L’Oliveto in Oakham is very inviting and atmospheric – we ate there on a Saturday lunchtime, which we thought would be much busier, but only three or four tables were taken. The restaurant didn’t feel as upbeat and buzzy as it has done on previous visits. As a group of five we found our table [...]
