About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
Restaurant Olivia is a pasta-focused restaurant located in Denver’s Wash Park neighborhood. Olivia is the second project from chef Ty Leon, beverage guru Austin Carson, and hospitality maven Heather Morrison.

Each evening we open the doors to our restaurant as if it were our home, welcoming guests with warmth and graciousness. We believe you’ll feel our attention to hospitality the minute you step inside.

We draw inspiration from classic Italian dishes and the traditions that bring them to life, but we also feature flavors and recipes from around the world. Our food is made with care and intention. We source our ingredients from organic and local producers whenever possible. Our beverage program features expertly-crafted but playful cocktails, alongside an Italian-focused wine list.

We look forward to sharing with you our passion for outstanding food and service.

    A somewhat disappointing experience. We had a table for 2 and felt quite crowded, both by adjacent tables and items on the table. Wait staff was good but not exceptional, somewhat unapproachable. It was very noisy and difficult to have a conversation or communicate with the wait staff. Mixed greens and apple salad was quite good but serving size was somewhat small for the price. The burrata was good as was the bread but not enough bread to eat with the burrata. The tagliatelle was very good but not very warm. The onion ravioli was OK but also not warm. I expected a better all-around experience and will probably not return.

    The service was outstanding, the food was excellent. The eggplant entrée could’ve used a little pasta with it.
