    Katherin C was our waiter. She was so lovely and attentive and made our anniversary dinner so special. But her interactions with other table were just as wonderful as ours. What a wonderful employee you have. The food was outstanding and the venue stunning with all the greenery and lights. Definitely worth a visit. Food was priced very affordably as well.

    We went to Olio e Più after visiting the nearby Whitney Museum. It is a great place for a midafternoon meal because it is uncrowded and offers a very affordable prix fixe meal then. Cocktails were excellent and right-sized unlike some restaurants. Food was excellent and service was completely professional. We will definitely return at anytime of the day.

    A wonderful tapas experience with delicious ingredients some new and some standards. Service was great as was the wine selection. Our table expensed a little too much volume from the music in the speaker but this was but a small blemish in in otherwise outstanding dinner.
