Restaurant Olivia 290 South Downing Street, Denver, CO 80209

"The best Italian I’ve had in Denver and also extremely vegetarian friendly. Not especially kid friendly but if your kids are well behaved you’ll be OK. We enjoyed the ravioli which tasted like a French onion soup (in a great way) and the eggplant Parmesan, as well as two mocktails (which were balanced and not overly sweet) and the cookie for dessert. Oh and the bread and butter course is AMAZING."

"We came here to celebrate a birthday and arrived early, unfortunately there were no bar seats available for drinks so the hostess suggested a bar that was half a mile walk away. We arrived back to the restaurant at our reserved time and were seated. The restaurant was busy, the waitstaff appeared to be on auto pilot, and tried to serve as many tables as possible. It wasn't very personable, service felt rushed. I had really high expectations for this place but the food was below average, for what we paid, I don't think we plan to come back. The ravioli was slightly undercooked and had a really strong onion taste, we couldn't taste the fennel in the fennel soup, arctic char was underwhelming. Overall not a great experience, service was rushed and food was mediocre at best. It was such a shame! The raving reviews did not match our experience. So sad!"

"We celebrated my husbands birthday with his parents and enjoyed ourselves from start to finish! The atmosphere was so warm and inviting. Love the mood - No bright invasive lights. The service was top notch and our server was so gracious. He treated us quite a bit. The limoncello in the beautiful mini crystal stems were so delicious. The food was just superb! We will be back!"

"Absolutely loved the atmosphere and service of Restaurant Olivia! The staff is absolutely fantastic! They were great at accommodating my dietary needs. The gluten-free dairy free focaccia was such a lovely treat! I personally did not love the gluten-free pasta, I wish I would have gone with a different dish."

"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!"
