i really like olivia’s ☺️ the vibe is warm and welcoming and Leah was a nice attentive server. The gnudi appetizer was vegetarian and delicious and my partner had the veal special which he enjoyed and which was a very generous portion. The cocktail menu seems to rotate and I had some nice seasonal vodka lavender lemonade. Can’t wait to go back!

I recently hosted my daughters Bridal Shower at Olivia’s. I would highly recommend it to all. Julie and her staff were so accommodating, professional, and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The food was absolutely delicious and my guests raved about it. I highly recommend Olivia’s for your private event and to anyone who wants a fantastic meal.

All around awesome spot. The service was prompt and friendly. Food was outstanding. A neighborhood gem for sure!

Awesome restaurant with great food and drinks! Chicken parm had great sauce & thinness/crispness. I would sub the penne for the rigatoni which was super fresh.

Always trusted this place to cater to my Celiac Disease / need for a strict gluten free diet. Unfortunately found a gluten noodle mixed in with my gluten free pasta tonight, which is enough to make someone with Celiac sick. This is SO disappointing as the employees here previously insisted that allergy orders were prepared separately. Had to push the waiter / manager to comp the bill even after explaining how sick their mistake could make me. Honestly would not trust if you have any type of food allergies. For anyone without restrictions though, food is good.

Amazing food, vegan options, knowledgeable bartender, great atmosphere. Hazelnut gelato ?

The quality of food is beyond belief and every dish is seasoned with it's own spices and herbs which came out smelling savory and appetizing, unlike other places that use the same seasoning for all dishes. Everything was lovely - service, food, décor. We really enjoyed ourselves. We are definitely coming back and will bring more of our friends to enjoy Olivia's Bistro!!!

Returned for the 2nd time to Olivia’s Bistro with my darling daughter, Olivia! Just love the vibe, the ambiance, the decor, the people & especially the food! The bruschetta is delish & we both loved our entrees: salmon over lots of lentils & roasted carrots & salad with grilled chicken & caramelized onions. The tiramisu was equally outstanding! Great bar scene too! Already planning my next visit.

Excellent, consistent food. Attentive service. We dined here during the COVID pandemic and felt that every effort was made to ensure staff and guest safety. Highest recommendation.

Thought the menu was so great that it was hard to choose what I wanted! Really love the food and service here.
