The Black Olive - JONESBOROUGH

The food was amazing, but the service wasn't great. We sat and the lady who sat and ordered our drink and an appetizer. It came that we were and sat for another 15-20 minutes before someone came to take our order. The food came out quickly and was delicious, but we never saw a server again. No refills on drinks, no one came to see if it was good. We probably say 10-15 minutes after dinner before our waitress came and brought us our check. As I said, good was delicious, but service was terrible. We didn't leave a tip!

This Restaurant is very pleasant to the eye. Natural light keeps the place well lit; didn't have to strain to read the menu. Picked the spicy shrimp and chicken. The Alfredo sauce was excellent, and the pasta was done just right. My compliments to the Chef. Cudos to Management, because the staff stayed busy folding napkins and other tasks when not taking care of customers. Tara is a good waitress. Can't wait to come back.

So good! World-class Italian eatery. One of the tastiest dinners that I have ever had. I highly recommend the calamari appetizer. Everything was cooked to perfection. The sauces are amazing.

We love this place. Everything we ordered was wonderful. I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich to go and it was the best I had. It was huge and enough for 2 meals. The spaghetti and meatballs could use a little more sauce, but I like sauces. The pizza is also a favorite.

The food was amazing AND large enough portions that will NOT let you starve. Recommend the Calamari Appetizer and the calf for your main dish. Although my wife and daughter-in-law would recommend the mushrooms as an appetizer with a pasta dish. My sons enjoyed the Stromboli (I think that was the name).
