Staff are super friendly. Food was just so so. Very disappointed in the brunette Sunday. I think they forgot to add the basil. I certainly didn't taste any. The gluten-free bread was great though! The ceasar was really good too. Nice and tangy. I had the gf Caliente Chicken. It was okay but the flavors were a little odd. Hubs had the crab cake Italiano. He was really disappointed. Said the crab cakes seemed frozen and/ or overcooked, as they were tough. We did really enjoy the flourless chocolate cake. Nothing felt freshly prepared though. Seems like it might be heat and serve. read more

All good! Love the Asiago chicken pasta! Wait staff are friendly. Restaurant is clean. read more

Bistro style Italian restaurant in Tyler Texas we stopped in hungry and ready to eat! Good news was the restaurant smelled great, scent of garlic in the air! We started with the fried calamari, it was solid at a 7 and comes with a very good marinara sauce and a sharp horse radish tarter ? Both were very good Dinner was chicken marsala over a bed of angel hair as well as chicken scallopini with spinach over angel hair . Both were interesting takes as the sauce is cream based and misses the sharpness of the traditional version I'm used to but the dish was appropriately described Final was a tasty BIG piece of cheese cake , no issues here :) read more

The food just underwhelming. I got the portifino pizza. Supposed to have chicken on in. No chicken. They spinach pasta tasted like a frozen dinner. The pepperoni bread prob was the best thing. Kids meals took forever because they were changing out the oil. Waitress was did a good job. Husband got the chicken parm. He said it was ok, Olive Garden is much better. Won't be back. We tried because we had a coupon. Bathroom needs work. read more

One of my favorite restaurants but today I had to hunt for the chicken in the chicken Alfredo. There was hardly any there

Great clean tasty place. Worth the wait fir a fresh hot lunch. Lunch specials are reasonable and just enough. Caesar salad fresh and good. Pizza was great flavor. Sweet tea just right. Like all businesses they are short staffed so be patient. Easy to find and easy parking. Yes read more

In town for business and I've been looking at this restaurant for days now and the reviews. Tonight finally gave it a try and I was super impressed and absolutely loved the meal. The service was extremely efficient and courteous. The bruschetta was so rich in taste. I very much enjoy the shrimp scampi dinner; though wasn't in the mood for shrimp. I asked if they can prepare the dish without shrimp, but adding tomatoes, mushrooms, and broccoli. The response was, sure~absolutely. It came out tasting so delicious and the sauce was amazing. Thank you for catering to my special request and I look forward to dining here again. read more

It's a pretty enough restaurant. When you walk in there are chairs stacked on the benches where people wait. Not very welcoming. We were seated quickly and waited on quickly. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and my daughter ordered pasta with Alfredo sauce and chicken. Our food came out quickly. My daughter said it was the worst Alfredo she had ever had. My Caesar was ok. Maybe there are better things on their menu. Probably won't go back to find out. read more

Well I used waitr to order a Greek salad with chicken. the salad was 15 bucks, with delivery and taxes the order came to 31 bucks. I didn't even order a drink since there was not an option for drinks in the app. I figured for a 15 dollar salad I should be getting a pretty good size salad. Well I was very disappointed when I finally got my salad to see how small it was. The attached photo is the small Greek salad that cost me 15 bucks, 31 total for delivery that took them almost 2 hours to get to me. The salad was good, but I was very disappointed in how small the salad was considering how much I paid for it... read more

I visited the Oliveto and a man name Alejandro helped me. Alejandro was helpful, kind, sweet, patient and has great customer service. He goes over and beyond for the customers. I will be back because of him. read more

Delicious pizza, shrimp scampi, spinach dip, breadsticks, and shrimp Alfredo. Place was clean & quiet. We will return!

Not impressed at all. To start we ordered bruschetta, it was a pita bread served with a martini glass full diced tomatoes drenched in cheap balsamic and an overdose of garlic. Nothing like a traditional bruschetta. The chicken Parmesan was completely flavorless, we were very disappointed that most of the dishes that would typically be served with a starch and vegetable just came served on top of a bed of pasta. Will say the pepperoni bread was good! read more

$20 for a cold pizza. How hard is it to keep a pizza warm. Ugh.

Always closed during normal hours you'd expect them to be open. Really want to try the food. Ordered DD and went to store and just a sign on door that said they were closed. read more

I highly recommend this place as a go-to for Italian food! All the flavors were authentic and flavorful, not to mention a proportionate amount of food, without being overly excessive. The price point is accurate to the quality! I ordered the eggplant Parmesan with the $2.50 up charge of cauliflower rice, instead of angel hair pasta, YUMMY! The calamari appetizer is great with 2 sauce options and it even had vegetables fried in the mix. We also ordered the trio to sample the menu and it was exceptionally delicious! The bad in my opinion were the breadsticks way too doughy and not enough seasoning. Tyler always has bad water so that would also be a negative, otherwise AWESOME place to try!!! read more

Husband was told he couldn't have lasagna after he ordered it off the lunch menu! So he asked for something similar and waiter suggested spaghetti! LoL waiter says it comes with meatballs. What he received was bow tie pasta with 1/2 c of sauce, no meat! He asked for ranch twice. Never got it. Asked for more napkins. Never got it. Will NEVER BE BACK! read more

This place is a small chain but was intrigued by the Italian nachos. Yummy! Next time I will try the pasta. They even have a special that entrees are a percentage off between 8pm and closing. read more

Need to teach the dishwasher people how to clean and wash the plates and silverware. Food stuck on them.

We are not from around here and wanted to give it a try. We were a party of 5. We arrived at 7:20. The website says they close at 9pm. We waited for about 10 min without being greeted. When we were finally greeted, she told us they close at 8 and they were not accepting any more tables. We took our money somewhere else. Bad experience. read more

The Italian Nachos were good. We both enjoyed our entrees as well. It was clean & pleasant place to dine.

Pretty good food. The service was great and the ambience was great. really appreciate it

Unfortunately the kind staff and quick service could not overshadow the food. We ordered a lasagna that was five layers of pasta with nothing between them , then some meat and a little cheese and then five more layers of pasta. The middle was still ice cold. The crab cake pasta was okay but the crab cakes were stale and cold (lore like hokey pucks). The pizzas had very little cheese and sauce. However- I would highly recommend the jalapeño risotto- but that is all we found even appetizing. read more

We ordered the Chicken Alfredo off the 2 for $22 menu. Service was great but the pasta had barely any chicken and mushrooms. The appetizer of bread sticks was great though. The booth seats we were seated in were ripped on both sides which my date complained about. Not a good look to take someone out to a place with torn up seats. Their cedar plank salmon is great and my employees have always loved coming here. Hope they can make some improvements to stay on top of the local scene. read more

First time visiting and the food was wonderful! For starters, the bruschetta (sundae) was so very good. Full of flavor and nice portion too for two adults to share. I ordered a chicken with spinach entree and it was so good. The chicken and pasta were perfectly cooked and the Alfredo tasted like homemade (very rich). My husband ordered the red and white ravioli - great portion size as well and with such great flavor! We will be returning!!! Thank you chefs and staff for such a great dinner! read more

Small and quaint, but the food is good, service is fast, people are friendly and portions are big.

Good ambience. Great service. My advice though, do not order the "Florentino Pizza" if you really like bacon because it is Simply MIA - NOT present. I told the waiter. He came back to report the "jalapeño bacon" is "supposed" to be in the creamed spinach....FALSE ADVERTISEMENT in my opinion as evidenced by the picture. I never even tasted an essence of bacon. read more

Oliveto Italian Bistro - Florentino Pizza - Italian Near Me - Tyler, Texas

I have ordered two times from there and they closed and I didn't receive my food. First time they called a hour after I preordered. Second time and my final time they didn't call me at all but said they called and a out of state woman answered the phone. I will never give them my business again. That's why the place is always empty. Trash service read more

After ordering our food, we saw roaches walking on top of one of the booths. I asked the waitress to come over and told her what we had seen and she looked and saw the roaches. Her response was "I don't know why they are out because we fumigated for them this morning". Not the response I wanted to hear. We asked for our order to be cancelled and as we were walking out, another roach walked across the floor. Very bad experience. read more

We went to Oliveto's for the first time with a group of 28. My hubby and I had to leave in short order, and our waiter got our food out quickly. My husband said the salmon salad was very good. I had the tortilla soup that was good even though it tasted more like chili with beans. The rest of the service was slow due to management only assigning one server (who did a great job) to our table, but our group didn't mind because we were enjoying catching up with each other since we only meet quarterly. read more

Hot beer. Slow service. Food still does not match what it says on the menu. Such a shame.

Order food to go and ordered the pesto alfredo pizza and was disappointed to find 10 little pieces of chicken and no alfredo, only pesto cheese and a little bit of chicken. My co-workers also ordered and their food was equally disappointing with one of their pizzas not having the spinach, bacon or jalapenos bc she chose "no dipping sauce" that does not mean remove sauce from the pizza! The last coworker order the chicken alfredo lunch duo with a house salad and was given a very small portion with all chicken and hardly any bowtie pasta. When we called to see if a resolution could be found we were told sorry there is nothing we can do to help you. We even ordered early before the lunch rush to avoid further issues but I'm definitely not going to be going back. read more

Jalapeno Bacon. 'nuff said. Pizza was awesome, ate the whole thing (snacked on it all afternoon). This is my go-to pizza place in Tyler now. Heard they have lots of other good dishes, too. Too bad, but I'm eating jalapeno bacon pizza. With extra cheese. ..and maybe some spicy Italian sausage. read more

I give Oliveto the Most Improved Award. I started coming here when they first opened a few years back when I was an undergrad at UT Tyler, and it was a good little place close to campus, but for the most part, the food was uninspired and other than the bartenders and a couple of their servers, the service was not that great. I came back this week to visit and speak at the school, and I ended up at Oliveto twice. Everything is much better. I had apps, entrees, and the choco chip cookie with the inventive little milk shots. I would like to be able to upgrade to Bailey's or Kahlua shots. I will complain about pizza preparation. For the pizzas with lots of different ingredients, sometimes things don't get spread out. I had the Bistro-Q (good overall), and one slice felt like entirely onions, another was entirely banana peppers. Spread the love. The carafe of house wine is only 13.50, and no bottle costs more than 27. Fairly good, modestly-priced selection. Didn't try cocktails this time around, but those were good before, so I'm sure they're still good. read more
