying something new. This is down to Head Chef Danny, who worked with Italian food all over the UK and Germany prior to OGGI Italian. The passion he has for his food is evident by the consistently positive feedback the restaurant receives.
If you’re looking for a lively little Italian restaurant that serves great food, then OGGI Simply Italian is definitely the place to go. With a hardworking team running it, and the knowledge they have gained over the years, you are sure to find yourself returning for your favourite dish.
