The Olly Erba
Inside The Olly Erba
The Olly Erba is a versatile spot on Via Volontari Della Liberta that effortlessly blends the roles of cafeteria, bar, cake shop, and restaurant. The space itself is welcoming and thoughtfully designed, featuring a bright and spacious interior with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Industrial-chic touches give the place a modern yet approachable vibe, making it easy to settle in whether you're stopping by early in the morning or later for an aperitivo.
For locals and visitors alike, mornings here start early—around 6:30 AM—with a baked goods display that catches your eye immediately. The variety of brioche, some generously filled, alongside savory options and what appears to be house-baked bread, provides a solid reason to drop in for breakfast or a mid-morning break. The atmosphere is comfortable and airy, suitable for a solo coffee, casual meetings, or a relaxed start before the day unfolds.
Aperitivo time is when The Olly shines for those looking to unwind after work or meet friends. The combination of well-priced drinks and sizable, thoughtfully prepared taglieri (platters) that go beyond typical “snacks” makes it a favored spot. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, with particular care shown for guests with dietary restrictions, reflecting an inclusive and considerate approach. The indoor seating stays cool even on warmer days, and the option to sit outside adds flexibility during drier seasons.
Convenience is another plus here, with ample parking nearby and easy access from the surrounding neighborhood. Whether you’re looking to kick off your morning with quality pastries and coffee or wind down with a relaxed aperitivo accompanied by good company, The Olly Erba offers a balanced experience that fits smoothly into daily life in Erba.
