    Chicken dinner with stuffing, gravy
    Catherine R.

    What a gem! First visit . We both got the Lemon Chicken Soup...perfection. Fresh, warm pita bread brought to the table. He got the chicken dinner with stuffing and gravy and a side of traditional Greek potatoes. Excellent. I got the Greek Combo dinner and it was fantastic. Stuffed grape leaves, Moussaka, Spanokopesda, Pastitsio...so, so good. We split a piece of Baklava warmed and extra honey drizzled over. Service was great, ambiance is warm and homey - lots of Greek pride. We will most definitely be back.

    Gyro.
    Hester A.

    Olympic Cafe has always been a favorite of mine while visiting Anna Maria Island and Holmes Beach. However, sad to say, this time was the exception. The ambiance is definitely Greek with lots of Greek memorabilia on the walls. The service was excellent although they were closed unexpectedly the day before due to a staffing issue. The food wasn't up to its usual standards. The Gyro was dry and the cabbage roll was tasteless. I won't be back this trip, but I will give them another shot when we're back in the new year. To bad as our party expands tomorrow to ten people.

    Large Greek Salad
    Art C.

    Great Greek Salad I love Greek salads, the dressing carries such bold flavor. Include some feta cheese and kalamata olives and you have an explosion of good tastes, and there is so much more. From traditional to whatever other ingredients work, it is a bowl of bright colors and flavors. Lettuce, no lettuce, onions for sure, as are tomatoes and cukes. The one I had today from Olympic Café even had a few banana peppers. I fondly remember one where there was a scoop of potato salad on top. The Greek Salad I had at Olympic Café ranks very well. It was on a deep plate or a shallow bowl, looking very attractive. I enjoyed making the whole thing disappear. The last part, swimming in dressing, was the best part for me. Where's my spoon? I liked the place and the service was friendly and good. The tables are close together, like pre-covid spacing, I hope we don't go back to that too soon. They also added a small service charge for using a credit card. I didn't look at the menu, maybe it disclosed that. I found out when I went up pay.

    Pita appetizer

    The salad is very big and the pita appetizer was delicious. The service was very good too.

    Wholesome family restaurant; very busy but still great service. They were very accommodating to making changes to meals for the little ones (just bowl of plain pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese, and fries). The portions are pretty hearty, most of us had leftovers to take home. The eggplant Parmesan was filling and tasty. Definitely recommend getting the gyros platter.

    Was looking for a Greek diner with Gyros, this place was great! Great service. The interior quaint but could use update. But def worth the trip. Portions big also

Our server was excellent, going so far as to check on us regularly and even to box up our food at the end of the meal. The food, however, was the best part! It tasted very authentic, and the portions were incredibly generous. I'm originally from up north between Philly and Pennsylvania, so we had good pizza up there all the time. But finding pizza that's good down here is very hard to do. I can confidently say Scarpinos' pizza may not only be the best in Bradenton, but the best I've ever had anywhere, including Chicago and New York! I will definitely be eating there again and often. If you're looking for a fantastic authentic Italian experience, we can't recommend this place enough!

Once seated, the waiter was very attentive throughout the entire meal. To start our meal, we ordered a a plate of the calamari, which were ok, maybe a bit more rubbery than I like. Side salads were brought out after, which were ok, nothing great, very basic. They also brought some tasty, warm garlic rolls/knotts with the salads. For my entree, I had a tough time deciding, there were a lot of good options on the menu, but I was really interested by the Cacio E Pepe, but it is only available as a meal for (2) which seemed a bit excessive. My brother and I decided to get it together, along with a side of sausage to add some protein to the meal. I've seen videos of pasta made with in a cheese wheel online several times, and have wanted to try it, but this has been my first opportunity. They bring out the cooked pasta, and prepare it in the cheese wheel at the table, which was an added bit of fun for the dining experience. overall it was a fun and tasty meal. Got to try something I've been wanting to for a while. One warning, the restaurant is basically just one large room, so it can get a bit loud, depending on the crowd and how busy it is. But I'd go back, and would recommend this spot to other as well.

Our wait staff Jennifer was very good and courteous. It was just the two of us and we each order our own Pizzas if you compare my pizza photo from my last visit to today's you'll see what I mean. Either the oven was too high or the pizza oven chef was overwhelmed because as I looked around ours weren't the only ones really dark. I did mention it to the wait staff and she was more than apologetic but it's not her fault. Anyway, I will probably be back and specify "light on top" you want the crust to have a bite not a chew that's tough. I know that sometimes you just have an off night. Pretty hard to screw up a cheese pizza tho. Sigh.

Came with several large shrimp, Spinach was uncut and still had stems, massive leaves of uncut spinach - too much, not cooked down. The spinach almost ruined the dish, and frankly the prices for the pasta and chicken dishes are high for a place that keeps napkin dispensers on the tables. Service was okay. We were one of four tables and there were two servers. Had to flag down for refills. She was never available - counting her tip money at the counter. Had to ask for a plate. This seems to be more of a pizza place... wouldn't recommend it otherwise.
