“We came with 6 kids (ages 2-7) and my GAWD was the staff patient! Despite the chaos we brought, the waiter/server still answered ALL of our questions and didn't skip a beat on details. And the food...Oh My Gawd, delicious is an understatement! I can't wait to return without children to actually get to eat my food at a slower pace. Do not walk here, RUN!“

We had amazing chicken Marsala with green salad and lentil soup for appetizer.
One of the best Italian places on New York in our opinion!

Highly recommended !“

Really never had a better restaurant that Olivetto, I think is one of the best in Staten Island.

Even the owner Benny very friendly and very kind!

Thanks for offering this kind of food and service to our community.

Highly recommend it to all my friends and family and others!“

“Wow what an AMAZING place. Service and Food were both outstanding. We definitely will return again. Thank you Giacamo for everything.“

“We love this place! The homemade pasta is phenomenal! The service here is always outstanding and the drinks are fabulous! However, it gets very loud. Almost to the point where you can't hear the people sitting across from you. With that said, it never deters us from returning and the little almond biscottis they serve with espresso makes up for it!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. I definitely will be back.“

“We had our daughters Sweet 16 dinner there last night with about 30 people. Everything was perfect! The staff was attentive, the food was delicious and the prices are just right. This was our second time here and we will continue as customers.“

“Very nice place. Prices are a bit on the higher side but the quality is there. Service was very good with unobtrusive professional staff. The dining room is nice but cramped. Party room opens across from the dining area which can get noisy if there's a party going on. Highly recommend“

“I only ate here 2x, I now live in Florida. the food,service, everything fantastic“

“The food was so fresh and delicious and the portions were huge! What I was most impressed with however was how our waiter took the initiative to ask if anyone had any allergies when taking our order. My mom has a pepper allergy and usually will mention it, but never has a waiter/waitress taken the initiative to ask. We really appreciated that.“

“Owners Frank and Carmen treat you like family from the minute you walk in. It’s a small cozy place which we loved. We are all food lovers used to eating out and yet we were all impressed when we tried all the fresh specials Frank prepared off menu. The Tomahawk steak was absolutely amazing especially with his own special sauce that accompanied it. The eggplant pasta special with olives was phenomenal. Carmen was lovely making sure we were attended to and uncorked our wine as it is a BYOB for now. Both of them made a special birthday dessert tray for me as a surprise. They both genuinely care that you feel happy with your entire food experience. So give it a try and get the specials of the day you will be glad you did.“

“Without a doubt, the best restaurant for Italian food, especially their pizza, in Staten Island. Food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful, always answering questions customers may have, delivery is prompt, and food is delivered nice and hot. I always recommend Pizzaoili to friends and family. In fact, can't wait to enjoy Mothers Day there. Have had many celebrations at Pizzaioli and have never been disappointed.“

“Excellent food and service. A hidden gem.“
