We had an amazing dinner experience last night. Our waitress Kathy, from Venezuela, was one of the best parts of our evening. She was in tuned to our needs, knowledge of the menu and drinks, and very charismatic. Our meal was delicious, I got the spaghetti and the addition of baratta cheese was fantastic. The atmosphere was the icing on the cake. I felt like we were in some far away land. The twinkle lights, the trees, it was magical.

Our entire experience was amazing! We took our 3 teenagers and they all tried several foods they had never had before. The server was so kind to explain things to them and walk them through the menu. Service was amazing, the food was amazing, the open kitchen made it a more relaxed environment and so cool to watch the chefs. We had such a great night!

The dinner was spectacular in every way. Hygge in New York! The atmosphere was cozy, congenial and filled with Christmas cheer. Flowers and soft candle light everywhere. The punterelle salad was perfectly dressed with ample anchovies, the sea bream en papillote was tender and infused with deep flavor. Add a perfectly balanced negroni sbagliatto to start and the evening was perfect.

Amazing experience at Olio! The food was excellent and they were able to accommodate gluten free pasta with their pasta dishes, so good you couldn’t even tell! Also the panna cotta was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!!! I’ll definitely be coming again!

The waiters were so sweet very attractive very kind. The small plates were fine nothing out of this world, but still good. The paella was honestly a little sad. The rice didn’t have any flavor to be honest.
