We stopped at the Olive Pit to each lunch, but ended up going across the street to something faster. Nevertheless, they had several varieties of olives to taste (for free) and they also had a room at the back for tasting beer and wine (for a fee). There is a small diner for lunch, but we found the menu to... More

They have lots of different olives, olive oils, pickled garlic, nuts, and goodies. They also sell wine, utensils, serving pieces, etc. They have wine tasting, olive tasting and olive oil tasting.

I checked out their website before embarking on our road trip to California. I was happy to see that they had added a wine tasting area... More

I only dropped in once for lunch but was very pleased. The soup was terrific and the sandwich was delicious. Will be sure to drop in again the next time I am in Corning

First time going to the Olive Pit, wanted to check it out and grab some olive oil and other goodies.. asked a couple of the guys working for some help on the olive oils and he was completely clueless.. I walked up to the counter and asked the next guy for help...he was the same clueless....are you kidding me people?... More
