There’s nothing like an impromptu dinner that makes you commit to coming back for more! Such was my experience during my first visit to Oliver! It was an ordinary Thursday, just after a light rain and I was hungry. I had been on a walk and spotted Olivero after passing by dozens of times. Upon walking in, I immediately felt a bit odd as I was severely under dressed. The place was quaint, jazzy, with an elegance appeal. I decided to dine at the bar but ended up at the grill area. I appreciated the enthusiasm of the waitress and greeters. It was genuine with a southern flair of ready to serve. My first, and only, drink was a cocktail! Before sipping, I eyed it suspiciously because of the huge ice chunks. However, I was pleasantly surprised because it was strong as ever and remained that way until I finished it. I can’t say enough about my waitress. She was attentive, thoughtful, and very professional. I ordered a 4-course meal including dessert! I was very joyful after the first bite of the crab appetizer. Oh my! These light weight balls filled with crab and cheese made my toes curl. I was dining alone and was happy I didn’t have to share. Next was the beets salad. It looked too pretty to eat. I was so full from the drink and appetizer at this point that I could only taste a few bites and let me just say “Wow”!!! My waitress noticed I was struggling to finish, and graciously packaged it to go. Next up, the fish entree! Man it melted in my mouth. I gobbled down this dish as the fusion of flavors tantalized my tongue. I was already full at the first bite but decided I must have dessert. So after a few bites, it too was packaged to go. My last course was a peach cream cheese dessert. Yes, two bites and it too was packaged to go. All I can say about this is YUMMY, Yummy, YUMMY!!!! So as I finish up this review, a day after my Olivero encounter, I am heading to those packages! So happy to have visited this establishment! Everything was on point and to perfection!

The restaurant is incredibly noisy, which is disappointing for a place that prides itself on its stylish décor but lacks any acoustic control. Additionally, the wait time between courses was far too long—even for someone like me, coming from Europe, where dining tends to be...Read More

Five Stars! Last night, my lovely wife Melisa and I, along with some close friends, discovered Wilmington’s best-kept secret: Olivero. Let me tell you, this place is the real deal! The food? Out-of-this-world good. Every bite was like a mic drop for my taste buds. And...Read More

I had my first meal at Olivero right after returning from a two-week trip to Italy. The food instantly transported me back to the delicious dishes I had in Italy because of its quality, freshness, and flavors. I went to Olivero again last night, and once...Read More

Came in for dinner on my first day in Wilmington. The inviting, warm and cozy ambiance set the tone on a pleasant meal. My friend and I sat at the bar as we didn’t have reservation. The bartender made delicious cocktails, he was very friendly and...Read More

Fantastic. The food can be rich, but the flavors are incredible. The chicken was my favorite, but the steak was incredible and the rigatoni was equally delicious. We highly recommend the arancini as an appetizer. You can't go wing with anything on the menu, but...Read More

How lucky we are in Wilmington NC to have another James Beard finalist in our midst. Everything was wonderful, from the moment I stepped in. The warmth and conviviality makes this a natural meeting place. I love the open kitchen and watching the expert team...Read More

Best Italian food we've had in Wilmington. Flavors were subtle, but delicious. Nice balance of texture, seasoning and presentation. We loved the place and will definitely be back. Only comment I've passed along to the ownership is that it's a bit...Read More

After dining twice with similar experiences I felt it important to leave a review. Unfortunately both my experience were similar and underwhelming. I’d like to compliment our servers on their informative explanation of the menu and kindness in their approach but my satisfaction ends there....Read More
