Will not go back 2/12/2011

This restaurant was out of penne, farfalle,papparadelle, baked clams, stuffed mushrooms, lasagna, asparagus, just to name a few. We settled on Veal Marsala and Stuffed Shells, Minestrone soup. The soup was extremely bland, nearly tasteless, but with mega loads of pepper, cheese and salt, it was drinkable. The veal was way over cooked and therefore very tough, the marsala sauce was nothing more than a silky light brown gravy however rich with mushrooms, and the stuffed shells totally lacked any flavor in its filling, I ordered a side of meatballs, which never came. Our waiter treated us to a cannoli for dessert, which ended up being the highlight of the dinner, which we enjoyed at home. We will never go back to Oliveti's again. This used to be a lovely place for dinner, but not any longer more

A side order of pasta is not to be mixed in w/ potatoes:( 11/28/2009

Its called a side order for a reason NOT potatoe pasta mash, they told me I would have to pay for another dish when it was there mistake. Come on! more

You will enjoy your visit to Olivetti Restaurant 9/29/2006

I was quite disappointed to read some of the mixed reviews that Olivetti Restaurant recently received, and having been there before I had to go back to see what, if anything had changed. My conclusion is that the others may have been having a bad day before going to Olivetti. Pros: Very nice family restaurant serving Italian food. Try the Pasta Fagioli - broth based not tomato based - for a change. Cons: Could be more parking. Does not usually accept reservations. more

Best time is to go in the summer 8/5/2005

My wife and I love to come here during the summer. Eating outside on the patio takes us away from everything for a few hours. The service is not always the greatest however, I am not there to get in and get out. Food has always been great and the ambience is what keeps bringing us back Pros: Ambience, Prices, Outside Seating Cons: Service, Parking more

rude hostess and waitstaff 1/23/2004

The hostess was extremely rude, we had a reservation but the table was not ready even though the restaurant was almost empty. The hostess asked us to step in the bar to wait for a moment (with a not so nice look on her face or tone of voice) and then a waiter scowled at my 1 1/2 year old daughter as he walked by with two glasses on a tray and barked at us, ""Watch it!"" It took 10 minutes later we get to the table and another 15 minutes later the waitress came over saying she was new and wasn't told she had the table until just then. She was extremely nice but the rest of the staff made it a restaurant not to be revisited. Definitely not recommended for anyone with children. more
