    Caesar Salad
    Mark G.

    Everything about this restaurant is fabulous! Jake, my waiter, was amazing in every way. The atmosphere is active. It's not necessarily romantic, but it would be a great restaurant for a date. It's a little bit on the louder side. My food was AMAZING. I always judge Italian restaurants on their Chicken Parmesan. I travel for a living, and I have it in EVERY Italian restaurant I go to. The Tableside Chicken Parmesan is by far the best Chicken Parmesan I have EVER had! Be careful though! When you get the check, it already includes a 15% tip.

    O L I V I A, OLIVIA!! From the moment I pulled up, I knew that an experience was waiting for me. We had a Serenata Drink and it was Delish. Also, their old fashioned delivered like no other. We had the very BEST Bruschetta Ever. The grape tomatoes were a vibe alone with a hint of sweetness. Their Famous Chicken Parm Tableside is definitely a must have and the Lasagna which I hear is leaving the menu soon is the BEST. The Brussels Sprouts were the perfect combination of crisp and soft. Everything was favorable, authentic and presented with a modern flare. One thing: Please make reservations. Give a shout out to Carrie, the Dining Room Manager who runs an efficient dining area. Rory, our waiter. Is amazing too. Their entire staff is on point. Reserve and go immediately. We will be back really soon. 10/10 Ciao Bella!!!

    I would come back here again every day this week to eat this chicken parm if that was socially acceptable!! Olivia is the perfect combination of classic and classy. The table side chicken parm is the reason we came and it did not disappoint. 10/10 order this dish if you come here! The Cesar salad dressing was some of the best I've ever had. FYI- We arrived at 5:04 and the bar was already full and the restaurant was completely booked, so you definitely need a reservation and patience but it is totally worth it! There is valet parking and also several self-parking spots in the back. My bestie had a dirty martini and it was to die for. We ended the night with tiramisu that had a creamy, crunchy mousse surprise on top. Will 10000% be back.

    Chicken Parm - table side
    George D.

    What an amazing experience. Went here for a business dinner on a Wednesday night. The place was packed. They have free valet so that's a major plus. There wasn't a single table open so it was fairly noisy but not so much that you couldn't carry on a conversation. We started with meatballs as an app. There were 3 to a serving and since there were 4 in our party, the server added a 4th. Nice touch. For my main, I got the viral internet sensation - table-side chicken parm. It was so good. Like - amazingly good. There was something different about the cheese - I swear I tasted cheddar. Excellent. Pasta does not come with it to I added as a side. They have a variety. I also got their Brussels as a side. They were some of the best I have ever had. The wine selection is vast and varied. From moderate to very expensive. Service was A+. The whole experience was top notch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    Short rib agnolotti

    Went here for our anniversary dinner. Our server was great and knowledgeable of the menu. We ordered the Brussel sprout appetizer and it was probably some of the best Brussels we've ever had 10/10. My husband ordered the bolognese and he said it was average a 6.5/10. I ordered the short rib agnolotti and added steak tips, it was delicious 9/10. The drinks were well made. Ordered the flourless chocolate cake, we werent fan of it. It was more of a thick chocolate mousse, makes sense being that it was flourless. The quality was great though. The establishment is beautiful, clean and elegant.

    I'm not usually a person who writes reviews for restaurants and neither am I super into pasta. I thought I was only a white sauce pasta girl but the lasagna converted me, it was that good. 100% I'm going back for the lasagna. It was such a nice restaurant.

    Food and service at the table was pretty flawless. Bar service with 2 drinks at 89$ o as def lackluster. But our server (I think Jake) made up for it!! Apps we go the garlic bread on reccomendation. It's was delish and super flavorful. We ordered the 2 specials tableside chicken parm and the lasagna. Both delicious. The parm was def a show and it was crispy and stayed that way. The lasagna was meat filled and loved it as leftover 2 days later. So good. My cocktails were tasty the clarified one was a hit. We also got health bar cannolis for dessert and yep they are legit. We will def be back

    Chicken and doughaffle
    LaToya L.

    I was excited to visit the Tampa Olivia restaurant for brunch as I enjoy the St. Pete location. The dining room is bright and beautiful. My party was celebrating two friend's birthday and was immediately seated at our reservation time. Kate our server was super helpful and friendly. I initially ordered the prime burger and asked for it to be well done. Once I received my plate, I was ready to dig in and decided to cut the burger in half as it was so big. Good thing I did because the burger was totally rare on the inside. In the meantime, I decided to eat my side of couscous and discovered there was hair in couscous. I informed the server and she took the dish to the back. The manager did come to the table and was apologetic about the undercooked burger. I decided to order the chicken and doughaffle, instead of another burger, which was cooked to perfection. I would come back for that dish alone.

    Margarita pizza
    Zachery D.

    If I could give OLIVIA 4.5 stars, I would. Overall, we had a fantastic family brunch. We made a reservation through Resy and were seated promptly. Our server was outstanding from start to finish--friendly, attentive, and never overbearing. As a parent of a 3-year-old, I have to give the staff a huge shoutout. From the moment we walked through the front door, everyone made our daughter feel welcome. Whether it was greeting her, giving her high fives, or checking in with her throughout the meal, they truly made her feel included. Any parent knows how much that can change the entire dining experience, and OLIVIA absolutely hit a home run in that department. Our server, Travarious (I think I spelt this right) was amazing. For food, we ordered the garlic bread, truffle fries, Margherita pizza, Agnolotti, Bucatini, drinks, and finished with the olive oil cake (substituted with raspberry sorbet and mango). The garlic bread and truffle fries were excellent, and the Margherita pizza even earned an enthusiastic thumbs-up from our 3-year-old, which is about as honest of a food critic as you'll find. My wife loved the Agnolotti, and I really enjoyed the Bucatini. The olive oil cake was very good as well, although a little sweeter than I personally prefer. We originally wanted the tiramisu, but with a 3-year-old at the table, we decided to skip the espresso dessert and chose something everyone could enjoy. The atmosphere was lively for a Sunday brunch. It was definitely busy and energetic, but never so loud that it became distracting. It felt like everyone was simply enjoying a relaxing weekend meal. The reason this isn't a full 5 stars comes down to two things. First, the pricing felt just a little high for what we ordered--not enough to keep us from coming back, but enough to notice. More importantly, we specifically made a reservation expecting to be able to order from the full menu. We arrived around noon and found out only the brunch menu was available. I couldn't find that restriction mentioned on either the restaurant's website or on Resy. Had we known, we simply would have booked a later reservation. That said, we genuinely enjoyed our experience and would absolutely return. Next time, we'll just plan our reservation around the dinner menu. If you have young children but still want an elevated dining experience, OLIVIA deserves to be on your list.

    We absolutely love Olivia. The service is always wonderful. The atmosphere is stunning. I love the wine room. The appetizers are delicious and are always full of flavor. The pastas are top tier. It is always a consistently great meal.

    Garlic bread
    Bob R.

    Went to Olivia after reading about it for a while and it did not disappoint. Beautiful setting although much louder than expected. Our server was excellent and advised us of her recommendations, which were spot on. We started with the garlic bread, which was unique and delicious, probably the best we've ever had. We also tried the brussel sprouts and again some of the best we've ever tried. My wife loved the arancini as well. But the star of the night was the viral chicken parmigiana, which was massive and delicious. I added a side of cacio and pepe pasta to finish off the dish. The attention from management was also top notch as they knew we were celebrating our anniversary so they brought a glass of champagne for my wife and non-alcoholic drink for me (I was driving) I even received an email from the general manager the next morning. Overall a 5 star experience and we will definitely be back.

    Avocado Crostino
    Lisa R.

    This was my first time visiting Olivia in St. Pete - we were seeing a show at American Stage early afternoon and had wanted to go. I had visited the one in Tampa, which I enjoyed. The food was very good, but the service was a bit slow. I would leave more time in the future if I was going to see a show as it became a more leisurely breakfast/brunch experience than we had hoped for. I would definitely go back though - the food was high-quality and tasted good! I would also want to go back for dinner. The atmosphere is bright and trendy -- a really good spot for a Sunday morning brunch. We enjoyed the wild mushroom crostino with poached eggs, the avocado crostino also with poached eggs and the goat cheese sformato (which is actually an appetizer but plenty for breakfast/brunch if you wanted something delicious but not too heavy). Our friends ordered some cocktails as well as they were equally as delicious! Yum!

    We had an amazing girls night here on Thursday night. It was definitely packed. Despite the busy restaurant service was so fast and friendly and so attentive with table wipe downs in between courses . We made a reservation early for 530 parking lot was small, but they have complementary valet, which is so convenient. They have a special vegan menu and vegetarian options as well and the drinks were awesome as well. I got the strawberry Fields mocktail, which was perfect. I also got the spicy vodka sauce, pasta, and the olive oil cake dessert which was so delicious. Would highly recommend for dinner out or girls night.

    Yes but they will add gratuity for parties over a certain number of people.

    Is there a dress code or anything like that for dining in the restaurant?

The ambience is very typical to the Holiday Inn chain which is clean and modern but the actual restaurant is on the bright side and didn't have a bar Restaurante vibe for an evening, felt more like a cafeteria in it's looks but the food was better than expected and very friendly service. It was a Sunday evening, football season, December 14th and they had the football games on which was a bonus. We enjoyed a bottle of white wine with our dinner.
