Good food and ok service ... fantastically refreshing panna cotta; tight spaces and loud noise.

We had a reservation and overall had a great experience. However, our initial impression was unfortunately tainted by the host, whose attitude was unprofessional and unwelcoming. She was rude, unprofessional, and argumentative when we asked for a covered table, even though rain was expected. When I requested to speak with the manager, she argued and checked the weather on her phone, telling us it wouldn't rain until 5 PM (our reservation was at 4:15 PM and 5 minutes after we sat, it started pouring and everyone had to be moved inside). It felt dismissive and confrontational rather than accommodating. This was disappointing, especially as it was our first impression of the place. The host(whose name I believe starts with “J” and has long hair) did not reflect the quality of service the rest of the team provided. Thankfully, a friend of mine who's a regular guest encouraged us to stay for the pasta, which turned out to be worth it. I hope this feedback helps improve future guest experiences

It's overhyped, I went there to really try it out as I saw it all over social media. There was no cutlery on my table when we got there and even when the appetizer came in, so I had to ask for it. The Cesar salad came without any serving spoon for me to put it in my salad plate. Olio e piu being an Italian spot, I expected a fine Cesar salad but there were barely any croutons on that and the salad itself looked dull. The vegetarian options are limited to one or two options. For seafood folks, there's also one pasta option with shrimp and you don't really have the liberty to switch or substitute proteins in any other items on the menu so whatever comes the way on the menu you have to take it that way. Lastly, music was loud, I could hardly hear the server. I thought i ordered the shrimp pasta but got the truffle one. Both of pastas i ordered were extremely salty that we couldn't finish the entire thing. I did not complain to server about our food, but writing this review as this was just not it for the price of food I paid. I do not recommend.

Food was amazing. Bruschetta appetizer, bolognese entree and tiramisu dessert. Wait staff was great! Right on the corner making street eating ideal for people watching and observing the town. Only criticism I can give is the free bread served prior to your meal was very basic- could be improved. Will definitely be back!

We enjoyed an awesome meal. Our server Nicholas was super friendly and attentive. We loved the ambiance too.

The tables outside are stacked together too closely, they have done a good job with the plants but we were too close to our neighbors and it felt like we're talking in our ears. The service was great, we were not rushed and the food was good too. We had the chicken Milanese and branzibo, both delicious. Tiramisu was a bit of a letdown especially for their signature dessert. Felt like it was sitting in fridge for a while, we have had much better!

A pesar que había hecho reserva con antelación, me ubicaron en la barra y en un sector muy incómodo y que pasaba mucha gente. Hay muchísimo ruido ambiente! Hablan todos a los gritos

We ordered the spaghetti carbonara and pollo Milanese and they were both really delicious. It's rare to see a restaurant here using Guanciale in the carbonara. The chicken was crunchy yet juicy.

Good food but very loud and crowded . Felt like I was packed into a corner. The carbonara and fettuccine with truffles were very good.

I greatly enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. First of all the ambience is so very west village New York, beautiful outdoor receiving, plans and flowers everywhere. So well decorated and cute. The noise level because of the area is high but bearable. The shining star of my experience was my entrées and appetizer. I chose the squid ink fettuccine with the seafood sauce. My partner chose the pasta with broccolini and sausage. Both were so surprisingly delicious, saucy and flavorful. I had the beet salad as an appetizer. It was so interestingly, flavored with olive oil, goat cheese, and micro greens.  I highly recommend this restaurant as a matter fact I told my mom to visit it before she attends theater show this week.
Very good experience, the staff was very nice and the food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

We were fortunate to book on a beautiful night weather wise so we ate on the patio. Thus was fun in and of itself. The food was great and the people watching could not be beat. Our server was personable and helpful. He was just a pleasure for us to interact with. Great exoerience.

One of my favorites, but they never have enough wait staff. And mistakes are made. Perfect pasta
Jody
Food was super salty and was so crowded that we were literally touching the people next to us.

Positive experience at Olio e Più; delicious food, we had pizza and orecchiette and a wonderful tiramisú. Our server Nicholas was very attentive and ready to answer any of our questions. We went there for lunch, sat outside, lovely atmosphere. The menu is quite varied and offers so many specialities from Italy; several gluten free options as well. Highly recommend
