    This was our second time dining at Osteria Olio and it’s been a wonderful experience each visit. This time my wife and I were there for our anniversary dinner. When we arrived, they seated us and had a candle and an anniversary card, signed by the entire staff, already on our table. We got the Focaccia appetizer and there are no words to describe how good it was. We ordered the Ziti Alla Vodka and the Spaghetti Alla Bolognese for our entrees and split each one. As my wife put it, it was the best pasta she’s ever eaten in her life, and I couldn’t agree more. We ordered the Tiramisu and the Chocolate Hazlenut Semifreddo for dessert, and it was absolutely amazing. Our waitress, Marina, was so kind and very knowledgeable of the menu. She timed every course perfectly and I never once felt like we were being rushed. The rest of the staff is welcoming, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. I could not recommend Osteria Olio.

    Montana was an exceptional waitress, she elevated the experience tremendously. Her professional customer focused approach should be shared with the bartender.

    This is a beautifully renovated building. Lovely facility and perfect for a ‘date’ night. And I am so glad that it is here. There are however some new restaurant issues. The valet was overrun. We eventually backed up and parked. The valet encouraged us to do so. Not a good initial impression. The restaurant’s food was mixed. My expectation was high-end food that would match the beautiful facilities and the menu prices. It did not. Salad said it contained broccolini, I found two very small pieces. (And I searched for them.). The bolognese pasta was good. The coffee was okay, but most restaurant coffee is not great. The triple gelatos on the dessert menu did not exist. They had only one flavor. And, when we asked for hot tea, they had none. No tea bags of any kind. The staff were positive and did a good job. Fingers crossed that this new restaurant achieves its potential.
