Good cocktails. Delicious small plates. Great atmosphere.

For a quick glass of wine and delicious flatbreads, this is the place to go. The interior and exterior offer a cool antique experience

2/16/2017

Service was lacking but food was exceptional. Cocktails could be a tad bit stronger for the price. Cozy place.

I wish this place was here back when I lived in StL. Amazing Hummus plates! It has a really hip atmosphere, and I love having a late lunch meeting here when the place is calm and quiet. Wait staff is really laid back and friendly.

Great atmosphere, food is very fresh and elegantly presented. Great ingredients. Dim, mood lighting and very interesting setting in a defunct garage. Absolutely recommended

One of the best cocktail bars in the city and an outstanding restaurant as well. Rotating list of drinks has something for everyone. If not, just describe what you're looking for and the bartender will concoct something special for you. Location is cozy and hip with a small turntable belting out an eclectic mix of tunes. Staff have always been exceptional, making this a local treasure.

I love Olio. It is one of my favorite places to go grab a drink and relax. I know the drinks will always be fantastic, and the staff is always helpful and ready to make a recommendation. I am a big fan of the famous egg salad and their hummus plates.

5/7/2017

The food is unique and super flavorful. It's got an electric vibe​as well.

Order lots of stuff to share and try.

A smartly renovated historic gas station restaurant serves delicious Mediterranean cuisine. The bread is baked outdoors in a wood - heated oven in the patio area. I enjoyed a unique open - faced egg salad sandwich appetizer (4 for $9) and a tagine of root vegetables over curried rice ($12). I enjoyed walking into the attached restaurant next door, the Elaia.

5/7/2017

Olio is the lower-priced, bohemian sister of Elaia. I believe it's a converted gas station. The decorations are cool but it's crowded and loud. Their hummus lamb dish is pretty incredible.

7/8/2017

Great food, at great prices. The lemonade is a must try, sweet with a little secret weapon. Great selection for vegetarians. Everything is delicious.

Sat outside, which was a nice treat despite the heat.

7/8/2017

Great ambiance, friendly staff, and phenominal menu. Didn't have anything that was not spectacular! Must go to if you haven't been! Can't wait until I get to return!

7/8/2017

Amazing Mediterranean cuisine with different selections prepares to anyone's particular taste. Great place for cocktails as well.

7/8/2017

Its a wonderful place to hangout with friends especially with kids. I like the restaurant setting cos it privides you both the personal and group area. Food is good too!

8/10/2017

Great place for bougie tapas. Very fresh, super cute, very accommodating to our large group but also kind of romantic. Whiskey choices were questionable but good wine and food.

8/10/2017

beautiful cozy modern atmosphere. gorgeous picture worthy food presentations. perfect generous portions.

8/10/2017

Fantastic offerings and reasonably priced. It's an old gas station that has been turned into a unique and memorable restaurant.

9/13/2017

Olio has a great atmosphere, very laid back and hip vibe. Cocktails were great with a nice wine selection. Plates are delicious and portions are just right. A little overpriced to deserve 5 stars, however I'd pay to go back.

9/13/2017

Very limited menu. Also, need to learn how to make craft cocktails. I don't understand the appeal.

10/13/2017

One hears often that a restaurant is "different" and the difference is their french fries have a thinner cut.

This place is different in a major and good way. Order the Turkish pizza (More of a meat pie) and order the baked cauliflower. It's almost a religious experience.

11/16/2017

We had an excellent lunch at Olio- the waitress was extremely knowledgeable and kind and the food was INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend

11/16/2017

The quality of service is all over the board sometimes excellent sometimes not so great

12/16/2017

Fantastic atmosphere and incredible food. Everything tasted very fresh and flavorful. Only downfall was that I had a large party of 14 people and the service was lacking. They should have provided two waiters but instead they had one and we had multiple mishaps.

12/16/2017

Olio had a great atmosphere. Friendly staff, and quick service. We ordered a bunch of small plates to share. All of the dishes did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. Will definitely come back.

1/18/2018

Most delicious, authentic Mediterranean cuisine, using fresh ingredients and warm bread made from their own stove ovens. The staff was very friendly, and the setting was very warm and inviting. It will definitely become a "must-go-to" on all my future trips to St. Louis!

1/18/2018

Awesome atmosphere, small plates, wine selection, and cocktails. We always go for wine and small plates and it’s perfect. One of my favorite places in the area

1/18/2018

Love this place! Our fave restaurant in St Louis so far - hummus is to die for and the cocktails are fabulous. They know what they’re doing all around!

2/18/2018

I went here late one night after I'd gotten off work. I had a desire for a brandy-old-fashioned (I'm from Wisconsin originally.) I asked the bartender, Chris, if he'd be willing to make one as it wasn't on the cocktail menu. He said he'd be delighted to. It was as good as my grandmother would have made it. The conversation with Chris and Stella was equally as delightful. A+

2/18/2018

Amazing Mediterranean food. The Pita bread alone will ruin your perception of any similar restaurant. I also recommend the cauliflower, lamb hummus & pickled veggies. There is a constantly rotating menu of creative mixed drinks. The lighting is a bit low for my taste and it can get a bit loud, but the food will absolutely justify your visit.

3/19/2018

Cute little restaurant inside on old mechanic garage. The chicken is phenomenal. Good place for a nice casual meal

3/19/2018

A jewel of Saint Louis dining. Limited but amazing heavily Israeli menu. Everything we had was delicious with the octopus topping all of the other plates we ordered.

If there were any distractions it would be became a little overpriced (but the food made it worth it) and the service, while very friendly, was running a little behind at peak time.

Been there before, still definitely be back. While not quaint (to busy/close quarters for that) is say this would be a great date destination, but they can accommodate small groups as well. If you want something besides great Italian or other typical STL offering stop on into Olio!

4/20/2018

Food was delicious. Very creative with the flavors. My wife had the trout sandwich and it was tremendous. My Turkish pizza was excellent also. Great cocktail options too.

5/20/2018

Great food, great atmosphere. That said, oh boy, we came on quite the day for terrible service. Again, the food is worth the trip for sure. We must have waited 25 minutes for the check while the waitress and busboy talked nonchalantly right next to us. Unsure why, everyone working here was pretty absent minded. I want to like this place more, but my god. I was half inclined to print my own receipt out---nobody was paying attention.

5/20/2018

I've never had anything bad @ Olio. The food, drinks, and service are all top-notch. Small place, be prepared to park on the street, enjoy the patio in good weather!

5/20/2018

Good atmosphere, limited menu options, great food though! Pricing is reasonable, would expect more for what you pay for.

6/20/2018

Nice hip interior that used to be a car garage. We just came in for dessert, which was pretty good. The service was average. It seemed that there were too many people working for the amount of customers in there. I would try again, perhaps for dinner.

6/20/2018

I have never had worse service at a restaurant. Ever. It doesn't even matter what the good was like, after sitting for 45 minutes waiting for our food, with no one checking on us, we finally asked, what the delay was. They never ever put our order for food in.

I won't even comment on the other inconveniences throughout the evening that made it unpleasant.

I will never, ever eat here again.

7/23/2018

Not your conventional restaurant. Olio has gastronomy style Mediterranean, mixing textures and flavors for more refined tastes. I enjoyed their food, but my company was outside of their comfort zone with the style of cuisine. Atmosphere was very laid back.

7/23/2018

Stunningly good food seemingly no matter what you order in a modern setting. Try the Jerusalem Bagel, Tuscan Kale Salad or really... just about anything

8/24/2018

One of my favorite places to eat in St Louis for a quick small plate and drink. The chef does an amazing job with both vegetarian and meat-based items. The bartender is always developing new craft cocktails. There spritzer is a great idea especially if you want to try something new.

8/24/2018

Set your phone down right now. Don't bother with any other restaurants. Try this place right now. It's a small cozy place with extraordinary flavors. The Israeli bruschetta was crunchy and the tomatoes juicy. The turkey thighs was fall off the bone and juicy. Mixed with the rice and sauces it is absolutely fantastic. Service was phenomenal but even if it was lousy I would still eat here again and again.

8/24/2018

Are you in St. Louis? Don't worry how you got there. Go to Olio now. Delicious food, great bread. Chicken meatballs and egg salad toast especially. Quaint place. Fully stocked bar.

8/24/2018

Adorable patio. Great cocktails, wine and food. LOVED the watermelon feta salad and lamb sandwich. Elia, the sister restaurant upstairs, is also incredible - try the tasting menu for special occasions.

9/24/2018

Really disappointed with their spritz hour. Most of what was in the tiny glass was ice, and the spritz was mediocre at best. Service was not great as well. They were not very busy, and it took the server 10 minutes or more to get back to us to take our order. The people I was with mentioned they have a good experience here about 50% of the time. This was not one of those times. The saving grace here was their hummus. Interesting and tasty, but pricy. Not worth coming back I think.

9/24/2018

Great little place. Cozy. Fun and different menu. Seeing how busy the place usually is is evidence enough of how great it is!

10/25/2018

Fresh and tasty dishes. Friendly and helpful service. I would definitely going back there again!!

11/25/2018

We went to this restaurant a few times when this place first opened up, and recently decided to go back again. I guess this span of time gives us some perspective on the evolution of this dining establishment.

First things first, this place has always been focused on quality food and drinks. It was one of the first places I remember to convert a garage into a dining space. It's always had a hip feel to it. If memory serves me, I remember it being more crowded with less tables, and it seems they have more tables and even an outside area now.

The cocktails are thoughtfully made, but I will say that the two I had this time around were a bit more on the sweet side. They were tasty, but I prefer a bit more spirit forward cocktail when I'm pairing it with food.

The food has always been complex and tasty. I think there are even more vegetarian choices on the menu than when they first opened up. I believe the portion sizes have also gotten a bit bigger, which is a welcome improvement.

We went to this place for a personal celebration and elegant night out. Price-wise, it's not bad for the quality of food and a relaxing, elegant setting. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for something adventurous.

11/25/2018

Start with the good: the food was delicious, especially the breads and the location is quirky, but well done. The bad: it is very small and gets loud as soon as it is close to full. Also, without reservations, the size means the potential for significant wait times. Additionally, and very much on the nitpicking corner, the chairs and tables could be much more comfortable. If you've read this far, and wondered why I gave 4 stars when the bad is 5 times longer than the good, reread the good, and emphasize the delicious. The anything with bread products was heavenly.

11/25/2018

This place is absolutely fantastic. I did not like hummus until I tried their deluxe hummus with braised lamb and pine nuts. Great Israeli inspired plates for sharing, the bread is absolutely amazing. Their cocktails are very good too!

11/25/2018

Waitress was quick, informative and friendly. Food was also quick delicious and left you full without that 'heavy' feeling. Cocktails went down like a dream

12/25/2018

Nice bar area. Great food and quiet relaxing music. No bar TV so it was great place to unwind and read book and have scrumptious dinner...

1/26/2019

It was alright. Overpriced for the quality and quantity. However, I am guessing that if you actually travel the Mediterranean... Such foods will always be inexpensive and plentiful there. Actually for the price that you pay for a dinner for five here, you could have flown to Greece for a winter week vacation. I am not even exaggerating.

1/26/2019

Went for lunch. Great atmosphere and wonder food. Everything fills you up pretty quickly. Get the egg salad and Turkish pizza

1/26/2019

Great Mediterranean/middle eastern menu. Food beer selection plus wines and cocktails. Small plates are very shareable.

2/27/2019

#olio was exceptional. Great service. The bread is something I'll never forget. The soup of the day - red lentil - was multi-layered, delicate, and as perfect as anything I've had in NYC, LA, or London. The decor and old building are almost hypnotic. Excellent experience, highly recommended.

2/27/2019

I have been to olio several times and never left disappointed. I always get lamb hummus, good portion size and delicious. Interior is very tastefully decorated and staff is very attentive. I hope they get some local beers on tap. please get civil life American brown on tap, no one will complain 😎

2/27/2019

Food is pretty good and they really make honor to what meditarrean food is. We tried the Sienna large plate (Chicken) that has some spicy and good flavor. The humus king of king is really good!.

Scape American Bistro is one of the restaurants that you can get dressed up or you can go casual. They probably have the best outdoor patio in the back of...read this and 292 more
