The menu promises unique flavors of the Mediterranean, and it delivers. The food is well prepared, delicious, and flavorful. I really like the Mediterranean pork tenderloin dish that combine Middle Eastern flavors with Italian polenta. Avoid the Med stuffed chicken, which is more like a Cornish hen stuffed with stewed fruit. Otherwise, this restaurant is a great choice in this rural CT area, and as good as any NYC restaurant.

Always pleased when we dine here. Consistenly good food and a friendly service staff. While the environs are not that exciting, the food definitely makes up for it. Do not hesitate to try.

Better than average for the area. Decent food in a pretty place at resonable prices. Given the lack of competition, it is no wonder Oliva's is always crammed. The specials are frequently worth exploring. The extra thin pizza is a great table sharer as an appetizer. A more sublte hand with the interesting spices would raise the level of the food. Wish the chef would read Zagats.

Finally got here after hearing raves and frankly, we found it to be creaky and somewhat lackluster. Very disappointed with wine selection and no full bar. Service was pleasant, but not attentive enough. There is not reason to languish waiting for a bill. Almost as unacceptable as being rushed.
