A changing menu of Mediterranean cooking is offered with signature cocktails in rustic surrounds.
"Olivia, a Mediterranean-themed restaurant rebranded from NoPa Kitchen + Bar, has closed due to plummeting foot traffic. The restaurant featured Picasso replicas, white sails, and Hermes fabric-lined banquettes. It received glowing reviews for dishes like Moroccan pastries, cod rillettes, and roasted eggplant with pickled raisins. Plans are in place to reopen in a different location." - Tierney Plumb
"If you took a few row homes, opened them into one large space, and then styled them with a modern maritime sensibility (draped netting with large glass jugs), you'd have Olivia. From its white painted brick to its Edison bulb light fixtures, Olivia has a relaxed and modern elegance. Feel like throwing a party? The cute private rooms with floral themes are just the place. Like the European-focused wine list, dotted with Sicilian, Greek and French bottles, the menu skips around the continent. Chickpea ravioli, with a melange of mushrooms for a twist on bolognese, displays creativity, while the Galician-style octopus carpaccio is another keeper. Wrapped in Serrano ham and thinly sliced to resemble charcuterie, it's both tender and flavorful." - The MICHELIN Guide
"This new-ish western Mediterranean restaurant from Ashok Bajaj offers a chilled cucumber and green chickpea gazpacho with tzatziki, za’atar, and lavash crumble ($10). Come July, Olivia will up its gazpacho game with four rotating Gazpacho y Torta specials at weekday lunch, kicking off with a watermelon-heirloom tomato gazpacho with burrata and salsa de tomate torta ($16)." - Tierney Plumb

"The Mediterranean cooking here draws inspiration from countries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Its burrata is served warm with a spicy green zhug sauce — common in Yemeni cooking — and garlic breadcrumbs." - Travis Mitchell
