I recently visited Olive Press Oakville, and it was a fantastic experience overall. The restaurant has a spacious and inviting atmosphere, and the food was tasty. However, one thing they could improve is the presentation of the dishes. Despite this, don't miss out on trying their delicious tiramisu! Also, there's plenty of parking available in the back. Overall, I had a great time at Olive Press and would definitely go back.

This is my favourite Italian restaurant in the Burlington/Oakville area. Excellent menu, food and wonderful staff. Highly recommend going there.
Food here was average. But our server made us feel very comfortable and welcoming. We left happy from here, but the food was just not our taste or perhaps the Italian food that we have tried at other restaurants is not comparable with this, as this was lacking seasoning.

This was a place that we went to for a treat and it is typically amazing but today it was not… the new charge for the bread started us off on the wrong foot, the calzone had minimal content on the inside and the pizza was overly garlicky. Our salad was awesome. We were underwhelmed and with so many choices probably won’t go back. Smaller portions, higher quality would lead to a better experience

Good food, but it's strange to me that they charge for some table bread.The no reservations thing might work for them, but I won't bring any large parties here for this reason. Tried once, and they wouldn't even seat us until every member of our party arrived. If the table for 12 is set up, why can't you sit 11 people while we wait for the last? We were lucky they weren't busy and could accommodate us. I didn't want to have to try and scramble for other ideas while in the parking lot.The service is alright as long as a large group doesn't get sat in your section as the poor servers are so overwhelmed with the large party, that the date night tables get abandoned.
This place was super busy on Valentine’s Day and we had to wait for longer time but it’s worth the wait. Food was great. Highly recommended.

It's got a franchised feeling to it, but the portions are generous enough and the food was tasty. The pricing, for what it is, could be reduced. 20 bucks for Mozzarella sticks is hilarious to me, but when you're craving fried cheese, you'll pay just about anything, won't you? Haha. Servers can be seen struggling between tables sometimes, it's very "strategically organized" to maximize how many tables can fit in a room to the point that servers can't get around certain sections. I felt frustrated on their behalf.

Management is driving this place into the ground. Used to love eating from here but the way they treat their staff is disgusting. I’ve seen some great servers and bartenders leave here even though they like it. I’ve gone here with friends and family before, we had this one server, Brittney, who was so knowledgeable and friendly, polite and funny, but now she isn’t there to make us feel welcome anymore. The managers are always Yelling at staff and making them run around and not even letting them sit down to do their cash out is beyond stupid. This is supposed to be a welcoming place, the one manager, Chrissy, and this other older chick named Barb just bark orders at everyone and are rude to customers very regularly. With these two running the show, I’d stay far away from this place.
Great place for family to eat.
