OLIVEA REVIEWS

Olivea is a lovely little Italian place with many different delicious menu options. Your dinner will come with fresh focaccia and olive oil to dip. I recommend the oysters and seafood linguine if you're a fan of shellfish. Be certain to reserve a table ahead of time as they can be quite busy. The atmosphere is somewhat upscale but also cozy and down to earth.

Located in the heart of downtown town Kingston this restaurant is a must if you are in the area and craving pasta. The atmosphere and service is great and the food is simply amazing. The Orecchiette was something else aswell as the Tagliatele Bolognese. Highly recommended this restaurant.

A quaint little Italian restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine. Very friendly and accommodating staff. From the apps to the main course and desserts, everything was delicious and very filling. We highly recommend that you reserve a table ahead of time as it fills up really fast.

ATOMICA KITCHEN / COCKTAILS REVIEWS

The Marilyn cocktail was amazing. So delicious, not too sweet. It was served in a couple cocktail glass garnishes with a flower petal. I’m sure the goddess herself would have loved it! I had the lunch special butternut squash ravioli with a fattoush salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. There was good tunes playing with a nice vibe overall. Would definitely return.

Delicious as always!! Our server was wonderful. Would’ve loved to be on the patio as there was 3 tables empty our whole meal but they must’ve had a reason! Deep dish pizza was incredibly filling and definitely recommend.

Have ate here many times. If you like fresh pasta and good drinks I highly recommend. Also their chicken Parmesan is TO DIE FOR!!!!.

EAST SIDE MARIO'S KINGSTON REVIEWS

Our large family recently had dinner at this location and had a fantastic experience with our server Kasey. While restaurant was very busy, Kasey was extremely efficient and explained all the steps to ordering for a large party so the whole process went quickly and smoothly. The food and drinks came out promptly and everything was delicious. While it was busy, we did not feel rushed at any point, and Kasey took the time to chat with our party and make us feel welcome. Another staff member also came over to congratulate one of our family members on a milestone that we were celebrating. Great experience overall.

Always a great selection & good prices. My wife and I were sat right away by the bar. My wife had cheese capaletti and i the chicken parm. it was cooked well, large portion. My wedding soup , delish. Our server was spectacular and we had an over the top experience. Her boyfriend the bartender was amazing and prepared all our dri gs spectacular. We had such a great Valentines day.

Kyle C. offered us the best service we've had in a long time. He went over and above every step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about him and I hope this finds its way to him and his manager. I would go back just for his service it was so good. So pleasant to deal with and an ideal employee. My family hopes to see him there again!.
