" Our experience at The Black Olive was fantastic! My daughter wanted pasta for her birthday dinner, and we chose this place because of its high ratings. The Alfredo pasta was creamy and rich, while the garlic knots were a delightful starter! The staff was attentive and made sure everything was to our liking. The only downside was the wait time, but the food was well worth it! We'll surely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at The Black Olive and it was fantastic! My friends and I shared a few dishes, including the calamari and an arrabbiata pasta dish that had the perfect level of spice—authentic and delicious! Our server was attentive and friendly, making our experience even better. The atmosphere was cozy and charming. I can easily see why this place has such great reviews. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my doubts about trying The Black Olive because I had a not-so-great experience at another Italian place recently, but I'm so glad I stopped by. The pasta dishes were perfectly al dente, and the sauce was rich and aromatic. I even got to speak with Chef Alfredo, who was exceptionally welcoming. The service was attentive, although it took a bit longer to get my drink. But the ambiance and food quality truly made up for it. I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience at The Black Olive. The food was alright but lacked the wow factor I was hoping for. My friend ordered a seafood dish, and while it was okay, it needed more seasoning. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I don’t think I’ll rush back any time soon. Service was decent though, so that’s a plus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at The Black Olive was such a pleasant experience! Every single dish we tried was authentic and flavorful. The lasagna had just the right amount of cheese and sauce, while the pesto gave my chicken a nice zing. We were impressed with how clean and well-organized the restaurant was. Service was prompt and we left with happy bellies! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Black Olive with a group of friends, and we all had an amazing time! The food was flavorful, authentic, and beautifully presented. Our server was attentive, yet didn't intrude upon our conversations. The highlight was the tiramisu—absolutely divine! I highly recommend this place to anyone, and I will be coming back for sure. Great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I visited The Black Olive last week, and we were greeted by a very friendly staff. The atmosphere was lovely, and it felt cozy. I had the shrimp scampi which was cooked perfectly, and my partner had a delightful pizza. However, we had a longer wait time for dessert, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, it was a nice experience! " (*Curated Review*)
