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.

It excels in the three most significant barometers of a restaurant's health: Food, Service and Atmosphere. The cuisine is Northern Italian/Continental. Specialties cover the gamut – a selection of fresh fish delivered daily, homemade pasta, veal, chicken, steaks and chops. Enjoy coffee, an after-dinner drink and perhaps late night music in the lounge. Our cuisine and menu will please the most discerning palate and is both distinctive and unique.

Olar keeps on getting better and better. The old classics are still just as delicious as ever. And the new dishes are simply sublime. The freshest ingredients are used-- you can taste that in every bite. The pasta dishes are varied, unique and spectacular. Pizza is a must. The sliced steak is tender and flavorful. I didn't even get to the Medjool dates app, the grilled octopus or the homemade Spanish fries (insane) or the paella! This is a place that you must keep coming back to. Did I mention the sangria? Or the most delicious and light cheesecake you will ever eat? To die for. And the best part-- no sticker shock when the bill arrives! Enjoy!!
