Olio e Limone Ristorante

this incredible Italian establishment has been around for a while, and we have visited before and make it every time we're in town. Dining outside or inside dining room with beautiful decor. They have some great salads, including with prawns and melon. The other are not to miss the baked eggplant Parmesan And a variety of pastas and other entrées, but it's hard to find a place that has squid in pasta with shellfish done well and this is the get it. Just fabulous and end with the tasty

I know this is a historic well regarded restaurant. On this night I felt it fell quite short of its reputation. It was a Monday night and no greeter was there for a while. After I got seated I also waited a while to get a waiter. The bread while food was cold and when I ordered the daily special appetizer I was told it was roasted beets and prosciutto. But it actually was mostly burrata. I wish the waiter told me it was a cold appetizer. It was already a cold evening and then cold bread and appetizer didn’t help. My pasta, the Scorpio with a big prawn was very hot. The pasta was overcooked and soft. The prawn although quite flavorful was also overcooked. The sauce however was spicy and flavorful. Overall I felt the cooking was unrefined. I will not be returning.

We sat on their dog-friendly patio for dinner and had a lovely experience. The service was accommodating and we enjoyed our food. We shared the beet / prosciutto appetizer special and I enjoyed my steak and Italian DOCG wine. All four of us enjoyed our entrees (others had a chicken dish and one loved the salmon special). The bread pudding dessert and decaf cappuccino were a nice finish. Thank you!

The service and atmosphere were excellent. No complaints about the servers or the place. However, the food was pretty mediocre and definitely not good enough for the price. Not even the free bread was good (it was too dry and hard to enjoy). The first dish we had was a "special": tuna carpaccio (as you can see in the picture, the pieces of fish were microscopic and the avocado was brown). I had the ravioli. They were too salty and lacked personality (no other flavor besides salt). For dessert, we shared a cannoli that was filled with a chocolate chip (?) cream. It felt more like a cheap, childlike version of a dessert that needs no modification. If you want to have good Italian food, go to Ca' Dario or Toma.

Great food and service. Wonderful start to our symphony evening. We both had vegetarian options and alcohol alternatives because it is lent, and we were just as happy as we would have been with wine and meat. Staff was a attentive without being sycophantic or doting, and the food left nothing to be desired. ( I would caution that the pumpkin tortellini which my wife ordered wat too sweet for my taste, but she was warned of this in advance and went for it ( and loved it). The bread was also delicious and very generous. They even brought us a second basket without having to be asked mid way through our meal, and we ended up taking that home for a great evening snack. Look forward to our next visit. I plan on ordering the prawn pasta, which I saw going to a number of other tables and was quit
