My wife and I hold Olio as our favorite spot for a special treat. We've always enjoyed the food and cocktails. A great place for a quick happy hour snack or to sit all night. Their bread is worth it alone! Last night we finally got to try Elaia and it is truly wonderful too! After dinner we sat on Olio's perfect, cozy patio and heard some lovely live music. My only wish is they had a few more approachable and affordable beer and cocktails on their menu so I could convince all my friends to hang out here.
One of my go-to bars and restaurants! We absolutely love having this in the neighborhood. The atmosphere of Olio is great and really compliments the drinks and small plates. I have have had an amazing experience at Elaia each time too. The intimate, cozy home atmosphere is very welcoming. The service is wonderful, and we love hearing from the Sommelier about the wine pairings. Can't recommend this place enough.
Delicious Middle Eastern / Mediterranean dishes served with an American feel.
We sampled a variety of plates on a Saturday evening, arrived without a reservation and were seated immediately.
Both inside and outside have unique signs of an old garage, maintaining quite a few original features.
All the plates we ate were excellent and are best shared between the table. We'd recommend the babaganosh and fire carrots!
Servers were friendly and helpful, and met all our needs.
Non alcoholic drinks menu is small but good enough.
All other cocktails, wines, beers are plentiful.
The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the deluxe lamb, which came on a bed of hummus, and I added the toasted almonds on top of it. Also got the grape leafs.. let me tell you. The balance of sweet, savory, and tart was out of this world- definitely my favorite item.
The baklava definitely tasted like someone's grandmother was making it fresh in house.- to die for amazing flavor.
I am fully in awe of what a tremendous dining experience I had over lunch today. Just a random Monday! I will be back as soon as I can to continue exploring this fabulous, thoughtful, masterfully crafted menu
I did not think the food would be as good as it is! I dined there 2 times in 24 hours. The portions were small, but the flavor more than made up for that. My mother has eaten Baba ghanoush all across the world, and she says this was the best. The server during lunch was so nice, even when my mother gave her some grief for no reason.
The best part of eating here is sitting outside in the beautifully maintained garden. It’s just so relaxing to sit and admire the gardener’s work.
The food is good but I didn’t think as good as I heard.
Very eclectic menu. But i didn’t think there was much variety. The swarma’s were good. The cauliflower was good but they seemed to try and copy the flavor from Miznon but it missed the boat.
A nice place to try
(Ben: what’s this about putting your food on white bread? Name one Tel Aviv restaurant that’s even heard of white bread).
Food delicious, service not so great. We had a 11 am reservation. Several minutes after ordering we were told that they were out of several of their main dishes including the lamb and the chicken. In general we found the staff to be kind of rude. They brought out one entree and then the rest of the table had to wait 20 minutes for their meals. The outdoor seating is lovely— especially for those of us who love to garden.
Such a nice place! I ordered hummus (king of kings- best I ever had) and egg salad.
Definitely recommend this place.
Wow, Olio was such a wonderful stop while we were in town! The Mediterranean cuisine was so delicious and presented beautifully! We enjoyed the outside dining which was flooded with the most beautiful greenery and flowers for a wonderful atmosphere!
Their gin and tonic was refreshing and their other cocktails seemed refreshing and delicious too!
My husband and I split three dishes; the olives, egg salad, and chicken kefta sinnia
My husband and I came to Olio for a date night and we had such a great experience! They happened to have a wine tasting happening while we were there and we had a great time enjoying the wines as well as chatting with the featured vineyard owners. The servers were friendly and cheerful. The food was so so delicious. My husband and I split the deluxe hummus, the bruschetta toast and the egg salad toast and it was more than enough for the both of us. I also got the ginger spritz which was really refreshing.
We left full and satisfied! Will definitely be coming back and bringing friends next time.
This place was exactly what I was looking for. I love Mediterranean food and they hit the mark on every single thing we ordered. I was very happy and enjoyed every bite. I don’t think there is anything on the menu that isn’t good! The patio was very comfortable and had lots of cool plants. Just be aware the kitchen is small and some things can take a little longer when it’s busy, but it’s totally worth it. I am already planning my next visit and all the other things I want to try.
