Polished downtown Italian with lively energy, standout service when on-form, and a few signature hits—tempered by inconsistency on pastas and service pacing; strong pre-theater option if you manage expectations.
Olio e Più delivers a festive, well-designed dining experience with exceptional setting appeal and warm ambiance that makes it a natural choice for pre-theater occasions. Seafood and fritto dishes earn consistent praise, and standout servers create memorable moments, but inconsistent pasta execution—especially carbonara—and service delays during busy nights prevent it from reaching higher-performing establishments in the area. Best approached as a reliable neighborhood destination for specific dishes rather than all-around Italian excellence.
One caveat: Pasta inconsistency, especially carbonara called watery or bland by multiple diners
