Olivia - Tampa

Olivia! olivia! olivia! where do I start?! this restaurant is fantastic! every time they come here, eating is just as delicious as before, never change its perfectly cooked masterpieces. this restaurant is very lively, in which very busy, so if a quiet night is out what they are looking for, then this is not the place. But the atmosphere is wonderful, beautiful decoration, great lighting, educated staff. the scallops are to die! They are so tender and cooked every time perfectly. in any case my favourite dish! the pastas are all amazing and so are the apps. you can't go wrong with olivia and if you weren't, it's a must to try!

We accidentally fell on this beautiful place to brunch on our way back to home. we wanted to go somewhere else, but wait was 25-30 min, so we went. we are always for good eating, but sometimes it is hard to find if they are not familiar with the opposite. after reading the reviews we decided to review it. we were greeted with valet, they were very friendly and prompt. Apparently, after the hostess, very reservations are suggested, but we had the opportunity to sit on the bar. the bar staff was just as friendly. it was a gentleman and a young lady who served us as I previously saw on menu, I knew what I wanted, they beat different drinks and were super friendly, but gave us enough space to enjoy our food. from beginning to end, the hospitality and eating was incredible. we travel a lot and have tried hundreds of restaurants, and even tho this is 2 hours away from our house, I will definitely be back, this time with the rest of the family. I am not sure what the food was called, but published pictures to give a general idea. the taste was amazing! the style is Italian/American, with vegetarian style also available. the prices correspond to the service and quality of food. a must for anyone who has not gone can not wait to taste other dishes, thanks to olivia!

The Ponte restaurants are not missing! cafe ponte in clearwater is my favorite restaurant by far, and on swan is an amazing experience. olivia is there, offers the ambiente, service and the deliciousness that only these restaurants can offer. the goat cheese sformato was a delicate, my wife and I greet every bite. then came the bruschetta, holy hell! as tender and decadent, but sweet, a perfect balance against the sformato. the cacio e pepe was very good and the bucatini perfection. we also had the brussels sprouts, which as an absoeffi glutely phenomenal! the restaurant is extremely loud, definitiw no romantic situation. we had a not so beautiful situation with which I think the manager was. he came to our table to remove our drink glasses when our waiter brought the next. from any reason he felt that he had to know that the glasses should be removed before the hand. not great to say that to their employees, looks bad on them. we look forward to our next night in olivia.

I don't know where to start. the door was opened for me to get to the building. everyone welcomed me with a pleasant smile and hallo. no reservations, but was set within seconds. the waiter was on site! the weeping was not to my pleasure, but asked for a suggestion to more my taste. the appetizer should die. then my meal was the ink paste and garnel. my mouth only wateres on it. manager came for a little talk and hit another wein for a future visit that would bring the taste even more, note to himself. there was no rest. less than 60 mice! highly recommended to try before many people read this review!

Very beautiful location. Everything is clean and modern, but very comfortable and cozy. Brunch is fantastic! I’ve been twice now and the highlighted dishes were wonderful. I will say my toast on the Avocado Crostinos was very firm, to the point where I just couldn’t finish it. Flavor was amazing, though.
