2025 April. Stopped in for a quick lunch with my BFF. She suggested the Florentine Pizza which is a personal pan size. Excellent flavor (did ask for no Jalapeno peppers) if you prefer an Alfredo type sauce. Will definitely do this again.

Perfect timing. Not too full nor busy. The hostess was distracted on her phone, so it took her a little longer than normal to acknowledge us and seat us. However, the waiter was super awesome and helpful. He provided great recommendations and was perfectly attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. It was hot and fresh. The ingredients themselves were fresh, too. I have not had great food and a great experience like this in a long time. It was our first time there, I'm so glad I chose the place. Oh, the raspberry tea was delicious, too!! Great job!!!

OMG what a treat Oliveto showed us! Great atmosphere, great service (thank you, Whitney), and even better food. We started off with pepperoni bread, served with marinara and Alfredo sauces, which had excellent flavor paired with fresh ingredients. Followed up with a pasta trio and pepperoni pizza . Surprisingly the pizza tasted so differently to the pizza bread, both worth a try. What really blew me away were the meat balls! They are huge and so so so good! We can't wait to go back again and hopefully save room for dessert next time! #GoogleGal

I’m not sure how or why I haven’t tried Oliveto Italian Bistro yet, but I’m so glad I finally made my way there for lunch today. I had a 25 off coupon if you spend 50 or more, so I figured I had no choice in the matter haha. I said down at the table with my wife and 2 of my boys. We all looked through the menu and decided on what we wanted. Julio was our waiter and he did a phenomenal job the entire time. My twins ordered the 2 for 25. They got the hearth baked cheese bread as their appetizer and one got the fettuccine Alfredo and the other got a cheese pizza. My wife ordered the Italian nachos and I got the chicken parmesan. Everything was great, but there was one dish in particular that was incredible!!! The Italian nachos The chips are made using crispy wontons, which is what really made them stand out so much. They were light and airy, with the perfect crunch to them. All of the toppings seemed to blend so well together, especially the drizzle of balsamic reduction and alfredo sauce over the top. I would honestly go back multiple times for these nachos alone. We ordered ours with no red peppers, olives, or jalapenos. We also got the dulce de leche bread pudding for dessert and that alone was worth the trip!!! I know I’m late to the party, but if you haven’t tried this place, I highly recommend stopping by.

Great little lunch place. Had a couple of unique pizzas and found the prices very reasonable and delicious. I liked it and Id be back. ....but please renovate your bathrooms and have soap in the dispensers.

Today, my husband took me on a surprise date to Tyler from Shreveport, Louisiana. Eating at this restaurant was a blessing AND a curse. Now I have to live my life knowing that the best Italian restaurant is a TWO hour drive away! Just kidding, we have no regrets. We were so blown away by each dish we got from Oliveto. I apologize for the photos of the appetizers, they were SO GOOD that we gobbled them down immediately before I could get a picture. The bread sticks were well worth the money, the calamari was not chewy at all, and their tomato bisque soup is a new favorite of mine. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and my husband described the meatballs as an "art". They were tender, steaming hot, and full of flavor. Somehow, they didn't fall apart when I cut into them despite them not being even slightly dry. Dessert blew me away as well. Every single dish we got was piping hot and exceeded my every expectation. To top off our experience, the service was also amazing! She was friendly and took great care of us. Well worth the drive, I hope we can make it back soon!!
