OLIO E PIÙ

Great food and atmosphere! The meatballs, white wine clam pasta, and Aperol Spritz were all really good. The outdoor seating and half-open dining area are perfect for summer days. The only downside was that the staff seemed to rush us a bit by clearing our table and bringing the check even though there were plenty of empty seats. Still, we really enjoyed the place and would definitely come back!

We ended up here yesterday after another restaurant we wanted to try was fully booked, and I am so glad it worked out that way. There were about 15 minutes left of happy hour, so we grabbed a table on the patio, which was such a nice spot to sit and relax. From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming. The hostess was so kind and even asked where we would prefer to sit, which was a small touch but really appreciated. Our waiter was just as friendly and attentive throughout the meal. One thing I really loved was that we never felt rushed. We were able to enjoy our food, catch up, and just have a relaxed evening without feeling like we needed to hurry. Great service, a lovely patio, and an overall wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

Here’s a balanced 3-star review that sounds fair and genuine: ★★★☆☆ Olio e Più has a great atmosphere and is a nice spot if you’re looking for a lively Italian restaurant. We came a little early specifically to try their happy hour menu. Our server was very respectful, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. The only thing I didn’t love was feeling a bit rushed to place our order before happy hour officially started. I understand why, but it made the experience feel a little more pressured than relaxed. The bread and drinks were very good, but the food was a bit underwhelming. We tried the Focaccina Napoli and Caponatina, and while they were okay, neither dish really stood out or made me want to order them again. At the end of the meal, I noticed that my mimosa had been charged a few dollars more than the price listed on the menu. I brought it to our server’s attention, and the manager came over, apologized, explained that it was due to a mix-up between their morning and evening menus, and immediately refunded the difference in cash. Overall, the service and atmosphere were excellent, and I appreciated how professionally they handled the billing mistake. However, the fo

I never write reviews, but the food here was so disappointing I had to write a review. We ordered a grilled octopus for appetizer, the dish had a lot of potatoes and sauce but very little octopus. For $27, that was a rip off. Then we ordered $32 scallop risotto. My scallops were tiny, burnt and rubbery, should’ve been called asparagus risotto because it had a ton more asparagus than scallops in it. Also had the lamb cavatelli $30, the sauce tasted as if it was out of a can, thin and watery. Lamb was barely to be found in that dish. Not sure if the food was this bad because it was a Sunday, but for the price it should be better. I kept looking over at RPM across the street and wishing I had gone there instead. Feel like this is a tourist trap with below average food. Ambience and service were great, just wish the food was better.

I had a wonderful experience at Olio e Più in Chicago. The atmosphere was beautiful and energetic, with a warm Italian vibe that made the entire evening feel special. The restaurant's elegant design and lively ambiance created the perfect setting for a night out. The food was excellent, from the fresh house-made pasta to the thoughtfully prepared appetizers and desserts. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without ever feeling rushed. What stood out most was how the restaurant managed to combine authentic Italian cuisine with a welcoming, upscale dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying dinner with friends, Olio e Più is a fantastic choice. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Italian food in Chicago.
