    We started visiting Olivo for freshly roasted coffee for our home espresso machine and fell in love with the place. The staff is very nice and kind giving us some tips about making a great coffee at home. Eventually we had a breakfast at Olivo and we for sure did not regret it. The food is great and the coffee is amazing. The place does not make reservations and it's usually pretty busy so good luck finding a free table. But it'll you do find one, it's totally worth it!

    Haven't tried their food yet. They do have the tastiest pistachio specialty latte. Based in the city centre, it brings a small taste of the Victorian style. Quite chic I would say from a design point of view. Nice staff. 👌

    So… where to start… they don’t take reservations. Which is obviously up to their policy … but when you arrive they really are not welcoming at all. If you manage to get a table …you will have to deal with a rather rude attitude of the waiters. Additionally it’s good to familiarize yourself with the exact timing of when they serve which food! If you are past the time for a minute - no way of ordering - also - don’t expect the service to make an effort to check with the kitchen. Anyways, sticking to the food as per agenda - it does look nice but is not actually great. The coffee is very sour - indicating that either their machine has not been adjusted or the beans come with too high acidity to begin with. Literally like vinegar. We did go to New York Bagels afterwards 😂😂😂 Overall - in my opinion - overhyped.

    Nice place, friendly staff, warm atmosphere, good food. My only regret is that we were there before 12pm and no dessert before 12pm so that's that :)

    Nice place for brunch, with creamy french omelette (with prosciutto) and a very interesting poached eggs with beetroot hummus sauce. The coffee was also special and we ordered some fizzy and tasty ginger lemonade.

    My mom and I came to Olivo while we were in Cluj for a day. I had the Espresso challenge to start which was hands down the best espresso I've ever had from a cafe. It came with two different shots pulled short which were from different regions. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara for the main course which was delicious, the pasta was perfectly cooked as well as the bacon through out. The dessert, cheesecake, was the cherry on top and was an absolutely delicious way to end. The atmosphere really threw you into a cafe somewhere in Italy with cool music and beautiful art work surrounding you while you enjoy. To top things off the server was great and accommodating since I did not speak English. To top things off, my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was there which they later found and held for me to come pick up! Amazing overall experience and I highly recommend stopping in even if it's just for a shot of espresso. If I'd come again I would definitely try out their drink menu as the cocktails sounded really good.

    The service was really kind and the food was exceptional. The mocktails were both delicious, I especially liked the greenie Jeanie. The pumpkin soup was great with seeds on top and bits of Gorgonzola inside. The carbonara was delicious, and the cauliflower three ways was unique and a yummy vegan option. Will definitely return!

    Do not be stopped only by the name, they definitely are more than a Bistrot : homemade delicious food, awesome coffee roasters, incredible place and well finished interior, nice and proactive waiters. A place to go when in Cluj.

    The place is beautiful and has a perfect selection of infusions, which I appreciate since I don't consume coffee. Had breakfast and everything was delicious. Is the kind of place I would love to visit with my dearest friends :)

    We went to the location situated in the Museum Square, the waiter was happy to help us choose the coffee depending on what we usually drink. We also had breakfast, it’s full from 9:30 in the morning. We liked it.

  • 5/5 Jarek D. 6 months ago on Google
    Fantastic place. Food is excellent. Location is brilliant. But service is absolutely outstanding - Ionuc is just pro! Fluent English, culture and professionalism. Was a great experience to be here. Duck is brilliant, pork is great, starters fantastic. Nothing to complain

    Best creme soup I had in cluj. A bit on the pricy side, but worth the price. Risotto was a bit heavy, but that's a risotto thing usually.

  • 5/5 Nick 6 months ago on Google
    Very good food for a very good price ! Took the Bruschetta with salmon as appetizer, Salmon as main dish & ice cream as desert. The service was impeccable, very friendly staff and really fast service! A must go if you're in Cluj!

    mediocre is a compliment for this place. eggs were not runny, avocado tasted old and the ham as well. the only good part was the smoothies. very hard to get waiters attention if you sit outside.

  • 5/5 Diana M. 1 year ago on Google
    My friends and I had a wonderful time dining out at Olivo the other day. We we're pleasently welcomed by the staff and the food was delicious. We were all pleased with the orders 🙂

  • 5/5 Laura S. 6 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, friendly service. Very interesting menu to choose from. The prices are rather high, but worth the quality of food.

  • 5/5 Ionut M. 4 months ago on Google
    Very beautiful and elegant place. The staff is very nice and attentive. It is a bistro in the true sense of the word. The food is very good and tasty, and the coffee is made to a high standard. A little more expensive but definitely worth it. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

  • 3/5 Ioana-Livia M. 7 months ago on Google
    The place is nice, the staff is really friendly. The food was served fairly quickly. The only issue is that the food price is a bit expensive for the quantity and what it offers. Had the shrimp risotto and raspberry lemonade.

  • 5/5 Sani A. 7 months ago on Google
    Comfortable ambience for a business meeting. My flat white was well executed, and my sticky date pudding was flawless. Service was neither intrusive nor too familiar, balancing distance and friendliness.

  • 5/5 Jolita V. 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and nice atmosphere. The prices were a bit on the higher side but the food was tasty. It is Italian inspired bistro so they have a good selection of food. Definitely recommend if you are looking for good food 🥘

  • 5/5 Bayoudh F. 9 months ago on Google
    It was the best restaurant I’ve ever ate in, here in Cluj. I can assure you that it isn’t just aesthetics but also absolutely delicious 🤤. It’s super satisfying and « raffiné » . Moreover I think that it’s not expensive for what it is. You will not regret it 💯💯💯

  • 5/5 Daniela B. 1 year ago on Google
    Always getting the hazelnut latte. The breakfast here is great! The atmosphere, music and decor is lovely. Had the famous cauliflower with artisanal focaccia, would recommend especially for vegetarians. The only downside is that it’s constantly full, hard to find a table.

  • 5/5 Cristina D. 2 years ago on Google
    Heavenly coffee, great desserts, wonderful atmosphere, quick service and kind staff

  • 4/5 Philippe L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely restaurant with good decoration, atmosphere and a great service. The menu is Italian oriented, with a good variety of dishes, but I would have liked to see some more vegetarian options. Price for quality of quite good. Dishes are beautifully presented. The starter, bread with cheese and sliced cured meat, was simple but tasty enough. For main, the chicken breast itself looks rather plain but remained moist. The sides to the chicken, a butternut squash mash and potato gratin, were very nice and pairing well with the chicken. I found the idea of a pool of sauce at the centre that is bordered by the sides and chicken quite funny (in a good way).

  • 4/5 Vale S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fish was good, can recommend! Paccheri pasta is 3,7 out of 5. Panna cotta is not good… but the place is nice and staff was friendly

  • 1/5 Silvana C. 1 year ago on Google
    The waiters were quick to bring the menu and quite responsive and aware. However, the reason I am giving a star only now is because of the food. Taste was ok (not the best, not the worse), but the meat had raw pieces in the middle. And I am talking about turkey meat, not a grilled steak, which can have this option. The waiter apologized, and gave is a discount, but that did not convince us to continue to eat there.

    Amazing food, gluten free options suitable for Celiacs, good wine and cocktails (get the gin & tonic :) There's no gluten free dessert though but there's a nice ice cream shop at the corner.

  • 5/5 Yevgen V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great breakfast. Very tasty and delicious. Coffee is great. Tea with ginger is amazing too. Humus with Benedict eggs is perfect!!!

  • 4/5 Lyudmyla S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place in the center of the city. I enjoyed my ginger tea - best medicine for everything! It took a bit too long to wait for breakfast. Taking into consideration quite a short list of breakfast choices, I am surprised it takes so long to cook it. I expected a bit more from my hummus sandwich with eggs 🍳 but not bad )))

  • 5/5 Vlad M. 2 years ago on Google
    Mindful people that take the time to memorize recurring clients and offer to them on the house their usual if there happens to be any technical problems (payment instrument not working or other). I highly recommend them as the service is fast and top notch as well as the coffee variety is plenty and delicious.

  • 5/5 Mircea J. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place, right in the center of the city, with a great vibe, the cafe concerto music just fill up the rest of place. The food is amazing, the risotto with parmigiano and chicken breast was so good, you can definetly see that they are carrying for good quality. I really recommend this place, being a great choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
