We went to Olivia's for my sisters birthday. It was our first time. We had Louis as a server, and he was absolutely amazing. He gave us some great suggestions for appetizers, and entrees. It's a lovely restaurant, excellent service, and fair prices. We will definitely be back. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Thinking of a nice place for dinner? Olivia's is amazing. Had the lobster ravioli, mom had the scallops, both were amazing. So was the tiramisu! When we lost El Rancho several years ago, I have not had a favorite restaurant. Now I think I do: Olivia's is amazing.

Well cooked Italian cuisine. We enjoyed all the dishes here. We started with a flavorful bruschetta appetizer that had a generous amount of Ricardo cheese. I had the Pollo parmesana with well cooked pasta and my wife had the fettuccine bolognese which was flavored quite well. We were only able to finish half of our meals due to the generous portions. Both were piping hot when served. Decent wine list and a bar if you want mixed drinks. Finished with a very good shared sllice of chocolate cake. Def recommended.Wheelchair accessibility: Looks to be convenient accessibility from the parking lot

Owners are wonderful people, kind, attentive, very warm atmosphere. Drinks are lovely, try the paper plane. The mussels and dessert were lovely. We only went for drinks and appetizers, but we'll be going back with some folks for dinner this month!

We went to Olivia's on a Tuesday afternoon. We were the only people in the restaurant sat at the bar. Asked for a bottle of house Cabernet which they did not have in stock and then he proceeded to try and sell me a bottle that was 30 dollars more. Needless to say we got up and left.

Just awesome!!! Never has chicken parm this way but unbelievable flavors. Cost is very reasonable to me for what I got. I normally don’t have leftovers but today it was a lot of food.

Had a fantastic dinner last night at Olivia's. The chicken Parma was excellent. Service was very good. Atmosphere quiet and romantic!

Tried their bruschetta con mozzarella and it was delicious. They added freshly made mozzarella. They are very accommodating for vegetarians and can add any veggies from their kitchen as per your choice. Very friendly staff. One drawback is that we could see flies which is a big turn off. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed every dish and drink we ordered for.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming! I only wish they checked on us more as we waited for the final member of our party to arrive because we were ready to order an appetizer.The food was delicious! My friend ordered the chicken marsala and another friend got the chicken Parmesan while I enjoyed the lasagna. As a starter, we got fried calamari which was also scrumptious. There was bread waiting for us on the table which we tried but it was hard and a little stale.I would absolutely go back again and recommend it to others!Kid-friendliness: There was a kids menu and coloring at the table.
