Wasn’t a fan of the pesto pasta. Wasn’t what I was expecting and would’ve liked the server to mention it wasn’t your average pesto pasta.

The service is good, but the food was pretty unremarkable. The arancini was strangely sweet. A medium rare 6oz filet took ages to come out (how? why?). The wagyu meatball was okay, but quite small for the price and, honestly, could have been any type of beef. There was nothing to make it stand out as wagyu. The food at Olea is just... ok. If you're hoping to be blown away, I'd keep looking. Service was good!

Food was excellent. There seemed to be some confusion over our reservation, so that was a poor start. Otherwise worth checking out.

Food was overall good. We started with the saffron arancini, which slapped and actually quenched our paella craving. Then came the pasta with meatballs—something different: mushroom creme pasta with truffles and a red sauce wagyu meatball! Blew my mind. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was rich and creamy, and the truffle oil just lifted everything up. The Margherita pizza though? Could be improved. The sauce reminded me of something store-bought. The dough? I give it a passing mark. Fior di latte cheese was excellent, but the base layer of cheese felt a bit off—kind of reminded me of vegan cheese. I’ll give the pizza a 6/10. Overall, the food’s a solid 8.5/10 (the pizza dragged it down). Ambience, without the party, would be a 9/10. Value? I’d say a solid 9/10. Our server, Dianne or Diana, was super friendly with an infectious smile and energy! But the hostess? Not really on her game that night. We made a reso ahead of time, and with the restaurant not being full, she could’ve seated us farther from the rowdy party. Good thing Dianne was flexible. Anyway! We’ll be back—hoping to get more of that pastaaaaa and drinks!
