    We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and they made him feel special. The food was very good and we particularly loved the steak, salmon, and branzino. We tried several appetizers: octopus, mussels, and oysters and were very good as well. The only downside is that it was raining and foggy and couldn’t see the NY skyline, but the rest decoration and ambience was very good. I would definitely go back!

    The dinner was spectacular in every way. Hygge in New York! The atmosphere was cozy, congenial and filled with Christmas cheer. Flowers and soft candle light everywhere. The punterelle salad was perfectly dressed with ample anchovies, the sea bream en papillote was tender and infused with deep flavor. Add a perfectly balanced negroni sbagliatto to start and the evening was perfect.

    Amazing experience at Olio! The food was excellent and they were able to accommodate gluten free pasta with their pasta dishes, so good you couldn’t even tell! Also the panna cotta was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!!! I’ll definitely be coming again!
