We had a fun, relaxing dinner on the outside terrace, with very good service and excellent food. Branzino over broccolini and rice was superb. Chicken Lemonde was sumptuous. The Castilla burger was one of the best veggie burgers around. We appreciated the very reasonable corkage fee for BYOB wine. After appetizers and salad, we were too full for dessert, which will have to wait until we return to The Naked Olive on our next visit to Longwood Gardens.

Wow! We were driving through Kennett Square and stopped at the Naked Olive after finding them up online. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was beyond expectation! The bread and oil and the Spanakopita were a delicious start to our meal. Our entree was the Fig & Prosciutto Flatbread and the Cavatapi A La Tartufa. The flatbread was crisp and cheesy, and the Tartufa was to die for. I can see us finding a reason to drive through this area again and this time saving room to also try their deserts.

I was here for a baby shower, and it was a great time! The food was spectacular, and all the servers were super friendly and attentive.Wheelchair accessibility: It was a bit tight in the building and getting through the doors, but my grandmother was able to maneuver with her walker without issue.

We decided to try The Naked Olive to celebrate our anniversary. So glad we did. We were welcomed and treated like old friends by both staff and owner. We loved the casual but sophisticated atmosphere. Everything was delicious, starting with the bread/olive oil/olive starter down to the yummy creme brulee. They even wrote Happy Anniversary on the dessert platter. We look forward to returning again very soon. This place is a winner for sure.

best Mediterranean food in the area served in a warm and welcoming environment. BYOB which is great too.
Me and The Hubs were in the area last fall visiting my family for almost a week. While here, we had dinner at TNO twice (after the first time, I was delighted when my mom suggested we go back a few nights later!). The decor is very pleasant and fits the bill for 'date night' (if we lived here). The food was excellent. Frankly, I don't remember what anyone else at the table ordered those two nights except for myself. Both nights I ordered the Seafood Cioppino (Shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, and fresh fish with caramelized onions and tomatoes in a light tomato fish broth served over rice). After having such a tasty meal the first night, I couldn't imagine ordering anything else. I was so amazed at the amount of seafood that was in it! I live in a land-locked state and don't see anything like this unless I make it at home. We also had apps and/or salads both nights. The first night we ordered the Grilled Octopus (marinated in citrus herb with mixed greens, and drizzled with olive oil and red vinegar). At least that's what the menu says. The octopus was on top of some kind of sauce that tasted like it had Dijon mustard in it (see photo from Pamela S dated Aug 23, 2023 that shows a sauce - that's what our app looked like). In my opinion, that mustard flavor was not complimentary. It seems like if the octopus is going to be served with an emulsified 'sauce' (and not 'drizzled with olive oil and red vinegar) the restaurant might want to state that on the menu. But Pamela S loved it... Anyway everything else we had - salads, dips and pita, etc. was super good. If I lived nearby, this place would definitely be in our regular 'date nite' rotation!

First time visit, all the food that came out the kitchen looked so good! We ordered the calabrian sandwich, flat bread and trio dip. And it was all so amazing. The server was incredibly attentive and so kind!

Food, atmosphere and food are excellent. Highly recommend most items but their mushroom soup is the best and that's saying a lot for Kennett Square.
It has a very good atmosphere and good service. The food is excellent. The dishes are very exquisite.
