Olivia Italian Restaurant is an example of the approximate 40 eateries, bars and nightclubs along the Pipervika waterfront at Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen. It is housed in one of the old mechanical workshops of Akers Mekaniske Verksted. The operation was a major Norwegian shipyard from 1841 until they closed in 1982. The red brick Verkstedhallen building is also part of the Aker Brygge shopping center containing about 50 stores.
