Olivo in Olten

We had to wait 1.5 hours for our starter, a cold plate. Only after asking several times did it come. The food was served shortly afterwards. When I read here that the service was attentive, I wonder if I was in the same restaurant. Paying attention is something else. No apologies from anyone. I've had a completely different experience in other Italian restaurants. Been there once and that's it. There are better, cheaper Italians in Olten.

Has there been a change of chef or owner here? It's not like it used to be. RISOTTO OVERCOOKED AND SERVED RATHER AS RICE. PICCATA FROM THE FRYER. It's a shame and the service counterattacks the complaint.

the offer and prices are missing from your website!!!! edit your website!!!

Very well known and popular Italian restaurant. Vast menu with Italian specialities, very friendly staff, excellent quality cuisine and first choice ingredients. Pleasant environment, with open kitchen. Possibility to purchase some Italian specialties from a dedicated counter, near the entrance.

Fast service, everything was great

Freshly cooked and attentive service, varied menu! All of this in a beautiful atmosphere!

A nice place with a cozy atmosphere. However, the food was a big disappointment. Of the various dishes that the six of us ordered, only the pizza and the veal liver were good. The beef tartare looked like someone had thrown it up. The piccata looked good, but it didn't taste like piccata at all and the fries were cooked disastrously. If you can't fry fries properly, you probably shouldn't work in the kitchen anymore. Service started attentively but faded towards the end. We had to pour the wine ourselves after the first round, both for the white wine and the red wine for the main course. It's a shame that our anticipation was dampened by this experience. The trip from Interlaken to Olten was not worth it in terms of money or time.

Very friendly and attentive service. Food was very tasty and the portions were large. If you want Italian, freshly cooked dishes, I can recommend Olivio.

Mediocre Italian cuisine with pasta, pizza and meat. Service friendly but uncoordinated.

very lovely place, good wines, friendly team

Nice Italian restaurant, small but tasty lunch menu, good coffee, kind and fast staff. The kitchen chef itself goes through the tables to confirm that the food is good or if there is something that could be better.

Beautiful place, all the staff are quick in their work and offer excellent dishes and many different choices. They are also very kind, courteous and nice, excellent prices. Delicious desserts, all fresh and homemade.

A highly recommended Italian restaurant.

THE best Italian restaurant in Olten I've been to! Super friendly service and chefs, very, very tasty food! Fantastic desserts (even with their own dessert counter)! The boss of the house even went to every table and wished us and the other guests a good appetite. Great atmosphere, very clean - it couldn't be better! My family and I were absolutely happy! Just wow!!

The best restaurant in Switzerland if you are looking for real Sicilian food: -the best pizza dough you can get in Switzerland! -very inexpensive. The quality literally exceeds that. -super friendly service. You know everything about Italy.

The Olivo used to be great. There is new staff there now. We waited 1 hour for the food and the service is terribly incompetent. Unfortunately that was my last time there.

Authentic Italian ambience and food.

The wine is exquisite, the carbonara is not the last word. But the Olivo is definitely worth the visit

On the recommendation of the waiter I tried the pinsa with salsiccia and it was absolutely delicious. Service and quality of food 10/10.

I just left the restaurant. The terrace is beautiful, the ravioli are delicious. In an Italian restaurant the waitress doesn't speak Italian...expects two portions of ravioli 1 hour 30 minutes. Even if today is Monday. and how many people will wait 3 hours on Friday or what??? unacceptable. The tiramisu dessert we ordered was delivered on August 16th and today is August 21st. So we ate it 5 days later, 5 days later!! Which desserts last for 5 days???? 3 days maximum, but today was day 5 of this tiramisu. unfortunately not very impressive...

Great food. Pizza was great. Service courteous. Highly recommended

Extremely slow service, didnt notice us when they had to change the beer casket and left us waiting for 20 minutes. Food looked nice though.

The male waiter with a tattoo on his right arm up to the elbow was very grumpy. Me and my wife were the first customers inside the restaurant, but the customers who came after us were served first. There was a special table and all the staff took care of it. They spoke Italian and laughed. Her food came first. Unfortunately they discriminated between customers. As for the food, the calamari was partially burnt on the grill. I wouldn't recommend them. You sweetened our evening.

The best pinsa I've ever eaten. Definitely try it! Portions are quite large. Price-performance top! Homemade pasta can also be found on the menu. I can only recommend.

Well, even though I made a reservation, we would have had to sit outside in the blazing sun. The blonde lady was very snippy and arrogant. The darker lady at the bread barely says a word. Both seemed to be in a bad mood. The waiter was friendly. You didn't really feel welcome. Waited a long time for a lunch menu, food was pretty good. 1 drink too many was added to the bill. Unfortunately not my thing, what a shame!

Waited 45 minutes for 2 pizzas (during which it felt like 30 pizzas were distributed to other guests) Some came after us and left before we got our food. It was probably the only and last time. There was a dessert on the house, but that doesn't change the overall impression. A pity.

Very cozy, friendly staff and a fine tiramisu. Whether at lunch or in the evening the food tastes very good.

Food was ok but slightly burnt spots. Ambience is top. Prices are ok per person

Great service and excellent Pinsa. Thanks for the evening!

Super delicious Pinsa Margherita. The staff seems a bit tense, so they don't come across as friendly, but they try hard despite everything. Prices a bit high.

Classic Italian cuisine and not just pasta and pizza...

Best Pinsa Romana in the world! Friendly service and fantastic food. Both at lunchtime and in the evening! When the weather is nice, I recommend an aperitif platter on the terrace.

Super delicious pizza. One of the best there is in Olten. Very friendly and attentive service. Everything was perfect during our visit. I can with a clear conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes delicious pizza.

Great food in a very nice restaurant with great lighting

Excellent restaurant that enhances Italian culture in all its facets, from the cafeteria to the pinsa through a unique and refined cuisine. It is not easy to find places of this caliber, I highly recommend it to those who want to make a good impression perhaps with their partner or for a business lunch. Prices in the local average. I highly recommend it.

The best resti in Olten..Great carbonara and the caponata is world class😋, like Rita and Salvi who throw the service👍

Food was very fine. Ambience not that great as tables are too close together. But that's not so bad.

I like several things about Olivo: the tables in front of the restaurant, the showcase next to the bar with Italian specialties, the dining room in the atrium, the open view of the kitchen, cleanliness everywhere and the friendly staff who are also in the mood to have fun. What more do you want? And the exhibited finds from the Roman vicus, on which the 'Olivo' is located, are also worth a visit.

Top Pizza,friendly Service & nice Atmosphere right in the centre of town

We just missed the glass of water with our coffee, otherwise we would have actually been in Bella Italia - at least from a culinary point of view!

Excellent pizzas for both the palate and the eyes, served by very courteous, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I absolutely recommend you try it!

Reserved a table at the Olivo restaurant. Very joyful atmosphere, service to be envied, tasty and very well presented dishes

Beautiful open and tidy kitchen, very good pizza and friendly wait staff is available…

Delicious pizzas, friendly staff. A bit expensive.

Heure table reservation is a total failure

Not recommendable. Service unfriendly. Typically southern. Should stay in Italy

Great service and great authentic food. They also sell their own pasta. The meals we had were very tasty and we will definitely come again

I've been to this restaurant several times without children and yesterday was the first time. The food was consistently good but the service staff was annoyed. Either the service staff was overloaded or it was actually because we came with children. Either way, the family atmosphere of an Italian restaurant was not there

The food was great, but the service was as bad and unfriendly as we have ever experienced... It's a shame, because going to a restaurant is no fun and it also spoils the food... Addendum: It was a middle-aged lady with blonde hair. We were there twice and both times it was the same. But basically good food and nice atmosphere...it's a shame...

Food was brought quickly. Service very unfriendly. We were ignored for half an hour until she finally served us again. --- Addendum: +2 stars, the gentleman at the counter took our complaint seriously and offered us food.

Excellent restaurant, good price, good price Real Italian cuisine Excellent mixed salad as a starter

Waited over 2 hours for food. A blonde hair in the bread basket. Tablecloth torn. Red wine in white wine glass Unfriendly!!!!

The carbonara was very tasty. Original recipe as ed must be Cozy atmosphere and good service. Come back 👍

Very nice restaurant, the food was good too, but the portions were way too small. Man won't eat, what a shame! Prices too high for a bit of pasta. Meat, well, everything but no meat was too thin.

It's a shame that the advertised tomato spaghettis were suddenly served as a different type of pasta. It doesn't really matter, but a declaration of the operation would certainly be appropriate here.🤔

We were lucky to get a table in the Olivio restaurant this Saturday, even though we hadn't made a reservation. We ordered pasta twice and tomato soup or mixed salad, and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was to our utmost satisfaction. The service was quick and competent. The prices were justified. The restaurant is modern, beautifully decorated, centrally located. We'd love to come back.

Thanks to reservation we got a table outside. Good service (the waiter was absolutely great, the waitress, well...), very tasty food, prices a little higher than usual in Olten but absolutely justified. Birthday dessert, aperitif, all wishes were taken into account, an all-round successful evening. We'll definitely come back.

I've been here at Olivo several times. I wanted to pay by card and it didn't work. Then I went to another restaurant and it was fine. Maybe he put the card on it wrong. If you put the card on it incorrectly there is a loud beep sound and if you put it on it correctly there is a quiet beep sound.

They make better pizza at Olten train station than at Olivo Ristorante. I strongly advise against this restaurant. Food came burnt! To which the waiter said, I'm sorry. Unfortunately he wasn't the one who paid for the burnt pizza.

Everything was excellent, I felt like I was in Italy. Compliments to the kitchen staff

Unfortunately, the osso bucco wasn't braised for long enough. I love it when it falls apart. Risotto and wine were great. Prices tend to be in the upper range.

Yesterday's food was generally delicious. However, there aren't enough vegetarian options for my taste. My 10-year-old son had saffron tortelloni for 24 francs. When he wasn't satisfied with it and I asked for a second helping, they actually charged me an additional 22 francs for half a portion of tortelloni!!! In other words, in order for my son to be fed, I had to shell out 46 francs?!?!? I think it's understandable that I won't go there anymore......

Artistic and delicious pizzas, chef Benanti and his staff are top of the top. Excellent 7 star service.......Numbers 1

Poor service at lunch and exorbitant prices

Pizza would actually be good. Good ingredients, price OK but Pizzaiolo unfortunately incompetent. Tested 3 times, burned each time. Very unfortunate.

Very fine Italian food. Friendly service 👍

My friend and I went to Olivo for dinner spontaneously yesterday - without a reservation. It was wonderful. Ambiance noble and cozy. Authentically Italian. The staff was very friendly. The food was of top quality, was lovingly prepared and the mixed salad was bomb. My fish was filleted in front of me and the pasta dough was thin and homemade.

The food is amazing and the staff are simply amazing

Upscale Italian restaurant. Friendly service, and the fillet was 100% cooked to the desired cooking point 👍

Great antipasti platter and generally good Italian food. Friendly service. Waited a little long for the food, but at least it was worth it.

CHF 24 for a handful of Gniocci with “cream sauce” specially driven from the office to Olten and then THAT! Forgot sauce and this half portion. My day is over.

actually doesn't deserve a star!!!

Location and facilities are top. Restaurant offers Italian specialties (from morning to night, desserts etc). The prices are far too high for a restaurant in Olten and the food has been unsatisfactory for my taste several times. I wrote the review based on my personal feelings and taste.

We are excited. Pizza fresco, vino bene, service top

Real and very large Italian pizza, original Italian desserts and other dishes like fish in Italy! Great Italian Gelati, best risotto ever, great wines! Very nicely furnished, cozy and familiar! Outside seating

Excellent restaurant, attentive service and pleasant environment, refined dishes, fair price.

Very good food 👍🏼very friendly and attentive service 🌹

Friendly service and very good food

The tiramisu was incredibly good💯

The best pizza in Niederbipp. The boss has it under control! Thank you very much.

Wow a very very good pizza. If you like Neapolitan pizza, you've definitely come to the right place. The service is also very nice. Team Olive Thank you for a great experience and I will definitely come by again.

Original, not overloaded selection of pizzas. Tastes very good. Attentive serving staff.

Very nice restaurant Was just eating there for coffee next time

Das Lokal ist ungewöhnlich gestaltet, modern, aber ich finde das schön, und die Pizzas sind recht sehr gut obwohl dies zum Teil auch Geschmackssache ist.

Very good restaurant. The food is very good. Especially the Pizza Roma style. 🤤 Other plus points: Ambience stylish and pleasant. Service friendly and competent. That's how it's fun. If you can watch in the kitchen. 😄

Hervorragendes italienisches Essen im Herzen von Olten. Service, Essen und Weinkarte waren top. Hausgemachte Pasta und frisch zubereitete Gerichte in einer offenen Küche zubereitet.Ristorante Olivo hat unsere Erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen, bravo!

(Traducido por Google) Estaba decepcionado porque esperaba un espíritu más entusiasta en el servicio, más eficiente y cortés. Organicé una merienda para siete y gasté CHF 290. Esperaba que la mesa estuviera preparada y que la merienda durara media hora hasta que llegara. Entonces el servicio más allá de lo normal. L empleados desinteresados ​​y desorientados y uno de esos impropios y falsos. Tampoco he recibido un servicio tan insuficiente en Italia. Nunca volveré a poner un pie en este lugar. Soy un poco exigente y eso es todo. (Original) Sono stato deluso perche mi aspettavo più spirito più entusiastico sul servizio, più performante e cortese. Ho organizzato un spuntino per sette persone ed abbiamo speso 290 CHF. Mi aspettavo che il tavolo che sia preparato ed anche il spuntino ha durato una mezzora finché ed arrivato. Poi il servizio al di la del normale. L impiegati disinteressati, disorientati ed uno di coloro scostumato ed falso. Ne anche in italia ho ricevuto un servizio cosi insufficiente. Non metterò più un piede in questo locale. Sono un po esigente ed e tutto.

Wir waren im Rahmen eines Geschäftsessen im Olivo. Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich und auf Zack. Alles an Antipasti, Pizza, Fischsuppe und Nudeln war ausgezeichnet.Ich habe selten so hervorragend italienische Küche genießen dürfen. Ich kann die Lokalität daher uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
