Very enjoyable experience, love the meatball spaghetti! The pepperoni pizza was a bit too salty. Will definitely come back!

Had an exceptional Valentine’s Day meal at Olea. Their take on spaghetti is unique and flavourful and I will remember it for a long time. Appreciated the attentive and friendly service on a busy night.

We had really high expectations but left there feeling scammed and ignored for our very short dining experience. The drinks were ok, supposed to be happy hour, but got charged full price (thankfully we go refunded for the extra amount we paid after asking). The food was not worth the price. We both ordered pasta. The Cavatelli basically tasted like a can of Campbell’s soup dumped over top of some noodles finished off with some lemon zest (super Italian). The other lacked flavour altogether. The service from Eliza (or lack there of) was very short and not friendly whatsoever. For the price, I would highly recommend not coming here. Save your money, please!

One of our favourite restaurants. Food is consistently fantastic, servers are helpful and friendly. I'm reluctant to praise it more otherwise we'll never get in!

The restaurant was beautifully decorated and the service was great! The prices were reasonable and the food was excellent. Our party had the focaccia, crispy potatoes, bruschetta, wagyu meatballs, spaghetti & meatballs and the arabiatta pasta. The food came out quickly and hot. It was a busy evening, yet the server came to check on us frequently and kept our glasses filled. We will definitely be back!
