Olivia opened the doors for the first time at Aker Brygge, Norway in 2006 with the ambition to offer the best flavors from It ... aly. Olivia was started from a heartfelt genuine love of Italy and Italian cuisine, focusing on authentic ingredients and the pleasure of sharing a meal with friends and family. The entrepreneurs wanted to create a feeling, like visiting Aunt Olivia's home in Piedmont, the smells of cheese and ham, happy and passionate voices, warmth from the fire in the pizza oven and lots of candles. That mood says a lot about how we want Olivia to be, for both the guests and our employees. All the food we serve is authentic Italian and is made from scratch in our restaurants.The menu that is the core of all Olivia restaurants is stone oven baked, thin, crispy pizza, classic pasta dishes and antipasti. We provide the best Italian produced commodities and wine from smaller, family-run producers in Italy. All Olivia restaurants are unique and inspired by our Italian favorite cities; At Aker Brygge we travel to Naples, in Hegdehaugsveien to busy Rome, Olivia Tjuvholmen is inspired by the canal city of Venice, Østbanehallen looks to magnificent Milan, Solsiden of Trondheim has Florence as inspiration and, for Bergen, we have chosen beautiful Sicily. Our restaurant in Stavanger is inspired by Portofino. Olivia in Gothenburg, Avenyn 1 is our first restaurant in Sweeden, and is already a success. In Oslo we add a new member to the Olivia-family, with Pronto di Olivia. Pronto di Olivia will serve quality take-away products for people on the go! We are very excited about the future, looking forward to bring Olivia to new cities and countries. We are voted one of Great Place to Work to one of norways best work-places. This makes us proud, and we are known for our good culture and family-feeling between our empoyees. read more
