    A great experience at Dolly Olive! There were four of us doing Aperitivo and Dinner - everyone thought it was fabulous! Creative drinks, good wines and the new Summer menu items were so good. Great Starters and Pastas...Meatballs are the best we've had, and Burrata is to die for! Pastas made fresh there; the Raviolini was very creative and Pomodoro was such a good classic. We had such a good staff taking care of us; it made our Retirement celebration very special. Highly recommend!

    Best fried chicken I’ve ever had! The chicken breast was as juicy as the thigh. I don’t know if they brine the chicken or not, but it had SO MUCH flavor. Fried okra was also much better than I expected and it was perfectly fried in a light cornmeal batter.
