Pizza was great. Pumpkin and spinach risotto was so bland.

Love dining here, food was really good and staff were very friendly and helpful. We had delicious fresh bruschetta, yummy ragu and a prosciutto pizza, ice cream and lemon meringue. Staff were very genuine, thoughtful and fun. The lighting could be a bit softer and a little lamp or light on each table at night. The space is very nice with a fire and elegant modern bar. Highly recommend

I'm celiac and Black Olive accomodated what I need to be able to eat at an Italian restaurant. Plus made me feel like it was no trouble. All my other guests just enjoyed the exceptional Italian food. Great job Black Olive.

Excellent food and service. Limit wine list but all very good. The Italian Sangiovese Merlot blend is amazing. Scallop and prawn Risotto is good bit the chicken scallopini with creamy mushroom sauce is absolutely delicious.

Great set up, service was good but food was poor. We have dined previously but ordered pizza only and it was very good. This time we ordered entree and mains and we were very disappointed with the standard of food.
