⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The pasta was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Carbonara and Vongole, and both dishes were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The Carbonara was rich and creamy, while the Vongole had a wonderful garlic and seafood flavor. The staff were all very friendly, and Turgut was especially kind and welcoming. He made us feel comfortable throughout the meal and provided excellent service. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great pasta and warm hospitality. We would definitely come back!
We dined at Olio e Più and the experience was overall quite pleasant. The menu is well-curated, with inviting options. The staff is courteous and helpful. The restaurant, very popular and with a lively atmosphere, reflects a predominantly tourist clientele. The tables are quite close together, and the noise level is high, which can impact the experience. This is a detail that could be improved to enhance the quality of the food. Overall, a good choice for those who want to enjoy Italian cuisine in a dynamic and lively setting.
Olio E Pìu Bryant Park was one of the highlights of our New York trip. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, with a sophisticated, intimate ambiance and elegant décor that creates a luxurious dining experience while still feeling warm and welcoming. The customer service was excellent - friendly, attentive, and professional from the moment we arrived. Even on a busy Sunday evening, our food came out quickly and in the right order, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the beef tenderloin, which was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the tomato sauce and melted cheese. The salmon was another excellent choice - fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. We also loved the Spaghetti Carbonara, which was rich, creamy, and full of authentic flavor. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable Italian dining experience near Bryant Park. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to New York!
We certainly needed some Italian on our 10th day in NYC. We tried our luck and the face of house got us in. Feeling lucky, we had a cosy window table. Feeling luckier, food and wine were awesome. Feeling luckiest, this fine charning gentlemen, Turgut kept taking care and checking on us. He was a standout. Thabk you all. All the best.
My husband and I dined at Olio for and early Sunday dinner. If you plan to come here during popular hours, definitely make a reservation as you may not be able to walk in and get a table. They have indoor and outdoor tables and I really appreciate the simple decor inside and has great lighting. Our server, Turgut, was incredibly friendly and attentive. I always always appreciate when people remember our names and/or ask our names and he did. He also let us know about the location in DC and a little bit of history about the restaurant which I loved. We ordered the lamb ragu pasta and the chicken piccata - highly recommend these items if you want a light meal to share! Turgut was so kind and thoughtful and gave us a complimentary dessert and we chose the olive oil cake. The entire staff is super friendly and I will definitely check out the DC location and will come back here again when I’m back visiting NYC. Ask for Turgut as your server when you come visit Olio! Bonus that’s is only a 4-mins walk to Washington square park so you can walk off your pasta. The outdoor tables will also be great when weather is nice out and people watch while you enjoy some aperitivo.
