Delicious food! Good food, good service, good atmosphere. The service was fast and efficient. Our waiter did a fantastic job. Today, we tried their: APPETIZERS: ------------- * calamari * cheese bread sticks MAIN ENTREE: -------------- * Pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, and cheese Stromboli. * cheese and black olive pizza. * Philly cheese steak sub. The appetizers came out in a timely manner. Turned out wonderfully. Our main entrees came out soon after the wait was short. All our food served hot and fresh. We had such a great experience here today that we would love to come back if we are ever out in this area again. If you are in the area, definitely stop by and try some of their food. I hope you have the same experience as we did. Enjoy!

First time in this cute little town and we were out looking for a nice lunch when we saw this place. Everything was wonderful!!! Our server was very helpful and pleasant. The high ceilings and decor just add to the charm of this place. And the food...well you will just have to try it for yourself! Definitely hope to come back again!

I attended a celebration here. We we in the large room on the right. The room was full of people. The service was excellent, especially considering it was a large party. There were chessy bread knots on the table, which were delicious. I had eggplant parmesean, and it was served with spaghetti. The food was excellent! The marinara was the best! The portions are large, and I was given a box to take home my leftovers. Some others around me had gluten free spaghetti, eggplant parmesean, and the 5 meat pasta. Everyone loved their meal. It was a wonderful evening full of celebration and fantastic food.

The staff was great. The food was awesome. The pasta nachos, was so good!!! Could make a meal just on those. The artichoke angel hair pasta was so fresh tasting. The Philly Mexican steak sandwich was good. Included house made chips, just needed salt. The blueberry basil sangria was really good, but could have been a bit larger for the price. Would come back when in town.

Best pizza and wings anywhere. There were 4 of us and we all got different items. Each of us raved about our entrees. Wings were an awesome surprise. Big and deep fried perfectly. Pizza was unbelievable. Great crust and sauce!! Service was perfect!!

First time diner at The Black Olive. The food was plentiful and delicious. Our server, Cody, was attentive, very nice, and spot on! I had the shrimp scampi, and my BF had a dish he created (pasta with pesto sauce and heaped with calamari), and we shared a plate of cheese stuffed garlic knots. All were tasty. Definitely recommend.

This was our first time here, our server was Joshua and is an excellent server! Never had to worry about empty cups. Was attentive but not over bearing and overall was great! We have been hearing good things about the Black Olive and my only regret is not trying it sooner than today. We had an order of garlic knots to start with, they are more like little garlic butter bombs but they are delicious and their marinara sauce they serve with it is tangy and delicious as well. I had the chicken Alfredo and my husband had the spicy Bowtie pasta. We split an order of tiramisu and it was the most decadent tiramisu I’ve ever had so far!! Everything came out fast, hot, and delicious! The pasta was served with bread and butter. We have ate the garlic knots at the restaurant and a few bites or our pasta to save room for the desert. We are stuffed and both have almost a full portion of pasta a piece for dinner later, plus that bread they served with the pasta. 10/10
