From its humble beginnings in the quaint Hudson River town of Piermont, New York, Olar was known for serving up rustic Neapolitan pies, classic Spanish tapas, and hand crafted pastas that drew in both locals and foodies from all parts of New Jersey, upstate New York, and New York City and kept them coming back for over a decade.Now in its new location in Northvale, New Jersey, the restaurant, now known as Olar Noso - which means "our home" in Galego, the language spoken in Galicia where the Dominguez family is from - is an evolution in not only name alone.They have managed to scale the restaurant concept generously while replicating the quality and preserving the reputation the former Olar had garnered over the years. Evolving into Olar Noso meant giving Olar's loyal customers everything they loved, while also enhancing their experience with more seating, more elbow room, a full bar, a private event space, and, finally, ample parking.

Great neighborhood spot. It doesn't rest on its laurels. There are new menu items to complement the classics. Highly recommended if you enjoy high quality authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. (The innovative crab cake appetizer and amazing ricotta fritters dessert deserve special mention.)

We are fortunate that the LeBlon Steakhouse is in our local vicinity-just a quick 10 minute drive from where we are. For the price, there is a good variety of food both at the salad bar, and the meat offerings. Last night everything was great-we have learned to go early (6pm) but it was probably one of the best meals we had there-service was on point, always checking on our drinks and asking us what other meats we wanted. Food was fresh and hot, with a great variety, including the cheese with honey and the grilled pineapple. The nicest part, is that all the staff thanked us for coming and even mentioned "nice to see you again". Give it a try and support local businesses!
