The food and service was excellent. A great menu especially the Gnocchi with Porcini Mushrooms. A very good wine list with reasonable pricing but a reserve cellar list too. Would highly recommend.

We did the tasting menu for $128pp, and the experience was just incredible. The quality of every product, every flavour, and every dish was absolutely perfect. My partner and I love trying this kind of tasting menu, and this one was, by far, the best we’ve had in years. Ramon also made the experience even more special by beautifully explaining the history of the restaurant, its background and goals, as well as all the details behind each dish. His explanations really elevated the whole experience to another level. The chef even came to our table to make sure we were enjoying everything, which was a lovely touch. In summary, we highly recommend Olio. Definitely one of the best food experiences we’ve had in Sydney! ❤️

Terrific authentic Italian food. Great friendly and efficient service. Good range of standard and special menu items and drinks. Reasonable prices given quality and good size servings. Basic fitout provides casual vibes but can be noisy when full.

We had such an amazing dining experience at Vivo 78! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was intimate and inviting, and the staff were lovely and attentive. Our server recommended the bruschetta prosciutto, and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend!

    Friendly and helpful staff, very personable. Delicious negronis with a range of interesting options. Food especially the focaccia and the pastas were sooo good. Gorgeous interior and great spots outside if the weather is good.
