Olive Cove Italian Kitchen - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The food was delicious, great service! Never ran out of our drinks and will definitely be coming back!

BE CAREFUL many of these 5* reviews may be influenced by the free dessert you get by giving the review The food was good, a little pricey but good The service was terrible! Didn't get bread until after entrée came out, and other tables were getting bread... we felt judged by our server (won't mention names) the server was not attentive... but also was the only one there so that could be the reason... Highlights! The gentlemen that brought the food genuinely seemed to care about what they were doing and did a great job Tiranisu was awesome!

Delicious food and good service

Always delicious! A favorite place for us!

Food tastes excellent! Has a nice authentic flavor! The server was quick, nice, and helpful. I see why it’s been a staple in the local yulee community :)

Better than all the ones around me the best atmosphere and the service was top notch A must for Italian!! Sorry nothing to share in the photo it that good

Everything was delicious and service was timely and very courteous. Will definitely be back. Just a great dining experience for my wife and I.

Our waitress pointed out "favorites" to help decide. The food was REAL Italian, fresh and perfectly delicious!

Food was very good & a decent Moscato. I even have enough for tomorrow.

Awesome chicken Parm! Great marina sauce, tender chicken, lots of cheese and big portion. If I lived here it would be my go to!!

Just flew in from nyc.... Headed straight to OLIVE COVE RESTAURANTE. LOVELY PEOPLE AND STAFF. TERRIFIC FOOD!!!!!

Went here for the first time. It was pretty good. I wish they brought out more bread, though. The seats were comfortable with little pillows. The restaurant was really interesting looking and they played some interesting music :)

Love this place. I wish I could make it here more often.

Delicious lasagna with tasty Sangria for the WIN!

The food is always fresh, hot and delicious! The complimentary bread is hot, fresh out of the oven. It’s clean and service is friendly!

Nicole was so attentive. Nice to have something close to home. The sangria and mozzarella sticks were amazing!

I had the lasagna, it was great! My daughter had the spaghetti, it looked good and was a large portion!

Food was delicious and the atmosphere amazing!! Always always recommend!

Must be family members giving the high ratings because the food was below average and the same with the service .

Great food, easy location, relaxed atmosphere. We had the chik parm and linguine with shrimp (and added the mushrooms)... delicious!!!

Amazing Italian food! 10 times better than Olive Garden. Meals are cooked fresh to order. The bread is freshly made. The tomato sauce is homemade. They give big portions so to-go boxes are a must! The decor is warm, cozy, and inviting. Family friendly environment. This is our new official Italian restaurant! If you want authentic, fresh, comforting Italian food this is the place to go!! I come to this place time and time again for the best Italian food. Highly recommend!

Great Italian restaurant! We had a large pizza & it was delicious & plentiful. We've been here before and had their manicotti and spaghetti, both of which were so good. The wait staff are polite & personable and the service was fast. **UPDATED** Aug 2024: We are locals & used to come here often but after they changed their menu & took out their pizza oven, everything changed. The food is still good but the prices have increased with no side included except bread. And the worst part is the service. Apparently they can't find polite and welcoming waiters. Ours had an attitude problem. Perhaps he got up on the wrong side of the bed. More than once.

Delicious food and amazing service! Lasagna was the best I've had in a long time, and the special (2nd) pic was delicious with the lemon zest white wine sauce. Amazing place!

We ate at Olive Cove as a family and everyone tried something different! I chose the Chicken Caprino and it was excellent! The atmosphere was casual and felt warm like a family kitchen. They also served complimentary warm bread and butter. The butter had so much flavor! We loved our meal and would definitely come back.

First time here!!! Food was great!!! But my blackened chicken was a bit over seasoned, took a lil bit to mix it all in the alfredo sauce. Shrimp was cooked to perfection. Nice quiet spot!

Our absolute favorite place to eat. We go for every anniversary, birthday, holiday and any other excuse to go we can think of. The tortellini and blackened chicken is phenomenal. If you’re thinking about it, just go ahead and go!

Served us late and let us stay after hours, 5 stars and their marsala was excellent!

Dined in on July 20th and Olive Cove never disappoints! We’re in town visiting family and dinner at Olive Cove is a tradition. We love the atmosphere and exceptional service. And of course, the food is AMAZING! We’ ll be back for sure on our next visit to Fernandina!

Loved our chicken parmigiana and spaghetti with sausage! Never had a bad meal here!

Trying new places on date nights is our fave. This place was recommended to me twice and my mom has already added it to her rotation and girllll I was not disappointed. The only downside was uncomfy seats but they do have little seat cushions just not great ones. Other than that no complaints, food was fantastic, service was awesome we had a gentleman who joked with us and was very helpful but never overbearing. Definitely adding to the date night rotation. Also, hands down the best tiramisu I’ve ever had.

Always amazing food. Fresh and big portions.

Delicious! We all had a great time with great food!

Delicious food, great waitress, and my 8 mo granddaughter LOVED the fettuccine!!

My family and I love this restaurant so much. The foods always cooked perfectly and is so delicious. They have gluten free pasta and non-dairy options. The service is amazing and everyone is so polite. The decor and ambience are beautiful. The food is very affordable for it honestly being near Michelin star quality. 💕

We brought our 8 month old and she was so excited to eat her fettuccine alfredo and allllll the bread. The kid’s portion was a huge size so we have more for her to enjoy at home. The adults cleaned their plates, too. Definitely a great family spot!

Came with my husband on a friday afternoon Service was spot on I ordered the Marsala with chicken & fresh mushrooms… it was delicious! My husband ordered the osso buso one of his favorites & it was excellent! Definitely a gem in Yulee!

All around phenomenal service and food.

Exquisite! Delicious! Magnificent! What a wonderful experience Olive Cove was! My entree was absolutely scrumptious and the appetizers were amazing! Will come again!

First time here Lasagna was great, salad was fresh best Caesar we’ve had in awhile. Will definitely eat here again.

Great food, attentive service. The staff and manager take pride in their work.

Amazing food and atmosphere! 1st time dining here and will most certainly come back very soon as.it will be one of our regulars!

Excellent service and excellent dish presentation!

This place has amazing food for great prices. We each ordered a different dish, and they were all amazing. 🤩 However, the spaghetti with meat sauce was the absolute best!

Food was mid, way too expensive for what the quality was. The service was ok at best. Do not waste your time here unless you want free dessert come here and leave a 5 star review and they’ll give you free dessert. 😂 DON’T BELIEVE THE RATING!!!

Great experience! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. The food was amazing and the service was even better! We'll definitely be back.

Hidden Gem! Our server Nicole was amazing! Food fantastic! Large servings! You don’t want to miss this place!!!

Best little hidden gem! You must eat here! The owner & staff are amazing and go above and beyond! Been here many times and has quickly became our favorite Italian spot! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!!

Staff was very courteous. Wait for food was minimal. Food was amazing and owner came to check on every table while we were there.

Amazing food with extremely tentative service!

At Olive cove you are treated like family! The food is amazing and the service is even better. The bread is so addicting that you could eat that all day long!

Took my 91 year old Dad here for lasagna. He's from NY and Italian heritage. Oh my, fabulous! Others had chicken parm, tricolor tortellini with shrimp, and linguini with sausage. All fabulous, and the bread with garlic butter, yum! Our server, Jalynn, was terrific. Always there checking in with us and taking care of us. She even took pictures for us. Made my dad's father's day perfect. We'll be back for sure and letting our friends know.

Very friendly server, Jalynn was amazing. We all had great food; the tortellini in cream sauce with shrimp was amazing. The house bread and the garlic butter is great, definitely recommend.

What an amazing, quaint, and well cared for spot to get some delicious Italian food! Will return!

The lasagna was the best we’ve had in years! The tricolor tortilleni was great! Loved the cream sauce. Service was excellent!! We will be back for sure.

I was trying to place a to go order and the manager was extremely rude to me. I was asking menu questions and he deliberately hung up on me not once, but twice. Not sure how this place is still in business with the repeated instances of terrible customer service. We won’t be giving them our business anymore.

It’s a quiet little corner to have dinner or lunch. Good atmosphere, service and I personally like the calamari and the blackened shrimp Alfredo.

The food was amazing. The service was excellent.

Delicious food. Wonderful service. And the music is perfect.

Don't let the zip code fool you, Olive Cove is not only 100% legit, the lasagna is a religious experience. Nobody comes here just once.

The music is relaxing, the staff are cordial, and the food is delicious!

Nice service and excellent food, very flavorful and generous portions for dinner. I had the Linguini Marsala with chicken and it was excellent. There is ample parking, it's cozy and quiet. Oh, their cheese bread and red sangria are great as well. I highly recommend it for families or adult parties alike.

I eat here often and it never disappoints.

Alfredo was delicious 😋 Great service and nice environment

We’ve eaten at the restaurant and had delicious meals. Tonight for the first time we had takeout. Lasagna. It was the most delicious lasagna I’ve ever had in my life! The marinara sauce was made with fresh tomatoes. The portion was large enough for two of us to split. I’m so glad we have such a great restaurant in our neighborhood!!

The service and the food is amazing. The Alfredo is light and creamy, perfectly cooked. The calamari is light fried and excellent. The menu offers enough selections to find the perfect selection.

We ordered two lasagna meals tonight to go. My boyfriend put them in the front seat of his truck and drove them home. As soon as he got home and started inside, the bottom of the bag gave way and both meals hit the pavement. Both containers of lasagna hit the ground. I called and spoke to a manager by the name of Zack. I wanted him to know that either someone had set the bag in something wet or maybe he had a stash of bags that wasn't any good. He was rude and condescending, and even went as far as to tell me that it was my fault that I lost my $44 dinner. It is now sitting in the parking lot at my apartment. Thanks to the way this manager handled the situation. I will never go back to this restaurant again.

The owner (Zach) of this restaurant is one of the most unprofessional biz owner I’ve seen in a while. If you have any issues with his food, staff or restaurant under no circumstances, should you share with him he is defensive and arrogant.

Terrible customer service and mediocre food. Zach the “manager” not a very nice guy. Won’t be coming back. Also, extremely overpriced

Wonderful and quaint. Kind server.

I ate the Blackened Chicken Alfredo and it was the best I've ever had, hands down. Chicken cooked to perfection and had just the right seasoning.

We came for an early Mother’s Day dinner. The food and service is fantastic. Family friendly, I would recommend this place to anyone.

The food is absolutely AMAZING Chicken Caprino and Alfredo Ravioli

The food is incredibly fresh, the ambiance is excellent, and let me tell you, Zackary went above and beyond to take care of us. I strongly recommend giving it a try!

Only gripe is how close everyone has to sit. Everything else was amazing.

When you look at this restaurant on line they serve a salad and bread with dinner.. when you get there. They say no salad 💁🏼. The water is supposed to be filtered 🥲it’s not!! Foul tasting..there were 6 of us so the waitress said automatic tipping..then went on to add 25% ..food was good.. finally don’t drink the water or wait for your salad ☹️

We Love Olive Cove because they have the best Chicken Parmesan!! We will return again and again!

FYI I have not eaten here and the food does look great. However we were about to go there tomorrow with a larger group 10-12 people and we were told that we would be charged 25% more per person for food due to the size. Any group over 6 gets charged 25% more is what was told to us. Also they said that we could not be guaranteed a table after 5???? Now this is a secondhand information I was not the one who spoke to them but this seems completely absurd to charge 25% more per person just because of group size. I can understand if it was a flat fee charge of 18% for tip but that was not the case. So yes their food does look amazing but no I can't justify spending that much more money. They missed out on a few hundred$$$ because of craziness. So call ahead and know what you might get into if you go with a group. 😞

We were staying at a hotel nearby and my family loves Italian and we like to support local businesses when we can. After reading the reviews I ordered take-out for everyone and we were so happy we did. I had the tr-colored Tortellini and they were some of the best I have ever had! We ordered mozzarella sticks which were great, fettuccini Alfredo and kids ravioli all of them did not disappoint. We ordered dessert for later since we are so full, but they look beyond great!

We frequently take friends here as the food and service are excellent and reasonably priced. Fantastic Italian dining!

Delicious Osso Buck and cacciatore. Great service fromfriendly staff and nice background music. Fine evening.

Always delighted to dine here. The staff is always pleasant and the cuisine is always delightful. Highly recommend!

Bread with garlic butter automatic to the table. Then the sauce was delightful. 5/5

Everytime I've ordered from them it's been delicious! I've only done pick up orders but it's been on time hot and the employees that I've encountered while there are curtious and call you by name when you come up to the desk!I recommend them 100% I hope that I will eventually get to dine in sometime and get the great dining experience!!Thanks for a very enjoyable meal!!

Great food and great service highly recommended!!

Calm attmosphere, wonderful service, dine in Lunch with friends. Great at accomadating to my diet.

Their signature dish with chicken and creamy lemon sauce is tha bomb!

Delicious lunch, great service. The atmosphere is calm with good music for a meal with friends.

Lasagna was awesome, and service impeccable, though the restaurant was not crowded. It was nice to have big band music but I wish they had Italian music of any style; would have made it perfect.

I go to the Olive Cove almost weekly. The food is superb, the staff friendly and the atmosphere warm and inviting. I particularly like the fact that it's not a big chain restaurant. If you like Italian cuisine, the Olive Cove restaurant is the go to place.

Have 2 visits over past 5 months. Food & service was very good both times. The music was very pleasant

Love the Atmosphere, especially the music with throwback era of the Rat Pack. My all time go to for Italian food is Chicken Parmesan. Did not disappoint. Exactly like my hometown of Boston’s North End. Super fresh food and delicious. For dessert, the cannoli was outstanding. Love it when they get it right!!!!

Great service, good was fantastic! 10/10!

Food is amazing! Wonderful experience!

Very nice people, very welcoming

The food is always delicious and the staff are warm and inviting. Definitely our favorite Italian restaurant in Yulee.

Great restaurant! Ordered salmon and fettuchini Alfredo and it was excellent. Definitely will recommend at our hotel!

If you are looking at their website be careful. You’ll see pizza , calzone, stromboli, veal parm. You think this is a great place. They don’t my make these anymore.

Absolutely delicious meal and fantastic service as always. Olive Cove is every bit the high end bite without the high end price. Highly recommend for a night out, a family dinner, or just because.

Food was delicious. Our 1st time here. Service was slow so be patient.

We love this restaurant, and we frequent this location because it is absolutely delicious. We love the intimate setting and the service is awesome. Don't have time to dine-in? No problem, their to-go is.jusy as excellent!
