About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
From its humble beginnings in the quaint Hudson River town of Piermont, New York, Olar was known for serving up rustic Neapolitan pies, classic Spanish tapas, and hand crafted pastas that drew in both locals and foodies from all parts of New Jersey, upstate New York, and New York City and kept them coming back for over a decade.


Now in its new location in Northvale, New Jersey, the restaurant, now known as Olar Noso - which means "our home" in Galego, the language spoken in Galicia where the Dominguez family is from - is an evolution in not only name alone.
They have managed to scale the restaurant concept generously while replicating the quality and preserving the reputation the former Olar had garnered over the years. Evolving into Olar Noso meant giving Olar's loyal customers everything they loved, while also enhancing their experience with more seating, more elbow room, a full bar, a private event space, and, finally, ample parking.

    Once again, an incredible experience. Everyone’s food was fantastic. I tried the Chicken Parmesan special for the first time, and not only was it superb, it was like getting two meals in one. Olar Nosa continues to be the most reliable, consistent, # 1 restaurant in Rockland/Bergen County, in my opinion.

    We went there for my son’s birthday last night. It was a lot of fun. The food was great. It’s a fun and loud place so it’s good for groups. Great service too. We will be back!

    I returned after the initial opening and was very pleased. A friend and I shared the garlic shrimp and the baccalare croquettes both of which were delicious! We shared the paella which is my friend’s favorite. We had the flan for dessert because I love flan and it did not disappoint! I found the noise level to be much better and appreciated that credit cards are now an option. I’m planning to return soon for pizza and a salad.

    Enjoyed our visit to Olar. The food was excellent , unusual, and delicious. Service was attentive and helpful. Our reservation was for 5:45 thankfully because the noise level escalated as the evening continued. There is no place to sit to wait for your reservation so it pays to go early so you are seated immediately and don't have to wait. I would highly recommend it if you go early.

    Delicious and fresh food with a very varied menu. Had the seafood paella which was a very generous portion, loaded with excellent seafood. Very nice atmosphere and very good service.
