Six of us ordered takeout dinners, all different selections and we were all pleased. The orders were ready as promised, and the food was warm and delicious. The fettuccine Alfredo was creamy, rich, and fresh and not over or undercooked. I will absolutely go to Oliva's again.

Let me tell you, we decided on a whim to go to Oliva's for my birthday dinner and THEY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. We were greeted like old friends when we walked in. Food (chicken Alfredo and eggplant parmigiana) was absolutely fantastic with large filling plates and the drinks (Moscato and Whiskey Sour) were amazing. Julie was our waitress and she was such a doll and was so kind and friendly to us. If you want a relaxed intimate experience with good company and welcome service and amazing food, you should definitely check out Oliva's!

I love Oliva's! Our service was spectacular. Dawn was full of gracious warmth and helpfulness. Her positive energy really makes the dining experience special. I love the cozy, darkened atmosphere with the brightly colored lights and fluorescent signs. Even the hostess Sherry was super gracious when we first arrived. It must be exhausting to have to shuffle all the tables when a restaurant is that popular and over-flowing with new arrivals in a tight entry space. Reservations are recommended. They are packed on weekend nights. This was our first time to have their pizza. It was excellent. Piping hot when served. We ordered sausage, pepperoni, & mushroom. The finely crumbled sausage over the pizza is what we grew up with when dining at Italian restaurants and pizza places. The crisp cracker crust when served was absolute delight. They have Parmesan shakers on the table, so you can add the extra spark to your pizza. The half carafe of wine was plenty for 2 people to share. Our guests ordered the spaghetti entree, and it came with their extraordinary good Italian salad. I love how the large salad dressing bottle on the table meant you could dress it as light or heavy to an individual's taste. I wish it was in our neighborhood, but it is definitely worth the trip!
