Friends told us about this place. Easy to find with good parking. Great decor. Interesting drink and food menu. We ordered the Salmon and the Fungi pasta. Both were excellent. Right portion size. Fantastic taste and presentation.We'll be back. Great service and awesome taste.
Nice ambience and good food options. All dishes tasted a little over seasoned (salty) but not too much to ruin it completely. Tables are a little too close together but overall a nice place to go.
I really liked this place. Big space, big bar and plenty of seating. Nice decor. Good food. Will go back!
Maybe we had too high expectations but we were quite disappointed. The atmosphere is very nice and the prices are definitely on the higher end. The food is not terrible, the ingredients seem fresh and are very simply prepared but the flavors are really nothing special. The pasta Bolognese is so underwhelming, totally mushy overcooked and the sauce tasted like canned tomatoes and ground beef thrown together in 10 minutes. We were really hoping we had found our new Italian date night neighborhood spot...
First rate! Our 1st. time. Glad we went.
Had a great time, food was very good and service great and very friendly. Lost a star because cocktails could have been made more professionaly. Old fashions should be strained over a single big ice cube, especially if listed on their cocktail menue.
I was very excited when this Bistro opened up near my house. It has not disappointed at all any number of times I've gone there to eat. Everything is delicious, and the staff is super attentive.
Always spectacular service and food!
Food fantastic, service outstanding, atmosphere relaxed. Wonderful
Great atmosphere and absolutely delicious food!
Delicious food cooked to order. The gluten-free menu is extensive!
Amazing food and service. I
Really 4.5 stars. The food was excellent. We just wished the entree portion size was just a little more. I had the braised duck ravioli-esque dish and wanted a couple more. My date had the stuffed eggplant and was also wanting just a bit more.
Great for brunch
LOVE this restaurant! The best Chicken Parmesan ever. Great bar and wait staff too.
Nice ambiance and attentive service but most of our dishes were one-note.
Great food, great wine list. Cute place.
We had our Christmas Party here and the food and service was spectacular. Everyone of us had a fabulous time. I can't wait to come back again
Excellent spot for dinner right in the heart of Nonantum (a Burrough of Newton). Went here for dinner with friends and had an overall excellent time. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. The restaurant space itself is also stunning and there is a really nice separate bar area. Highly recommend this spot!
We really enjoyed our experience at Olivia’s! Went for my moms birthday and the waiter was more than accommodating. He even gave us a free dessert at the end of the meal for her birthday. We were also given several refills of bread. We had a delicious pasta dish, salmon, cod and the mussels as an appetizer. Several people have written that the flavor of the food isn’t great but I thought all of the dishes were well seasoned and had great mixes of food. For a newer restaurant, we really enjoyed, had great food and had a great time at dinner! Next time we will have to try the drinks.
The food is delicious! We enjoy the salmon, meatballs, flatbreads and the wine! The entire menu is fantastic. The staff are friendly with prompt polite service and the proprietors (Jessica and Dessy) are happy, kind,& gracious. Jessica and Dessy are onsite. You can really tell the difference when the owners run a restaurant. We feel like we are at home and surrounded by friends when we visit Olivia's. The owners and servers know our names! We now invite all our friends and are enjoying take out. 5 +++ Stars! Highly recommend.
