Reviews for Olio

We had a good dining experience at Olio. The food was delicious and the Italian wines recommended by our waiter were very nice. The serve was on the generous side so ask if unsure. The beef was beautifully done. The atmosphere was cosy for a dinner setting. The old industrial block blends in with modern decorations quite seamlessly.

We had the $59 Lunch menu, which I found to be an excellent value for money. The quality and variety of dishes offered at this price were outstanding. The atmosphere of the restaurant was enhanced by the beautiful sunlight streaming through the large windows, creating a bright and warm dining environment. What stood out the most was our server, Marcello Fiorentini. His kindness and cheerful demeanor made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

Perfect dinner! Real Italian atmosphere🇮🇹 Excellency! starter of fine quality carpaccio, focaccia and fresh pork and the most subtle and delicate scallops. 2 main courses of Wagyu beef and signature spaghetti with Santiago's experience cooking it at the table and all his incredible quality staff!, and excellent clouse with a montepulciano d'abruzzo. I hope Olio continues to maintain its Italian essence, as there are few real Italian restaurants on Chippendale!

Great experience at olio! Service and food were excellent, first I started with the calamari and a bite of salmon and caviar that were marinated with a white Sicilian wine recommended by the sommelier, espectacular! For mains, I ordered the squid ink pasta, I was told that it was one of the signature dishes of the chef, no surprise! It was a really balance dish between spicy and seafood, also the presentation didn’t hold back. It was marinated as well with a red wine that was a recommendation of the sommelier. For dessert I had a really nice affogato with an amaro as digestive, good combination to end the night. Related to the service, they didn’t hesitate to ask in every course how was everything, also they were very attentive about tapping up water. Looking forward to return and try the other dishes of the menu.

We got the $108/pp Truffle Set Menu - the food was pretty average. Not much of that wow factor going on especially for the price. Waited a while to even be seated even though we had a reservation. Waiter came by after 2 minutes of us being seated, but then didn't bother looking over to see if we were ready to order for some time and I had to flag someone down. No smiles, not very welcoming. The chairs were quite uncomfortable, the service in general was also a letdown. I felt like I was bothering them whenever I asked for something. The food also took a while to come out, and it took about 20 minutes for us to receive our cocktails - the food had already arrived prior. Definitely not worth the hype, would not come back here.
