Wonderful time, everything was terrific! We sat outside and felt as though we were somewhere in Tuscany. Staff did a great job of making sure everyone was comfortable since I had my parents with us who are close to age 90. Everyone remarked how wonderful the food was, including the cocktails and appetizers that we ordered. Great time and would highly recommend.

We had a multigenerational family celebration at Olio è Limone and it was amazing! The food was outstanding and there was a food variety to choose from. The servers did an excellent job of spacing out the courses so that we didn’t feel rushed. It was a memorable and special dining experience.

What a perfect experience from start to finish. Greeted and seated promptly by a smiling and welcoming face. Our server, Jennifer B., was knowledgeable, professional and charming without being over the top. Jennifer answered all of our questions and was very attentive to our needs. The food was delivered in an appropriate amount of time and looked great. It tasted even better! A check back was done both by our server and the manager which is always appreciated. The bus person was also another star of the show. She was very personable and kept our water glasses full and our table free of unnecessary plates. Excellent table maintenance. The timing of the meal was perfect too since we never felt rushed. It’s obvious the staff has been well trained. (Pour water with one hand and place the other hand behind your back) Our budino dessert was over the top delicious. Thank you SY Kitchen.
