    For all the hype on social media, this place doesn’t quite hit the spot. Came here for the set lunch menu, with high hopes for the tiramisu but it was subpar and was soggy for far too long — you get a better version at Harris Farm. Squid ink pasta was likely the only other interesting dish, but also nothing to warrant a repeat visit. Ambience wise, you would think a place like that would have the vibes right but it was really noisy, feeling like a canteen instead of a restaurant

    We went to Olio for Mum's birthday and we had the $59 per person menu but be aware everything else is an add on. The shoulder lamp cup was tiny pieces of lamb on the plate terrible choice the smallest portion I have ever seen served in a restaurant. Very disappointed as the rest of the main menu was a little bit better. The dessert were a choice of Tiramisu's and gelato, not a very generous serving however the tiramisu was unlimited which my son thought was very cool. The atmosphere was good and service on point. I doubt I will return though because overall we didn't see as good value for money. We left still quite hungry.

    We did their $59 lunch set menu, can't say I expected anything huge and fancy...but it was in fact really good! Everything cooked to perfection, lovely service staff and fast service. Also not too heavy on upselling which can be annoying at some restaurants. I'll definitely come back!

    Food quality and service were outstanding, staff were very attentive and friendly. The food tasted great. We both had the set menu for lunch at $59 per person, and whilst the unlimited tiramisu was excellent value for money, we both felt the main dishes were a little light on in the serving size. Would definitely recommend and would come back again.

    What an amazing evening from start to finish. A very thank you to the Olio team for making our evening so special and thoroughly enjoyable. The service was exceptional, with the polite and friendly host and staff, the food was divine, from antipasto to desert, and the intimate facade amplified the ambience that made the experience both beautiful and unique. With the mad rush that was the Vivid Lights festival in the background, the Olio team delivered a warm and comfortable evening that made my wife and I feel right at home, thank you Olio team.
