Olivetto,
located in the newest dining and designer shopping district
of Karachi, is an elegant fine dining restaurant and café
offering Italian and French cuisine in a refined Euro-modern
ambiance. The restaurant is divided into two areas; an
elegantly appointed fine dining restaurant which offers
European cuisine with a fusion twist and a lounge which
offers artistic drinks, light fare and deserts in a dramatic
and energetic atmosphere.
Inspiration for the restaurant
has been taken from the only surviving cookbook, Apicius,
which dates back to the first century B.C. From a cultural
standpoint, food preparation was quite important in Italy
and this significance has been captured in Olivetto's
creation. From the ambiance to the menu, rich European
flavors and elegance encompass the theme at Olivetto.

Karachi's fine dining offering and is an ideal space for the

Margarita and the divine Crème Brulé. Top quality

D' and floor-in-charge are always happy to assist the guests

A MESSAGE FROM THE OWNERS
Adil Bhamani - "I am
basically a simple technical person. My love for gourmet
grew while discussing the dining options and menus. I love
to look for the details and enjoy the experience. I am a
great fan of subtle and hidden flavor of herbs and try and
keep the spices down. I am heavily into graphics and
computers and besides that not a very interesting person..
lol…"
Afroza Bhamani - "Good food has always been a
passion. Traveling around the globe I had always been
fascinated by the sumptuousness and classiness of Italian
and French cuisine respectively. Looking after my school and
various community projects I never thought I will be
entering the "food field" so to speak, professionally. But I
am so happy to be able to do this. I look forward to making
Olivetto an exciting and classy place for all who visit."
Olivetto Restaurant & Café
looks forward to serving you in the near future.
