Oliva Italian Eatery<\/a>, a neighborhood restaurant near Timber Creek High School in north Fort Worth, welcomed new owners in mid-October.<\/p>\n

The details<\/p>\n

Steven Hudson and Joseph Borchardt took over the company Oct. 19, according to an announcement on social media<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hudson said he\u2019s excited to carry on the legacy of upscale service in a casual atmosphere, where \u201cthe quality of cuisine is just as important as the service quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliva serves traditional Italian staples, including salads, chicken dishes, beef plates and a variety of pastas. It also has limited-time specials, like a smoked brisket risotto that recently came off the menu after two weeks.<\/p>\n

The restaurant also offers catering services.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur marinara sauce is absolutely delicious,\u201d Hudson said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of my favorites, and I\u2019ve heard some guests already raving about it and making sure that I\u2019m not changing anything, and I\u2019m not.\u201d<\/p>\n

The backstory<\/p>\n

Cynthia and Justin Loeb opened the eatery in 2010 after moving to Texas from New York City, according to previous reporting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like the Loebs, Hudson also has years of experience in the restaurant industry and said he always dreamed of being a business owner.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next<\/p>\n

Hudson said he wants to stay true to the restaurant’s roots and continue to enhance Oliva\u2019s culture, menu and legacy. He said the restaurant\u2019s aesthetic is the only thing that may see a notable refresh and modernization.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last 15 years I spent with a design steakhouse where we had an upscale dining experience with fine dining touches,” Hudson said. “I see that here, and I want to keep that going.”<\/p>\n

Hudson already met many of the regulars during as the Loebs began to transition out of their ownership roles.<\/p>\n

Justin Loeb will continue to be involved with the the couple\u2019s second eatery, Elote Mexican Kitchen, while Cynthia Loeb begins work with luxury travel agency Civilized Adventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oliva Italian Eatery, a neighborhood restaurant near Timber Creek High School in north Fort Worth, welcomed new owners…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":478406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[161568,116,118,117,161567,161569,161565,67,161566],"class_list":["post-478405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-cynthia-loeb","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-joseph-borchardt","tag-justin-loeb","tag-oliva-italian-eatery","tag-restaurant","tag-steven-hudson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
