The Olive Downtown

Absolute exceptional experience! For a mid afternoon on a Sunday, there was no wait! Almost a full house but not over crowded. We were fortunate enough to get a hospitable and attentive waiter! He took very good care of us and made sure we were always satisfied. My wife and I split the Garden Pesto Pizza with prosciutto. Kids spaghetti for the little ones. The pizza exceeded our expectations! A very cheesy, garlicky, fluffy pizza! Gotta be one of the best in JC. Definitely worth a stop! Didn’t have time for dessert but the cakes in the display case up front are so tempting!

Wonderful food in a comfortable atmosphere. James B was our server for lunch and was very friendly and helpful. The menu is quite extensive and he offered to help is pick from several items. We ordered the Eggplant Parmesan and the Chicken Primavera and added salads. The Ceasar dressing was definitely house made and the entrees were both excellent. We can't wait to try something else next time.

Visiting from New England and decided to stop here- great decision!! We sat at the bar and James was taking care of us. He was super nice, funny, attentive and made our time there fun! The food was great, I was pleasantly surprised. My boyfriend had artichoke angel hair pasta (he started eating before I could take a picture haha) I had the pepperoni roll- OMG that garlic butter is DELICIOUS. James also recommended dessert for us and that was great as well- banana split crepe! When we visit again we’ll definitely be back.

It was OK, the pizza had great taste but was very floppy, to the point you couldn't pick it up. You have to eat it with a fork. Also, it was rather greasy unfortunately. Looked great though and the staff and location were nice

Cheese cake so it'll heal a broken heart. I stopped by for brunch on Sunday and I ended up having their road in a hole. Eggs were perfect, has browns were tasty and fresh fruit was juicy and full of flavor. I had heard about their baklava cheesecake. My God it did not disappoint. The crispy Philo, honey and nuts on top of a delectable cheese cake. I've had nothing quite like it before and it was Devine.

Kloey is absolutely amazing. I’ve had her as my server now twice and she’s the best. She gives amazing recommendations and everything is so good. Today was my birthday and they give you a free cannoli. She realized they were out of candles so she decorated mine with these cute little pink rose sprinkles. She goes out of her way to do a great job and is so quick and kind. Love this place, almost never a wait and amazing food and service and an even better atmosphere.

DELICIOUS! I couldn’t decide between two pizzas, so I asked the waitress to pick one for me and surprise me. She had the kitchen make the pizza with half of each. What a creative idea?! My waitress was friendly and very attentive. Can’t wait to come back and bring friends with me next time!

When I first walked in was greeted by Litzie she was so kind and friendly and had a smile on her face the whole time… I decided to sit at the bar and my bartender was James B boy can he fix one hell of a drink…. The food was amazing and so was the staff I definitely recommend this spot and make sure you get a drink from James and don’t forget to tip him well I guarantee it will be well worth it
