Way overpriced for the quality of food. I started with calamari, which was mostly fried peppers? Then as my entree I ordered the chicken parm. The little bit of pasta I had was overcooked, the marinara was more like water, the chicken was hot on the outside and almost frozen on the inside, definitely not made fresh. There was also an abundance of grease on the plate. To be honest my food seemed to be swimming in the amount of liquid on the plate. The staff was friendly, but often confused on which table ordered what.

The wait staff is very attentive. We got the Italian nachos which were an absolute hit with the table! The crab soup was also really good. Biggest problem was we filled up before our main dishes came out, but looking forward to the leftovers.

Visiting from Florida, we wanted Italian food. Celebrating a birthday and wanted something good. I Googled Italian restaurants and this one popped up. This place was awesome. Best Italian food ever. And our waitress Amber was fantastic. Super nice and very friendly. Gave us the best service. And dessert, where do I start. Amber gave us recommendations and she was right. Best canoli ever. We are here for a few months and can't wait to come back. And we can't wait to see Amber again. Thank you for the best evening

had a reservation tonight for 18 guests, the staff was so kind in helping me set up my reservation and when we arrived we had 18 nice spots prepared with a menu, silverware and glasses of ice water for us. Our server was very nice, I’m sad I didn’t get her name! she was lovely and helpful. I got the ribeye which was over cooked but I heard the cooks stressing so I didn’t send it back to get remade. It was yummy, and so were the potatoes on the side but it would’ve been better if cooked right. The crab cakes appetizer were a little too crispy and only came with two but they were busy so we didn’t send that back either. Spinach dip was amazing. Everyone who got the fettuccine Alfredo thought it was much too salty. Maybe that was just for tonight. The place is very nice and has a wonderful vibe. Will try again.Update : my sister got the fettuccine Alfredo and added sausage last night and has thrown up 7 times this morning. This has never happened before. Maybe the sausage was bad.

We found out about this place on Feb 13 before Valentine's day so we haven't made any reservations ahead of time.Kinda surprised that the menu is just an A4 paper and have "NO" price on it. Yap, you never know how much are those dishes cost unless you ask the waitress.The only Pro I can give them is the service is pretty good, also husband like the arancini. And that's it. The drinks are pretty meh. The pasta tastes no texture and is super soggy. The desserts are horrible. The tiramisu is more like a coffee flavor cake, it is nothing like tiramisu at all. The cannoli taste like Walmart made. The filling is super miserable cause they use sugar icing instead of cheese or creme filling in there. And the other cake is nothing fancy at all that I totally forget the name of the dessert. Guess how much they charge for those three? $25. Ya will never come back.

Girl’s night-great service (Mary & Kelsey) & happy hour. Do yourself a favor and try the specialty pizza with candied bacon….

Phenomenal food and service. The food was absolutely perfection. The carbonara and arancini are some of the best I’ve ever had. Our server Michael was equally amazing!!! I would 100% recommend this place. All of the food that came out of the kitchen looked delicious.

I drove from Aiken, SC today to meet my sister at Oliviana's for lunch. Both their website and Facebook pages advertise right now that they are open for lunch. After driving for nearly an hour to dine here, I found a sheet of paper taped to the door telling me (and others who were both disappointed and infuriated) that they have changed their hours and are no longer open for lunch. Really?? You didn't have the common sense, courtesy, or customer care to change your advertising? You obviously could care less about your patrons. So my sister and I will in the future hold you in lowest regard. We will dine where the establishment shows at least a minimal regard for their guests. That leaves this place off our list permanently

I would rate this restaurant 5 stars, but the whole time my partner and I was trying to enjoy our experience here we got very dirty looks and i could see comments were made towards us. Olivianas is not THAT upscale for the staff to be judging how individuals look. Food was great though wish i didn’t leave feeling a bit of insecurity here.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and staff. Everything we ordered came out swiftly. The prices here are reasonable. That being said, the food is pretty bland. Certainly Italian inspired but not incredibly authentic in taste nor presentation. I would eat here again but wouldn’t go out of my way to do so.
