What to know

Born from family recipes and a desire to modernize Mediterranean comfort food, Urban Olive opened in Downtown Raleigh to fill a need for fast, fresh, and flavorful meals. The owners combined classic techniques—like slow-marinated proteins and scratch-made sauces—with a fast-casual format that suits busy city life. Planted inside Transfer Co. Food Hall, the restaurant both complements the hall's lively food scene and provides approachable catering for local businesses and celebrations. The result is a neighborhood favorite that makes authentic flavors easy and accessible.
