Customer Reviews

"Monte Olivos was good"

- Amy M.

"Having just moved here to Harlem just 7 months ago we've been looking for a nice relaxing place to eat when I don't feel like cooking. We really felt comfortable dining here! The wait staff was inviting, the food delicious, and the price was reasonable. We enjoyed it so much we came back for our 29th anniversary. It was just a cozy family atmosphere."

- Christine M.

"We've Been here a several times now. Dine in 3-4 times and takeout 2 or 3 times. First couple of times everything was fine. Service was good and food was good. The past 3 times we've had issues with orders not being corrected, missing items/ingredients in dishes and food not coming out together. The most recent was 4 of us went we ordered 3 dinners and a calzone. The dinners all came out together but the calzone never made it to the table that we finished eating so the person who ordered the calzone asked for it to just be put in a to go box. We actually received the check before we received the calzone. During this visit, one of the dinners was missing the ricotta. When we got home, the person who ordered the calzone went to eat it, and all that was in it was mozzarella, no ricotta. They ordered it, saying they didn't want any add-ins, just the cheeses. Now we are searching for something for the person who ordered the calzone to eat. We really enjoyed this restaurant and would go out of our way to go there since we live in Grovetown, but sadly, we will not be returning. When you spend almost $100 for dinner, you expect things to be right. The first time we had issues, we thought maybe it was an off night, but now this is the third time we've had issues."

"Full five star on this one. Served our group of around 15 people efficiently. The pizza came out hot. Gotta try the Fagetaboutit pizza. atmosphere was clean and neat. I'd definitely come back."

- YahYah

"I've gone on and off for a few years. Disappointed. The last two times the pizza has been better. Wish they'd put more cheese and not be stingy on the cheese. Otherwise a great tasting pizza. Lemon pepper wings were yummy. So two different purchases within a week. Just to show you."
