Great experience. The restaurant itself is clean and quaint, the food was fresh, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Simple menu that offers a great selection of healthy options.
Great cocktails and really good food.
Local hidden gem!! Definitely put on your list to try if you’re in downtown Delaware. Only did lunch but looking forward to try dinner and some tasty cocktails!
Has great ratings so we thought we’dtry. Was not a good experience. The person who took our order was rude and abrupt and they weren’t even busy.We all ordered the salads. They were flavorless and were nothing special. The sandwich I wanted they were out of and the Charcuterie Board was not available.The drinks they offered were very limited and when I asked if they had sugar or sweet n low for the tea she said rudely that we’re a cafe not a restaurant. Will not be returning to this establishment. I’ll spend my money on a restaurant that is happy your there.
Lovely little spot with many many different oils. Food and craft cocktails are top notch! A regular stop of mine and great place to take out of town guests as well as locals who’ve never been. A+
5, actually 6 stars for everyone and everything! The olive oils and vinegars will improve your food in unexpected ways. I love the oils on pasta, changing up salads, marinating, dipping the homemade breads from Sunrise they carry (if you can get them)... definitely have several flavors of both the oils and vinegars on hand. 🥰I send people here for lunch all the time (and am actually sitting here waiting on my to go order, enjoying the smells and sights). #happyplace!New: dinners! Check them out too!!
Always a great place to shop and dine and its located near the best store ever, H&A!!
Delicious chocolate balsamic vinegars and tomato risotto rice!! Their seasonal mulled cider vinegar was scrumptious , I made a sauce with it and baked chicken. VERY YUMMY!! Will be back soon to try their lunch/ weekend cafe options!
I love small cozy restaurants like this. My salad was delicious & my husband enjoyed the charcuterie board. Specialty drinks by Tristan were the highlight... he is a master of delicious cocktails!
Foodie or not, this shop has something for you. The Italian Fig Balsamic is a staple and the Family reserve evoo is one of the best I’ve ever used for daily cooking and multi-use cooking. I’m completely addicted to their cafe salads. Keep up the great work, Olivina, I’m so glad you are a part of Downtown Delaware Ohio.
I wish I had gotten a few photos before but without thinking due to hunger my husband & I ate the Intaliano sandwich right up! The 1st time we was given a sauce cup in with it the 2nd time order only a few days later no sauce cup. I was really sad cause I had told him how yummy it was to dip your sandwich in the sauce and your chips too! I would like consistency as I am a person who suffers from OCD. The food made up for it and I cant wait to try other options here.Update: Ive tried several different times to order the same quality & consistent food but it seems impossible! I really hate to be one of those people but Im not sure why it is this way.The time I came with my kids, the short blonde woman was polite while training an employee. The 2nd time I came I had asked for an extra sauce- never got it. The 3rd time we ordered 2 sandwiches online on wheat-never got the wheat bread but got the extra sauce & a pickle. 4th time-got it on wheat bread after mentioning the previous error & then got no pickle lolIts never consistent. The owner/manager (?) Short blonde woman seems to only speak politely to the rich looking customers. I stood by multiple times as she spoke totally different to other customers even joked with them but was short with me, wouldnt acknowledge me when I would engage her during ordering while I was trying to be polite. Once I got the drift I wasnt her type of customer I realized I was wasting my time trying.The attitude I can deal with & actually dont care, just funny, but at least be consistent with making sandwiches! The first time I got chips, a cup of the dressing, and a pickle....it should always stay the same consistency every time. A customer relies on that. I hope in the future she learns though that customers pick up on how she acts differently towards different classes of customers. Specially which its done right in front of them in a 2 min span of time lol
Always been a BIG fan of their oils, vinegars and spices but now they have food and drinks!! Everything is incredible, dont forget this stop when youre in Delaware!
Called in for a pick up order early at lunch time...2 Sandwiches! I had made a call earlier to make sure they were open. After 3 calls unsuccessfully answered other than an old phone message recorder, an owner answered. He stated they were unable to make my order because they were not set up for it....a carry out order...seriously? But after a quick follow up correspondence by the owner, the reasoning was because of the newness of the offerings and getting staffing where it needed to be. I look forward to coming back soon.
I have been buying my olive oil from Olivina Taproom for a while, but now they serve lunch. Just salads and sandwiches, but fresh and tasty. They currently serve lunch Tuesday thru Saturday.
Great food great staff awesome chef. The menu is astonishing, cant wait to see what the chef has to add to menu. A must dinning.
Wandered in this week and admitted to the staff I didn’t know how to use the oils I was given as gifts. Chef came out and not only gave me ideas on how to use what I have, he took the time to ask what I tend to cook and made suggestions based on what we already eat. I left with three more bottles. Thanks for the help!
This place is a must, I wish we had one in Tennessee. The different flavors just made my imagination go wild. I been craving salad now to put my new lime infused olive oil and and 25yr old balsamic viniger on, as well as a steak. This is a fantastic find for anyone, great gift Idea. My taste buds are in love.
Clean, well taken care of store. They have tons of different flavors to choose from, none are disappointing! All at very reasonable prices.Their food is fresh and full of flavor, as well.Thank you for the positive experience!
Lovely place! Really enjoyed all of the unique flavors. If you are a foodie, this place is a must. The 2 owners were very gracious and the products amazing. Concocted a fabulous holiday salad dressing from their Peruvian Lime Evo mixed with the Mango vinegar. Great gift location for that hard- to- buy- for person on your list.
A gift card got us in the shop but we were impressed with the owners knowledge and help. Lots to choose from with distinct flavors in olive oils, balsamic vinegar, etc. With vegans in the family, this place will quickly become a favorite.
Wonderful atmosphere, even better products. I have been cooking with Olive Oil for years and Olivinas products are not only healthier, but also far more tasty. Can notice the different with just one cooking session!
Love cooking with their vinegars and oils. Great to talk to the owner and chef on ideas for uses. Has definitely helped improve my cooking.
The selection is incredible, and you can taste each and every one. I only went in for the first time to buy some feta stuffed olives but ended up getting a few bottles of oil, too. The manager even let me taste an oil they hadnt released yet. Will definitely be back for more.
Signed up for a cooking class and it was awesome. Chef Michael really did a great job teaching and explaining various processes during the night. The food we cooked up was amazing and we had a great night.
Try the Chicken Shawarma Pita. Its delicious.
Very elegant store front and friendly service.
So good and great service! We found a new place to go!
An incredible array of flavorful oils and vinegars for anyone passionate about cooking. New this year are lunchtime salads and sandwiches.
Attended a couples cooking class with Chef Michael for a birthday and anniversary celebration. Event was well organized, educational and overall a great way to spend the evening!
Great drinks, food, and service!
Enjoyed the turkey bacon avocado sandwich today. So excited to have another great lunch option downtown.
Huge variety of gourmet oils and vinegars. Come ready to taste samples! They also offer cooking classes. A nice addition to downtown Delaware.
Great service and delicious food! I love the atmosphere and is perfect for a date night, in my opinion.
Very good flatbread & salads. Good wine. Great wait staff.
Cocktails were amazing, the food was great, service excellent, will be back soon
Amazing flavors. Because of this place we have stopped buying commercial olive oils and balsamics all together. Very worth it.
Always a nice place to visit!
Wonderful selection of olive oils and vinegars. Great gifts. Wonderful personnel.
Amazing fresh pressed olive oils, vinegars, pastas and spices. If youre a natural food fan, this is like a small dose of olive heaven.
Popped in a thank you gift for some professional associates. The owner helped out with his suggestion and delightful. Visit, Visit, Visit. The best advice I can give!
Great food, great drinks. The staff is very friendly.

2022-02-19Stopped in after dinner to grab a drink from the new bar. Let me say that it is impressive. Speaking of impressive, the bartender was fantastic and fun to talk to. The selection of cocktails is second to none. The new dining room is calm and welcoming. Makes me want to steal some decor ideas. They are renovating the kitchen so excited to try some new food offerings. Take a chance and stop in, I dont think youll be disappointed.

2022-06-05Meatballs were not edible they were so burnt. They were hard, dry, and visibly black, not sure how they were allowed to leave the kitchen. Chicken was dry, pasta sauce had the consistency of a gravy and was flavorless. Basil on the flatbread was flavorless and shriveled up. Food and drinks all came out at different times. We asked for butter with our bread and they said they don’t have any. The bartender came to apologize for the food quality before the manager did. Cocktails were delicious, and our waitress was very helpful, kind, and attentive.

2021-03-22We had a great evening with appetizers and unique drinks made by the bartender, who taught us a lot about the history behind them. Relaxed yet (a little) upscale vibe. Great atmosphere. We will be back!

2022-07-27Stopped in and had the charcuterie board and was ok. But we had Bryce as our server and he was fantastic! If or when you visit this place, ask for Bryce! His attention to us and making sure we had a great experience was top notch!

2022-06-04Meatballs were extremely burnt. Chicken in Caesar salad was dry and tasteless. Server was friendly and attentive but bar service and food service was very slow. Chicken in chicken linguine was also dry. Don’t waste your time here, food was terrible.

2021-12-23Stopped by for a quick lunch on a weekday as this was on our want to go list for awhile. This small-ish spot was an excellent choice. While they do sell vinegars and infused olive oils, the real treat is the wine selection, lighter food choices, and the fact that they also have a small selection of mixed-drinks available. A fair amount of seating is available (maybe space for 20 people total).Very reasonably priced for how good the food was, we ordered a soup and salad and one of the sandwiches. Everything was expertly prepared, came out promptly, and the staff were very friendly.

Review №9
2022-07-10Delicious food and friendly staff. They are open for lunch and you can dine in without reservations (I wasn’t sure due to Covid so I called ahead to ask). We were there around 1p and it was still steady with the lunch crowd, mostly with people coming in to pick up orders, also some holiday shoppers. They had some nice gift baskets for the season.

2022-03-16We ordered lunch. We had to call because online ordering was not available at the time. The website was very misleading saying order online now. We got the order done and it had an error which is why we called and learned we had to order over the phoneinstead. On the phone we also learned the chips and plicke that used to come with the $10 sandwiches do not anymore and the price did not change. The sandwiches were eh at best. I couldnt tell if mine was supposed to be hot or not (it was just warm) and I thought it would be better turkey rather than lunch meat.The avacado was mashed up and mixed with way to much olive oil. Probably wont be back.
