Olivea - Kingston

This Italian restaurant has a classic feel to it. I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance, which enhanced the delicious food. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and they were happy to engage in casual conversation. The portion sizes were generous, and the unlimited bread was a standout feature of the meal. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

A very tight squeeze and was super packed in the evening, and they unfortunately do not offer take out during that time. We opted for lunch takeout the following day. Our meals were tasty, steak was well cooked. Love that they offer gluten free pasta!

I had a great dinner on the patio, with Sam serving us. The standout dish was the ravioli Gorgonzola, made with fresh ingredients and a light tomato sauce - it was delicious. The truffle frites with Parmesan were crispy and tasty. The only downside was the lack of accessible washrooms, so I can't give a perfect score.

I visited this restaurant on a Wednesday during the March break and it was very busy. Despite that, we were able to find a seat at the bar. We ordered the bruschetta, bolognese, a beer, and dessert, and everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place, but I suggest making reservations in advance.

After three attempts in the summer of 2021, I finally scored a table at Olivea and had a fantastic dinner. I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while after hearing great reviews, but they were always so busy that the wait times on my last two visits didn't fit my schedule. I'm so glad I went tonight though. The staff were incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. My family mostly ordered pasta dishes, but I can't wait to come back and try some of their other offerings. And I have to mention, the Tiramisu is a must-try!
