" This was my first visit to Olio, and I must say, I was hugely impressed. The restaurant had a welcoming charm with its botanical decor. What really stood out to me was the authenticity in the flavor profiles of the dishes. The hummus is some of the best I've had, making it hard to determine why I've waited this long to visit. However, for the prices they charge, I would expect larger portions. Otherwise, an all-around positive experience that I will surely recommend to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Olio was one of the highlights of my recent trip. The restaurant not only serves delicious food but also provides an immersive dining experience with its beautiful decor and layout. The sangria was refreshing and paired perfectly with the array of small plates we ordered. My favorites were definitely the hummus and stuffed grape leaves. While everything tasted incredible, I did feel the small plates were on the pricier side, especially given that I left feeling slightly underwhelmed by the quantity. Overall, though, it’s a wonderful place that I can’t wait to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Olio wasn't quite what I expected. The outdoor setting was beautiful, making for a wonderful evening, but the food was disappointing. Although the flavors were decent, I felt it lacked authenticity and depth compared to other Mediterranean restaurants I've enjoyed. Service was friendly but a bit slow, especially given how empty the restaurant was during my visit. Overall, I think Olio has potential, but I left feeling underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried a few Mediterranean places, but Olio stands out. Their food is bursting with flavor, especially the chicken shawarma, which is among the best I've ever had. The outdoor seating was lovely, just perfect for a warm evening. However, there was quite a wait for our food despite not being overly busy. But the staff was friendly and apologized for the delay, which softened the blow. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for delicious Mediterranean dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a cozy Mediterranean spot and stumbled upon Olio. It did not disappoint! The ambiance was appealing, enhanced by warm lighting and greenery. The food was quite good, particularly the generous serving of tatziki and delicious hummus, though some dishes were smaller than expected. Service was quick and helpful. Overall, a delightful visit that I recommend for anyone craving Mediterranean flavors in a relaxing setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Olio after hearing so many positive things. The setting is beautiful and inviting, but I was a little let down when the food arrived. The flavors were good, but I expected more depth. The cocktails were unique and elevated my overall experience, but I think portions were a touch small for the price. That said, the outdoor dining area was idyllic, making it a great spot for a summer night. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're searching for a fun place to indulge in fresh Mediterranean cuisine, Olio is a solid choice. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent service. The atmosphere is casual and vibrant, perfect for group dining or a casual date. The drinks menu is innovative, complementing the offerings nicely. While we wish the dishes were a little more substantial for the price, we'd definitely return wanting to try more from their diverse menu. " (*Curated Review*)
