    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!

    I have been wanting to try Olivia since it opened and I am so glad I finally had the opportunity. I went for a girl's lunch with my family and we had a great time. The food and service were perfect. I ordered the rice balls as an appetizer to share and for lunch, I enjoyed the chicken Milanese, which was a massive portion. It's literally two chicken cutlets. I don't drink and it was great that they have a mocktail menu. The strawberry basil drink is so fresh and delicious. My biggest regret is not valet parking. I spent $21 parking in a lot, had I known there was valet parking, I would have done that - same price.

    Had the most amazing experience at Olivia while visiting St. Petersburg! The service was amazing and all the food we ordered was wonderful. My filet was cooked to perfection and it just melted in my mouth. The layout of the place and the low lighting sets the perfect mood!

    This modern restaurant is a must-try in St. Pete! My husband and I were visiting the area and found Olivia on Yelp. We didn't have a reservation. While they weren't able to seat us inside, we luckily were able to snag a table outside. It was a beautiful night so this was not a problem. Our experience still felt elevated. The service was great! They have a large wine menu. They make their own pasta in house and there were so many great options on the menu it was hard to choose. We started with the garlic bread-- must have! I got the agnolotti. The pasta was stuffed with short rib and cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich and absolutely delicious. My husband had the broken meatball pizza. He mentioned the meatballs could have used a little more flavor, but the pizza was still good and cooked perfectly. I'd definitely come back!

    Olivia is a model restaurant. Upon entering we were warmly greeted. The restaurant is beautifully designed & laid out. Our waiter was amazingly friendly, relaxed, & helpful in guiding us. We settled on 2 dishes to share. One was agnolotti. Think of a short rib-mushroom ravioli with a truffle butter sauce with parmesan. The flavors were divine. This dish is a true win. The other dish we ordered was a pepperoni pizza. The pizza was so authentic & tasty. The fresh mozzarella, pomodoro sauce, charred grape tomatoes, cupped pepperoni, & flavorful crust made for a perfect pizza experience. What a perfect dining outing we had.

    I have been waiting too long to try this restaurant. It's super cute walking in. Has a nice feel! The food here was delicious and the service was great. To start we ordered the yellowtail. It was delicious but it was pretty small portioned. To drink, I ordered the espresso martini and my second was a gin sour with the egg white and both were great! My entree was the spaghetti with blackened shrimp and it was delicious. Loved the white sauce!! I also really love what my bf ordered which was the short rib pasta with truffle sauce and it was amazing!!! Although, he did say he was still hungry after because it wasn't much. But he loved the taste too. I would come back to try more!

    I had a great experience at Olivia. The location is perfect, right in downtown and within walking distance of other local entertainment and live music, which makes it a great spot to start or end your night. The ambiance immediately stood out. The décor felt very luxurious with a chic, vibe that created a really stylish and comfortable setting. We started with the truffle fries, which were a great appetizer and the perfect way to kick off the meal. Our server was fantastic and told us about a lasagna that wasn't even on the menu. It ended up being the perfect size to share and was absolutely delicious. The drinks were just as good as the food, and everything about the experience felt polished and enjoyable. Not overpriced. I'll definitely be back...next time I want to try dessert and maybe grab a seat at the bar.

    Agnolotti
    Amber N.

    The same quality food and service from the Tampa location. The agnolotti pasta was perfectly cooked and full of short rib. I also tried the chicken and waffles that were crispy and delicious with a few twists on the waffle and sauce. The cannolis are always amazing with plenty of delicious cream.

    Goat Cheese appetizer 10/10. Still thinking about it it was so good!
    Whisper W.

    We stopped into Olivia's for a cocktail and app after walking downtown for a few hours. We were not appropriately dressed for such a fine establishment but they didn't mind! Drinks were on point and the goat cheese app was TOO DIE FOR! Our server was a military vet and so friendly and welcoming. We can't wait to go back for dinner soon!

    We had lunch at this location today and it was very good. The ambiance is on point for a nice modern city feel, but casual at the same time. Our waitress Savannah was very friendly and had good recommendations. We ordered meatballs for our appetizer, cacio e Pepe and the short rib agnolotti for our entree, and cannolis and espresso for dessert. The sauce was delicious on the meatballs and the meatballs themselves were tender and decent. The cacio e Pepe was very good and the agnolotti were rich and balanced (nice recommendation from our waitress). We had the mascarpone cannoli and I might go back just to eat them again (well done). The espresso was smooth and it came with a little biscotti. We were surprised by the quality and tasty items and look forward to our next visit. Food 9.0 Atmosphere 8.5 Service 9.0

    Arancini
    Victoria S.

    Someone recommended this place to me as a must see in Tampa, so I came to check it out. I came on a Saturday night without a reservation, this place was so busy and packed. Luckily, I was just one person, but it still took me 30 minutes to sit at the bar. The place is beautiful. The staff were very attentive. I started with the Arancini as recommended. Wow this is one of the best appetizers I've ever had. It was so good, I would come here just to eat this again. I also ordered a lobster pasta. It was cooked perfectly. Their drinks were also very good. I wish I could've tried more. I will definitely stop by here again the next time I'm in Tampa.

    Bolognese
    Mandisa T.

    I've been to the Olivia Tampa location multiple times, but this was my first time trying it out in St. Pete! Much like the Tampa location, the food and vibes were amazing. I usually get the cacio e Pepe but decided to try the bolognese and it was very, very good! Definitely a place to try out in Downtown St. Pete!

    Truly Unforgettable Culinary Journey at Red Thread…read more Our dinner at Red Thread was nothing short of spectacular -- a five-star experience from the moment we stepped through the door until the final sip of our after-dinner drink. We visited to celebrate a milestone birthday, and the team not only met but exceeded every expectation, weaving subtle, thoughtful surprises into the evening that made us feel truly special. The atmosphere is opulent yet completely approachable -- warm, intimate, and alive with cultural richness. You can feel the intention behind every detail: the plush banquettes adorned with intricately embroidered throw pillows, the soft glow of lantern-style lighting, and the perfectly placed gold-tipped cocktail picks that make even the smallest moment feel curated. It's elegant without pretense, like being welcomed into a beautifully kept secret along the Silk Road. Service was led by Katie and Elijah, who were nothing short of exceptional. Their warmth, precision, and deep knowledge of both the menu and the restaurant's rich aesthetic elevated the entire evening. They guided us with confidence, shared stories behind the dishes, and ensured every need was met before we even voiced it. Now, the food -- where do we begin? Red Thread delivers flavors that are bold, layered, and deeply authentic. We started with the spread and small bites platter, and it was immediately clear we were in for something extraordinary. The tabbouleh was bright and herb-forward, with finely chopped parsley, tomato, and bulgur kissed by lemon -- a perfect balance of freshness and zing. The falafel were golden-crisp on the outside, tender within, and served with a bright mint yogurt. So delish! For our mains: the salmon, seasoned with fragrant za'atar and resting atop creamy spanakorizo (spinach and rice), was cooked to buttery perfection. The addition of crumbled feta and a cooling lemon yogurt sauce brought a bright, tangy contrast that elevated every bite. The pork chop, served with tri-color potatoes and glazed in a rich port beurre rouge with rosemary and a whisper of parmesan, was magnificent -- juicy, deeply savory, and beautifully seared. And the beef short rib? Unbelievably tender, with a warm curry base, sweet-spicy melon kimchi, and saffron rice that perfumed the air. The cardamom chèvre melted into the mix, adding a creamy, floral depth that was nothing short of inspired. Every dish told a story -- of distant lands, ancient trade routes, and a chef who clearly treats spice like sacred heirloom. To know these flavors are crafted with spices imported directly from the regions that inspired them explains the unmatched authenticity in every bite. Red Thread stands alone in St. Petersburg -- not just in flavor, but in feeling. We'll be back -- no question -- to explore their brunch and dive deeper into this beautiful narrative they've created on a plate. To everyone reading: This is the kind of restaurant that deserves to be discovered, celebrated, and filled to capacity every single night. Go. Taste. Feel. Red Thread isn't just dinner -- it's a journey. And it's not to be missed.

She poked her head inside, she nodded back and the decision was made to visit COPA without a word. It was bustling on the inside with market goers passing through, but it was controlled chaos on the other side of the counter. The workers knew exactly what they were doing and even in busy time of the market they were quick to buss tables, get ordered items to customers fast and the bathroom was pristinely clean. The bumping A/C provided instant relief as we claimed the stools by the bar. My friends and I quickly agreed, this place is an absolute gem. So gorgeously decorated and the drinks, the mocktails, the pastry items, the food were beautiful and delicious. It really appeared they did everything well here. Service was impeccable and the side salad I ordered was so crisp and refreshing. Honestly 5 stars all around. The food, service, atmosphere and drinks were sensational and exceeded all expectations.
