Elsa and Tito were such amazing hosts during our anniversary. The cocktails and conversation were top notch!

Great date night and nicer dinner spot. Good lighting and good cocktails. Fan of their drink menu as well. Bathroom allows you to write chalk on the wall which is fun. Got the duck and highly recommend. The gluten free pasta is very good too

This is elegant restaurant, beautiful inside with a nice har as well as street side outdoor seating. We went there around Sunday noon and got a table right away.
We started with avocado with chips that was absolutely delicious. For entree I got the chicken and biscuits. Unfortunately the chicken and the biscuits both tasted average. I had a much higher expectation for the quality and taste of the chicken.
Our server was really friendly. She did a nice job. But they needed about 35 minutes to serve our main course. We utilized the extra waiting time to roam around the restaurant and the neighborhood street.

Just came back for dinner after not having been in awhile and the food is all still great. Ordered too much, but had the stuffed figs, steak tacos, and split the spicy rigatoni for starters. All of the food was excellent. Pasta is not a typical “trendy” spicy rig which I appreciated; it’s a pink sauce with sausage, cherry peppers, mushrooms, mozz pearls…very good. Both our mains very good as well, wife got the split chicken and I had the pork chop, two proteins that could easily be overcooked and neither were dry. Drinks were decent, with the espresso martini being the standout - the best in Hoboken imo. Place is pretty pricey, $35 pasta pricey, but it’s all very good so you get what you pay for I guess?

I was invited to a birthday party at Olivia’s, and the experience was so wonderful, I felt inspired to write a review.
First of all the drinks were some of the most delicious I’ve ever had, and the food was delicious. Everyone at our table kept talking about how much they loved it!
The ambiance is warm and elegant, with a design that clearly reflects a great sense of taste. And then… the live jazz started. It felt like an unexpected gift. We all love jazz, but the moment the singer began, we were captivated completely in love with her voice. It’s the kind of voice that feels like a hug… warm, soulful, and special.
She even came over to our table graciously asking if the sound was good and if we could still chat comfortably. Her kind personality added even more to the experience.
The service was attentive and welcoming, Thank you, Olivia’s, for a heartwarming evening.

We had our wedding reception at Olivia’s in June and could not have been happier! The food was absolutely incredible—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still raving about it!! The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and intimate, creating the perfect backdrop for our celebration. What truly stood out was the staff—their kindness, attentiveness, and dedication to making sure everything was perfect made the night sooo special. Ilysa and her team at Olivia’s went above and beyond, and we will be forever grateful for such an unforgettable experience!

Wonderful restaurant! Lamb meatballs, Spicy Rigatoni, and Flat Iron Steak were absolutely phenomenal. The dirty martinis were fantastic. Could not recommend more highly.
Lovely brunch place at Hoboken area. They have indoor and outdoor seats. It was a nice day so we sat outside.
The waitress and the staff were very nice and friendly. Guac and chips were very good. flavorful and crispy chips.
Steak and eggs were good. Steak came out how I wanted it. Juicy and tender. Waffle was soft and puffy. Actually pretty good. Unsweeten ice tea was basic.
I just wish all the portions are a little bigger. I was still craving for food after the meal. Overall a solid spot for brunch tho.

I hosted my bridal shower at Olivia’s yesterday and it was absolutely perfect. Firstly, Ilysa was so helpful in ensuring every question I had was answered, and was super responsive and beyond incredible. The staff was warm, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The space itself is stunning,bright, welcoming, and ideal for an intimate event. The food was delicious and every guest left raving about it. Olivia’s created such a special, stress free experience for me and my guests. Highly recommend for anyone planning a shower, brunch, or celebration!

I wanted to like this place, but it fell short in just about every metric. I had a very enjoyable cocktail, but it went promptly downhill afterwards. Ultimately, it is the service that makes Olivia’s fall flat. At first, the service was almost abrasive and intrusive, but as the meal progressed, our server was nowhere to be found. Our water glasses ran empty several times throughout the dinner, with many other staff members walking by, noticing, and ignoring this. My guest had to ask for refills multiple times, and many of the people at neighboring tables looked irritated with the service as well, and also had empty water glasses. The Mediterranean plate appetizer was fair, but had a laughable portion size for $24. Had the spicy vodka rigatoni as my entree, and was beyond disappointed with the dish. The vodka sauce from a mason jar at the grocery store exceeds that of Olivia’s. Additionally, for a pasta dish with only sliced sausage links as a protein, $35 is a laughable price. My guest and I wanted to stay for dessert, but the server took more than 10 minutes to check back on us after our entree plates were cleared. Not once during the meal did our server (or any other team member, for that matter) ask how we were enjoying our meal. Prompt or enthusiastic service with any sort of recommendations could have steered us in a different direction while ordering, and potentially saved the flailing experience. All in all, while the decor is cute and charming, the food was below average, and the service was even less impressive. Safe to say I will not be returning.
