Our Guestbook
“ This was always our favorite restaurant and now I won't recommend it to anyone!! They must have a new chef because quality of food is horrible!! I ordered for pickup waited one hour for chicken parmigiana it was flat and cold. Then the next evening I thought I'd try it again so my husband called in an order of gnocchis....doughy, unable to eat it! The best thing now at this restaurant is Manager Sal. If we, our big family, decides to dine there again it would ONLY be for Sal. Please bring back the former chef, cooks, etc! From Sara ”
“ Been here a few times and I always have the best service with my favorite bartender Alonso. I used to not like espresso martinis but he definitely changed my mind. He was so lovely and so was his drinks. The place is alright but he definitely made my time so welcoming. Thank you Alonso will be coming to visit again. ”
“ Food and wine were both delicioso. Service was stellar! Salvatore was thee most gracious host. ”
“ Delicious food, great service and awesome wine and drink selections. Couldn't ask for more! ”
“ Love it here! Consistently great food, chill atmosphere, great genuinely Italian vibe. Sal, the owner, is a great host. ”
“ One of THE all time best meals and experiences ever at a restaurant! The service was professional and friendly. The restaurant ambiance comfortable. Spaghettone al Torchio (pasta alfredo), is a wonderful entree that includes a passionate & fun table side show by the owner, Guido Oliverii! The Ravioli di Noce o Pomodoro (walnut & ricotta stuffed in pasta), and the Linguine Con Salmone (salmon pieces in a vodka cream sauce with pasta) were delightful. Put this restaurant on your list of places to visit! ”
“ I took my brother here for a quiet birthday lunch. It is a nice restaurant, but seems a little dated inside. The service was friendly, but slow. The food though was delicious. I had the pollo limone and my brother had the pollo basilica. The serving sizes are perfect; enough to fill your stomach and satisfy you, but not enough for leftovers. My brother also received a complimentary, birthday tiramisu. The dinner menu is pricey, but the lunch menu is more reasonable. We will definitely visit for lunch again. ”
“ Ambience is nice but casual, and staff is friendly. Grilled octopus appetizer was really tasty and cooked to perfection - tender and amazing. The ravioli had a unique sauce with bits of walnut that gave it good texture. Tiramisu was yummy and light. The sauce was a little thin for the Alfredo but the noodles were perfect, and the pasta portion for the Chicken Parm was a bit small compared to other plates. We will come again and try some new things! ”
“ I have since returned to Oliverii on a regular basis. Love Thursdays $6 martini & lunch at the bar with Salvetore or Dine El fresco out in front. Always lovely & delicious!! Again, I HIGHLY recommend checking Oliverii out for yourself. ”
