Oliva Verde

Prices in the mid range and of good value. Quality of food is good with attentive service. Quite an ambient restaurant, quiet and not polluted by music.

Excellent authentic Italian food at a very reasonable price. Family owned and operated and the entire staff are delightfully pleasant and helpful. We have lived in Vienna for 3 years and try to go there at least once a month.

it's a cozy little neighborhood pizzeria. nice ambiance, but disappointing food. I dropped by for a quick bite and ordered the antipasto misto di verdura. the verdure were partly covered with a sweetish cocktail sauce, the zucchini slices with a non descript tomato sauce. weird indeed! the spaghetti di verdura turned out a heap of tired looking pasta, with some bell pepper pieces and tasteless mushrooms thrown in. the dish tasted the way it looked - sadly no grana or olive oil on the table to come to the rescue. the pizza oven is electric, fitted into an old brick oven, but that doesn't mean the pizzas would be bad. although after today's experience it will be a while till I find out.

Was conveniently located near out Hotel in Vienna so we went there to eat. The so called Italian food was not Italian at all; some sort of hybrid between Austrian cooking with Italian names. Moreover the servers were rather rude and had a 'couldn't care less' attitude. While we specifically asked him not to put mushrooms in or pizzas, they were still there. When pointed out, the server said 'I don't know the cook must have added them'. Not worth another visit and we did not leave a tip at all.

We asked for an menu in English and it offered Pizza or Spaghetti so, very little choice but what we had was nice enough but wouldn't recommend it.

I cannot recommend this place, at all! Neither food not owner/waiters are Italian. The food has very poor quality and is not fresh. The other night I went to the Italian restaurant down the street which was excellent.

We walked there from Rathaus Platz, and looked nice from the outside, so we gave it a try. Inside small, but veyr nice (with table cloth, big candles and real roses on the table), and so is the owner. Interesting mix of couples out for a romantic dinner, tourists from nearby hotels and families which probably reflects the varied menue of sophisticated Italian dishes on the one hand and afforable pizza and pasta on the other. Smoking area and non-smoking area well separated by a proper glass door (which unfortunatunately is not standard in Vienna).Food was great and excellent value. I had a decent piece of filetto di manzo con salsa di pepe (perfect medium, sauce not too heavy, plus broccoli and mixed greans salad, ), my wife a risotto frutti di mare (not overcooked, generous and tasty seafood), and for our 2-year old daughter we ordered a custom-made small pizza with all her favorites (broccoli, ham, zucchini) - I had promised her a pizza earlier the day and she remembered. Finished off with a layered chocolate mousse of dark and white chocolate and lots of exotic fruits which made all of us really happy. Including beer, two nice glasses of decent Italian red wine, espresso, tips and taxes $90 Canadian ($80 US), by Toronto downtown standards almost a steal. Btw, in Germany and Austria you would give around 5% tip in a restaurant (if you were satisfied), up to 10% if you were extremely happy, less than 5% to nothing if you were moderately to completely dissatisfied. Higher percentages if the absolute amount if small (e.g., 2 Euros, you would give 2.50). With more than 10% in tips you signal that you are either North American and not familiar with the local tipping standards or have too much money.Dont order any digestif, you will get a grappa or amaretto on the house.Restaurant is in a historical building, the washrooms are a bit dated and simple, but clean. Overall, an excellent choice.
