We Love Italian food and just moved to the area and came across this restaurant. They have a front dining area with small table and close setting with ambiance. In the back it is family style with bigger tables and open forum in a solarium. The host or manager took care of us served for us. He was friendly, helpful and brought out his favorite appetizer the grilled octopus( even though) we didn't order it. YOU DEFINITLY SHOULD!! We had two salads the olivella and the popeye both big full bowls, delicious, and beautifully presented. The food took about 10 minutes longer then it should have in between courses but was worth the wait. It is BYOB in case you want to bring a bottle to share as you chow down on your dinner. For our entrée we had two specials, the lobster ravioli and the veal. We could not get over the enourmous portion of the veal, that being said, we wish it was ever bigger. Pounded real thin and fried to perfection. It reminded me of my childhood. We actually picked up the shank and bite right off it to get every tender piece. As the hosts recommendation we ordered the cheesecake for dessert. It was homemade with a crumbcake crust. It was creamy and dense where you wanted to savor every bite. We will be returning. We have it mind for our next get together with a bigger group.

Very nice place with very good food. Ordered the chop special, which was as good as any chop house. Side of fries with rosemary, over the top! Pizza was good not the best I ever had, but worth a try.

This was our first visit/lunch... the menu is the same for lunch or dinner.. Lovely new neighborhood gem. It was very quiet/midday lunch... we shared an excellent caprese... the mozzarella was deliciously creamy.. then we shared a pappardella bolognese... perfectly prepared, plentiful/delicious.. took some of it home ... They are just starting out... and I hope more people will discover them. Prices are moderate/pricy, but the portions are plentiful for sharing. Will definitely return.

Olivella's pizza is fantastic. I especially like the Tartufata (tomato, cheese, mushroom and truffle oil.) The sizes are good; the round is 6 pieces and the square I believe is 9. And the prices are great for each. There is a nice list of pastas and starters. Each day there is a meat and fish/seafood special. I am hoping they expand and have some of these dishes as regulars. I love the backroom (indoor garden) It is a pleasant cheerful place. Right now Olivella is a BYOB but the manager says that soon they will be getting a liquor license. I hope that the wine list will be good and not too pricey. I am rooting for Olivella. It's nice to have a good restaurant within walking distance of your home.

To start off, NOT EVERYONE LIKES TO LISTEN TO ELECTRICONIC MUSIC, if I want that I would go to a club. We had to ask them to turn down the music. Appetizers had ZERO taste, we ordered salad and tartare. The only saving grace was the pizza- really how can you go wrong with brick oven pizza.UGGGG

As always the food was outstanding and fresh. Not sure what happened this time but service was really slow, took fifteen minutes to even take our initial order and the restaurant was not even busy yet.
