"Finally made my way to Dolly Olive… it didn't disappoint. Whether you're there solo or on a date or with a group, it is great for all occasions. Beautiful presentation and it tasted as delicious as it looked. Highly recommend for a good meal and a nice night out in Portland."

"Dolly Olive is a whole experience. Delicious food. Great atmosphere and details are payed attention to. They clearly marked the menu for my sister's nut allergy and asked if we had any time restrictions for dining."

"The food and flavors at Dolly Olive were so unique in a good way. Items are served family style. The eggplant parmigiana may be the best version we've ever had. The service was very attentive… everyone seemed focused on ensuring we enjoyed every bite."
