Service was amazing. We were a little late for our resy due to traffic, and added an extra person at the last minute, and they kindly accommodated us without any issue. Food was delicious! We will be returning, and soon!

We asked for 3 separate checks and Waoter divided bill by 2 instead of 3 and gave each of us one. This was fraud and the waiter was rude. I think his name was Niko or something

Came here for lunch. The portions were good. But when I was having the lobster ravioli there was a piece of shell that almost chipped my tooth off⊠would appreciate more attention to that in the future. Other minor notes: the burrata pizza didnât have good air bubbles in there so the edges and the pizza are a bit too chewy for my liking. The lemon risotto was too sour with the sourness not very well balanced. The sauce in the risotto was more on the liquid side and not well incorporated with the risotto.

Oliver's Trattoria is a good balance between fine-dining and occasional restaurant.
Environment is classic while romantic, particularly love the fountain in front of it. There's both indoor and outdoor dining area, like the outdoor one the better.
Ordered their seafood spaghetti đ, probably the most delicious one I've ever had, the freshness and seasoning of the shrimps are perfect, in the way that you can totally taste the sea. Meanwhile, the little bit spicy tomato sauce goes so well with the seafood, I literally ate all the sauce using spoon đ„.

Nice atmosphere and good service. The risotto of the day was great but the pappardelle were overcooked. The oxtail sauce was good though.
Great service and environment. Had an issue an they quickly resolved it with amazing kindness/time

This restaurant was a huge disappointment. We came here for the first time to celebrate my fatherâs birthday, and it completely ruined the occasion.
The food was awful. The meatballs were basically flour with almost no meat. The house special spaghetti was severely undercooked and had absolutely no flavor. The lasagna was shockingly bland, easily the worst weâve ever had. The pizza was overcooked, with a burnt, inedible crust.
The wait time was extremely long, and when the food finally arrived, it was still poorly made. On top of that, the restaurant is very expensive for such terrible quality. We left hungry and frustrated.
This was our first and absolutely last time dining here. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

A get together over dinner at one of my favorite Italian restaurants. This time I came to Irvine location also the 2nd location that opened werenât too long ago. Love their food. Especially truffle dishes. I forgot to take the truffle pizza it was the best lol. Other dishes were good too. But my fav still the pizza. Restaurant very cozy, nice. Itâs in a plaza with Albertsons, Starbucks, banks so plenty of free parking spot. Staffs were wonderful. I come to both locations often.

Upon check in it seemed chaotic. The hostess was on a cell phone running back and forth and never acknowledged us. Then a man came up to check us in... I told him my name 3x and he kept reading back the wrong reservation. Finally we're seated and first hostess walks over and asks if we had a reservation??? Our server was a bit frenetic and kept pushing alcohol and saying he was the birthday present for the birthday girl. Food was just ok. Pear salad was not good at all and we couldn't eat it. It was all very bitter radicchio and endive. Barely any pears or cheese and no dressing. Pizza was ok. Overall mediocre...probably won't return.
