I read over the owner’s responses to Facebook reviews. I use to shop here because of the convenience. Pricy but convenient. After reading how the owner treats people, I’m done with them.

Food is decent Italian but would go elsewhere. Owner extremely poor etiquette and judgement.

Went for the first time today. Very clean place, great selection of homemade meals. Am eating the chicken Alfredo as I write this review. It is outstanding! Not too creamy, and with generous pieces of chicken! Today they had a special of buy 4 containers , get the 5th free. And… additional amount off if you paid cash. I absolutely can’t wait to try the other meals I bought!!!

This time a friend took me here instead of me taking somebody someplace. It's a nice little out of the way place . They did have tables but since everything is packaged up I don't understand how you would eat there. It seems also that the menu changes daily and we walked in on an Italian day. Some food are just refrigerated and some meals are just Frozen.

Disgusting food and dirty. Place has a strong odor of cleaning products but still dirty. I'd rather eat Arbys.

I've purchased food here before and although the prices were a bit steep, we managed to get two meals out of it. This time, I ordered "Chicken Del Rosa" (as much as I can remember) and it came with two thick chicken breasts, yellow rice, yellow and red peppers along with some onion. The chicken was soo dry, we managed to chop it up into bite sized morsels and was able to eat 50% of the dish. As a foodie and a decent cook myself, I would have used dark meat chicken which would have been moister and cut it into chunks instead. Overall, the flavor was decent, but understanding that costs have risen, more could have been done to lower the rapid rise of the costs for the entrée. Most dishes are mainly pasta. We won't see our wheat shortage until 2023. In the past, I'd be able to choose from a number of entrees for $20 - $22, Now, It's up to $28. Go, Brandon, Go!

Hidden gem in Vero. Their food is fresh, delicious and as good as it gets. We love having this as our go to place when we get amazing food without having to cook :) The chicken Parmesan is SO good- we love their fresh breads, amazing mozzarella, olives and deserts that are really (really) good. Five stars to a fantastic local place with amazing staff!

Have been waiting to try Olivia's since our last visit to Vero and we were not disappointed. Purchased the chicken francese, cheese ravioli's, penne with vodka sauce, veal Marsala and some Italian bread. All were Fantastic... So for all the ridiculous comments about poor quality and rude staff I have one thing to say... please move aside.

The owner is pretty foul-mouthed and focuses more on shoving his politics down your throat in his commercials, food containers, and walls of his business rather than on food quality which is really just mediocre Italian food. Take a look at how he responds to criticism.

All the food here is from Costco. If you enjoy having politics shoved down your throat quicker than a cross contaminated meatball sub, this is a place for you. Owner is a homophobe sexist insurrectionist. In any other place in the United States having political slogans on your frozen chicken Parm would cause your business to close in about three days. But, not Vero Beach! Shocked this place is still in business.
Everything is delicious. The tomato sauce is the best. I'm so happy I found this place. staff is very friendly and helpful

Came locally recommended. Was super disappointed. Food was nothing to write home about and don’t get me started on the service ☹️

The food we had was just horrible and tasteless. But even the best of meals would be tasteless if served with a complete disregard for the health and safety precautions required of its patrons. And worse still, that it is served up with a constant barrage of truly vile and hateful signs about our govt everywhere. These owners spew their hatred of the Pres Biden and his voters , 24/7 on everything! I thought there were laws in place, that prohibited discrimination by public businesses? These owners are certainly doing that with their hateful messages. It's not even political opinion, it's just hate in full force. How is this even allowed?

Have purchased food from Olivias for over a year now. Every dish I have gotten is excellent, staff is very friendly and cheerful and they keep their place immaculate. Highly recommend them to everyone.

I have been going to Olivia’s for over a year now, at least once or twice a month for their delicious meals. This past week when I went to restock my freezer I was saddened to see their new packaging. I asked about it and was told they said in the back it weighed the same as the ones prior. Oh, so wrong!! The pkg says 1.5 lbs, mine weighed 1lb. 2.5oz. Still the same price, much less content. A friend of mine had the same experience, the same untruths we’re told to her!So sad to see such a great place resort to trickery, and expect their loyal customers to accept this!
