About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Good for groups
Neighborhood gem

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.

We had a very good experience for a party of eight, celebrating a milestone birthday. Our server was very helpful, making suggestions that would work best for a large group, and the amount of food was perfect. For all of the food and drinks, the meal was also extremely reasonably priced in my opinion.

We love trying the specials while enjoying our regular staples and cocktails. The ceviche or tartare are always our favorite additions. The Alejandro is the best drink.

Make host spent 10 minutes wiling menus before paying us any attention as we stood in front of him at the podium he was at. He looked at us a couple of times and completely ignored us. Our waitress Michele was fantastic. Very loud
