  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups

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.

    They were running behind for reservations by over 30 mins. Food was good, but portions seemed smaller from past visits.

    45 minute wait for a reservation is not acceptable. Especially when they say this is ok…

    A great experience. A little loud. Next time I will ask to sit in the main dining room not bar. Service was excellent. Food too was excellent. It was my husband’s 80th birthday and my children suggested we try olar. The entire evening was great.

    Always a great meal at Olar! Had the cod croquettes, shrimp, stiffed dates and meat lovers pizza to start. Then shared 2 mains from the specials - lobster pasta and cod. Portions are generous and always served hot. Great cocktails and sangria too.
