About Olivea

Olivea is a restaurant located near city hall, known for its intimate atmosphere and beautiful street view, which can be enjoyed from seats by the window. The restaurant is often busy, so reservations are recommended. Olivea offers an extensive selection of wine and a variety of dishes, including pasta, sandwiches, and vegetarian options. Standout menu items include the aglio olio pasta, gnocchi, pesto linguine with shrimp, and the Ligurian Fish Stew, which has been noted as outstanding. The shrimp are particularly flavorful, and the gnocchi have been described as soft yummy pillows. The lunch combo, which includes a pasta or sandwich with a side, is priced at $18 and is very filling. Complimentary bread is also served.

While the food and atmosphere are praised, service can vary. Some guests have noted that servers may not always be very personable or attentive, though many have had exceptional service experiences, such as with Michael, who provided great recommendations and made diners feel comfortable. Despite some service inconsistencies, many still find the experience enjoyable, with generous portions and delicious meals like carbonara and steak. The sandwiches are light and crunchy with booming flavor. Olivea remains a great dining option, even for those who are not typically fans of Italian food.
