Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Branford

Our server, Genesis, was excellent. We were greeted promptly and she checked on us regularly. The timing of our courses was perfect.

I consider Siena a true hidden gem. Some of the finest food we’ve ever enjoyed was served there…for the second straight visit. The menu offers variety to suit a wide range of tastes. Service is very professional and warmly friendly. Just right. Our waiter remembered us and our drinks preferences. (We’re, a small quiet family, and our only other visit was over two months ago.) Highly recommended!

To say this is an amazing restaurant, is an understatement. For over 40 years, my family has been coming here and this evening we celebrated another birthday. We frequent here but have always made sure to celebrate my wife's birthday with her favorite meal. Tonight was an amazing experience as the entire restaurant sang happy birthday. We look forward to many more years celebrating.

The food options and specials available were outstanding. But the main reason for the high reviews was our server Drew who made the experience exceptional. His knowledge of the menu helped picked the perfect meal. We will be back to see Drew! Thanks Drew

It’s beautiful in there, it was my second time dining at olives & oil. This time we went on a friday after Christmas, the decoration, staff, food was amazing. Whether you’re there for a couple of drinks at the bar or seating in there dining section you’ll have a wonderful experience. They pay good attention to allergies and have gluten free options.
