About the restaurant
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.

Aurora's was excellent from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was relaxing and aesthetically pleasing with tables and booths, relaxing lights, and a wonderful bar. We ordered zucchini chips and warm almond crusted goat cheese with fig spread as our appetizers. They were excellent! Caesar salad was very generous as were the appetizers. As for our dinners, lamb shank fell off the bone and the pork chop Milanese was cooked to perfection. Our drinks were done well too. I think you can bring your own wine as well since there was a couple who did. (I would check on that though.) The staff was attentive and cleared dishes as we were done. We were not rushed at all. We will be going back again for sure!

Cape May
About the restaurant
Long before the farm-to-table trend invaded America, Louisa’s espoused this philosophy, and served food to match. The tiny-but-iconic eatery was established in 1980 and has been dishing out incredibly fresh and delicious food in the small historic yellow building ever since. The menu is all regional fare — fish caught from the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, plus vegetables, fruits, herbs (and beautiful fresh flowers) from West Cape May’s Beach Plum Farm, augmented by produce from other New Jersey farms.

The kitchen philosophy is to cook simple, expertly seasoned dishes that are lovingly prepared and made from fresh, first-rate ingredients. The menu changes often but the one constant you’ll find here is the dedication to a great dining experience.
