Ovvio Italian Taverna

“We had such a wonderful experience here.”

We had such a wonderful experience here! The food and cocktails absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was a hit. Some favorites 😋😋😋 Shrimp scampi was so delicious, spaghetti and wagyu meatballs were out of this world, the bronzino was light and yummy, vito sliders were so tasty and perfect to share, pappardelle short rib bolognese was good, the classic margarita pizza was incredible with the perfect crust and fresh ingredients you can taste, the artichoke alla romano were very tasty, and the prosciutto + burrata were definitely a favorite. For dessert we ordered the homemade cannolis which were good, but a bit overwhelming with the orange zest. We would have went easy on the orange zest or could have done without. What really made the night unforgettable was our server AVA, who went above and beyond. She was attentive, friendly, and so much fun. You can tell they truly care about the guests. Amazing food, amazing service—we can’t wait to come back!

“Ambiance was wonderful.”

Ambiance was wonderful. City feels in the suburbs. Even on the coldest day of the year, the atmosphere was great and the restaurant was completely packed. Great liquor selection, great bar scene. Great for a sit down dinner or to post up at the bar and have a few drinks and a great meal. We started with the calamari fritti, which was prepared to perfection, alongside the Wagyu meatballs and the beef ragu poutine with crispy steak fries. For our main course, we shared the chicken parm for two; it was absolutely amazing with a perfect crust and great sauce. We also enjoyed the spaghetti, rigatoni, and bucatini pasta, all of which were excellent. I look forward to returning soon to try more wonderful dishes.

Came here with a group of my girls today and I will say the hype around town did not let down! The reservation process was very easy and quick to fill out! We came in half an hour after they opened and we were greeted by such lovely hostesses and a warm atmosphere, the service by our server zusy was outstanding, she was very educated on the menu and answered every question we had. The food was immaculate and on the spot! we ordered a little more than we could handle because the menu was amazing haha! We definitely got our moneys worth and will be coming again!!!

“We wanted to try this place but it was all booked solid so we ordered online.”

We wanted to try this place but it was all booked solid so we ordered online. Margarita pizza and chicken Marsala were our choices. Ordered thru Toast local. It was ready in 20 minutes and we got our food without a hitch! It was ready with the hostess. The food was well prepared. Very tasty and not over cooked or dry. Delicious! Highly recommend. If we can get a reservation we would like to try it. The atmosphere looked very inviting.

“This place was really good.”

This place was really good. I had the pasta and garlic knots, and both were delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had tons of flavor, and the garlic knots were warm, soft, and super buttery. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend if you’re craving Italian food.

“Went to Ovvio for my mom’s birthday and the food was fantastic.”

Went to Ovvio for my mom’s birthday and the food was fantastic! The atmosphere and restaurant itself were so beautiful. I also really appreciated the complimentary valet given the parking lot is quite small. The servers have amazing attention to detail and quite attentive at all times! My absolute favorite dish was the grilled bread with the fig jam and whipped ricotta. I could not stop eating it. For entrees, we got the Mediterranean salmon and the filet. Both were cooked to perfection, extremely fresh, and perfect portion size. Finally, we finished with one of the best tiramisu’s in my life! The almonds on top added the most amazing crunch. I look forward to coming back soon with more of my family and friends!
