OLIO

Ate outside on the patio. It was hot but the table's umbrella gave us some shade. We elected to have Gluten free options, which replaced bread with corn chips for dipping, which were delicious. Excellent egg salad, hummus, cauliflower, beet salad. Not a single bad bite. Very vegetarian friendly.

We sat outside at one of the tables with chairs. Many tables have bench seats. They have a nice little enclosed patio area with festive lights and cool plants in pots. There is a big pizza or bread oven but it was not fired up while we were there.The food is wonderful. Mostly small plates which allow you to try so many different dishes. Try the bruschetta (roasted tomatoes, garlic, mint, dill), Muhamara (toasted red pepper dip which had a nice twist with some pickled peppers mixed in), chicken kafta (meatballs in a tahini tomato sauce and roasted). They were very accommodating for one of our group that cannot have gluten, bringing a veggie tray in addition to the pita bread served with the dips.
