It was an amazing experience and the food was delicious. And it was not that expensive. Would definitely recommend to all. If I had to say anything bad would be that some of the other guests were to loud.

Great food, but terrible, inattentive staff. Wait staff was actually standing around waiting for something to do, meanwhile we hadn’t been checked on for some time. We repeatedly had to flag someone down to get any sort of service. Very unimpressed.

It was one of my very good experience. It is very nice place to overview water front of Darling harbour. Good selection of pasta and pizza.

The food was awesome and the place was great. The only downside is that one male server was rude and has no customer service at all. A chubby, middle-eastern-looking guy. Watch his mouth

Food was OK. Chowder was too thick, steak was small for a fillet and the pasta was very average. Table service was very good. Would not rush back based on quality of food.

Very tasty food for a good price. Great lunch specials. The staff seemed a little bit unhappy with life basically. Lack of smiles and presentations of the food that was put down on our table. Not the best customer service, but anyway a nice experience. Beautiful view and nice venue.

Overall a great experience for our Valentine’s Day dinner, but we had to wait a while to make our initial order after sitting down. After a long day at work we were starving and had to flag someone down to take our order. It wasn’t even too busy either. Otherwise, a great experience.

Great service but very average food. Had expected better quality. Prices were ok. Loved the location on the harbour but shame about the Wheel blocking the view.

The food was lovely and value for money however the service let the evening down. Our drinks order for 4 came with drinks for three, we had to ask twice for the remaining drink. The drink finally arrived sometime later.

Good service, excellent food and lovely location. Had a great time dining there and watching the world go by. Also nice to be overlooking Darling Harbour. All in all a very pleasant evening with food being served within ample time for us to be able to comfortably attend a show at the Lyric Theatre.

We arrived, our booked table was ready and in a good location. The staff were courteous. The only problem was that we ordered a salad which did not arrive and we had to remind the staff. The weather helped 'make' the night.

Great location overlooking Darling Harbour. Friendly and helpful service. Menu accommodates all tastes - some classics like spaghetti marinara and other pasta dishes with interesting twists. Wine reasonably priced

We enjoyed a quick pre-theatre lunch on Sunday. The lunch menu was good value.. The baguettes were quite large and well filled, but we would have preferred a salad on the side.

We ordered kangaroo steak, angus steak, fish and chips, calamari, flowers of zucchini amongst us. Only the kangaroo steak was ok all the rest were pretty basic. On the plus side the service was polite and quick.

I was a little disappointed, we had to question a few times if we could sit inside as we had small children and it was cold outside. We were told no a handful of times as there were no tables inside. We ended up getting a table and the whole time we were there the restaurant was half empty anyway. They obviously just wanted to outside full for those passing by. Our order was taken sporadically so drinks and food came at different times. Our waitress was lovely

Restaurant atmosphere was good and menu selection was varied. Food was well presented, tasty and a good portion size. Wait staff were helpful, but could have taken our order a bit quicker given how quiet it was.

Food good, service average. The hostess was dressed inappropriately, although very nice. Maybe you could buy her a decent jacket so she looks like a manager/hostess. Our waitress didn't know which brand of mineral water you serve (San Pellegrino, one of the most famous brands in the world), but she was friendly and helpful. The food we had was very good however: kangaroo steak was a perfect medium rare, the mussels rated highly, and the antipasti plate was also nice.

Quick & friendly service, great food & cocktails with water views of Darling Harbour. 2 course dinner special where you can choose 95% off the menu is a plus! Second time I have dined here & Olivio doesn't disappoint.
