Olivia's Bistro

Great food and service

Amazing food, vegetarian friendly. City quality dining in Newton.

From the moment we opened the doors, we were embraced with open arms and a warm welcome that took some of the anxiety from being in a new restaurant. The dim-lighting and contemporary artwork painted a picture of what was to come, and we were actually looking forward to the experience, considering it was an out-of-the-blue evening decision. Service was great! The appetizers were even better, and I definitely recommend the Mussels and Fries to start off with - great, powerful flavors that make the mouth salivate and desire for more. We were also offered bread with olive oil as we decided on what to get, and I do wish the slices of bread had been toasted - just for the extra taste profile, but that didn't deter us. Our entree, the Roasted Chicken, was good also - however, the appetizers were the HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT with their complex flavors while being simple dishes. As for the De Pasquele's Pizza we got - too many toppings which weighed down the pizza, and the thin crust didn't help, which caused the slices unmanageable with one-hand grab. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and am looking forward to visiting soon enough to try other dishes.

Olivias is superb! We had a truly wonderful server who brought my son a second plate of mac & cheese when he accidentally dropped (and broke) his first plate. Cocktails 10/10 and food 10/10 what a neighborhood gem!

As a first time in Newton, not knowing where to go, my Fiancé and I went to Olivia‘s bistro, and we enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and the food. They were very accommodating to our dietary restrictions and would recommend again and would definitely come back. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were delicious flavorful and there was quite a variety, and if you wanted to order off the selected vegetarian items, they were happy to accommodate.
