    Always a great meal. Our server knows us because we come in so often. All the servers were fantastic and the food as always was exceptional. The baklava is the best I have had and I have had it multiple times for many years. We also got the orange sponge cake which is the perfect sweetness and delicious orange flavor. Definitely our favorite restaurant in Venice.

    Great neighborhood gem. Very quaint, and dimly lit which made for a nice evening dinner. Service was prompt and friendly and recommendations were great. The food was awesome, we both had the wild mushroom ravioli. Would definitely go back. Highly recommended.

    We four enjoyed a very pleasant evening, all of us had shrimp entrees. One of us had the shrimp special, gulf shrimp with risotto while three others had shrimp linguini, accompanied by vermentino wine. The food was well prepared and filling. This is a wonderful place to come for dinner with conversation.

    As usual…the chef’s special was scrumptious and well-paired. The service was superior with Rob as our server! All staff were amiable and attentive to all guests!

    We have eaten at Olives several times. We have never been disappointed. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was quiet, we could hear each other talk, Food was outstanding and beautifully presented...could not expect better anywhere. We will definitely return.
