Olivo Bistro

Never have had a complete order. This place can’t get their stuff together. I’m stupid for giving them more than four chances. I think the GM stays drinking cause she always at the bar with a drink and has a bad attitude. No true service there. I ordered 10 wings and a side of fries. Was charged correctly but they tried to pass off 6 wings and soggy fries in a tied up bag. After 40 mins it took for the order to come out all they offered is to drop 4 more wings for my trouble. I hear they are changing to a Rounders so new managment will bring me back in since obviously the general manager there is so ignorant and incompetent to be able to run their business or want our business due to their own mistakes in being able to get any of their orders correct. Pizza is awesome tho. Make sure you get double pep but the pizza is great. Dont stay and order to go and you should be fine. Also Patrick is an outstanding bartender. Too bad he has to listen to a GM that has no business leading a team or being in the service industry.

After coming here for a few years, I would place Olivo in my Top 3 poker bars within the greater Henderson area. They also have MUCH better than your average appetizers!
I’m a fan of the eggplant Napoleon and the stuffed mushrooms.
Try a pizza, the first one I had here was one of the best pizzas I’ve had in Vegas!
And, the takeout pizza price for a Large (maybe just Mon-​Thurs) is so reasonable, $ 10.95 plus $ 1 per topping. However, I was charged $ 3 for adding bacon which I didn’t see on the menu.
They have Crafthaus Brewery Resinate IPA on draft– so support your local brewery!
Service at the bar is great and they are quite friendly as well! I like the variety of poker games they have and they are Gambler’s Bonus affiliated. I joined their text club for gaming promos and received just one text for a match play and that was over a year ago.
I hope they reinstate it!

Very slow service and seem to always get something wrong. Prices are way out of line for the quality of the food. Sad its a very nice looking place and has potential.

Good local restaurant. It’s a lot better than the restaurant that was here five years ago. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly.
The burgers and homemade chips are pretty bomb. The servings are large so you may have leftovers.
We go in occasionally and it is never crowded. The place is clean and the staff is always friendly. We mostly do phone in and pick up orders and our food is always neatly packed and hot. We never had a any issues with this restaurant.

I ate there four times. It’s an Okay restaurant, when u dont feel like driving on Eastern or to Town Square.. The food was allright. I think they need better chefs to serve better quality food, etc. I have had better Italian dishes in different Restaurants in Henderson or Las Vegas. (My honest feedback)

I agree with the reviews on the food. We usually get it when we’re too tired to drive anywhere over 10 minutes away. I hate to write terrible reviews but their service is the worst. Last month we tried to walk in and place an order and their chef called in sick! Okay, no problem, things happen. Tonight we placed an order over an hour and a half ago and their excuse is that they’re waiting on the pizza. Since when does it take almost 2 hours to make pizza?! I’m all for supporting local businesses but things like this force me to go to chain restaurants.

Man this place is not good at all. First off the food took forever to come out and we were the only people in the restaurant so not sure what took so long. Secondly the meals we ordered were just not done well. Seafood salad had a bland flavor and the crab was definitely frozen possibly from Costco because it has no flavor at all. Also I got 4 mini shrimp total in my seafood salad. Don’t need to come back to this place ever

Pretty gross all around, from the broccoli that tasted like fish thrown all over my piccata to the bland, white chicken. The guy who took my order over the phone was nice… but that’s about it.

Three visits within four months and no improvements to report. I’ve given this eatery every opportunity to supply a satisfactory experience. They have failed in every category.
The food is bland and substandard, most likely a frozen product, blasted with microwaves then finished in the oven. Though, I was served a portion of lasagna during my last visit that definitely was not finished in the oven.
The service is impersonal, slow and unapologetic.
Your results may vary, but proceed with caution.

We are in Henderson visiting family and decided to give Olivos a try.
We had dinner tonight and had zero complaints. We had four adults and one kid and sat in a large, comfy booth in the non-​smoking dining room side. Unfortunately my daughter was not on her best behavior so it was hard to enjoy dinner — but it wasn’t at all the fault of the staff, restaurant, etc.
The waiter promptly greeted us, brought menus and took drink orders. We had our drinks and breadsticks quickly and placed our orders. Salads and soup came out and were great. The food is simple, but good. Then our entrees came out. My dinner was a little cooler than I prefer, but the food was excellent. Actually all 5 of us enjoyed our dinners. I got the spaghetti and meatballs and it was excellent. The meatballs were huge and delicious and the serving size was huge –leftovers!
Overall we’d all come back! It was sad to see the place empty. It was very good!

So I have eaten here a few times, mainly because the proximity. I have to say their food is pretty good but their service is excellent.
The bartender (did not catch his name) helped tremendously on a pick up order when he saw that I hd my hands full with my toddler. He took the time to walk the food out to my car even though I knew he had patrons at his bar and he was the only one there. That is the kind of service that makes me love this restaurant now.
Food wise I recommend any of the sandwiches or the feta salad. It’s a favorite of our family’s. Come for the food. Keep coming back because the service was great.

Horrible combative bartender. He was training someone new behind the bar. She was making my drink 90 percent soda water with a splash of vodka while he made my husbands drink. First time in my life I have ever sent a drink back. I told him it was all soda water. He actually yelled at me and told me I was wrong. I was shocked at how he spoke to me. I have been in a couple of times prior to order to go food after work. The owner has always been at or behind the bar. Not this time. My husband has even tried to go in to eat after work. People were sitting at the bar but no one around to open the door. Strange. Horrendous service and I will never come back now due to the bartender. Sad. He along with their not so great food is killing their business. The amount of terrible reviews of this place tell the story. Go elsewhere.

The food here is really good. Nice scenery very clean place.
Louis the bartender is attentive so friendly. Loraine the manager is so sweet.
She cares about the costumers needs. The machines pay out here.
Great place! It’s worth checking out.

We went here at 5:00 and we were the only ones here for the whole dinner, which was
1 ½ hrs. Ordered calamari with hot peppers. Calamari was not crispy and hardly any peppers and they were sweet NOT hot.
Had to ask if they had the bread with olive oil. Waiter said I was just going to ask you. Should have brought it before the appetizer. The bourbon drinks were good. We shared the chicken picatta. I had to ask for lemon, Parmesan and red pepper to spice it up. It was flavorless. It’s a shame because the restaurant is beautiful. The two stars was for the drinks.

I live in the area and found this restaurant by accident. It is a bit isolated and not very well known.
The service was incredible and our dinner was delectable. I had the Veal Marsala and was blown away by it. I love Nora’s fine cuisine but their Veal Marsala does not touch this place (nor the portion).
The background music and atmosphere were conducive to the palate.
The two times my wife have dined here, we have been most impressed.

We were hungry late enough in the evening that most restaurants were closed so we decided to give Olivo a try even though the reviews were not great. It was late enough that the dining room was closed so we had to eat in the bar. The bartender was super attentive to our needs and provided outstanding customer service even though we were the only ones sitting in a booth instead of at the bar.
I had the beef on weck sandwich and it was really good. It had a high quality beef and very creamy horseradish. Yum. The fries were crisp on the outside yet meaty on the inside. Very tasty. My husband had a seafood salad that had very delicious cajun seasoned shrimp.
We will be going back.

Worst food… bad wine pour… inexperienced help and not enough of it… seat yourself… flatware wrapped up in your napkin… bread was thin and yukky and we each took one piece and the waiter whisked it away as if we were through with it… we had to ask for the balsamic and oil and they had no clue how to pour it. Both of us left our food, uneaten. We dined there twice before with 1 year between each visit…3 strikes and you are O U T!!! it got worse each time.

The quality of their food (in comparison to when it was Giuseppe’s) has dramatically increased in flavor and quality. Lorraine and the wait staff are incredibly warm. Had to deal with a hostess in training who appeared CLUELESS, but all in all, happy to have Olivo in the neighborhood.

A Mediocre Pizza Joint At Best
Anthem needed a restaurant so badly, I think just about everyone wanted to like this place. Post-Guiseppe’s, it offers an even smaller menu, smaller portions, yet charges the same prices.
I’m all in favor for paying for a quality meal, but the beautifully decorated building can only take you so far. Pasta served in tiny cereal bowls for $ 15.95. Slow, disinterested service from the hostess on through the wait staff. I had to wait 15 minutes for the bill, with only one other couple there!
If you want somewhat passable pizza and don’t feel like using your own oven, it’s not terrible, but keep your expectations to a minimum.
Sorry, Olivo’s, swing and a miss.

Anthony B calls this a regular slot bar? I don’t know what bars he’s referring to, but the food quality at Olivo’s (and Giuseppe’s as it used to be called) is well beyond anything to be found at PT’s or virtually any other «slot bar» I’ve been to — and I’ve been to a lot.
That being said, the menu has been cut down somewhat. When I asked about it, I was told the management would rather do fewer things better than try to be everything to everyone and have quality suffer as a result. Sounds like a good idea to me. Also, I was told that the restaurant menu had more selections on it and wouldn’t you know, the pizza Anthony misses (along with maybe other items — I didn’t look at it too long) is still on the dining room menu, which is also available in the bar during typical dinner hours of I believe 4pm-​8pm or something like that.
In any case, I like to gamble, eat, drink and be merry, and I can do so here easily at any time. There were some service issues several months ago after they first opened as Giuseppe’s, but since then the staff has really come around and the place has never been better. They’ve redone the entrance, remodeled the dining room and even added a progressive to a couple of machines — both $ 1 and quarters — in the bar. I look for good paytables when playing, and the ones at Olivo’s are still far and away the best in the area. Surprisingly enough they didn’t even use the name change as an excuse to tighten things up as I’ve seen other places do in the past — WTG Olivo’s!
If you want quality Italian food in a pleasant atmosphere, a good bar to hang out at, a fair gamble or a fine place for a quick bite at lunch (as with my trip here this visit) then Olivo’s is the answer in Anthem. If you want a gigantic menu with mediocre food then go find a Cheesecake Factory and take Anthony with you. Giving a place one star based solely on a name change and slightly reduced menu is BS unless there’s a service or quality issue to go with it, and I didn’t hear that in his review. I’ll give five stars to help balance out the unfairness. Shame on anyone giving a one-​star review based on nothing but losing their favorite meal due to a menu change — that’s not what Unilocal is about.
And truthfully Olivo’s might be worth a five star rating anyway — time will tell — but certainly a solid 4 — 4 ½ is well earned already. Welcome to the neighborhood Olivo’s — I look forward to seeing you again soon when I have more time!
