Stopped in for a pizza and wow we were surprised Everything was great. My husband and I have been to Italy over 20 times, we know good pizza, this is the real thing. Foccaccia, arancini , pizza all perfecto. Atmosphere was laid back, service very friendly and a very good and reasonable wine list. Intend to go back very soon and sample other dishes.

I love the atmosphere at this place. The location is perfect and is so nice and relaxed. The problem is the service is so poor. The servers are clueless about the menu and make you wait forever. Yes, the water glasses stayed filled, but my wine glass remained empty for 30 minutes, after which a check was dropped without asking. Sorry, but if a server is finishing his shift, he should at least alert you that he would like you to close out your check, (because he wants your tip instead of it going to the next server) before dropping it. I hadn't even ordered food and was looking forward to their amazing looking pizzas. Too bad, never got to try it, as even when we asked to keep the check open, they refused. Amazing how much service can make or break an experience!

We are French tourists and enough of having burgers and fries everywhere! When we saw Olio it was just like finding a good Parisian restaurant! The service was perfect, always smiling, the food was very tasty! Okay we had to wait 20 min for our pastas but it was worthy!! We will return!

I think this restaurant is seriously underrated. While our insalata caprese (mozzarella, tomato, and basil) was just fair, the bread and Frantoia olive oil were delicious and the gnocchi pesto was out of this world. The pasta tasted homemade and it just melted in your mouth (not for al dente lovers, though). And the pesto was supremely fresh, too. If Frantoia olive oil weren't so expensive ($45 for two bottles!), I'd buy it for myself, but I think I'll just go back to Olio and eat more bread with it. Can't wait to go back here and try more entrees! I really liked the atmosphere, too, casual, but warm and welcoming, and our service was good--our water glasses were always filled promptly and the food came out quickly. I highly recommend!

It seems the negative reviews have to do with their delivery. I've never ordered delivery from Olio. Olio has a large number of tables outside along Greenwich Avenue and when the weather is nice - it doesn't get much better than this. The service was excellent. The food was perfectly enjoyable. It was delightful sitting outside and enjoying the weather. Good service. Good food. Good wine. Very nice.

Being an Italian I spend half of my night out in NY looking for a good pizza. And at olio you can really taste an amazing pizza. Those who say that is soggy had ever tasted a real pizza? That thin crust dry thing you find in many NY pizza place is not pizza. The mozzarella is meant to melt and the pizza can't be crusty in the middle. That's the way we do it, that's what happens to real mozzarella in a brick oven. I rate Olio 2nd after other pizzerias. Of course I'd suggest to go there only if you're looking for an Italian pizza.

I have never posted a restaurant review before, but was prompted to do so after ordering from Olio. After waiting for an hour for our two overpriced pizzas to be delivered, they arrived cold and soggy. In fact, the pizza's were cooler than room temperature and were soggy - as if they were left sitting outside on a delivery bike in the freezing rain. I have lived in NYC for many years, and eaten countless numbers of pizzas - however, this was truly the most unappetizing I have ever tasted. The two bites I took tasted like wet cardboard without a hint of flavor. We ended deeming them inedible up trashing both of them.
