Restaurant Olivia is a pasta-focused restaurant located in Denver’s Wash Park neighborhood. Olivia is the second project from chef Ty Leon, beverage guru Austin Carson, and hospitality maven Heather Morrison.

Each evening we open the doors to our restaurant as if it were our home, welcoming guests with warmth and graciousness. We believe you’ll feel our attention to hospitality the minute you step inside.

We draw inspiration from classic Italian dishes and the traditions that bring them to life, but we also feature flavors and recipes from around the world. Our food is made with care and intention. We source our ingredients from organic and local producers whenever possible. Our beverage program features expertly-crafted but playful cocktails, alongside an Italian-focused wine list.

We look forward to sharing with you our passion for outstanding food and service.

    Came to Olivia to celebrate the new house we bought with my husband and parents. We love Olivia, the price is not for the faint of heart but the experience is always so wonderful. Staff are polite and attentive (without being annoying), my mom wanted some drink concoction that they didn't have the ingredients to make but the bartender took the time to whip up something custom that she ended up loving. Food is always exceptional start to finish.

    We went to Restaurant Olivia and have dined there before and have always been very happy. This most recent visit was very disappointing. The service was very slow and not attentive. When you are paying for an expensive meal, the expectation is that service will be excellent. The high standard that is expected was not met.

    Fantastic service and food! The tasting menu was to die for and the gluten free homemade pasta was outstanding. Can’t wait to go back.
