    Wow! We haven’t visited since 2021 and the experience is still really lovely! The menu was delightful - good portions, dessert in particular could easily be shared. As a vegetarian I loved that there wasn’t a mushroom in sight and instead artichoke, and burrata were featured. The service was delightful, not intrusive and instead really thoughtful with a clear knowledge of the menu. The whole experience was $250 for the 2 of us for 3 starters, two mains a side, 2 desserts and 4 drinks. I think this is very well priced and we left so satisfied. This isn’t just for the day time city workers, this is a really great date night spot. Recommend!

    The food and the atmosphere at Olive and Angelo always reminds me of the smells and taste of Italy. As you walk in it’s like the gardens of Tuscany. I highly recommend as it always delivers the best quality of food and service. Grazie mille
