Olivero

5/5 stars! Definitely the best service in the Wilmington area. We dine out often and this is usually hard to come by. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. The dishes are unique and delicious! It’s a great “treat yourself” dining experience! Highly recommend the brussel sprout dish and lasagna!

Went for our anniversary, the restaurant provided a nice card to celebrate the occasion. Staff was friendly and very attentive, but also allowed you to enjoy the moment and was not over bearing. The kitchen operated like a fine dining kitchen, clean and like Gordon Ramsey. Waitress was super nice and so were the people who helped bring the food out. We bought one appetizer and two entrees along with two desserts and paid $100 (not counting tip). This place came to us on a recommendation and we will be back, great experience!

Absolutely phenomenal meal. Had the warm dates, crab croquettes, and mortadella/fontina beignets as starters - all delicious (beignets were the most interesting/unique of the three). Had the roasted beets and crispy cauliflower for a salad course - the cauliflower was so good we ordered a second serving with our entrees. Had the agnolotti and grilled chicken thigh for our main course - both solid and the chicken may have been my favorite dish of the night. Had a panna cotta and a Basque cheesecake for dessert - both delicious but the cheesecake was the standout. Great beverage program, beautiful restaurant, attentive and friendly service. Overall 10 out of 10 experience - highly recommend.

Inspiring and truly special. Thank you to the entire staff and chefs for their hard work and dedication to their craft, it shows in every aspect of their restaurant and food. So glad I was lucky to find this gem during my short stay in Wilmington- really enjoyed my time here and this made it extra special. And extra kudos for having julia child on your wall….

I can honestly say this is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. From the moment I walked in, everything felt thoughtful and welcoming. From the atmosphere, the service, and most importantly, the food. Every dish was prepared with such attention to detail, and the flavors were unforgettable. Each bite felt perfectly balanced, fresh, and made with care. The staff went above and beyond, not only making sure everything was perfect at the table but also creating a warm and genuine experience. It wasn’t just a meal, it was something memorable. I left already looking forward to coming back. If you’re looking for a place that truly sets the standard for excellent dining, this is it.

We had a fun girls’ night at Olivero. The restaurant seems to be very popular so it is encouraged to make reservations in advance. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and walked us through the different courses and even highlighted particular dishes that are favorites or stood out. Per the server’s recommendation, we chose to share plates for courses one and two. We enjoyed the crab croquettes and a green salad. For the dinner entrees, we chose the chicken and agnolotti. Fresh ingredients, made from scratch dishes, different items than what you might see on other menus… it was delish! I wish we had saved room for dessert but that will give us a reason to go back. We had a great experience!

We really love this restaurant. The drinks are outstanding, appetizers and pasta dishes are unique and tasty. We have always had great service. The desserts are so good we usually do not order desert but we always get one here! It’s a great date night option. The overall dinner for two with drinks appetizer and dessert was about $125 so prepare to spend money but the cost is worth it!

Fantastic experience! Visiting from London, and my friend Michael brought me here for dinner. We shared the red beets appetizer—absolutely outstanding. I had the ribeye, he had the vegetarian lasagna—both were excellent. Warm, friendly service made it even better. Highly recommend. Reservation is a must.
