Olivia Torget - Stavanger

This restaurant, a member of the well-known Olivia chain, dominates the port of Stavager and offers exactly what you expect. Lots of people, with relative difficulty to make a reservation, below average and slow service, satisfactory food and ... expensive (but this is Norway !! . You won't be disappointed, but you won't be thrilled either

I visited this restaurant with friends for lunch, but there was no specific brunch menu available. The pasta I ordered was overly salty and lacked flavor, something I could have easily improved upon at home. The meals my friends ordered, an omelet and pizza, also appeared unappetizing. None of us were able to finish our dishes. Considering the delicious flavors of authentic Italian cuisine, this chain restaurant was a letdown. The service was pleasant but slow. Additionally, there were no restrooms on the first floor.

The service at this restaurant was good, but the quality of the food was just average. However, considering the price, it was disappointing. The cost did not justify the overall experience.

If you eat here, it will take time. The food was great, and the service in general was fine. But it was just way to slow. To wait 20 for a bottle of wine, and then 20 min to get the check when you are done, is just not good enough.

Had some lovely antipasti to share as a starter, followed by one of the better gluten free pizzas I have had with a handmade base. Good food, good service in a lovely setting with a pleasant ambience and nice views of the harbour. (Note they did inform me that they cannot guarantee the gluten free pizzas will not become contaminated in the kitchen, but this is common with gluten free pizzerias).
