The Calamari was easy with large diving sauce; the potato nachos were crispy and tasteful. Very recommended for a smooth, pleasant meal.

I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience anywhere. A little unassuming on theoutside, but this place is SERIOUSLY special! As a lifelong fine dining server, I can tell you it is not easy to do what theyare doing over at Olio. There is not a single corner cut at this place- the pasta is made in house, even the burger buns aremade in house. I think during Covid, a lot of places had to condense menus and you often see a lot of menu options looking likedifferent iterations and assemblies of eachother. At Olio, I didnt see any of that, every ingredient was unique to a dish andthe level of care put into the food is something hard to come by these days in a post-covid dining experience. The food wasstellar. My seafood papardelle was huge, fresh, delicious and very fairly priced. My partner's plate was also delicious- thecheesy grits are to die for. Our server Kim was very welcoming and helpful. I do not drink and they had a really goodnon-alcoholic beverage offering that was exactly what I wanted. I literally cannot wait to make the drive out to Olio again.Thanks so much to the hardworking staff in that kitchen- all those extra hours and extra steps and small details come throughto the customer, and I will be a customer for life now.
