- YKYoshi Kasahara4 days ago4.0Went there for our friend's rehearsal dinner. All dishes came out looked good. Since dinner was served family style (not served individually but served in the middle of the table) and some server did not placed food at one end, between the guest, rather than setting them where everyone can reach. All served foods were great. Drinks came very slow. Maybe smaller party is better option for service??? Will try again.
- HMHeather MooreJan 5, 20264.0Our waiter, Zach, was really on his toes. Very attentive. The meatballs were to die for! The Bolognese was a bit salty, but the overall experience was very nice
- VCVictoria CampbellDec 25, 20255.0We had a wonderful meal here. Staff was well-informed and professional. The food was simple but such high quality. A great experience for anywhere from $100-$400.
- JGJenna GDec 14, 20255.0Amazing experience! We chose the gnocchi and patate autunalle; both were flavorful and paired great with our focaccia. The “between the hedges” and “gentiane standard” cocktails were perfect and put a fun twist on some classic cocktails! Our server, Jordan, was awesome: Great, timely service and he was well-versed with the menu. Wonderful date night, and we were also given a special card and menu for our anniversary. The ambiance was delightful as well and with all combined, it made for a memorable anniversary date!
- CTCrystal TarberDec 13, 20255.0Wonderful date night at Osteria Olio. The food was amazing and the ambiance was perfect, romantic and welcoming. The service was outstanding, and our waiter Cameron was magic , like literally he ended the night with a cool trick . He did a great job at explaining the menu . Our drinks were always full, and we felt like royalty. We only splurge on a big date a few times a year, and this was absolutely worth it. Can’t wait to come back.
