    Without a doubt, one of my favorite restaurants. My husband and I used to frequent the South Tampa location for years before finally trying the newer St. Pete spot, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. The food is consistently delicious. The burrata is a must-order appetizer every time, and the cacio e pepe is my personal favorite. On our most recent visit, we tried the viral chicken parm... and wow. I was honestly speechless. Being originally from New York, where authentic Italian food (especially chicken parm) is everywhere and hard to compete with, I had high expectations, but this one completely blew me away. Easily #1 on my list. Service is always great - attentive, quick, and friendly. The ambiance is nice, though it can get a bit loud when it's fully booked (which is pretty common). The vibe is casual-dressy, making it perfect for date nights or special occasions. We love coming here, whether it's just the two of us or when we have family in town. Definitely a go-to spot.

    The garlic bread shocked us; probably the best I've ever had! Chicken parm is seasonal so make sure to get it before they stop serving it. Service was outstanding and very attentive. Ample space and high end decor. Would highly recommend!

    Ravioli with steak tips

    Came to visit this place after rave reviews from friends & also its link to Cafe Ponte'. A few of us got together and celebrated friendship Ordered several appetizers. Meatballs, bruschetta and Margherita pizza. All were delicious and the grapes on the bruschetta were surprisingly good! For our entree, I chose the squid ink carppessee with seafood. Delicious. You can taste the squid ink in the pasta. The rest of the group ordered their meals. Too many to name them so take a look at the pics. The highlight was the lasagna which a rolled versus stacked. All were delicious. It was very busy on a Sunday early dinner. Service was excellent. Our server was very attentive. The only table that would fit out crew 8 was the high top which was fine but wish the seats had a back rest. If you are in the mood for Italian made from scratch this is one of the places to go in DT STP.

    Pasta carbonata is another favorite. Not too strong and always cooked to perfection.

    Great food, great atmosphere.. We love everything about this place. The only thing is you MUST make a reservation way ahead of time. Went as a big group of 8 people. Excellent service and everything was spot on! We have been to the Tampa location also, both equally amazing.

    My girlfriend had been wanting to dine here for such a long time so we finally took the plunge and were glad we did! The place was beautiful. The service was on point. The food was excellent! I had the SQUID INK CASARECCE and I loved it! We will hopefully return soon!

    Lovely spot. We celebrated a 50th birthday here. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. It's a big spacious modern restaurant.

    Garlic bread and St. Pete wheat beer

    5 stars! We luckily were able to squeeze in a last minute reservation. It was a beautiful night so we requested to sit outside. The staff was very attentive and gave an elevated vibe. I ordered the truffle pasta dish. It was absolutely delicious. They make their pasta in house, a huge plus! My husband had a pizza and really enjoyed it.

    Old Fashioned & passion fruit mocktail
    Amy K.

    the perfect date night!! from the delicious chicken parm to drinks and the refreshing yellowtail. this was the best way for us to celebrate our anniversary. Our waiter was amazing and even gave us a complimentary dessert. Everyone definitely has to give the chicken parm a try!

    Wild arugula salad
    Alyssa M.

    I came here for my birthday dinner and it was amazing! We started with the garlic bread appetizer, which was perfectly crusty and garlicky, with lots of Parmesan on top as well. I also split the wild arugula salad with my grandma and it was very tasty and unique! For my entree I got the agnolotti and I cleaned my plate! It had such a wonderful flavor, the short rib inside was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was great. It was a very unique dish that was executed really well. They also brought me a little cannoli with confetti sprinkles for my birthday, which was a nice touch and a very good cannoli! The service was incredible, we were taken care of very well throughout the night. The inside is also very nice, with huge windows for natural lighting and lots of tables. It's definitely on the pricier side but great for a celebration or date night!

    Chicken Parm
    Arianna C.

    Came for my birthday and everything was delish .. Service was great and the birthday cannoli made my night .. Parm was delish however you guys got me completely annihilated on tiktok because it was so overcooked it sure tasted good tho

    Agnolotti

    I went here for a nice dinner with a friend, & I had a lovely experience. Parking in the area was hard to find, so I used the restaurant's valet service, which was $15 plus tip. Our server was hospitable & attentive. For drinks, I got the Isabella's Passion & it was sweet but not overpoweringly so. The passionfruit & honey had a great taste. As for our meals, I got the Agnolotti, & it was incredible. The small ravioli-type noodles were cooked well, & the short rib inside was flavorful & a great texture. The toppings added a good crunch & flavor. The sauce the dish came in was amazing & soaking the noodles in it in combination with the rest of the elements made each bite perfection. I'd come back & get the exact same thing again that's how much I enjoyed it. My friend got the Tableside Chicken Parmesan, which is a dinner special they're serving until September 30th, 2026. They bring out the chicken breast, & then pour a vat of the topping of fried cheese & sauce on top of it. It looks delectable, & my friend loved it. The sauce was delicious & the chicken wasn't dry at all. The vibe of the restaurant was very energetic & youthful, but sophisticated.

    Husbands birthday dinner! We always get the Angnolotti (make sure to ask the waiter to add breadcrumbs and filet mignon for an extra $15!!) of course. The other two dishes were the squid pasta along with the limited quantities of lasagna. The lasagna can definitely be shared!! I didn't even make a dent in it. Always a great time at Olivia's!! Our server was amazing as usual.

    Chicken parm sandwich
    Hallie R.

    AMAZING!! Everything from the food to the drinks to the service to the ambiance. Our waiter Jesse gave us fantastic suggestions. We got the cacio, frittata, croissant, caprese salad, chicken parm sandwich, burrata, squid ink pasta, and arancini. Every single item was delicious! The ONLY item that wasn't a big hit was the Bloody Mary- it was a bit of a thick texture, but that is also just a personal preference. The mimosa was great! Will absolutely be coming back.

    Pasta lunch!

    Finally got the chance to check out this place, and it didn't disappoint! The décor has a beautiful…read moreMiddle Eastern-inspired aesthetic with modern, sophisticated touches and eye-catching patterns throughout. The bar is spacious with multiple bartenders, so getting a drink was quick and easy. There's also a large outdoor patio with a variety of seating options, making it a great spot for larger groups. They serve food, and I believe they also offer hookah, though we were there for one reason only...the dancing! We will definitely be back!

    We finally checked out Red Thread and it was delicious!…read more Great ambiance (both indoors and their outdoor courtyard, can't go wrong with either option) that fits the "silk road" vibe, with awesome food and friendly service. We started with the dip trio (beet hummus, olive tapenade, and babaganoush with fluffy pita triangles), which was fantastic. Each dip had an awesome flavor, especially the beet hummus. We also got the tahini, date, and cashew salad and loved it. My husband isn't a salad guy and said he'd only have a bite, but then he ate half. The rich and spicy tahini mixed with the sweet date, creamy cashew, and fresh/crisp salad was such a great flavor combo. I will note, they go heavy with the tahini on the salad, but we weren't complaining. I got the zataar salmon for my main. A deliciously spiced zataar crust on top of a delicately flaky salmon made for a wonderful meal. My husband got the kafta en croute, which were ground lamb/beef meatballs surrounded by a flaky pastry and topped with pomegranate over a tahini sauce. I kept stealing bites (which was fine, there was plenty to share) it was so good and such a unique entrée! For drinks, they have uniquely spiced cocktails and mocktails. The drinks took longer to arrive than the food, but they were worth the wait. We were too stuffed for dessert, but next time we want to try their tiramisu (made with Turkish coffee and cardamom). We had a wonderful meal and will be back! The sad thing was that half the restaurant was empty. We think it's a unique addition to DTSP and is definitely worth checking out.

    Bar Mezzo is a concept from the owners of intermezzo. At some point intermezzo got so popular,…read morethere just wasn't enough space for everyone, specifically at night. The concepts are similar, but not quite the same. Bar Mezzo is more cocktail forward, although it houses some of the same cocktails featured at intermezzo, including espresso based cocktails. It has one of the few espresso martinis in town that feature fresh brewed espresso. One of the best things about this bar is that it focuses on the art of cocktail making and features the bartenders as artisans. Every employee is the epitome of top of the line hospitality. Each cocktail on the menu is unique and you won't find it replicated locally. The menu is seasonal, so you can always try something new. It's the kind of place where you can say to the bartender "I'm feeling something gin based, maybe something blackberry flavored" and they will make you a unique cocktail based on what you're feeling, even if you don't know exactly what you want. During the month of December, they hold "miracle at mezzo"- a Christmas themed pop-up that was previously hosted at intermezzo. During the cooler months, weekends and during the Christmas popup, it's gets extremely crowded, sometimes forming a line out the door. Depending on the weather, they will open up the front garage style door for more standing space. You should expect a 30-37$ tab for two cocktails, or maybe 15-18$ if you catch a happy hour special.
