• Mediterranean • Northvale

Booked 21 times today

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.

I’ve said it many times but it can’t be said enough. This is the best restaurant in Rockland County. I’ve lived in the county for 51 years and though there are many terrific restaurants IL Portico is in a class by itself. Pepe and Paige are unique hosts creating an atmosphere that is both relaxed and elegant at the same time. The food is presented superbly and is always delicious. The service is always outstanding. If you have not eaten here, you are doing yourself a disservice. If you eat here once, you will be back many more times. Treat yourself to a wonderful dining experience
