Love the food and the atmosphere here- but make sure you sit were you want to go- they tried to stick us in the back room- and when asked to move it was done with resentment

Went for pick up and the host and hostess were rude... Bartender pretended I didn't exist. Not impressed with service at all. Food isn't good enough to warrant a return with such a poor unwelcoming staff.

This is a great local spot in town. Food is always good and service is prompt. You can also eat in the bar if things are too crowded. Give it a try you will be satisfied.

Myself and my husband were 5 minutes early for our 6:30 reservations and the hostess said "your tables not ready after all you are five minutes early". We were there on Valentine's day also and I got a dead rose at the end of my not worth the money meal!

Took a guest from Australia to dinner on Valentines Day. Food, service and atmosphere was as good as ever. Roses for my wife and guest was a nice touch. I got the check!

This was one of the best restaurant meals that I can ever remember. The atmosphere was fairly casual, but elegant at the same time. Tables were beautifully set with white cloth table cover and napkins. Noise level was fairly minimal, and allowed conversation with my family without excessive background noise. Best of all was the food, starting with and ample... More

Saturday, Running errands in Norwood, and decided to check out Olivadi's for an early dinner. Good wine list (the old vine Zin was perfect), shared eggplant torte appetizer, shared Caesar salad, and one pasta dish (Amatriciana), and pork tenderloin with fig sauce and apple torts for dessert. The stemware was pristine, the food delicious and hot, and the service just... More

Wonderful Italian food! We were there for lunch. Soup was excellent, salads were very good and very generous. Pasta was homemade and excellent. The house wine was very good and very affordable at $5 a glass.

Group luncheon in a private room. Party of 10. Everyone was pleased. I tried the Minestrone soup & Chicken Picata. Both were tasty; but, nothing special. Service was good & ambience very pleasant.Will try dinner in future.
