    Third time I was there. Food is consistently excellent and service is very friendly. On one of my visits, I had the Adult Grilled Cheese- delicious. Their Shrimp and Mussels Fra Diavolo was spicy and seasoned perfectly. You can't go wrong with the Wild Mushroom Ravioli. A great place.

    This is our second time at The Smashed Olive and the food is fantastic. We could come here multiple times in the future and always get something different because there are so many amazing options. The whipped ricotta is incredible and so is the goat cheese and mushroom gnocchi. It’s holiday season and they have really fun and delicious festive drinks. We will definitely be back!!

    A great experience - have been about 5 times and never disappointed. The food is amazing with a wide ranging menu, and service is excellent. Those factors alone earn 5 stars but as an above and beyond - after a wine glass broke at the very end of a recent meal there, the manager insisted on remaking all dinners free of charge! Even when we tried to decline the generosity since we had mostly finished eating, they still had the food made and wrapped to go. OUTSTANDING customer service and will absolutely be back again!

    The food was good but the service was certainly lacking.. our server also wasn’t very knowledgeable on their menu and we were charged extra for drinks that already included up charges.. noticed that after the fact but will make me think twice about visiting again:

    Seven of us took my father out for his birthday and it was a very enjoyable evening. Service was timely, but we didn’t feel rushed. The food was outstanding with generous portions for the appetizers and entrees. We enjoyed calamari, shrimp and mussels fra diavolo, and whipped ricotta for appetizers along with their complementary flat bread with olive tapenade. All absolutely delicious! For dinners we got eggplant rollatini with Rosa sauce, garlic shrimp with arugula over lemon pesto linguini, homemade rigatoni with burratta, and penne vodka with chicken. Once again all excellent and we all needed to go boxes. We saved room for dessert though, and the wait staff put a candle in my dad’s lava cake and sang to him because our server overheard us talking about it being his birthday. So thoughtful and unexpected! The lava cake, cannoli, and peanut butter explosion were all good, but the lemon leche is to die for! At first glance the menu may seem a bit pricey, but you are getting large portions made with quality ingredients and hand made pasta. I definitely recommend!
