Olea - Leipzig

Just great. beautiful chef, great staff, delicious food and beautiful environment. price high above! have made me eat exceptional because op. many thanks!

Typical „Italian“ Leipzig place. Avoid if possible. The menu is loaded with tons of dishes which every Italian would not touch if you put a gun to their head. Portions are big so you will be fed. It is greasy, heavy and the average German will love it. If you value quantity over quality this is your place. Otherwise stay away.

On our visit to Leipzig we found ourselves eating in this restaurant many times. Very polite, friendly and welcoming staff and a good selection of Italian and European dishes. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great and there is an open kitchen. The food was excellent and was also great value. Highly recommended.

Sat outside and had the prawn risotto for lunch. It was really tasty with lots of prawns and a side salad. Service was attentive and quick. A nice find in Lindenau where there are not that many nice restaurants.

My husband and I stopped by Olea just after they opened at 12:00. We ordered pasta – carbonara and spaghetti bolognese (photographs attached) – which we were surprised to find were HUGE portions. At the same time, the tasty pasta was also quite cheap; along with drinks and the tip, we paid only €20. My German is as bad as the waitress's English, but extra kudos to her for making light of the situation and making us feel very welcome. A laugh and a smile really goes a long way. Tip: Olea is on the doorstep of the Lindenauer Markt tram and bus stop.
