Restaurant Olivia

This was hands down the very best meal and experience I have had at a restaurant. I love to watch and learn from others and I can say every person in the restaurant loved what they did and it showed! You felt like a friend from the door and it just kept getting better. I had the best eggplant dish I have ever had and normally would not have considered it, but my hostess was gracious and thorough in her description and it peaked my interest. My only disappointment was in my inability to finish such amazing cuisine! I was traveling through on business but will definitely be back when possible!

We started with an octopus appetizer which was a bit too chewy. Seafood dishes in Colorado can be tricky but we expected it to be better since they decided to put it on the menu. Caramelized onion Ravioli, inspired by French onion soup, was fantastic! We also loved their version of tiramisu. I wish they had more carnivorous entrees available. We will definitely be back but will skip the seafood!

This place has been in my list for sometime! I hosted a supper club here for eight women and we left stuffed! They formulated a menu for us in advance of options to choose from. They accommodate my dairy allergy. The service was incredible. They offered us a private dining space complete with a private restroom within the dining space. I was a little bummed in the flavor profile in my pasta and dessert selection. The eggplant was the flavor prior highlight for me. The drinks were lovely, wine selection was incredible! Space is stunning! Parking is limited. Thank you RO!

The best bread and sauce I had (Whipped Ricotta). The venison was a little tough but delicious. The French onion Ravioli was very unique liked it alot. Tagliatelle was very good. Portion sizes are rather small for entrees and with the bread and 3 entrees our bill came out to around $170. The service here was phenomenal. Water always full and they actively assisted in splitting our meals since we shared everything - separate bowls for the ravioli and then separate plates given while the other dishes were served in the middle.

Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in Denver! Had to plan well in advance to get a reservation but it was completely worth it. The focaccia was delicious. The eggplant Parmesan is a must get! The banana pudding tiramisu was soft and light but pleasing! Would definitely come back again! Can’t go wrong with pairing with a Chianti

We have ordered from Olivia's in the past. They are a great spot and we have really enjoyed their lasagna dinner for four. I ordered from them a little early so that I could pick up when there wouldn't be too much traffic. They are located on the corner of Downing and Alameda and it can get very busy there. I ordered from their website, which redirects to a third party- Toast Tab. I received a confirmation text for the order and another one saying that my pick up would be ready at 3:12. To be honest, I was surprised that I was able to place an order since the restaurant was technically closed during this time between lunch and dinner. I headed over there and arrived at about 3:23. Perhaps you are not supposed to go into the restaurant, the text said to let them know when you are curbside and they will bring your food out, but I found a parking spot so I headed in. They were busy prepping for the night. My order was not ready. It seemed that the register got the order but the kitchen did not. I waited for about 20 minutes as they cooked the eggplant parmesan ($30) and assembled the salad ($14). The Focaccia ($5) and the Jar of Bolognese ($26), I imagine, were prepared ahead for the night. I was a little disappointed that though the hostess thanked me for my patience in the end, they did not apologize for not having the order ready. When I asked what had happened she said they remodeled recently and that may have been the issue. And then made a comment how the food will be nice and hot and fresh, since they were making it while I sat there. I was getting it early to eat later so that wasn't really helpful. She offered me a seat but surprisingly did not offer me a glass of water. Although the pick up was a little bumpy. I appreciated their photocopied note made to look handwritten. The Bolognese was delicious and is a good deal as it can easily be used for a whole pound of pasta and feed a family of four. The Eggplant Parm was good (a little dry, but maybe that was because it was take out ) and they packed the sauce separately which helped it not get overly mushy. It seemed a little overpriced for 3 small pieces of eggplant . The focaccia was delicious. Overall I would recommend Olivia's. Very solid food, most items were reasonably priced.I hope that communication between Toast Tab and their restaurant improves and that they would have been a taken a little responsibility for the mishap. I know they recently got a Michelin recommendation and am sure they were busy getting ready for a packed Friday night.
