    Outstanding lunch and overall experience at The Naked Olive today! Delicious food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. Great menu made it so difficult to choose. We'll be going back soon for sure. Highly recommend!

    If you ever find yourself in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, do yourself a favor and visit The Naked Olive! OH. MY. GOODNESS was this place fun to visit, and the food was PHENOMENAL! Order the breaded eggplant sandwich, grape salad, and more! We have to give our server Mark a shoutout as well. He made the experience even better. Probably one of the best servers we've ever had. Ask for Mark for sure! He was AWESOME! It has fun decor as well. What a great experience!

    So very good. The Naked Olive was a recommendation for our trip to Kennet Square. We dined early, 5pm. Over the next hour the restaurant grew to a busy humm. Our friendly server Mackenzie, started us off with black and green olives and oil, with warm bread. So soft and yummy we ate all of it. We ordered the short rib egg roll. What an unusual presentation. The bread like roll was cut horizontally on the diagonal. Very filling. We shared the arugula grape salad and pesto gnocchi. Honesty, deliciously over stuffed, we managed to order dessert of baklava. Reasonable prices, ample parking and outdoor dining.

    My family was EXTREMELY pleased with our experience at the Naked Olive, a family owned Mediterranean restaurant in Kennett Square. From the hostesses to the waitress to the chef to the owner, the service was great all around. The restaurant itself, in addition, is absolutely beautiful. We loved the cozy, yet sophisticated and earthy vibes. There's enough variable space that you can get a different experience each time without feeling like you're sitting on top of someone else. They also had a lovely heated patio space. Our waitress, Hannah, was lovely. She was super attentive and was even friendly enough to laugh at our jokes (whether they were funny or not). She was also kind enough to share all the specials and was attentive to every need. Major compliments to the chef here. We had 0 complaints about the food and it was all beautiful. We ordered the fried mozzarella ($13) and spanakopita ($10) as appetizers and both were delish. For entrees we ordered the steak frites ($39), braised lamb shank ($40), seafood cioppino ($38), and the sea bass special. The food was phenomenal and presented so well. At the end of our meal, we had the opportunity to speak with co-owner, Dimitri, who was very personable and welcoming. This is a must try if you're in the area!

    First time here, four of us for dinner. We had the Spaghetti De La Nona, Kennett Square Mushroom Melt, Grilled Whole Bronzino and a Classic Caesar Salad. Everything was very good . The Mushroom Melt was the hit o, the evening. We took half of one home to have the next day, and it was great warmed up in the microwave. The spaghetti was good, and I am not sure if they make their own red sauce or if it was canned, it was good but not the best in the area. This is a BYOB, so if you want a drink, make sure you bring your own. For dessert, I had a citrus infused crème brûlée it was very good, it's not on the menu, but it was a special that night. Atmosphere is a little bland however the noise level is low. Service was very good and not rushed. There is plenty of parking. I would visit again.

    Branzino

    We had a fun, relaxing dinner on the outside terrace, with very good service and excellent food. Branzino over broccolini and rice was superb. Chicken Lemonde was sumptuous. The Castilla burger was one of the best veggie burgers around. We appreciated the very reasonable corkage fee for BYOB wine. After appetizers and salad, we were too full for dessert, which will have to wait until we return to The Naked Olive on our next visit to Longwood Gardens.

It came with a lot of very good fries. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, but I am picky about the cheese. I would have a stronger cheese, but it is my personal cheese preference. I contemplated getting fries, but I am glad I did not because they were a large size. I was in the mood for potato chips, and there were a couple of different types of them. I am glad I got the Herr's kettle chips because they are the best. Also, there were larger bags of snacks- they had Uncle Jerry pretzels, which are so good. Therefore, I think they choose the best pretzels/snacks foods for their customers to select from. While I was waiting for lunch to be prepared, I looked at their prepared and frozen meals. I bought a shepherd's pie, which I had the day after. It was fair- it could have been seasoned a lot better. I would not purchase it again. I bought some big tan beans in olive oil (?) in their refrigerated section. They were delicious, and I would buy them again. This store was clean and very well staffed by friendly employees. We ate outside on the somewhat rusty tables. We are looking forward to returning again here!

We initially planned to have dinner at the restaurant, but our GPS led us to the adjacent sports bar with the same name. We were seated at a high-top table near the bar and greeted by our friendly server. The menu was similar to the restaurant (I think), but regardless, we were looking for pizza and a beer. They offer two styles of crust: NY-style and Neapolitan. We ordered a cheese pizza with the latter wood fired crust. Our pizza arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was fine. The crust was not as light as I thought it should be. The pie was a good size and plenty for both of us. Service was great the entire evening, and we enjoyed our meal.

    I visited Giordano's recently after a lovely visit to Longwood gardens. It was a Saturday night and…read morewhat I first noticed upon walking in was that the place was dead, so many open tables. I wasn't sure what to make of it as I would have expected a full house on a Saturday night. I'm going to start with a few opportunities. First, the initial glass of water I was brought was not clean. There was literally some food on the side of it. Second and keeping on the topic of water, the waiter did not come back to fill empty glasses of water. Next, I was looking forward to the tomato garlic bread but it was hard when I but into it. Finally, my counterpart ordered a burger and after eating about half of the burger, each bite was like biting into a pallet of salt. It was like someone accidentally spilled a salt shaker so he obviously couldn't finish it. On the positive side, the place was quiet which was nice, the manager (or maybe it was even the owner) when we asked for more water bought us a carafe so we didn't run out again (which I love), and also when we left I accidentally forgot my takeout container on the table and again the manager (or owner) ran out after us to get it to us which I appreciated so much. Relative to the food, it was average (minus the salt side of the burger which was not good). The soft pretzel appetizer was good and I had lasagne which was decent enough. I will say it was a huge lasagne portion (two squares)! Overall, I'm not sure I'd go back with so many other options.
