   Service was great during Sunday brunch. Food took a long time from receiving our pastry basket to our entrees. It was over 40 minutes. Brunch entree steak was cold and eggs were luke warm. Ricotta Pancakes were really good. Love the ambiance of the restaurant. Would be nice for brunch that hot entrees are served on a hot plate if there is no food heater lamp. The day before we sat at the bar and ordered pasta for brunch and the flavors were there but dish was luke warm.

   Amazing little restaurant tucked away behind a row of office buildings. It’s grad week and we didn’t know to make a reservation, so we sat outside under the pergola where it was nice and quiet. It was cold, so they brought us blankets (heaters are being installed next week) which was thoughtful. Food was amazing, traditional Italian fare. They even have a curated family-style option where the server and chef curate a three course meal for the whole table which were definitely going to try next time. Service was exactly what you’d expect from looking at the place and the staff, professional, efficient, and absolutely on point. Management was interactive, checking on us multiple times and the bar was making amazing drinks. Big shout out to Katy, our server, who knew every dish and was fantastic all night long. This place is 100% worth the time and money you spend here!

   Our first time dining at Osteria Olio was a fantastic experience. The service was great and our appetizer and meals were delicious. We look forward to dining there again very soon.

   There are few places left in our wider dining culture that place a premium on service. Osteria Olio is clearly still one of them. From start to finish, the attention we received by the wait staff was the ultimate complimentary 'dish' to the meal itself. It was the hand signed birthday note to my son from the WHOLE staff waiting for us at our table OR the napkins lovingly refolded and centered when a guest left the table OR our waiter chasing down the mystery veggie in my wife's dish (it was a kumquat BTW). The food was tremendous. I could be way off but it felt like blends of Peimonte and Calabrian cuisine and was a delight at every bit or shared taste around our table. From start to finish, this was a dining experience not just another meal...

    I had a date night with my best friend on Dec. 7th. As my first time visiting, this place is absolutely amazing! From the complementary valet, kind welcoming staff, amazing bartenders and even better waitress! I was recommended this restaurant from a friend. I came expecting a lychee martini and was informed that it was seasonal and non-alcoholic. A little bummed , the lady behind the bar whet WAY above and beyond to create me a custom mix very similar to the taste of a lychee Martini. I was absolutely blown away. It literally taste EXACTLY like a lychee martini. I didn’t get her name, but whoever she was needs an absolute RAISE!!!!! I can’t wait to return!!!
