We left a conference in Denton and needed to stop for food on our way back home to Austin. I was curious about this highly rated Italian restaurant with a large gluten free menu. All I can say is, WOW!!! Cynthia (co-owner), who has celiac, has crafted a menu that transports you to life before wheat illness. I enjoyed my huge plate of gluten free pasta with a delicious vodka sauce (Oliva with grilled chicken), and we LOVED our salad! We also ordered two of the five, yes FIVE, GF desserts, and they were amazing, and we took a meatloaf dinner to go, also delightful and GF!! I can say it was literally the BEST Italian food I've eaten in my 44 years of living. We had the pleasure of meeting both Justin and Cynthia, the owners and husband and wife team, and they are the sweetest. They have outdone themselves, and my hubby and I are so happy to have enjoyed the pleasure of dining at their lovely restaurant with their sweet and attentive staff. We will definitely be back when we're in the area! God's blessings on both of you!!😉
This place was such an amazing experience! The owners were there walking around and engaging with guests which made it more special. We had the sausage vodka cream pasta and the baked meatball mac n cheese with a very good bottle of wine. The bread pudding was also delicious. Next time Im in town, Ill definitely be making a stop back here. Thank you!
100% would come back. Was visiting Dallas and this restaurant was highly recommended by google. After a long travel day, it was exactly the type of place I needed. Food was delicious, wait staff was efficient and incredibly kind, the owner is wonderful, and the strawberry cheesecake was hands down the best I've ever had. Gluten free menu made Oliva extremely accommodating, and it tasted great too! To Cynthia, thank you for your prayers and support. My audition went wonderfully :)
Great Butternut squash ravioli with mixed vegetables. Very nice side salad with tomato vinaigrette. The service was impeccable. Don’t turn down the bread pudding.
Best gluten free restaurant I've been!!!! A little mom and pop shop tucked in a shopping center that has absolutely amazing gluten free lasagna. It's made fresh when you order it. They have a separate menu when you ask for the options. They told us the owner is celiac and tried to create to recipes to be interchangeable to gluten free and boy has she succeeded. Their coconut torte with rum sauce so perfection! It's so hard to get good gluten free deserts and im so happy a Google search lead us to them!!! Will absolutely be back!
