    We were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday, the hostess was rude and distracted, our 6 yo daughter asked her if they had something to color (they do)… hostess replied “excuse me” as to imply she was interupting her, we weren’t sure whether they did or not, but she eventually brought them to the table… No eye contact us set them on the table and walked off. The half off Wine list seemed like a good bargain, they were out of stock on the first two things we asked for we finally just ordered a glass of wine. Our salads came after the entrées and only after asking for them. Food was mediocre… The ambience gave an historic feel and lovely.

    An awful experience. Put aside that they (as so many other places they fall from grace and serve brunch instead of lunch), I ordered the spaghetti aglio e olio and it was served absoluted unsalted (no salt in the cooking water). I returned it and it wasn’t checked by the line chef (everything visible from my seat with the open kitchen). Instead I was given a new portion which was clearly over salted as the line chef probably didn’t have the imagination to believe that he/her had forgotten to salt the water in the cooling water. In addition the cook had added pistachios to the dish. It’s well known that American chefs (more is better) do not know how to handle the Italian cuisine where the the focus is on simple ingredients of the best quality. But this was a new low. Avoid.

    Very bad experience, the service was poor and rude. The food was bad and overpriced. I never review, so believe me when I say it was bad.

    Olió e Più was an amazing spot to catch up with an old friend. I definitely want to come back for larger family gatherings. The food was authentic and served fresh. The servers were all kind. The wine list was spectacular. Definitely a new favorite! You have to try the tiramisu! Such a cute presentation and delicious ending to a great meal.

    The food was a little bland. The chef murdered my grilled Salmon. It was as dry as the Mojave desert.

    Olio e Piu was an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was packed with flavor. My favorite was the beef fillet with mushrooms, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. The beet salad was super fresh and full of vibrant flavors. We also enjoyed the carpaccio, which was delicate and mouthwatering. The kitchen really knows what they're doing! The service was amazing; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Whether you're planning a romantic date night or a fun girls' night out, this place is perfect for either occasion. Highly recommend it!
