Tampa Trip 2๏ผFood Guide: Italian Restaurant Olivia
#WeekendGetaway On our first night in Tampa, we headed to the famous Olivia restaurant to fill our stomachs ๐ฝ๏ธ Extremely popular โ make sure to book in advance! ๐ Address: see the last image for Google Maps pin ๐ Great atmosphere, filled with both locals and tourists. Prices are reasonable โ much nicer than New York! Since we had a large group, we ordered almost every dish recommended on Xiaohongshu: ๐ Truffle Fries ($8) โ Very fragrant, highly recommended! ๐ Wagyu Beef Tartare ($14) โ Super recommended! (Itโs raw โ I didnโt try, but everyone else loved it.) ๐ค Fritto Misto ($20) โ Extremely recommended! A delicious mix of halibut, shrimp, calamari, and scallops (we finished it in seconds!). ๐ Honey and Ham Pizza ($18) โ A must-try! Huge portion, 5-star recommendation! Sweet and savory combo โ unique and delicious ๐ ๐ฆ Lobster Squid Ink Pasta ($24) โ Seasoning was great, but the pasta itself was too firm and not flavorful. Just okay for me. ๐ Spaghetti Bolognese โ Probably the least exciting dish. Very average โ not recommended. ๐ฅฉ Filet Mignon โ Very nice, can order. ๐ Halibut โ A friend ordered it; said it was decent. Their desserts are all amazing โ the mango sorbet is especially delicious! ๐ง We were a group of 5, spent $385 including tip, were totally stuffed, and even had leftovers! Overall, definitely worth a visit when youโre in Tampa ๐ #Tampa #TampaFood #TampaTravel #TampaBay #Florida #ItalianRestaurant #ItalianCuisine #Foodie #HiddenGemRestaurant #FoodPhotography #RestaurantRecommendations #VibeDining ๐ด๐ฎ๐นโจ
