Review: The Olive Press
Location: 2322 Dundas Street West, Oakville ON
Review Rating: N/A
The Olive Press had only been open for a few days when I stopped by for dinner. I have made it a habit of not reviewing a restaurant on opening night, or within the first few weeks, as there are always ‘bugs’ to be worked out, and I feel this is not a far evaluation- a point that other food critics may argue.
The Olive Press however impressed me with their fare. It is run by the Daicos brothers Steven and Constantine, and while this is not a full review, it is definitely worth recommending.
I was happy to see a wonderful selection of wines including some Ontario greats such as Trius Merlot and Riesling. Of course no Italian restaurant would be complete without Italian wine, and I recommend the Ripassa, a wonderful red for a reasonable $42.95 per bottle.
The portions are large, and the food full of layered flavours—Rating: 5 out-of 5 stars!
The Olive Press is very reasonable priced, has a great atmosphere for families or couples. I have however chosen not to give The Olive Press a full rating- as the service needs to be smoother- and this will come with more practice.
I will be back soon- so stay tuned for a full upcoming review of The Olive Press- in the meantime I encourage you to give it a try, and I am looking forward to receiving your feedback.
Bon Appetite—Tilly!
