The Olive Press

Nice place. Busy. Large. Not really personable. But friendly enough. Food was delicious. Would visit again.

Great experience! Great food and Emily and others were fantastic.
Great place for dining. Too bad they don't do reservations.

We came here to celebrate my sister finally submitting her thesis and were excited to celebrate with her.we had the most disappointing experience.firstly, i noticed that there's a "pappardelle carbonara" pasta on the menu but the description mentioned the pasta uses Alfredo sauce, not carbonara.when I asked the waiter about it she just laughed and said it's because the pasta uses pancetta.the four cheese ravioli only has three cheeses listed on the menu (ricotta, mozzarella, and Romano). I asked why it's called four cheese ravioli if there was only three cheeses and the waitress laughed.no response about it, just laughed.when we asked a second waitress, they said it's because they count Alfredo sauce as a "cheese".

I ordered the four cheese ravioli anyways and much to my surprise, there was cheddar cheese on top of my pasta. I have never had Alfredo sauce in my life with cheddar cheese on top. I showed the waitress and she said it wasn't cheddar. I pulled out a strand of cheddar and she said "oh I guess it does have cheddar in it". The manager then came over to discuss this with us and mentioned that their Alfredo sauce "always" had cheddar in it.this was not on the menu and the waitress obviously didn't know about it.the rest of the tables food was inedible.no one finished.luckily the manager took care of the bill for us.oh and did I mention each dish is $30? Save your money and go to a real Italian restaurant

I love this placevery friendly welcoming staff, food is delicious, the ribs where something else the only thing I did not like is the coriander added on my breaded chicken it completely changed the taste “as I hate coriander”

Mother's Day 2023, our family ate lunch here. The service was fine. The major problem was with the Lamb which had absolutely no meat on any of them- Huge deposits of fat, fat, fat throughout each, so that I couldn't get any protein whatsoever from the rest of the meal. The vegetables were super along with the Bruchetta and the Chocolate Lava Cake. Lamb is one of our families' favourite foods. Don't wish to take a chance on ever returning because of this incident. We always spend several hundred dollars and leave 20% tips for the service. I wish I could be certain this wouldn't happen again.

This was our first time at the restaurant. It came recommended from our son. The food was exceptional. My wife had the Honeymoon Seafood Pasta, I had the Pappardelle Carabonano. We also had the Calamari and the Chiabata as an appetizer. It was fantastic, the portions were good, had leftovers to take home. We will definitely go back.

I’m genuinely surprised this place is still in business. Food is mediocre at best. They probably living off of 1st timers that never come back.

I usually don’t mind paying premium for good food but my experience has been horrible. Appetizers are quite bad. Main course is average. Spend your money else where. You’ll thank me if you ever decide to try this place, but it will be too late.

House salad was nice because they added kale and a hot pepper. Mushroom ravioli is very nice.would have preferred something like arugula to balance the dish, and fewer mushrooms, frankly.

At 6.30 pm in the evening this place was quiet busy, bustling with families having a good time. The food was ok, it was a little too greasy for my palate but tasted great. If you are craving for a heavy wholesome meal this is a place to be. The atmosphere was busy and very active, lots of staff swiftly moving around to cater to the huge amount of guests.

AMAZING FOOD! You need to check it out for sure. Their Nachos are OUT of THE WORLD. Loved this place. Friendly staff.

Always delicious food, great service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend going here. If I had to describe the Olive Press in one word: AMAZING!

Tried this place for the first time and ordered a Vegetarian pizza via Uber eats. It looked ok when it arrived but we found 2 small pieces of meat in it, had to throw away the entire pizza. Pathetic quality.

Service was on the slower end. Food and atmosphere was moderate. But they do have good hours of operations.

I had dined here last week with my mom. We both had great size portions and the food was great. Would definitely go back.

Prices have definitely gone up in this post covid world. But I think this place is definitely worth it.

From ratings perspective, I would rate this restaurant at 3.0. The place looks magnificent when looked at from Dundas St. However, interior lacks the fine dining experience that one would expect when looking at the exterior. A lot could be done to enhance the oomph of the place, given the space it has and the location it is at. In terms of food, I would rate it at average. Nothing exceptional. The garlic bread had good volumes of cheese but the bread was thick and doughy. The build your own pizza was decent. Mushroom ravioli lacked flavour, was quite dry & bland. Kids menu is priced decently with good amount of choices for $11 per kid but lacks quality of a good restaurant. Drinks offered to kids comes with unlimited refills (pop only) but it lacks quality as it is tap pop. Food for adults has a massive scope for improvement. Not sure if we would ever revisit again. On our way out we bumped into a very young boy who claimed to be the chef and advised that he had prepared the meals. He looked barely of age and we didn't even know how to respond when he asked about the food! Thanks for accommodating us on Fathers Day Eve.but definitely the food didn't make our evening the best.

The workers are always so nice and the service is top-notch. The food is always amazing and gets there quickly (most of the time, except if you have a big party it can take a little longer but not by much.) The place itself is very inviting and cozy. The only thing that bothered me was it was a tad bit cold so I recommend bringing a cardigan, but that's just me being picky. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice dinner. <3 (sorry the pics I took are bad)

Food was good, but prices are way up.don't even give you bread anymore. You have to pay for it! Servers are welcoming.

Good experience. Good interiors. Staff was very friendly.
Felt a bit overpriced for the food quantity.

I went there with my family. The food is absolutely stunning services amazing! Can't wait to go back again for the second round.

Great Place! Worth taking guests and having business lunches/dinners here. Food is fantastic!
