Terrific meal, Linguine with Wild caught Shrimp. I took half of it home. They did not spare on the shrimp either and were able to leave out the peppers for me.

Have been many times and love it but today was very disappointing. Sat on patio. We ordered everything at once. The soup was excellent and came promptly. We then waited forever for the entrees and no server said anything as we waited. The kale and celery pasta, which my wife has had several times before was incredibly bland and was lukewarm. My trout was overcooked and also bland. Has the expansion made the crowd to large for the kitchen to handle?

Waste of money. Blue crab finger appetizer is $22 and our server informed us they come out of a can, and even told us the brand name. The appetizer itself only comes with about 7. Pasta is watery and flavorless.

loved the rigatoni. well portioned and perfectly al dente. unfortunately, we ended up waiting a long time for our food because they served our food to the wrong table. however! this was made up by two scoops of complimentary gelato. the balanced mix of vanilla and chocolate gelato was thick and rich. big fan of the chandelier collection across the ceiling!

Had dinner at 6:30 on a Wednesday night. Place was packed despite rainy weather but was able to grab a seat at the bar. Bartenders were really busy so service started a little slow but they were generally attentive, no complaints. Got the pancetta and potato ravioli with a side of sauteed kale. Very tasty. Other dishes around me smelled really good too. Cocktail drink was also tasty.

We were very disappointed with our food and the table set up. I had orcheiette with shrimp and the shrimp had an unfortunate fishy flavor that is usually only present if the ship has sat around too long. We also had the cherry pana cotta which was fairly flavorless. I don't mind a cozy small restaurant. But this set up was uncomfortable. You are sitting so close to the table beside you that if you sit in the booth seat, there isn't enough room to get in or out. Alternatively if you get a chair you are constantly bumped from people walking down the aisle. We are average sized adults. I don't think we will be back.

Food was decent, but experience was ruined with long wait for food (almost an hour) even though we were there when they opened and were the first to put in order for food. Restaurant is very cramped and loud tables next to you will ruin the experience

I took my husband out for his birthday last night. We could not hear ourselves speak. The people next to us were insanely loud it was so rude….. and the food was very gross. My pasta was extremely cold and my husband’s was as well. We didn’t even finish our meal. We have loved coming to uliveto but last night was our last time.

The food was incredible. The dining room was beautiful. The cocktails were disappointingly bad. Server came to take our plates but didn’t follow up to ask if we needed other beverages, food, et al.

What a Gem!

My recent dining experience was a vibrant celebration of Mediterranean flavors, fresh ingredients, and warm hospitality. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, creating a memorable meal from start to finish.

We began with the heirloom tomato salad, a simple yet stunning starter. Thick wedges of red and golden tomatoes were topped with ribbons of fresh basil and drizzled with a perfectly balanced balsamic reduction. The tomatoes were at peak ripeness—sweet, juicy, and bursting with summer flavor.

Next came the shrimp and artichoke linguine, which was the star of the meal. The pasta was generously coated in a light tomato-based sauce, rich with olive oil and brightened by fresh herbs. Tender shrimp, spinach, artichoke hearts, and cherry tomatoes added texture and complexity, while crumbled feta offered a tangy contrast that tied everything together.

The baked eggplant parmesan was a comforting classic, served piping hot in a ceramic dish. Layers of thinly sliced eggplant were smothered in marinara and topped with bubbling melted cheese and a sprinkle of grated parmesan. A single fresh basil leaf added a fragrant finishing touch.

Finally, the whole grilled fish, served with a fresh arugula salad and lemon slices, was expertly cooked—crispy skin on the outside, moist and flaky on the inside. The arugula provided a peppery crunch, and a squeeze of lemon brightened every bite.

The attention to detail, bold yet balanced flavors, and artful plating made this meal feel like a true Mediterranean escape. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for honest, flavorful food in a cozy and colorful setting.
