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...
The 9-course menu for $80 was incredible , such great value for the quality and creativity of the dishes. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, and the flavours were honestly better than some of the more expensive Michelin-starred restaurants I’ve tried. The staff were fantastic , friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I’ll definitely be coming back with friends and highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a top-tier dining experience without the hefty price tag.
Came to Olio for my birthday as I live nearby and had a good experience. The interior is rustic and elegant with large ceilings so feels very ambient and romantic (which I love). The lovely lady who looked after us was delightful and am grateful to the staff who catered to my special requests (pre-booking). We ordered a range of dishes to share, all which were tasty but nothing super special. Only comment is that we ordered a foccacia and was given sourdough and was told they didn’t have any focaccia on the night so that was what they served (which we would usually expect to be complimentary bread for a restaurant of this kind) - just hoped they would have told us this when we ordered it so we could reconsider our options.
visited olio at central park to try their $59 set lunch menu. honestly, it was a pretty mid experience overall. the burrata & prosciutto starter and the salmone main were definitely the standouts—fresh, well-seasoned, and enjoyable. the bottomless tiramisu was a highlight too: light, creamy, and you could definitely go back for seconds. however, for the overall quality and portion size, the price didn’t feel quite justified. also, be mindful of their surcharges: 10% for tables of 6 or more, 10% on sundays, and 15% on public holidays—if you tick all those boxes, you’re looking at a 35% surcharge, which is quite steep. great spot if you’re after a nice ambiance and a good tiramisu fix, but personally wouldn’t rush back given the value for money.
We had an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. Santiago took the time to explain the menu and recommended some excellent dishes along with the perfect wine pairings. We loved every plate and the variety of flavors. We will definitely be coming back!
Had an amazing experience at Olio! The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional. Special thanks to Franchesca, who was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. The food was absolutely fantastic, with fresh ingredients and authentic Italian flavors in every dish. The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly crafted to complement the meal. Must-try dishes: The wagyu was exceptional, and the tiramisu was the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch Italian dining experience! Will definitely be back.
