We came for brunch on a Sunday and got the bottomless Aperol Spritz' and some food. The brunch menu is pretty small (the only reason it's not getting 5 stars), but overall everything was really delicious. Our server was a queen - she had the next round of drinks up before we finished the previous one. Super nice, and a great vibe.

This place is great! We came here last night to celebrate my wife’s birthday with a group of 14. After walking I admittedly had my doubts about them being able to handle a group our size but they made it happen. Service was incredible by a server named Jay! Food was fantastic and we and the manager checked in on us often. 10/10 highly recommend.

This spot has a $16.99 Bottomless Spritz Brunch! Served Sat & Sun 10:30 AM - 3 PM, Oliver's Italian 'Bottomless Spritzy Brunch' offers an hour and a half of bottomless Bianco or Aperol Spritz for $16.99 with purchase of an entrée. We arrived and were seated on the patio. The patio had amazing natural light & set the tone for a fab brunch. The service was wonderful and the GM, Joey & Server, Kristen ran an exceptional brunch service and ensured we tried their favorites.
For cocktails, I did the $16.99 Bottomless Spritz while the rest of the girls did Blood Orange-Aperol & Strawberry Limone Spritzes off the main menu. The Blood Orange-Aperol & Strawberry Limone Spritzes come in huge, gorgeous goblets.
The Hearth Roasted Eggs were the star of the brunch and were all of our favorites. We had and order of the Zucchini, Red Sauce & Ricotta - the fresh ricotta, silky fire roasted zucchini, runny egg, and marinara sauce went so well together - and an order of the Creamed Spinach, Mushroom, Bacon, Parmigiano Reggiano. We would order both of these hearth roasted eggs again (each was served with rosemary pinsa bread).
The Cannoli French Toast was made with Custard Brioche, Macerated Berries, & Maple Syrup on Side. The pieces of brioche were thick with a crisp, golden exterior. They had a pillowy, custard center that made for the ultimate brunch treat.
Oliver's Italian is owned & operated by the same restaurateur of Blue Island Oyster Bar, so you know we had to get some oysters!
For Oliver's Pinsa Romana (Roman-Style Pizza), we had the Mortadella & Pistachio made with fresh pesto, fior di latte mozzarella, roasted garlic crème, & pistachio. This pizza is a must order; the mozzarella cheese was soft with a delicate sweetness that was complemented by the silky, rich mortadella & crunchy pistachios.
The Italian Scrambled Eggs were made with Prosciutto, Soppressata, Roasted Tomatoes, Spinach, Burrata Cheese, Potatoes Parmigiano & Arugula Salad.
The Carbonara was made with Guanciale, Cracked Pepper, Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, & Egg Yolk. The carbonara was pure comfort and boasted a creamy sauce with a a hint of spice from the cracked pepper.
For Dessert we had the Tiramisu and shots of Espresso. Now that’s how to brunch!

I’ve been to Oliver’s twice. Once with a table of eight and once with my son. Both times the service had been great. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. Note: I sat in the main dining room and not the side room where they have installed heaters. The food has been a bit hit or miss. The first meal of Shrimp and scallop Portofino was good, but I wouldn’t call it great (personal preferences, right?). On the other hand, I went for restaurant week and I thought my Jumbo Shrimp Scampi was great! We enjoyed our appetizers and dessert as well. It’s nice to have some more choices in the DTC area.
