My wife and I enjoyed exceptional service at the bar from Jake and Claire. Both were not only talented at making drinks, but customer service was top notch as they balanced endless drink orders for the entire restaurant through the dinner rush WHILE ALSO attending to their customers at the bar, and having fun while doing so - a fine balancing act overall. You'd be hard pressed to find bartenders like these who support each other without undermining the other, these two acted as a united, professional team. Best bartenders in town, by far. Food from the kitchen was also excellent, and they quickly corrected a minor error when one of our orders didn't get communicated. The lighting at night with candles provides a relaxing ambiance combined with live music, I highly recommended this place for anyone seeking a quality experience. It's not cheap, but the experience is top tier because the employees who work there give a damn. read more

It was pretty busy on a Friday night but I had no problem walking in and getting a table without a reservation. Lots of people sitting by the bar but also lots of tables available. Modern vibes for sure- I ended up ordering the bolognese after my initial order ran out as I ordered. Tasty, although not the biggest portions. Solid spot! read more

I was treated to Oak for Mother's Day. The carrot appetizer was absolutely delicious and the main course of ricotta gnocchi was mouthwatering. Rich chocolate gelato rounded off the meal. Service was outstanding and the bartender was friendly, outgoing and attentive. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience this was. Thank you Oak. Will be back soon read more

Best restaurant in Hanover. The pizza is always excellent. The rest of the menu rotates frequently, so there's always something new to try. The cocktail menu is seasonal and exciting. They make the best Old Fashioned in the world. The staff, especially the bartenders, are top notch. It's always a treat going to Oak. read more

I absolutely love Oak, I just wish their pasta dishes were bigger portions! I was still hungry after and felt like it was a lot of money for not a lot of noodles. Delicious for sure though! read more

The food is delicious and the pasta is made fresh daily. We enjoyed a seat at the bar and staff and locals were very friendly. Definitely a good little spot. read more

What amazing pizza!!! A wonderful brick oven pizza, the way it should be. Great selection of alcoholic beverages and mix drinks. The Brussel Sprouts were delicious. read more

I usually don't leave negative reviews but this place deserves it. Called to place a takeout order and they don't take orders over the phone. So I decided to drive there and ordered pizza and the meatball appetizer. They refused to make me a meatball appetizer to go but if I eat there it's available. Then tried to order a pretzel roll and was told they won't make that either for takeout. Apparently if you order takeout they can choose what you can leave there with. Don't go there based on their menu because it's not available "for takeout." We definitely WON'T BE BACK. read more

Oak has been on my list to try for a while and now that I have, I am kicking myself for not going sooner! Took family from out of town tonight and everyone loved it. The food was delicious, we all had pasta, all house made - perfecto! Service was helpful with our decisions and attentive. The restaurant was pretty full and a little on the loud side. I wouldn't choose it if I wanted to have a quiet dinner but it's got a very upbeat atmosphere and feels like great time to go with great food. Can't wait to go back again. Best dish at our table was the Wild Boar Candele. read more

Good food, great service. Surprised they didn't have any local brews, but the cocktail list was fine.

The food was AMAZING!!!!! Hands down would recommend - we enjoyed the whipped Ricotta - it could be one of the best things I've eaten. The Shrimp Toast was also phenomenal. The meatballs with the garlic bread focaccia was a chef's kiss and the Hen pasta was divine. You can tell they have a passion for food and we will happily make the drive again to enjoy the cuisine and service. The bartender, Zach was so knowledgeable about wine and both him and Pam were so hospitable. It was a last minute pick and we are so happy with our choice. You can't go wrong!!! Can't wait to come back to try the Pork Schnitzel and I'll save room for dessert as well! read more

Service on point if I could just teleport home right after I'd stay till close I arrived a bit late for dinner which was 2min before kitchen closing time because I was indecisive regardless, I was offered at the very least dinner bread, which I chose not to except and bothered the kitchen. The atmosphere is soothing calm. my only request would be the kitchen. Stay open longer. read more

Amazing pizza, drinks, and service. We sat at the bar and were in good company. Can't wait to go back!

Overrated food and inflated prices for pizza and drinks. Drove 30 minutes to go there after getting multiple people's recommendation to go, and it was not at all worth going to! Save your money and time, and get a pizza somewhere else. read more

In a town known for snacks and hotdog stands this place stands out. They have a creative menu and it is delicious. Service was great and extremely friendly. read more

The absolute best pizza around... well ever! They have made me so obsessed with wood-fire pizza. Fresh ingredients. Pizzas are ready quickly even when they are busy. Crust is perfect, not too doughy not to thin.. So flavorful and tasty. Variety of options and they do allow customizations. Open Thursday-Saturday. You can watch them make and cook your pizza, this is always amusing to me. A definite MUST TRY!! read more

Oak Artisan Cookery is a great place to dine at. This was the first time I had eaten at the new restaurant: prior location (Artisan and Oak) was a stall at the local food/shopping hall. The pizza was just as amazing as I had experienced at the old location. Oak Artisan Cookery makes Neapolitan style pizzas, using legit wood fire ovens, and they also have an open-fire hearth to cook other foods on -- yummy! Anyway, the pizza crust held up great: without compromising what a Neapolitan pizza is supposed to be -- yes, there is still flop and should be; Neapolitan pizza is typically floppy due to the nature of the thin crust. They do not use the standard 00 flour for their dough but still are able to maintain a wonderfully flavorful product. The toppings were all very fresh and flavorful. The soppressata, tomato sauce, cheese, and spicy honey all worked together perfectly. If pizza is not your thing, the restaurant has many other tasty options available from appetizers, to pastas, to hearty main courses all in an Italian style. Finally, being a non-drinker that likes the taste of IPA, they had a Sam Adams NA IPA available that was perfect. Did I mention the restaurant was beautiful? There is no doubt the owners spent a lot of money to make their vision come true and it shows. The old wood flooring goes great with the more modern look of the restaurant. Give this place a try and you won't be disappointed! read more

I have been here multiple times. Went tonight with my Sister and sat at the bar. Excellent food, great drinks and extremely knowledgeable, attentive Staff. Highly recommend! read more

The food and service here are top notch! I'm from out of town (Chicago suburbs) and was looking for an evening nibble and a glass of wine. This restaurant is a TRUE GEM. The menu offerings are fresh and seasonally inspired. I had the Stone Fruit Toast and it was super delicious. Whipped ricotta, grilled peaches and apricots, with herbs, a non-fermented grape reduction and hot honey, all served atop a crunchy, grilled slice of (what I can only assume was) house-made bread baked in their wood fired ovens. The flavors worked wonderfully together. After the bartender described the desserts to me, I jumped at the panna cotta. Again great flavors: fresh cherries in a light syrup, basil, and a silky smooth dairy delight! What I enjoyed tonight was completely on par with places I've eaten on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Bravo to this establishment! A wonderful surprise within walking distance of my down-town Hanover VRBO. Thank you, thank you! read more

Big Mozzarella Sticks are the best with a twist on the dipping sauce! Pam and Jake are friendly and knowledgeable bartenders you must meet!

I made reservations for my sister's birthday for the dinning room at 6:00 and they tried to seat us at the kitchen bar. I asked if we could sit at a table down the stairs in the dinning room and they said that table was reserved for 6:30. I told them we would like another option. They could not accommodate us so when two seats opened at the bar I asked if we could sit there and they said those bar seats were reserved for 6:30 as well. We left and went to McAllister's where they were able to accommodate us. I will never try to make a reservation or even attempt to go to Oak again, read more

Very good apps with mozzarella and Brussel sprouts shares with 4. Good on tap beers Excellent pizza: fungi, margarita and meat shared Glad to see them out of the declining Markets at Hanover. read more

This is in the Markets at Hanover(farmers market). This is what pizza is all about!!Homemade dough, Fresh ingredients and a wood fired oven. The shop has a counter where you can sit and watch the pizza magic happen. They have about 8-10 different pizza to choose from. The pizza size is smaller meant for 1-2 people. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other options! read more

Perhaps the best pizza in Hanover. Easily top 3. I got the margherita with pepperoni. Will certainly be back for more.

It's easy to just pass by this place and not give it a second look. Tucked in a market in Hanover, it's easy to pass by when inside. The pizza is actually very tasty. We had the mushroom pizza. They do not skimp on the mushrooms. The lady that took our order was very nice. It was prepared quickly. I do think it's slightly overpriced for being in a market. The pizza is very good but I also had better. That combined with just stopping in a market for it is a little harder for me to justify a $14 personal pie. That being said, if I'm in the area but want something that's quick and of good quality, I would stop in here again. read more

Amazing food and equally amazing drinks. Wonderful and attentive wait staff. We have been here several times and the food and service is always consistent. The only place we eat out in Hanover. Please give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was delicious unique fresh and seasonal. Beet & goat cheese ravioli was the best thing I've tasted in 10yrs. Waitress was well versed and knowledgeable about the food and the drinks, a professional. Pizza was great at a fair price. Drinks are expensive but dam they were sooo good, we split one. And the atmosphere is 1st class, has that big city upscale vibe this is where the cool up and comers hang out. A man can pretend lol. Without the arrogance. 5 stars all the way around read more

Outstanding meal. I travel a lot for work and just got back from the west coast and have been eager to try this local establishment. It was so much better than I expected. The drink menu was great. I had the smoke and oak old fashioned which comes with a decent whiskey but also mezcal for the smokiness. For an app we had the fried olives with sausage - wasn't sure what to expect, but was intrigued. It was essentially a Scott egg with an olive in place of the hardboiled egg. The sausage was flavorful and it was perfectly cooked and crispy outside. A garlic aioli would be excellent here. Under veggies, I tried the harvest which was watermelon, cherry tomatoes, olives, Parm and mint. Perfect combo, very well executed. For my entree I had the beet and goat cheese ravioli in a brown butter sauce - another unique, but delicious combo. Definitely looking forward to a return visit! read more

Absolutely amazing! New to the Hanover area and when I came across this gem located in the Markets at Hanover I was surely not disappointed! Would highly recommend. I will be back again!! read more

Oak has a youthful vibe, meaning it has a lot of hard surfaces that bounce the noise around, making it difficult to carry on a conversation or hear the waiter. That's not the reason I gave Oak three stars, however. First, I ordered the calamari small plate, and while the squid was nicely prepared, it was just too salty. And then I had the lasagna bolognese, which, ironically, could have used some salt. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing, as my dinner companions suggested, but I don't think that's on me. The restaurant redeemed itself with a delicious negroni cocktail, and very good panna cotta with macerated fig dessert. read more

Outstanding food and service! The lasagna bolognese was amazing! My wife had the sweet corn pizza which she loved. My only complaints are the noise level. I felt bad for our server as we couldn't hear her and she couldn't hear us despite the close proximity. Some noise baffles or fabric might dampen that. Also no coffee? The wonderful panda cotta was screaming for expression or great coffee. Please consider adding it. Will certainly be back, we're only two blocks away. read more

The food and service were incredible, the bar was well stocked, and I look forward to our next visit!

Absolutely my favorite pizza. The best I've ever had and I try pizza basically every where I go. The sauce is perfect. Not chunky but not watery either. The amount of cheese is perfect. It looks like a minimal amount but once you eat it you know that if they added any more it would take away from the pizza. The crust is expertly baked. My only complaint would be that since this is in the Markets at Hanover we can't go for dinner as they are only open until 4 on Saturday. The pizza is what I consider a personal pizza but others might not. read more

It was Thursday evening at 6 pm walk in the door what's for dinner I am starving. Pizza okay where can I find a healthy pizza? I drive by the Market of Hanover it dark from the outside so I think it's closed so I drive by. After driving and seeing my options I thought to call them...Waala opens until 7 pm. I order 3 pies fungi, sausage & pepper, and a squash. Got home open all three boxes still warm they looked picture perfect and appetizing. The flavor on all three "spot one". The cheese choice for each perfect. Can't wait for the next time. This is gourmet pizza at its best. THANK YOU!!!!! Sorry, no pictures box open pizza disappeared. read more

great service, great drinks, good food. My only complaint was our table location. we were seated towards the back near the kitchen with trash bins, boxes piled up of supplies, cleaners, rags and dirty dishes with half eaten food in the bus tubs. That I'd rather not see. The ambiance is almost perfect except for that. A half wall to cover the view of it would help greatly and move the boxes of supplies and trash bins out of view of customers. read more
