An absolute wonderful experience. Valet readily available made for an easy entrance and exit. Service was above par! Food delectable.

Thoroughly enjoyed brunch here yesterday. Came into at the end of service and our server, David, pulled some magic, and we were able to order a bit off brunch (don’t expect this to occur often). He was also very authentically himself, which is very appreciated as service can be very dry and cut & paste across the industry (hats off David). Food was phenomenal. Both brunch & dinner items ordered were packed with flavor & thoughtfulness. Olivia’s carries return value & we will be back!

Olivia is a lively hot spot with an eclectic patronage and hip, upscale vibe.
We booked a birthday dinner for five on Friday night. The space is a bit lively but we were seated at a back table next to the immaculate wine room that allowed for a comfortable noise level and great conversation.
The staff was extremely attentive..offering great menu insights and checking on our party regulary.
My biggest menu dilemma was the vast and exquisite wine selections ..how does one choose between a Piedmonte Nebbiolo, an Abruzzo Montepulciano and a sexy Sangiovese Chiante? I endured (the No Name Nebbiolo it was)
The meal was replete with winning appetizers, entrees and desserts and none disappointed!!!
The table was thrilled with the Burrata and Goat Cheese Sformato appetizers and my personal entree selection of the Lemon Fettuccine with buttery Maine lobster hit every flavor note in a symphony of good eats. We also indulged in the Afogato, Apple Torta and Flourless Chocolate Cake which all demonstrated brilliant moments of standalone dessert expertise.
Overall, Olivia is a Tampa do not miss ..the food, service and atmosphere all hit the mark at this Michelin 2025 rated gem…if you are HERE..make it THERE, and you will be not be disappointed!!!

Came here on an impromptu date night with my husband. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. We started with the garlic bread and Coccoli fritto and I would honestly go back for just those two items alone. For dinner my husband got the rigatoni and I ordered the agnolotti. Both dishes were flavor packed and I kept eating well-past my satiation. It was too good. The Brussels sprouts were amazing. And for dessert I ordered the apple tart. I would definitely go back and dine again.

This authentic Italian restaurant had been on my list for a while. Chef’s kiss to them showcasing how they make fresh pasta daily, I loved it. My bestie and I came in on a Friday night with no reservation and were promptly seated in the middle of the restaurant. The food, ambience, and service were outstanding. Handsdown one of the best meals of my life. I had the crab tortellini and my friend had the lasagna roll; both items that were on special. The lasagna roll was to die for, it tasted so homey! We also had an incredible apple butter cake with homemade caramel. Just wow! Compliments to the chef/owner and all staff. Everything was just quality! I absolutely cannot wait to come back with my husband to try the short rib agnolotti, the squid ink pasta and others.

Pricey but delicious. Well thought out food and drinks. Lots of different options. Great atmosphere with a touch of feeling like you are in The City. Service was spot on and very receptive to our needs.

Food was a 10, service a 10+. Everything was so good and Ashley and Joe are the best! Can't wait to go back. We had charcuterie board, lasagna, lemon lobster brodo fettuccine, apple tart, cannoli (picked by our wonderful team, Joe and Ashley).
Food is delicious, be careful with the wine recommendations, you can end up paying way to much for chianti wines that are very expensive, $39 per glass, more than the food you eat

We had a reservation for our wedding anniversary date and trust me we enjoyed every minute of us being here. Exemplary service, tasty food and knock out ambience. Me and wifey enjoyed a lot and it was a very romantic experience! We will return for more and shall bring friends too!
