OLIVIA St Pete

OLIVIA makes the most sense to us from the bar. The dining room is polished and dressed for special occasions. The bar has less ceremony, though the seats are first come and the wait can build. Once we sat down, the service was good and so were the cocktails.

The Caesar salad was great. The Neapolitan-style pizza was decent, so the salad won. The house-made pastas and tableside chicken Parmesan have more pull. Short-rib agnolotti and mini rigatoni are where we would go next.

We will definitely return for happy hour and sit at the bar. The Caesar stays in the order. The pizza can take the night off.
