10/10The food and service were outstanding from start to finish. Each of the three courses we had was superb, both in flavour and presentation.

6/10Food ok, nice table in the garden but service without any warmth. All felt like an obligation.
Olivola ristorante • Owner
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and the garden setting. We’re sorry if our service did not feel as warm as it should — that is never our intention. At Olivola, we always aim to make our guests feel welcome while also guiding them through our dining style, which may be different from a tapas concept. Your comments help us improve

10/10We had a delightful evening at Olivia Ristorante. Our party of six was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. The food was delicious - we would particularly recommend the red tuna tartare, the wild boar parpadelle con ragu and the tiramisu! Staff were wonderful too. Great ambience for an either family meal or date night!

5.5/10Food was very tasty but we had to wait a long time for it! Our friend arrived before us and wasn't offered a drink and eventually had to ask for one. The same happened when we arrived. Disappointing level of service.

10/10A very warm welcome from friendly and efficient staff. Good atmosphere with soft music playing, modern and quirky decor. We ordered crispy prawns, carpaccio, crab tortelloni, mushroom ravioli, strudel and tiramisu and each course was an absolute delight. House Red perfect room temperature and delicious.

10/10Dined at Olivola four times now and cannot fault the service from Isabella, Sunny and Elisabeth. The menu is refreshing and creative and the dishes from starter to dessert are simply stunning. No hesitation at all in recommending this little gem of a restaurant and we will definitely continue to dine here and support our favourite place to eat in Loule!
