Olivia
Olivia is an Italian restaurant in the Eiganes og Våland neighborhood that serves classic dishes made with fresh, quality ingredients prepared from scratch. The interior is warm and cozy, decorated with pictures and objects that tell stories, and the smell of fresh bread and herbs greets you as you enter.
The restaurant was founded by three women who wanted to create an Italian family atmosphere in Norway, establishing a place where people could gather around a table as they do in Italy. Since then, it has become an established part of the local scene, earning its place through consistent quality and friendly service.
The name Olivia reflects the Italian tradition of gathering people around a table to share meals and conversation. The restaurant was founded by three women who wanted to create a family-like atmosphere inspired by Italy, and this approach remains visible today in how guests linger over food and enjoy each other's company.
The restaurant offers private rooms for special occasions and groups, providing a quiet space to gather without interruption. There is also the Olivia a casa service for takeout orders, and an express location called Olivia on the go at Oslo Central Station for quick, fresh meals.
The restaurant hosts cultural events such as opera nights and maintains connections to Italian vineyards and workshops that it shares with guests. These deeper ties to Italian tradition go beyond food and offer genuine cultural experiences.
