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.

First time here, and I can’t believe I didn’t know about them when they were in Piermont. It was a very easy drive to get here from the house and this is going to be a regular restaurant in our rotation. There’s probably a dozen more things I wanted to try that we didn’t have room for. Everything was amazing. Loved it. Can’t wait to go back.

Excellent food, good service, friendly atmosphere. There were some specials for Valentines Day, however, with no prices listed. I ordered a glass of wine that was $28. I would've appreciated knowing that before I ordered it! I don't like when specials do not indicate the price whether it's for food or beverages.

They were running behind for reservations by over 30 mins. Food was good, but portions seemed smaller from past visits.

45 minute wait for a reservation is not acceptable. Especially when they say this is ok…
