" The ambiance at Olazzo is top-notch! I loved the dim lighting and vintage decor. The food, however, was a bit hit or miss. I had the lasagna, and while it was cheesy and comforting, I found it lacked the punch of flavor I was looking for. On the other hand, my friends enjoyed their mushroom gnocchi. The service was prompt, and our waiter was attentive. I might give it another try on a busier night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Olazzo during brunch and it was a wonderful choice! Their avocado toast was perfect, a balanced mix of flavors that didn’t leave me feeling heavy. The ambience was light and cheerful, and the cocktails were delightful! I could have stayed there all day with a book and enjoyed the relaxing vibe. I will recommend Olazzo to my friends for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Italian restaurants, and Olazzo ranks high on my list. The appetizers from arancini to calamari were solid. I had a classic spaghetti marinara – simple yet delightful. They do know how to create a great flavor with their sauces! The portions were satisfying, and it felt like a true home-cooked meal. I would come back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Olazzo was enjoyable! The service was prompt and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious. The mushroom gnocchi was especially outstanding. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it well worth the trip. I’m already planning another visit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I had an enjoyable dinner here! The service was informative and made great recommendations. I ordered the roasted eggplant, which I absolutely loved for its flavor and presentation. My partner went with the lasagna, and he found it delightful, though rich. The atmosphere felt authentic, reminding me of trattorias in Italy. Worth the visit if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an unsatisfactory experience at Olazzo. The meal itself wasn't memorable. My pasta dish was overcooked and bland. The service was friendly, though it took longer than expected for the meal to arrive. The atmosphere was lively, which was a plus, but unfortunately the food quality didn't match the atmosphere. I won’t be in a rush to go back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Olazzo! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting. The wild mushroom gnocchi was divine and a must-try! The portions were just right, leaving us satisfied but not overly stuffed. I'd highlight the authenticity of the dishes served here, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Can’t wait to come back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)
