    Portions were too small, they charged $5 to sub veggies for pasta, and passed their credit card fee onto us. Will not return.

    Wonderful ambience! The food was delicious. Loved the appetizers. Bruschetta was the best I've ever had. Entres were delicious too. The wine was paired perfectly for the meal and dessert. Will go back again! Perfect for date night or family night out.

    I if you are looking for an Italian restaurant experience this is not the place. The restaurant has an Italian menu but the owners are not Italian, they are from another culture. So don't go expecting to find typical Italian recipes. The restaurant has no air, the temperature of the wines is not the proper one, the bathroom is one for both sexes, the menu, although varied, is very expensive. Spaghetti with meatballs are $40. I do not recommend it

    cork&oliveResponded on August 19, 2023

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent visit to our restaurant. We appologize for not meeting youe expectations and for any disappointment you experienced during your visit. While we offer an Italian inspired menu, we understand that our approach may differ from traditional Italian establishments due to our cultural influences. Our Spaghetti Meatballs are $21 not $40. Your feedback helps us to improve. Antoney Manipadam - Owner and a proud American from INDIA.

    This restaurant is a real gem. Family owned with quaint but lively ambiance, delicious food as well as presentation and exquisite service. On Friday and Saturday evenings they have a pianist that is absolutely wonderful. He can play anything in the most beautiful way. Our server was Sarah. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. It’s 5 Stars for me!

    Excellent food and service. Sara was a fantastic waitress. From our appetizers, entrees, and desert, everything was a hit. Cooked to perfection. The bucatini was perfectly cooked, which many Italian restaurants fail to do. A meal that exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return to enjoy other items on their menu.

    The Cork & Olive has excellent Italian standard dishes plus unique dishes you can only get there. Try the Fiochetti - a delicious pasta with a creamy pear sauce. They also have an impressive wine list with pairing suggestions for the entrees that blend together perfectly. This is our go-to place when we want to impress a guest or celebrate a special occasion.

    Fantastic as usual. Pairing dinner where the opener chooses the food and wine. We have done this three tones and it’s been different everything. Great menu and wine selection. We just got back from two weeks in Europe and the dishes here are right up there with the restaurants in Italy. Thank you Antoney!!

    Overpriced and so so food. My boyfriend and I had dined here once before and the food was excellent! This time the food was mediocre. We sent back the calamari due to it not being cooked thoroughly. The dipping sauce was like Ragu and the calamari themselves for completely tasteless and chewy. Plus the serving size was minuscule. Our entrees were OK...meatball pasta and gnocchi bolognese. We ordered the chocolate cake for $15 expecting a nicely sized portion to share between us. It was the size of a hockey puck with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    The food was wonderfull, fresh and full of flavor. Service was excelent very attentive and quick. The only drawback I can think of is that they do not have the wine list on line, it would have made my choice much easier. That said they have a very nice wine list, they say over 400 lables. I did not count. We enjoyed the experience.

    Apparently the regulars here get the bulk of attention from the waitstaff. We were assured by our server that we had never dined at Cork & Olive when told him that we had been there a few years ago. The pacing of the service was off (entree served while not even halfway through salad). A second glass of wine had to be asked for twice. While the food was fine, there are too many Italian restaurants in the area to return for this level of service.

    We were traveling from out of town and looking for a local place to dine. The cork & olive did not disappoint. It has to be one of the best Italian restaurants we have tried for some time. The wait staff were friendly and the service was on point. The food was exceptional and we didn’t have one bad bite the entire meal. We were able to talk to the owner for a bit who even made it more welcoming. The next time we are in town it will be an absolute must. The fiocchetti and the meatballs are must try appetizers.
