• Mediterranean • Northvale

Booked 24 times today

From its humble beginnings in the quaint Hudson River town of Piermont, New York, Olar was known for serving up rustic Neapolitan pies, classic Spanish tapas, and hand crafted pastas that drew in both locals and foodies from all parts of New Jersey, upstate New York, and New York City and kept them coming back for over a decade.Now in its new location in Northvale, New Jersey, the restaurant, now known as Olar Noso - which means "our home" in Galego, the language spoken in Galicia where the Dominguez family is from - is an evolution in not only name alone.They have managed to scale the restaurant concept generously while replicating the quality and preserving the reputation the former Olar had garnered over the years. Evolving into Olar Noso meant giving Olar's loyal customers everything they loved, while also enhancing their experience with more seating, more elbow room, a full bar, a private event space, and, finally, ample parking.

Everything was great! If you are looking for a quiet dinner, sit as far from the bar area as possible. The bar is quite loud.

Love this restaurant ever since their early days in Piermont. Matt makes you feel so welcome. The food is consistently delicious. The red sangria a great opener along with the Spanish fries. If you’re a fish lover you must try the salmon. The skirt steak yum, tapas the tops. Pizza thin & perfect. Dessert, panna cotta my fav. Yes the noise level is high but the food, service, ambiance certainly makes up for it.
