olio market

wow great lunch!. we ventureddowntownfor lunch here to see if this place lived up to the high reviews and i can now honestly say yes. it was worth the drive for us suburbanites and self proclaimed foodies and we both loved the flavor explosions on our dishes. i had the fish tacos which were very flavorful, most likely the best i have ever had. my wife ordered the duck salad and it was also highly praised. ps after trying a piece of her duck i regretted not ordering the duck grilled cheese as it was the perfect consistency not greasy or fatty and flavored just right! next time you will be mine duck grilled cheese :) . we also shared an order of fries which i am kind of a fry snob they were perfect, crispy on the outside and just the right seasoning. yum yes just visit these folks you wont be disappointed. btw i was a little worried about parking but there were plenty of meters available on a weekday at lunch time so no worries. if you workdowntownand within walking distance even better. thanks and see you next time.

hey dolls,  after a really cool dinner with a few of my foodie friends last monday, we decided to meet updowntownthe next day for lunch.  agreeing on somewhere to meet was easy.  we all decided on   olio market !  our food was so amazing, i had to share it with you! i have heard so many great things about the food at olio so my vote was an easy one.  they are only opened mon-fri from 8am-3pm so i knew if i was going to try them, this would be my last week to do so.  i'll be back at school next week! (summer flew by!)  the lay-out of the restaurant was very open and spacious.  we got there right on time because within minutes the line was seriously around the corner! i also liked the exhibition style kitchen!  i love it when i can see my food being prepared!  that's the best!  speaking of the best, i ordered one of the best po-boys i have ever tasted!  this is their shrimp po-boy and it was packed with flavor!  besides the succulent shrimp, it had andouille sausage and jalepeno colesl

this place is a must!. absolutely a must go to fordowntownlunch outing! i had the mac and cheese pork chop sandwich and oh my was it good! it has this sweet and tangy taste to eat with brussel sprouts! the lemonade was so good and the fries! out of this world crunchy but so soft in the middle just the way i like it!

ever find yourselfdowntownand thinking to yourself “what do i want to eat”? well, i have a place for you to try out.  located on the corner of market and bay st. right across from the old courthouse, is olio market . i had heard from many of my friends about how good this place was, and that i just had to try the duck grilled cheese

good sandwiches. well living neardowntowni saw olio's on urbanspoon an decided i had to try it. now i picked a week day and just before noon. it was good timing cause the crowd followed me in. i decided on the duck grilled cheese an the hot italian (ok i'm a fat kid) sandwiches. now i also got the lemon aide cause thats what i like and i heard it was good here. yes it is homemade and that should say it all. now for the sammies the duck was alittle different but good i like it but the wife didn't care for it. i thought the combo of duck confit and gueyere cheese was a nice mix along with the green tomatos. for the italian it was just that an italian with the right meats and some dressing splashed all around. all in all a good sammie. so it's a nice very upscale looking place that has some good foods to go along with a location that many places would have killed for before the court house moved. maybe this place will survive the move, i know the food was worth the trip downtown.

great place to eat whendowntownand thank you for hiring franchesca, she is fast, attentive and courteous in person and on the phone-a breathe of fresh air in the hospitality industry!!!

i was in the area for business and with a lack of lunch spotsdowntowni decided to try this place out. i amdowntownoften and the place always seems busy for lunch. food was delicious, a little pricey for the portion size but good. it is a bit loud inside and difficult to have a conversation. nevertheless i will be back.

when i can spare the time for lunch, one of my favoritedowntownspots is olio market . they have an impressive list of creative sandwiches (my favorite food) with fresh ingredients that aren't hard on the wallet. i've visited a number of times in an attempt to eat my way around the menu-i find it a good sign that there are still things i want to try. olio is usually only open for breakfast and lunch, but i got to try them for the first time during their special extended hours for jacksonville'sdowntownart walk . i opted for the pork cuban (smoked pork, ham, dijonaise, swiss, house pickles, cuban bread), and mario decided to try the burger cheese, bacon, and fried egg: cuban burger i found the bite of mario's burger that i tried a tad greasy (as i have felt about a sandwich or two since), but he loved it. my cuban was delicious, and had the multiple flavors and textures i love in these sandwiches. olio's fries and basil aioli are quite unique. i wish the fries were a thinner cut (the

my birthday lunch was great!.downtownjacksonville has another great restaurant. olio market! great reuben and macaroni salad. crushed ice and fountain diet cokes. i can not wait to use my gift card. fresh made soups and cool atmosphere.

great place. i love the ambiance, décor, and menu of this newdowntownrestaurant. i tried the shrimp & scallops platter, though wish i had tried one of the sandwiches that appeared to be a better choice. as far as the seafood, it was pretty good, 6 large fried shrimp and 4 large scallops with delicious fries and a fresh spicy coleslaw. the tasty shrimp were cooked just perfectly, though the scallops were too salty to enjoy. one suggestion not related to the food, beware of trying to put your lid on the flimsy cups, i was not the only one wearing my soda out of there.

olio - quick gourmet lunch plus daily desserts, yay!. i've eaten here now several times and can honestly say that their desserts (loved their fudgy brownie and lemon cake), fresh salads (the one with mozz and basil and house salad with champagne vinaigrette), soups (bisques are good here), and sandwiches (pork and chix bahn mi) are just whatdowntownneeds. most meals are under $10. love the homemade ginger drink - i add a little sprite as well as club soda to sweeten it a bit and stir well or else you get strong ginger syrup at the bottom! love, love, and across the street from courthouse, bonus.

in your mouth!. great spot indowntownj-ville.food is fantastic,service is great!so great the chef brought my food to me. its clean and the music is great.i ordered the fish tacos and they were the best i had in a while.i inhaled it down with some fresh squeezed lemonade.perfect combination!my girlfriend had the philly and some fries.it had a basil dipping sauce it was awesome.i give them a solid 9.the only thing i can complain is the parking.
