Piccola Italia Cafe
Patricia Z.

Quaint little place that we found by chance. Service was great and food was prepared very well. There were some excellent specials and the cocktails were great. Would definitely go back.

Cucumber Martini, delish.
Brittany D.

I am so grateful for all of the restaurants around me in my new address in Ocean. But mostly grateful for Piccola Italia being right across the street. The food, atmosphere, drinks, staff (staff especially) are all top notch, always. I try to variate what I order, their specials are always fabulous. I had zucchini flowers today stuffed with ricotta and mozzarella. I treat myself when I come here after a long work day. Quality is superb, so I don't feel guilty splurging on my meals here. My only, only ONLY gripe ... is I always crave this place on Mondays- when they're closed. But, I love that they give their staff off on Mondays after I'm sure are many many busy weekends. Jewel of the area.

Burrata

It's a rare thing these days to have a five star dining experience. Thankfully for us, Piccola was just that! We made a reservation on a Friday night around 6pm. The restaurant wasn't too busy but started to fill out shortly after we arrived. We ordered the burrata to start which was outstanding. For my main dish, I had the veal ragout with fresh pasta. Wow, was it good. We rounded out the meal with their freshly made cheesecake which was the perfect ending to the meal. Our server couldn't have been friendlier and really made us feel at home even though it was our first time here. It's been two months since my visit and I'd be lying if I said I haven't been thinking about them on a regular basis since.

Pear Martini

Very pleasant early dinner tonight. The space is beautifully decorated for the holidays. Service was impeccable & our server Tawny could not have been more friendly or helpful. My daughter tried a pear martini which she loved. We shared the artichoke appetizer which was very tasty. For entrees my wife had Rigatoni with shrimp & sausage. My daughter had Burrata ravioli & I tried the Veal Ragout. All the dinners were fantastic. Overall a really nice restaurant with an innovative menu.

Vanilla Creme brûlée
Heather E.

My gf and I were in the area for the weekend and I am SO happy we came across this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. Every single thing we ordered was delectable. I got an aperol spritz which was huge and so refreshing. We highly recommend the scallops, eggplant rollatini, and the burrata ravioli. For dessert, we got the creme brûlée which was extremely tasty. There is lights all strung up outside which made the whole ambiance so romantic.

Excellent restaurant. The food and service were very good. This is a higher priced establishment and it is worth the money.

We tried to have dinner Saturday night 11/18/22. They were too "snooty" for us. Besides Olivia II Pizza & Pasta was more our type of joint.

Grabbed a plain slice after I saw this place next to Habit Burger. I was coming from the inspection…read morestation and needed a quick lunch. I had already ordered at Habit, don't like the computer screen ordering. 7.45 for a plain burger with extra patty, then I saw Olivia's! I'm making it my business to try every pizzeria I can find now that I'm back in NJ. So I asked for a cancel order and refund and she took 10 minutes to basically tell me it might not go through! You can't make this stuff up. Anyway the slice I got charged 3% for cc use. A whopping .09 cents. The cheese: excellent Crust and dough ratio: excellent Friendliness of young man who took my order: excellent Would definitely eat her again Bon Appetit!

We came to Olivia's after watching a movie at AMC theatres. The restaurant seating is cute with a…read morefew booths and tables. Christmas decorations were up and it felt warm. Service was super friendly with the wife of the owner waiting tables and the husband in the kitchen. Both were active and talked to all the customers. The restaurant is great for allergies as they don't put egg in anything accept the chicken cutlet and chicken fingers so their pizza and focaccia dough were egg, nut and sesame free. Their Rigatoni Della Rocco was amazing and without the sausage vegetarian (not sure if it's vegan). They also have other vegetarian/vegan options like their vegetable wrap. They appear flexible as well and accommodating and very knowledgeable. Finally prices were reasonable. Will definitely come back!
