    Excellent, friendly and attentive service. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers (hummus, babaganoush, cheese rolls, falafel) and entrees (adana kebab, chicken shish kebab). Always an enjoyable meal and experience. Thanks.

    This was our fourth or fifth visit to L’Olive. We have found it to be consistently excellent. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. They are friendly, efficient and polite. I can recommend the octopus salad and lentil soup appetizers, the lamb chops, Branzino and the steak au poivre are excellent main courses.

    This is a fabulous restaurant! From the minute you walk in the door, you feel welcomed and that they are happy you chose them. The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious! The chef came out to our table to meet us. We took friends and this has now become their favorite restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    Food was great as usual. Found the noise level high and the lighting was brighter than the last time we went a few weeks ago which spoiled the ambience for us. But still a good experience.

    Staff were great, ambience was fine but most of all the food was excellent. All four of us had excellent meals and a fantastic shared salad. We've been here before but this time the experience was positively memorable.

    This has quickly become one of our local favorites and we dine here weekly. Paul is an outstanding server, and the dinner specials (Beef Bourguignon last night) are amazing!

    Always an excellent meal. The atmosphere is relaxed and lovely with white tables and perfect lighting. The food is absolutely delicious. We have had almost everything on the menu and it never disappoints. The best falafel that comes with hummus and a small salad but is plenty to share. My husband had the special which was swordfish, phenomenal. I had the chicken that was cooked perfectly and juicy. So much food we always take some home. Dessert was special as the chef made chocolate baklava that had a white mousse along, which is now our new favorite. You are guaranteed an excellent meal here, a treasure in Venice.
