What a cute little restaurant right in the heart of downtown Tarpon Springs! Our server was delightful and we have a great tastings of various different olive - oils with 🥖! Highly recommend the lemon oil, with balsamic vinaigrette. And the paninis were flavorful and the quinoa Mediterranean salad was delicious too! We had a great time, it was my first time there and the other ladies have been there before.

I could not have had a better experience at Olive The World Bistro. With a European dinning atmosphere, we sat outside in a plant adorned sidewalk table breathing in the fresh spongey air. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, you can tell this is an establishment that cares greatly not only about the quality of the food that they serve, but also the health and overall experience of its patrons. Classical Italian dishes (homemade pastas!) and a full plant-based menu available. We had the hummus and pistachio stuffed dates (served with pineapple 🍍 balsamic) as well as the bruschetta to start. Both exceeded expectations. The caprese sandwich redefines your concept of a vegan sandwich. Flavorful, saucy, fresh basil, fresh crispy bread… and THE BEST vegan mozzarella I have ever had. My partner had the vegetarian wild mushroom and truffle ravioli which was flavorful, earthy, divine. A must stop for anyone within a 50 mile radius. Highly recommend!

Walking around Tarpon Springs downtown we found a jewel of establishment, where we had lunch. It is an adorable bistro on one of the brick side streets of downtown Tarpon Springs. Olive The World Bistro is a small European style restaurant. The owners, Chris and Gini, lived in Europe for 17 years and wanted their bistro to have the same old-world atmosphere. There is communal indoor seating at the restaurant, and outside seating on the brick sidewalk with potted plants. Half of the establishment is for lunch and dinner, and for the sale of olive oil and balsamic vinegar; and the other half is for tapas, wine and live jazz music. The restaurant has an European flair; it is a bistro with good vibes and welcoming owners; with small homemade dishes, a good selection of wines, and live music.

Hello mates. This place sets the bar high for the rest. Food is just amazing and prices are good. I'm sure many people will find the portions on the small side but the flavor is so great.... highly recommended!!!!
