Bar Olio — Restaurant in Dusseldorf

We got there expecting a long queue but no-one was waiting. However, we had to wait for around 10 min till the waiters realised we were there; they saw us when we arrived there but somehow they just didn't care we were waiting. Then, they approached us in a very arrogant way that I felt they were making us a favor. Once inside, they put us in a table where another couple was already sitting, ... we all were sitting very close to each other...something very unpleasant. It seems it is a normal rule in this restaurant and they just dont care about covid pandemic measures. Inside we waited for another 10 min till someone spotted us and brought the menu, still in the same arrogant way. We then decided to have just a drink and eat something small because we didn't feel well in such an environment. At the end, we asked the bill, paid and didn't want to leave any tip but the waiter didn't bring us back the change. We waited a bit but nothing. We then left very disappointed and confused. We will never go back to this place for sure. There are plenty of good options in town. Hope our experience helps anyone that wants to go...

We came to Bar Olio twice before, to get some beers while exploring the area. This time, we came for dinner. Even on a Tuesday, this place was packed. We waited for 20 minutes or so, and then got our cozy table. The menu is on chalkboards, and the servers aren’t especially fluent in English.. but with our little German language ability and the patient and outgoing staff, we made some great menu picks.

Starters were a basket of bread, plus mackerel sashimi and salmon belly sashimi. Halibut steak, Dorado Fillet, Spaghetti Vongole. The sashimi dishes were fantastic- bright flavors and textures. The main dishes were good as well, my Spaghetti Vongole was very strong with garlic, the clams were nice, and the noodles were firm with a good flavor.. just how I like it. The other entrees were well...
