   We had chicken Parmesan (good, but marinara was awful), lasagna (small piece, bland and cold in the center), and chicken Alfredo (totally flavorless!).

   We ate our first lunch on Sunday afternoon after arriving from Orlando. Everything was delicious…from appetizers to salads to entrees, and we are very picky! We had our last dinner there last night because we knew we wanted pizza. Based on our previous dining experience, we knew that it was just what we were looking for…and it was more! Thank you!

   L’Olivo is one our favorites in Naples. The food is excellent, the service is outstanding and the ambience is welcoming. We always try to introduce friends to L’Olivo because we love it so much and our friends always go back. The food it true Italian. A place not to be missed!

   Service was absolutely terrible, I do not blame the waitress I think overbooked & understaffed. We waited over half an hour before she came to the table I believe she had no clue our table was in her section & was summoned over to serve us. The food was not good did not have flavor. What I asked for in my pasta did not come when returned to the kitchen I waited another 20 minutes before it came back the rest of the table was done their meal. Will never go back

    Granted it was NYE. I made note it was our anniversary on the reservation and they did nothing. We were sat with no menus. We actually had to ask for them. And had to get a servers attention to bring us water. I don’t think we will go back. Many other choices for mediocre Italian food.

    Low quality poor service and very loud. Do not expect anything special about this establishment. Servers forgot food that was ordered, didn’t know what they were setting in front of you and were not attentive. I would not recommend.

    Didn’t have the highest expectations because of previous reviews, and wanted to give L’Olivo another shot. Unfortunately, it seemed our waiter didn’t like his job/didn’t care. We asked if we could substitute one of the meats on the pizza and he said “for sure we can definitely do that for you”. 30 min later, the pizza is delivered with the wrong meat by another server and we send it back and say we wanted spicy sausage instead. 5 min later our waiter brings back out the same pizza and tells us they no longer have any sausage (and why did he wait this long to tell us??). Anyway he gave us a menu to choose another item, but didn’t return to our table until 10 minutes later to take the order, when everyone else was already done with their meal. We said forget it let’s get the check. It’s all about customer service, and unfortunately this restaurant is not satisfactory in that area.

    It was Christmas Eve, so we arrived early for dinner and the restaurant was not busy at that time. We had a lovely dinner and enjoyed each other's company. The food was prepared vey well, especially a dietary restricted meal for one diner.

    They brought the wrong wine three times and tried to convince me it was right. Not only was it the wrong year, it was the wrong brand. They were promoting lesser wines for the same price as what was on the menu. My wife and I are sommeliers so we know a bit about wine and it is bad when the manager and the server is trying to convince you that the wine is right. The food was also mediocre, they did not bring bread, and service was slow. Will not go back.

    We took four of our friends and we’re very embarrassed. The service was terrible. Three of our dinners came cold. They never came back to fill our waters last two times we’ve been there they’ve given us happy hour at our table last night they charged $16.50 for a vodka tonic. Very disappointed. Last 2 times were great. Not sure we will be back any time soon

    We have been consistently going to L’Olivio almost every Friday for the last few years. We have been very happy! It’s our go to for Friday night pizza. We have had Heidi 90% of the time as our server. She is excellent!! Her memory for what we order is amazing. She is kind, witty and very attentive to our dining needs. She has recently become the manager and she will be exceptional in her new role. We had our usual Friday night dinner there last night and had another couple join us for the downtown holiday celebration/tree lighting. As you can imagine, it was packed. Tables were placed outside on the streets for all the restaurants. Despite the overwhelming number of guests last night, our pizza came out hot and delicious! Yes, we had to wait longer than usual but we all understood how crowded it was and how busy they were. Despite everything that they were dealing with, our new server was nearly as good as Heidi!! We will return.

    We thought it was supposed to be a special evening on 5th avenue and we made reservations here. It didn’t seem very special. We got our steps in as Waze had us all the way into the residential section. So we decided to just loop back and find someplace else. We stopped here, read the menu and decided a place was good enough (considering I was looking forward to this place). Well, it turns out it was exactly the place for which I made our reservation. Lol. The pizza and salad was as I expected. The bruschetta was very different than I had tasted elsewhere but was tasty. The service was very responsive.

    We have eaten here several times and most times it is good but this last visit was disappointing. Main course came out before we finished our salads and then we had to wait for dessert after asking several times where it was. Hope they get their act together before season gets into full swing.

    L’Olivo never disappoints us. It is our “go to” restaurant for Italian food. My husband loves the homemade bolognese sauce which is made fresh daily. He could eat that every day. Early bird prices make dining easier on the pocketbook. Keep up the hard work L’Olivo! We’ll be back!

    This location has been one of our favorites in the past. We have never been charged $6 per kids drink as we were this night and we were also charged $18 vs $7 for a kids portion of buttered noodles because we ordered “rigatoni”. They offer no physical kids menu, never have since we have gone. I have never had to question their kids menu in the past as they always have been kid friendly. The server later said the kid’s menu only includes penne noodles, but again they don’t offer a menu or tell you when ordering for a 7 yr old. When I questioned, they charged my card then asked me after the fact what my question was? Gratuity was added to party of 5 for the first time ever for us as well. They charged us $6 for each children’s drink for a kids meal. Bread used to come before our meal, but not last night!! We had to ask tor it and it came out with our dinners. We had to ask for refills several times. I always tip more than 20% so it was her loss to add the 18% gratuity. When I have to chase my server down for my appetizer bread, refills for alcohol, and boxes for food, I shouldn’t be charged for gratuity. I am very disappointed for the first time ever and it will cause our family to never return.

    L'Olivo was a great place to have lunch for our special Mother, Daughter, Granddaughter day. We really enjoyed Luciana our waitress. She was very attentive, knowledgeable, and gave great suggestions for lunch choices on the menu. The food was delicious. And the cost was not bad at all. We will be back again for our special monthly lunch date.

    The restaurant itself could use a revamp and freshen up, and we must have hit a quiet period as we were one of only 2 dining tables in the main area, so not much ambience. That said, the food was good, and great portions.
