This shop, home to many varietals of olive oil, vinegar and other gourmet goodies, shares space with Dark Horse Pastries, so you also have your choice of baked goods. They also sell a small array of wine and beer, and products from other local companies such as chocolates and honey (creamed raw raspberry honey, anyone? Sounds good to me!) You can taste all the varieties of oil and vinegar. Like it spicy? Pick from habanero, jalapeno or red pepper oil! Want fruit flavor? How about Mexican Lime, Meyer Lemon or Blood Orange? The balsamic vinegar came in an array of interesting flavors, including Dark Chocolate, which I think would pair well with strawberries! I liked that there were larger and smaller sized bottles to choose from (small size was 5 oz). They also sell a modest range of dip mixes, mustard, pesto, pasta, and assorted other treats. The addition of the bakery in the same building makes this shop a little different from some of the other gourmet places around here (note that there are several other places in downtown Naperville that specialize in this type of product). It's slightly hard to find (go down the alley between Potbelly and the yellow house building and it's in the courtyard behind), but worth looking for! Staff was friendly but not pushy, and quite "on" for early morning! :) Note to credit card users: if you spend less than $5, an extra 50¢ charge is added.

This is a hidden gem!!

I've since visited this store twice - once when they first opened and once a few weeks ago. Their selection of balsamic vinegars in different flavors are fresh and unique for the area. I really like that they have spicy oils too, which are my favorite! They have testers with bread of each product so you can test your favorite before purchasing! I don't find their prices too be that expensive either! I would definitely recommend supporting this local business downtown if you're in need of some fresh oils or vinegars!

The staff are extremely knowledgeable about all of their products, and can give you quite a few hints as to what to use each thing for, and they're great about finding exactly what you need even if you weren't sure what it was at first. We've gone in there wanting to get a tea, for this mood, or feeling this way, or just to experiment with a new flavor and after just a couple of simple questions they had several suggestions, and you can sample some of the oils, teas, etc.. They do have a few places to sit if you want to have a nice small pot of hot tea while you work. We've made this a minimum of once or twice a week visit, and suggest the same for anyone wanting quality tea, seasonings, essential oils, etc.

Beyond the outstanding customer service, the shop itself is charming and beautifully curated. From exceptional olive oils and balsamics to spices, gourmet foods, and hot chocolate mixes, there's always something new to discover. Michelle is incredibly knowledgeable and loves sharing recipe ideas and pairing suggestions, and I appreciate that you can sample many of the products before buying. There are so many different olive oil and balsamics that it can be hard to choose, but I love that Michelle often has samples prepared of interesting ways to use the unique flavors. My husband and I have visited several times, and every visit has been warm and welcoming. If you're looking for high-quality products and genuinely exceptional service, I can't recommend Olive 'n Vinnie's enough!

What really sold me is the outstanding customer service only second to the verity of products the shop stocks. What great experience! The new owners, Michelle and her husband, since January 1st, 2026 will gain your respect and you will continue to patronize this shop. The store is jammed packed with infused olive oils and accompanied items. It does make it a bit difficult to navigate in a wheelchair and browse even tho they have a wheelchair ramp inviting the mobility challenge into an array of wonderful smells. Don't let this deter you. Michelle made note and said she will work on modifications to floor plan for inclusion of this demographic. This is why you shop a small business over a big box store.

The minute we walked through the door, we were completely wowed by the vibe and atmosphere. It was honestly not what we were expecting at all, and we were pleasantly surprised. I'm already looking forward to coming back in the evening to experience the atmosphere then! Our server, Matthew, was amazing. He was attentive without ever hovering, and when the dish I originally wanted wasn't available, he suggested the Grilled Chicken Asiago. What a great recommendation -- it did not disappoint! It was absolutely exceptional. We started with the house bread and Eggplant Parmesan Roll-Ups, both delicious. My husband had the Braised Pork Marsala over mashed potatoes, and it was fantastic as well. The portions were abundant, everything was seasoned perfectly, and every bite was delicious. We were already talking about our next visit before we even left. Next time, we've decided we're going to share an appetizer and split a meal so we have room to try the tiramisu! Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service from Matthew. What a wonderful first experience -- we'll definitely be back!

We actually thought we were undressed but the hostess just laughed and said we were fine. There is a bar you could eat at but they do have ample dinning area.

OMG really good, large and fluffy, add oil and parm to taste. There were good entree options but we both opted for the Legendary Vodka Rigatoni Chicken Cutlet. This did not disappoint. Great tasting and perfectly cooked. Good sized portion as well. You have a soup or salad option. Their house Italian had a really good taste. We were too stuffed for dessert but this is definitely a must return! Did I mention Excellent staff! Everyone was so friendly.
