Red Olive - FITZROY NORTH
Red Olive
Description
The restaurant offers a variety of pasta dishes, but some were marked N/A on the menu. The food was enjoyable, but the pasta may not have been freshly made. The ambiance could get quite noisy, making it difficult to converse with your dining companions. Additionally, the restaurant does not split bills, which may be inconvenient for some customers. On the other hand, under new management, the restaurant has improved significantly. With friendly staff and great food, customers can expect a selection of gourmet pizzas, excellent wines, and an inviting atmosphere. Overall, the recent changes have resulted in better service, delicious food, and a welcoming environment, making it a spot worth revisiting.

Service was great, very attentive. Not long to wait for meal. Good range of pasta but noted that some were marked N/A on menus, which was disappointing. Food was nice but don't think pasta was freshly made.The place did get quiet noisy and hard to chat with people on your table. They also don't split bills
Seafood Risotto was perfect! Fresh seafood, beautiful flavours and cooked just right! Excellent value, not overpriced. Pizza- all great. Priced well and fresh ingredients- very Italian style. Honest good service Highly recommend to try- simple local place.
We have been here with friends of ours (in total 4 adults and 3 children) because the restaurant is very close to our house and we could not be bothered to go further downtown. Overall, the visit was not very pleasant and there is not really a reason for us to return. Here is why: 1) The atmosphere was not very nice…it was extremely loud (even though we were very early for dinner and only three tables were occupied) due to the not very suited playlist they had on full volume. Conversation…difficult! 2) The food was very average quality. The appetizers (olive ascolana) were not really good or made by the original recipe. It is also questionable whether they are made in the house or just bought frozen. We had two pasta dishes, one was ok, the other was not. And the pizza was below average. 3) The service was ok, but also not overwehlmingly friendly. 4) The price is way too high for this kind of quality.
Located in Fitzroy North, Red Olive serves classic and simple Italian dishes.
I've been a regular at Red Olive for 6 years. It's changed hands recently and lost some of it's soul. Prices have gone up and unfortunately service has gone
