OLIVIA
Inspired by his daughter Olivia, Executive Chef Sam Morcos redefines true Authentic Italian American cuisine.
"Only at OLIVIA's, where families can join for cheers, and Music feeds the Soul."
Towards the front of the restaurant, a Glam copper bar serves up libations such as Chocolate or Orange/Blue Curacao Martinis. Live music from famed pianists can be heard on Tuesdays thru Saturday. There is wine rack divider for a private party room towards the rear, which is available for special events and celebrations.
The menu at OLIVIA features a wide array of great selections, made from only the freshest and highest quality ingredients, and local market, fresh picked items.

"We consistently are impressed by Olivia - every meal we've had there (there have been many dinners, lunches, and brunches) is always phenomenal. The food is always high-quality and prepared perfectly, and the staff are friendly and courteous. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but my personal favorite is the spaghetti with meatballs - they're to die for."

"We went to Olivia on a Sunday evening. It was not crowded, but the service was very slow. We had to ask for water refills and our main courses took a very long time to come out. They were out of the dish I wanted, so I got one of the specials, a seafood pasta. It tasted ok, but the clams and shrimp were overcooked and the mussels were gritty. The other two entrees were better but not great. I don't think I'll be going back."

"Decent experience. We had a Groupon so it was worth it. There are other places worth paying full price for. The food was good but not out of this world delicious. It's worth a try if you have a discount."
