Elaia And Olio

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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.
