This place had amazing food, amazing service, the waiter Sam was very friendly and welcoming.. I really enjoyed eating genuine Italian food. I highly recommend this place. read more

Really great Italian food. The stuffed banana pepper appetizer was excellent-not too spicy, just right. The shrimp champagne and lasagne were excellent too. The serving size was just enough to get some left-overs for home. Just a suggestion to management...the swivel chairs were very comfortable, but a bit shabby. Makes the experience just a touch less "special" in an ambiance POV. Also, I would suggest cloth napkins. We'll be back again. read more

Both the food and service were amazing! The Ambiance was very dim and romantic. The waitress Emma was super attentive and always checking on us and every one of her tables. The staff were pleasant and kind. We went out to dinner for our belated Anniversary last night. This restaurant was highly recommended by 2 of my co-workers who went separately with their spouses. The fresh bread and dipping oil were delicious. We ordered a Fig pizza as an appetizer (brought half home), it was delectable. You could tell the figs and goat cheese were so fresh, it was sooo good! My husband ordered the Champagne Shrimp for dinner and I ordered the Tomato Shrimp Scampi. Both dinners were wonderful. The shrimp were huge and cooked nicely. The sauce on the Champagne Shrimp was very creamy, just like an Alfredo sauce. The tomato Shrimp Scampi has a red sauce with a kick. It was just spectacular! This restaurant has a pretty simple and short menu but there's a reason for it. It is farm to table and uses local ingredients and the minimal menu also keeps their food completely fresh. Can't wait to go back and try something different off the menu! read more

This restaurant is authentic Italian food, fresh made pasta, sauces, and the homemade bread is delicious. Their farm to table cooking makes their dishes outstanding. My favorite starter is the grilled Calamari and entree is Pork Hollandaise. Andy the owner and his wife (the chef) made their mark in Dade City. We are happy to have them here. Reminds me of Italy and a cafe you would find overseas. read more

Saturday dinner at Olio's was great! Several folks in our community have been raving about it and my experience is the same! My wife went to lunch three days ago with friends and she came home and raved about it!! She had PENNE BOLOGNESE-traditional meat sauce, penne, grana padano, wild oregano. I even loved it as a left over! We went last Saturday. So glad we came early at 5:30 pm. Soon after we were seated the crowd only got bigger! For an appetizer I order the Caprese-Vine ripened tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, capers and basil with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Very nice!! Our entrées were Shrimp Champagne-Fettuccini pasta served with Shrimp, tomato, champagne, roasted garlic cream and spinach. Huge shrimp in a light sauce. Flavorful and aromas! My wife order the Padella Cremora-Penne pasta oven baked with Alfredo sauce, spinach, and cheese. Picky eater described it as 'Excellent'! Interestingly we had the same server-Brandon-who waited on my wife when she came for lunch-Brandon!! He was enthusiastic, attentive and informative. He added to our enjoyment of the evening. read more

Ok I'm happy That's saying something. This place Olio is a must on the rotation and should not be missed. Food is excellent. Not just good not just fine But excellent! Our server for this lunch visit was Liliana who was well versed on the menu, made great suggestions, on top of her game and made our experience memorable. She brought my review to a five star. Ambiance is Mediterranean Italian cafe and comfortable I enjoyed everything about this place and will definitely do a return trip. Two of our table of four have returned many times Keep up the amazing job Olio!! read more

The food was excellent and the waiter was very attentive and polite. I can't remember the waiters name but he is from France and going to school here. The only negative I would have is they had deliveries coming in thru the front door on hand trucks right past the table which didn't do much for the ambiance.. read more

Food delicious. Server Paulina was great. Only disappointment was they would not allow substitute sides regardless of an Upcharge. I wanted something else instead of potatoes with my entree. read more

Olio is a hidden gem. We pass by it all the time and never noticed it was there. Saw comments on Facebook about it so we went in search for it. We are extremely happy that we found it. The food is exquisite Handmade, fresh to order. They make their own unique and traditional sauces for their food. I had tortellini and vodka sauce, and my husband had Pollo Sugo Di Funghi. We both fell in love with that sauce. Never had anything like it before. They make a wonderful, homemade garlic rolls and we sop up all the sauce with the rolls too. Good to waste any. We brought our leftovers home and enjoyed them the next day as well. I would love to see them offer the Di Funghi sauce on more items. Or put a little bit of penne or ziti with the dish my husband had. Not that it needs to have it. It's just that good that you want it with noodles also The ambiance is perfect. Inside and outside dining available Our waiter was amazing and authentic actually the whole staff is amazing. We plan on returning within the next couple weeks to try other things, but it's hard to get away from that Di Funghi sauce read more

Olio - Italian Near Me - Dade City, Florida

Went for lunch on a Saturday with my son. He had cheesy skillet and I tried the fried eggplant and pasta. Both were "eh". My eggplant was done very well but my pasta was very overcooked (mushy) and tomato sauce lacked flavor. Also they put cold muscadine grapes in the dish?? Skip and go to new country kitchen restaraunt one block away. Also wine list is disappointing and they claim they do not do corkage fees or allow outside bottles. read more

They are a great Italian restaurant I recommend it highly food is authentic and fabulous kudos to the chef

My wife and I were randomly searching for a place in Dade City for dinner. A yelp search produced Olio on 7th Ave. Unfortunately it being a Saturday we were met with an over an hour wait. The only choice was to be seated at the bar or outside. We made the mistake of choosing outside. Regardless of the choice we received excellent service. One thing I suggest is some type of bug repellent system for the outside. I chose the pollo parmigiana the wife chose the pollo cremora. The pollo parmigiana was good, I felt that their red sauce lacked something. The pollo cremora was delicious. The Alfredo sauce was light and had such great flavor. My only complaint was the wait time for our food, 45 minutes. If we were inside waiting it would have been a little more enjoyable. read more

A hidden gem. The food and atmosphere is fantastic. The food is on another level. We had the chicken parm and the alfredo. Everything was great. Highly reccomend. read more

The 1st couple times I went in, I enjoyed the meals, but the last time I went in my daughter and I went for a nice meal. The dinner was fine, my issue was with the appetizer, we ordered the burratta for us to share. When the appetizer came to the table I cut into it and it turned out to be fresh mozzarella, not burratta, the price difference between the Caprese salad is around 4 dollars, $12 vs $16. I told the server that we ordered the burratta, he went into the kitchen and asked the chef, and the chef said they ran out, ok. I've worked at lots of restaurants before, I understand that product runs out, and if that happens then you 86 it. I was charged burratta prices for regular mozzarella. The server or the chef should have taken the appetizer off my bill, because I paid for something and never received it and wasn't even informed about the switch of type of cheese. Because of this, I might never return. Do better. read more

Great food and service, the menu choices are excellent with a daily special. If you like Italian food this is a must stop.

2nd visit and cant praise the chef enough! Our waiter Mathew was a sweetheart! Everyone is so welcoming it really is a gem read more

We had the privilege of going to Olio's for Valentine's dinner. We were greeted and seated and told to take our time looking at the menu since it was our first time. Our waitress was sweet and very knowledgeable of the food and pronunciation of the entrees. The restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated. Waitresses were adorable in their Valentine shirts. The food was magnificent and beautifully presented. Class A place for sure. Prices were fair infact they were perfect for the amount you got. I highly recommend Olio's. You feel at home yet you also get elegance. read more

The best grilled Calamari ever ! My most fortunate meal , busy night sat at the bar. Ordered the Calamari ,while waiting a special meal was served to a lady next to us. Olio Steak Duo Al Fuoco Vivo for two was served to her. I was so greatly impressed by the presentation and the process of cooking your own I complimented her for her choice. she in turn shared some of the great steak with us. I then returned the favor by sharing the Calamari. " It melts in your mouth " she said and I agree . read more

We chose Olio for our Anniversary dinner and they did not disappoint. The food was exceptional. My husband got the Sea Bas Branzino and I chose the lamb. The Branzino was filleted at table side and the presentation of the dish was beautiful. Antoine, our server, was friendly and knowledgeable from filleting the fish to preparing the drinks. Just a great experience which I would highly recommend if you're in Dade City. read more

We have been wanting to try this place for months and finally had a chance this past weekend....and we immediately returned for dinner on Tuesday. The restaurant is a new gem for Dade City and fills a significant void in the Italian restaurant space for the area. The dishes are clearly made fresh from scratch and are all amazing so far. The fresh garlic rolls with pesto they give you are to die for. Excellent drink options, very good ambience and attentive service. So far we've had the burrata, antipasto, meatballs, chicken parm, kids spaghetti and pasta crema. I am typically immensely particular on Italian food and am rarely impressed by restaurant offerings. Finally, prices are extremely reasonable. We spent $100 on appetizer, two entrees, kids meal, 4 alcoholic beverages and one soda. read more

Delicious Italian Cuisine w/ Fantastic Service Authentic Italian cuisine and service in the heart of Dade City, and this is now one of my top favorite Italian restaurants. I decided to take my mom here for lunch (my first visit) and was impressed with the service and quality of our meals. Fred was our server, and he was fantastic! His recommendations were perfect. The calamari for a starter was perfect. I ordered the lasagna and my mom had the shrimp champagne w/ linguine. While everything was delicious, my lasagna was the best ever. Olio is a gem in this small charming city, and I plan on being a regular with Fred as our server. Well done, Olio, and thank you for the fantastic experience! read more

Absolutely amazing experience at Olio. The food and service were outstanding. The leftovers we took home were just as good as the first time at the restaurant. Olio came highly recommended by my girlfriend's colleagues at work and we went and thoroughly enjoyed our evening together as we chowed down on some delicious food. Definitely check it out for yourself. Highly recommend it. read more

Be prepared to be there for a quite some time. And bring your own fan, because this place is BEYOND warm and uncomfortable. Even the servers were dripping sweat. And they ran out of ice so our server told us he had to leave after we ordered because he had to go to the store to get ice for the restuarant (!). Everything took a very long time - even just trying to get water. The food took a very long time to come so I was hoping that this because it was made fresh and would be yummy. Nope. The food was just ok. I've had better lasagna at Olive Garden, and it was a lot cheaper. It was very confusing because there were a lot of servers there but everything took SO long. And they had two huge tables that were empty the entire two plus hours we were there, yet they would not seat parties of four or under to share these tables, in the instance that a big party may come in. So potential customers literally had to leave! This place opted to lose paying customers on the off chance that parties of eight or more may just happen to come in. All I can say is a bird in the hand... read more

Wow !!! The service was top-notch so friendly. It was like being with friends. The food was exceptional and the portions are huge and the price is way more than fair if not under price. We live in Claremont and it was definitely worth the trip. If you live in Dade city you're lucky to have such an amazing restaurant!!! We didn't get a chance to try the spaghetti ice cream, but that's on our list for the next visit. We make it down. read more
