Olive Tree is so popular because they serve the best Italian cuisine in Harford County at reasonable prices. The servers are attentive and atmosphere is welcoming, with recent renovations almost complete. As regular diners, we recommend the Southern Italian Platter (delicious combo of veal parmigiana, manicotti, and lasagna) and Stuffed Shrimp Siciliano (with crabmeat and pasta). Entrees include fresh garden... More

ALWAYs get the crab cakes here. They are huge and NOT stuffed with bread crumbs. Service is great...salad "bowl " for the table is ample (suggest you get the dressing on the side)...and ...if you eat at the bar they'll be some multiple sports events on the tv s.

Wow! $15 Tuesday Prime Rib Night is amazing! Ate here twice and enjoyed both times. Salad, Prime Rib and Two Sides for $15. I guarantee you won't find a better meal in Aberdeen...

I went here since I was in Aberdeen for a few days on Business. The olive tree was rated number 2 in the town, when it definitely deserves a number 1. We were seated in the bar area immediately. The waitress asked us for drinks in a timely manner and delivered them quickly as well. We got calamari to start.... More

As a Havre de Grace resident, I have frequented this place and like their pasta with meatballs. Their portions are generous and very rarely do I finish what is on my plate yet they are always gracious in providing me a box for leftover. Loved their salad and breadsticks but not too fond of their crab pretzel as another restaurant... More

I stopped in here on a recommendation of a colleague. I had the seafood pizza which was very rich. In fact I couldn't finish it. The meal is accompanied ny salad and breadsticks similar to another restaurant chain with a similar moniker. The salad was my favorite part, and I liked it better than Olive Garden. The breadsticks were fairly... More

I had never been to an olive tree chain before but its just like the olive garden. I think the food at the olive garden is better. The soup salad and breadstick meal is probably the best. The food for these is very good. I ordered eggplant parm. I was not impressed. The pasta was good. The eggplant looked to... More

Similar to 'Olive Tree' except for the lump crab which is excellent. Fair choice of wines for a chain restaurant. I recommend it for co-workers and girls happy hour.

The Olive Tree used to be my go to place, I ate there at lease once a week. Over the last year they have made continual changes to the menu and I assume the cooking staff, that have seriously deteriorated the quality and consistancy of the food. They no longer offer a baked potatoe on their regular menu, I think... More

Whenever I eat at this spot, the service has gotten alot better. I am not to happy with the new decor in the bar area, but that is just me. I believe once they are done it might be better. The food is always great. I love the cream of crab soup. They have excellent chicken wings also. And no... More
