Enjoy chef Lino’s award-winning food in a typical alfresco setting on Olio’s terrace, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a lunch, dinner or a glass of vino. There’s something special about rooftop terrace dining. Maybe it’s the altitude: even...

Great food! The $80 chefs menu was delicious! Loved the araccino, blue spanner crab squid ink pasta and tiramisu! Exceptional service! Overall a very pleasant experience.
Francesca and Tara were entirely amazing. I ordered the arancini (absolutely delicious), gnocchi (exactly the right balance between salty, umami and rich), pannacotta (perfect balance between creamy and tangy - from the passion fruit) and the pomegranate crush cocktail (slightly bitter, amazing as a palate cleanser). If you want something memorable with five-star quality that won’t break the bank, definitely try Olio! My only complaint is that I don’t have their recipes!
I've been to Olio several times, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is stylish yet welcoming, with a beautifully designed interior that feels both modern and comfortable. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a relaxed catch-up with friends or a slightly more special occasion without feeling too formal. The food is consistently delicious. Every dish I've tried has been thoughtfully presented and full of flavor. The portion sizes are on the smaller side, which I personally love—it means you can try a few different things without feeling too heavy afterward. That makes it especially ideal for a girls' night out or a light, elegant dinner. The overall vibe at Olio strikes a perfect balance: sophisticated but not intimidating, classy but still warm. It’s one of those places you find yourself returning to again and again—not just for the food, but for the whole experience. Highly recommended.
Overall, it was a good experience. The place looks nice, and we were the first customers to dine that evening. The first few dishes were presented beautifully, with detailed explanations—just like in a fine dining restaurant. However, as more people arrived, the service started to feel a bit rushed. Some cutlery was missing, and at one point, a waitress accidentally spilled some sauce but instead of wiping it up, she just covered it with another plate. One more thing worth mentioning—the waitress who served us was very kind and polite, but unfortunately, she had a strong body odor, which made it a little hard to enjoy the meal fully. The food itself was good, and with a bit more attention to service consistency, this place could easily offer an excellent dining experience.
Oh yes! Everything is great here! ) AAA+++ Well done guys. The wine list from Italy is imaculate, top notch. Alay can curate the taste buds from the wines available. The food, just phenominal. All Wagyu dishes, just sublime! Gnocchi great! Beef Cheek, awe amazeballs. Arancini very nice. Octopus cooked to perfection also. Baba dessert was something unusual, but a nice mix with gelato & custard ) Whoever said what is the Wagyu dish in the photo & give it 1*, please go away to a fast food chain where your reviews belong! You certainly don't have fine-dining taste buds!!! Stop disrespecting quality taste & establishments class & reputation!!!
