Another amazing meal. We have been coming to Olea since it's opening…read more It was and has remained our absolutely favorite restaurant in New Haven! We always celebrate our anniversary and birthdays here. We have always had amazing meals and wonderful service. We prefer the tasting menu which offers smaller portions of multiple dishes allowing us to enjoy the great variety of chef Manuel Romero's wonderful creations. Each time we come the experience is amazing. Over the years we have enjoyed each new dish as it is presented beautifully. Flavors meld creating real enjoyment. There is nowhere I would prefer to dine. Service is attentive without hovering. So glad we discovered this gem all those years ago and so happy to have been able to be there as the menu has continued to be varied and always delicious. Thanks to all of the staff for the wonderful experience over the years

My fiancé and I just came here to celebrate our anniversary after having been to Spain this past…read moreAugust! We would say this place is very comparable to the food we had there. Overall, it was a great experience! Service, food, and drinks are tasty. They have plenty of seating, including bar seating. For tapas we got: patatas bravas, jamon & manchego croquetas, spanish omelette, and lamb shakshuka. They typically recommend getting 3-4 tapas each, this amount was perfect for us in addition to a half paella dish! My personal favorite tapa was the spanish omelette. It was sooo good, especially with the sour cream. The other tapas were delicious as well. My only note is that the lamb shakshuka was toooo salty. We decided to get the paella salvage and it was pretty darn good! Definitely comparable to Spain. I would consider this place a date night spot given the price point, but overall, a great place!

Customer service SUCKS!!!! The lady that took care of us, dark skin older Dominican lady, clearly…read moredidn't want to take care of us. she served cold freaking coffee and didn't know if the restaurant made sandwiches. Which by the way, once she found out they made sandwiches she pawned it off on another worker that just had clocked in. She seemed bothered in taking care of us. When we finally sat down to eat the food didn't even taste good because of how she served us. When we went up to counter to tell them to warm up coffee, the bald guy said he will give us a fresh batch of coffee. We sat back down to eat the sandwich and bald guy forgot to brew the coffee. If I hadn't came back up to the counter to ask about it he would have never given it to me. needless to say he brewed it this time around while I waited at the counter. Unfortunately I took it to go since i had ate my sandwich. Very disappointed!

I drive past every day and this weekend I finally decided to try this place! Came in for lunch…read morearound 1 PM on a Saturday. There were a few people eating at a table there, and some people finishing up ordering, which gave me time to look at the menu. They also have a cafeteria style food which looked delicious but I was not confident about ordering it. But I had seen good reviews for the cubano so I ordered that with everything on it, along side a soursop smoothie (water based, they have the option for milk) and fried yuca. All together it was around $20. I say and waited at a table and and had my very freshly made food in a few minutes. They have some casual indoor seating and a nice outdoor seating area with a few tables for people who want to eat immediately. The cubano was delicious. There was a generous amount of meat, great flavor, and really filling. I only ate half of it, saving the rest for later. The fried yuca was hot out of the fryer, tasted good and crispy. Little salt added and I forgot to grab some sauce while I was there so I ate it with some hot sauce I have. I also liked the smoothie a lot. I'm glad I tried this deli and glad I live close by to try more things on the menu!
