The food and the atmosphere at Olive and Angelo always reminds me of the smells and taste of Italy. As you walk in it’s like the gardens of Tuscany. I highly recommend as it always delivers the best quality of food and service. Grazie mille

Ambience is great, service was fantastic, cocktails were yummy (suggest Chilli Margarita), and the food was outstanding! Strongly suggest ordering the steak and duck, along with sides, such as the tomato salad and broccolini. Couldn’t fault.

Chef has a good menu catering for all tastes. Even though the service can be very slow, the staff are only too willing to help. The food is fresh & beautifully cooked. Overall, a pleasant experience.

The food was truly outstanding. Loved the new tasting menu and all the treats were a credit ti the chef and his talent. The only suggestion I could offer is that the waiters night be a little more consistent in offering drinks to those who are not wine drinkers. The cocktails were exceptional and we would have ordered more but perhaps they knew tomorrow was a work day. Lol

Overall, friendly service and lovely ambiance. There were two things that left us disappointed. The first, when I was making the reservation it specifically asked ‘are you celebrating anything with us?’. Normally I wouldn’t write anything in the notes, but it specifically asked so I wrote that we were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary. At no point during our experience at Tuscan Terrance (other than during the hotel check in portion hours before our dinner reservation) was it mentioned, either by the host that sat us or our server. Why ask if you’re not going to do anything with the information. We were not expecting anything free, just a simple “congratulations”. The second, I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out medium well at best. I waited 5 minutes for our server to reappear and the next time we saw her was almost 30 minutes later when she came to clear our plates. I ate the steak (which was over cooked and thus bland) purely because I didn’t not want to be the crazy lady rushing across the restaurant to find someone. At no point in our entire dining experience were we actually asked how our food was. As I said, overall, friendly service, however it is missing a few elements that make it truly great dining.

Every serving was delicious. The ingredients were good quality and fresh. The pasta handmade. The menu is simple but variety amongst dishes. I’ve been to Pasta Club before and anyone who comes with me says they’re definitely eating there again
