It was our first time dining no here and definitely won’t be our last. Our waiter Tony was most helpful in his recommendations and was very attentive but not intrusive. We had the Krios chips, bronzino special and pecan crusted halibut special. All were delicious.All food was fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked.

At the moment, there's no online availability within 2.5 hours of your request. Do you have another time in mind?

About the restaurant
From its humble beginnings in the quaint Hudson River town of Piermont, New York, Olar was known for serving up rustic Neapolitan pies, classic Spanish tapas, and hand crafted pastas that drew in both locals and foodies from all parts of New Jersey, upstate New York, and New York City and kept them coming back for over a decade.


Now in its new location in Northvale, New Jersey, the restaurant, now known as Olar Noso - which means "our home" in Galego, the language spoken in Galicia where the Dominguez family is from - is an evolution in not only name alone.
They have managed to scale the restaurant concept generously while replicating the quality and preserving the reputation the former Olar had garnered over the years. Evolving into Olar Noso meant giving Olar's loyal customers everything they loved, while also enhancing their experience with more seating, more elbow room, a full bar, a private event space, and, finally, ample parking.

This was our second Christmas dinner in a row at Aurora. The place has definitely matured in a year. Our waiter was very attentive and professional. Good cocktails for the four of us, and everyone enjoyed their dinners. My lamb osso buco was delicious! Nice-looking place too, good choice for a special occassion locally.
