Olive's Pitaria is a charming Mediterranean restaurant located in a historic house in downtown Cape Girardeau, near the river. The restaurant offers a warm and casual atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed dining experience. The staff is highly friendly, attentive, and accommodating, creating a welcoming environment for all guests. The menu features a variety of delicious dishes, including gyro, beef kofta, mixed grilled, and lamb meat, all prepared with fresh ingredients. The gyro meat is tender and flavorful, while the beef kofta is so tasty that it's often enjoyed all at once. The fries, especially the feta fries and crispy fries, are highly recommended and consistently praised. For dessert, the baklava is baked perfectly, and homemade cheesecakes like Biscoff and Nutella are fabulous treats. The restaurant is also known for its excellent hummus and the best Jordanian food in the area, reminiscent of flavors from Jordan. Visitors often enjoy engaging conversations with the owner and staff, who are passionate about their food and service. With homemade desserts every weekend and options available on DoorDash, Olive's Pitaria is considered a hidden gem and a favorite local spot for delicious food and friendly service.
