Server was super attentive and friendly. Bread came out hot and the dip was really yummy. Same for my main dish, chicken parm, which was fresh and delicious. Pasta was perfect. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Came in for a late dinner. There was only one table being served at the time. Water and a basket of warm bread with a bowl of tomato tapas came soon after we sat. I ordered the love martini and my partner ordered some kind of chocolate coffee martini (idr the name). Mine was cute, light, sweet flavor. His was creamy and big coffee flavor. The waitress told us all the specials of the day by memory without breaking a sweat. I asked if they had any gluten free pasta because it's not on the menu. They had penne so I ordered the Bolognese. He ordered the chicken noodle soup special, meatball Parm appetizer, and the margherita pie. The meatball Parm and soup came out first. The meatball Parm comes with three meatballs. I wasn't a huge fan but he liked it. The soup came in a big bowl. The noodles were short thin and straight. There were pieces of potatoes, chicken, and spinach in it. He really enjoyed it. My gluten free penne Bolognese came in the same big bowl as the soup. I could only eat half. Sometimes restaurants over cook gluten free pasta but they didnt. I enjoyed the meat sauce. The margherita pie is good enough one but Max two. It was a thin crust pizza. He liked it. They have a small list of desserts but we couldn't fit anymore food. The waitress checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. My few complaints is there's no parking lot and street parking fills up fast. The restaurant was cold. The appetizers are the same amount as entrees.

My family and I went to Trattoria Oliveto for the very first time the other night. The food and service were both phenomenal. All three of us had cocktails, including Cosmopolitans, French Martinis, and an Old Fashioned, and each drink was well-made and very tasty.For apps, we had the following: the special calamari stuffed with shrimp, crab meat, and breadcrumbs in tomato sauce, which was extremely tender and well-seasoned. We ordered the short rib special which was served over polenta flavored with pecorino Romano cheese, and without exaggeration, these were the best short ribs I have ever had. The short ribs were perfectly cooked and paired so well with the polenta, I really cannot overstate how delicious it was. My brother ordered the meatball appetizer which was served in a robust tomato sauce and enrobed in melted mozzarella cheese—also delicious!For our entrees, we had the special striped bass with peppers, artichokes, and caper berries in a white wine sauce, served with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. I had the veal parmigiana with penne and my brother had a white pizza with prosciutto di Parma, arugula, and shaved parm. We all thoroughly enjoyed our entrees and were so stuffed by the generous portions that we had plenty of food to bring home.Run—don't walk—to this great local spot. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the kitchen staff and our lovely server for making it such a great experience for us.

This place is great for a quick bite, lunch and perfect for date night. Came here with my husband for dinner and as soon as we walked in we were welcomed in by Roberto and he seated us right away. The holiday decor is very eye catching and so pretty. The restaurant is spotless! The ambiance is very refreshing and the food is absolutely delicious; so good we couldn’t help but take some leftovers home and we also requested a container of their delicious tomato sauce. The food was very fresh and the dessert's were very very delicious. Can’t wait to come back!
