Olivia's - Gettysburg: Culinary Delights in the Heart of Pennsylvania

My friends and I (large group) tried this place for the first time last weekend, and we loved it! Our server was Ava, and she was sweet, hard working, and just plain awesome! Their menu is expansive and unique) in many ways. (I.e Thai meatballs, chocolate sauerkraut cake ) At the end, we asked them to choose an assortment of cakes for all of us to sample. Everything was delicious - you've got to try this place!

I just had the best meal possibly ever. Everything was cooked to perfection. We had the surf and turf, which was lamb chops and scallops over a mushroom risotto. As you can see from the pictures the lamb and scallops were cooked perfectly. There was a slight char on the edges of the lamb, which was juicy and tender on the inside. Scallops usually make me nervous as I know they're difficult to cook just right. Well, the chef at Olivia's is highly competent and talented. Apparently Olivia's has a regular spot on a local TV channel. I hope I can find them online, because I want to learn to cook like this! Even before the main course came, we had the best tender chic peas in their beautiful homemade hummus and home made bread. We also had the Maryland crab soup which was absolutely delicious. I knew the main dish wouldn't have much veggies, but I didn't want a salad tonight, so I opted for a veggie filled soup and was not disappointed. The flavors were just perfect. Imagine a light tomato broth with fresh vegetables. I must tell you that my husband had an earlier dinner meeting at another restaurant, so I ended up ordering the meal at Olivia's. Even though he was already full, my husband helped me with my meal and we both just marvelled at the flavors. I had the peach mule which again was perfect. Not too sweet, but sweet enough. It was refreshing. And for dessert, we had the choclava, which is a chocolate covered Boston cream ball over a hearty serving of baklava. Again, very delicious, but beware it is quite sweet. Olivia's is our favorite place now in Gettysburg.

Our experience at Olivia’s was perfect! My wife got the drunken steak which was cooked perfect and had lots of flavor. I got the lobster, crab and shrimp scampi which was delicious. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful weather. The service and wait staff was top notch and did a great job. As we were leaving, Olivia’s gave my wife a free flower for Mother’s Day! I highly recommend Olivia’s and will be sure to return! Thanks for the great evrning

Met some new friends here and we all were thrilled with the food and service. My lasagna came with a choice of soup or salad. I filled up on the delicious French onion soup and took my lasagna home for a few more meals. EVERYONE was thrilled with their choice of entree. They provided bread and hummus to the table. I will be back. They have a nice outdoor area.

I must begin by saying that the hummus was delicious, and the toasted bread paired perfectly with it. My husband ordered a gyro, which not only was a generous portion but also came with a tasty soup. The Greek salad is served inside a large piece of bread, but I opted to have it without the bread since I knew I wouldn't eat much of it. Every ingredient in the salad was fresh, making it very enjoyable. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, which added to our wonderful experience.

Food was very good, and not your normal pallet either. The Greek really shines. The bread and hummus were delicious, best french onion soup I've ever had, and the entree was fantastic. Will definitely be visiting this place again!

I happened to run across this place because I had to meet someone around Gettysburg. The menu is vast and also has a very large bar. My wife and I decided to split a dish because we went there for lunch. I ordered the French Onion soup with was made to perfection. It was just amazing so if you are into soups, definitely try this. We ordered the spaghetti on a bread bowl for lunch and told our server to just give me an extra plate. Let me tell you the portion that was provided for lunch could have easily fed 3 grown adults. We could NOT finish it. The staff was so considerate that they provided half portions already divided up on two plates. This is a very small thing but goes a long way and shows they actually care for their customers.. It's a huge restaurant and the staff is just amazing. They have countless selections and it is a Mediterranean restaurant so their humus is awesome as well. They specialize in Greek cuisine. Even though I never come to this area, because it is almost an hour and half away from me, I will definitely be coming back to try their other dishes. Highly recommended!!! Also, forgot to mention the price is very reasonable for the portions they provide.
