We have eaten here several times and it is always good. We actually call it in to go. I’ve only had 2 dishes because we get the same thing over and over! They are Asiago Spinach Chicken, and the Chicken Scallopine, which are $9.00 and $10.25 respecitively. But both are absolutely delicious and there is always PLENTY of food – enough left to have another meal. Also, we always ask for extra bread as it is really good and they have never charged us extra. Definitely recommend trying Oliveto if you haven’t yet.

Delicious!! We love the pizzas and tomato bisque soup. On the recommendation of our server, we tried the caramel bread pudding with ice cream. It’s the best we’ve ever had but be warned-this dessert was made to be shared, it’s huge!!!! Everything we’ve had was delicious, hmmmmm, maybe we’ll go for lunch tomorrow!

overpriced? small portions? LOL……really? My husband and I decided to try Oliveto’s last Sat. evening based on the MANY recommendations by friends and neighbors. We had a bit of a wait……but felt we were seated rather promptly compared to other “waits” on a Sat. night in Tyler. We enjoyed a great glass of wine at the bar……..and once seated had excellent service and fantastic food! The portions were so LARGE that we both had enough left over for an additional meal the next day! We shared the bruschetta sundae (yum) and I had the Asiago Spinch Chicken while my husband had the Chicken Scallopine……….we were very pleased and satisfied with our dinner at Oliveto and will go back again and again!

Overpriced. Small portions. Not worth the expense.

Visited for the 1st time today around 4pm. Seated immediately-loved the decor and atmosphere. Took my son there after graduation. Would have like to have had a conversation while there but the music was playing so loudly we couldn’t hear each other. Asked the waiter to turn it down but that never happened. Took 20 min to get anyone to take our order. Finally went to the bar and asked someone to wait on us. Ordered roasted chicken and veggies. Served on a fajita skillet full of oil. Wanted a healthy dinner but didn’t get it unfortunately. Not impressed and probably wont be back. Wanted to speak to manager but he wasn’t there. Needs to have someone there at all times to supervise the restaurant.

My husband and I eat at Oliveto for the first time and we loved it! The service and food were great! We had Bruschetta for an appitizer, my husband had Chicken Primavera, and I had chicken with bowtie pasta and pesto. We both LOVED our food! The pesto is to die for! I recommend it!

I found the pasta to be overcooked myself, and it was oversauced, and too oily. The desserts are good, and the staff is good, however, and the pizza dishes are pretty decent for tyler as well, even though this is owned by the same folks as mazzios.

I have been several times and have enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. I’m glad Tyler finally has a great italian bistro close to my side of town. True Oliveto fan.
