We have enjoyed olio pizzeria. So we thought we would try the restaurant. Maybe it was an off night? Our pastas were undercooked, extremely salty and not very strong on flavor. The seafood pasta had a very strong smell. One dinner was reimbursed and we were given a free dessert but I would not go back and eat there after that experience.
Olio is always busy when there's a concert in town but they always manage to provide a rewarding dining experience. One flaw in service that would greatly help the servers,too, is have a host or hostess posted during the crush times. The servers step up when they can but mostly people are left standing by the door, painfully aware no one is coming to acknowledge them nor seat them. Otherwise the food, service & ambience are well above average.
Lovely Mediterranean menu for lunch. We started with a delicious potato leek salad, the we had great main courses. Terrific wine. All in all, lovely lunch in quiet relaxing setting with good service.
