Olivia Central Station
Italian restaurant Olivia Central Station can be found in the centre of Helsinki in the old ticket hall of the main train station. The railway station is an internationally known icon of Finnish architecture, designed by the architect Eliel Saarinen at the beginning of the 20th century. The wonderful space has been renovated with the Finnish Museum Authority, respecting the history and value of the property – there couldn’t be a better location and place for a restaurant!
An Italian experience in the heart of downtown Helsinki. In the atmospheric restaurant, you can enjoy Italian food and drinks while taking in the pulse of the city. The magnificently renovated space is eight meters high and thanks to the large windows, it is flooded with natural light. The atmosphere in the restaurant is created by candles, music and a large pizza oven in the restaurant hall, which wafts a delicious aroma.
The restaurant is inspired by Milan in northern Italy. The city can be seen in the interior as well as in the menu which has several classic Milanese dishes. Olivia has a nice and green terrace where you can enjoy the sun, drinks and good food. Thanks to heat lamps, you can stay on the terrace even in cooler weather. You can stop by Olivia just for lunch or a drink or enjoy an authentic Italian dinner through the long menu.
