I
was
in
New
York
for
a
weekend
vacation.
Staying
with
my
friend
who
lives
in
Manhattan,
we
walked
around
and
explored
the
city.
While
sitting
in
a
park,
we
decided
to
go
to
an
Italian
restaurant
for
lunch.
The
one
she
had
in
mind
wasn't
open
until
dinner
time,
which
lead
us
to
Olio.
After
my
experience
there,
I'm
happy
the
first
place
was
closed!
The
restaurant
itself
is
absolutely
adorable.
The
decor
and
vibe
make
you
feel
like
you're
in
Italy,
even
though
your
surrounded
by
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
New
York
City.
The
outside
seating
area
is
delightful
-
plenty
of
flowers
and
plants.
The
structure
is
painted
with
a
pleasant
green
color,
and
the
chairs
and
tables
give
a
rustic
feel.
Our
server
took
a
while
in
between
visits
to
our
table,
but
this
was
understandable
considering
they
were
very
busy
with
a
lunch
rush.
We
received
bread
with
olive
oil
and
olives
a
little
while
after
we
ordered.
I
ordered
the
fusilli
e
manzo
-
fusilli
noodles,
tomato
sauce,
braised
beef
brisket,
and
parmesean.
Um,
WOW.
There
was
a
generous
portion
of
brisket
and
everything
about
my
dish
was
perfect.
I
loved
the
flavor!
It
was
a
great
portion
too,
just
right.
My
friend
got
burrata
and
lemoncello
ravioli
-
shrimp,
kale,
and
herbs.
My
fiance
and
other
friend
got
the
tagliatelle
bolognese
-
classic
prep.
Everyone
finished
their
plates,
so
I
guess
they
enjoyed
their
pasta
just
as
much
as
I
did.
If
you're
looking
for
scrumptious
authentic
Italian
food,
this
is
your
place.
Great
spot
for
a
nice
lunch
date!
