Our Story
A Mansion with Soul. A Restaurant with Character.
Olivia was born from a love of Mediterranean dining culture - where food is a reason to gather, not merely to eat. We chose a special home for it: a 19th-century wooden mansion in Riga's Art Nouveau quarter, a building that survived an entire era while keeping its character intact.
The restoration was carried out with respect for the original: not a single authentic element was lost. Today, these walls are part of the hospitality we offer every guest.

Our philosophy
Southern Hospitality with Baltic Precision.
We bring together two cultures that at first glance seem like opposites. The Mediterranean is generosity, openness, a zest for life. The Baltic is restraint, quality, attention to detail. At Olivia these principles coexist, and it is precisely that feeling warmth and order in the same breath - that makes our restaurant unique.
Our service is built on the principle of unobtrusive presence: we are there when needed, and we know how to give you space for conversation.
Space and spirit
A Place That Stays with You from the First Glance.
Step inside and you will feel the difference. Soft lighting, warm materials, the aroma of freshly baked bread from the kitchen, and understated lounge music create an atmosphere you won't want to leave. Nothing is superfluous here - only what works for your comfort and pleasure.
Olivia is the right fit for every occasion: a romantic dinner, a business meeting, a family celebration, an evening with friends. We know how to set the right mood.
