Uliveto is a warm and inviting restaurant known for its fantastic food and attentive service. The space is small but intimate, making it a great choice for a cozy meal. Guests are encouraged to make reservations ahead of time. Highlights include the delicious olive bread, although it could be served warm, and the octopus special. Many reviews praise the appetizers, such as the blue crab fingers and bacon and halloumi bruschetta, which is delicious and reasonably priced. The flounder entree is cooked well, but the portion size is large and the presentation could use some improvement. The restaurant offers a wide variety of flavors in its main dishes, including the Veal Ragu Pappardelle, Limon Pasta, and Amatriciana, all noted for their great flavor and large portions. The espresso martini remains a must-try, considered the best in the area. The Vanilla Panna Cotta with fresh berries is described as delicate and flavorful. To enhance the dining experience, a separate wine bottle menu could be considered. The rigatoni was well portioned and perfectly al dente, with some guests enjoying complimentary gelato as a sweet ending. The atmosphere includes a chandelier collection across the ceiling, adding to the charm. The restaurant can get busy, but attentive service is maintained even during peak hours. Overall, with its focus on smaller menus and well-executed dishes, Uliveto has the potential to become a beloved community staple.
