OLIVIA - Tampa (FL)

5 /5 Mike Zipko: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience at Olivia! I had an incredible time at Olivia — the food was absolutely amazing! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and made the whole dining experience even better. You can tell the staff really care about creating a great atmosphere. Highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service!

4 /5 Eliana Vega: First off the absolute BEST part of our experience was having Jake as our server he was outstanding. Only reason this restaurant didnt get 5 stars was some of the food/drinks we had. The garlic bread tower was probably the main reason we would go back (in addition to Jakes service). I also really enjoyed the arancini appetizer and the lasagna was a very good traditional version with bechamel instead of ricotta which is hard to find and I really appreciated. However, the ossobuco although was tender and perfectly cooked the "crispy" polenta as how it was presented was very soggy so definitely a let down. The lemon lobster fettuccine was delicious but the pasta to lobster ratio a bit off. Lastly, the cannoli filling was just bland and to me tasted like nothing. We had some mocktails as we couldnt drink alcohol at that time. The best one was the strawberry fields one with ginger but not that good that I would probably just skip it next time. The passion fruit mocktail was extremely tart and somewhat sour and the strawberry lemonade was honestly the worst we have had at a restaurant. It tasted like out of a fast food soda machine. In general for us it was a 3 out of 5 experience but Jake just made everything way better. He was truly amazing!

4 /5 William Stevens: Fiest visit to this establishment as a result of being gifted a gift card for Christmas. Started with cocktails, wife had a peppermint mocha expresso martini, l had a Sicilian lemonade. Then had a meatball appitizer followed by a Cesar salad and heirloom mozzarella plate. Then for our mains wife had agriolotti and I had the mini rigatoni. We finished off with candles and the apple butter torta. All where well prepared and were very savory. Highly recommend restaurant and be sure to make reservations. Only negative comments are bathroom size, had to wait for a toilet for some time. The other was the noise level, music was loud and when the restaurant was full it was difficult to converse, so loud my hearing aid shut off due to excessive noise level.

5 /5 Michael Combs: Excellent Italian restaurant with a wide selection of Italian cuisine and delicacies. The staff here is really great, top shelf service all the way around. I especially enjoyed the arancini which was absolutely fantastic. I also loved the chicken Milanese and the wild arugula salad, very satisfying. For dessert I tried the tiramisu which was also pretty good. Overall, I had a great experience here and would highly recommend!
