Oliviana Bar Italiano & Pizzeria

I love this place. Waiter was a very nice guy. Food was good. Brought my bf here for his birthday, he didn’t really like his steak but I thought it was good. I also told him not to get steak from an Italian restaurant either but he didn’t listen of course. This is perfect place for somewhere dim and romantic. Also very elegant. 🥰

A beautiful upscale American-Italian vibe without the $$$. The bar area has diverse seating for couples or parties, there is indoor/outdoor seating options, and many cozy booths. Food is always tasty and they have a great happy hour throughput the week. Definitely recommend for a low key business lunch or a night out with someone special or even just celebrating yourself!

Dined here while visiting friends in Augusta. Service was slow, but the server was extremely polite. We came with a group, but weren't able to sit with them so we sat as a separate group of 5. Even though we were a group of 5, we were still charged an automatic gratuity. The server just continued to "insist" that we were paying as with the party group. The pizza 🍕 I ordered was very good.

DO NOT eat here. As a naive Augustan, I was embarrassed to bring my family here. I've never experienced such poor service where I could order 2 cocktails at two separate times, and finish them with ease before our food came out. We ordered our appetizers and entrees fairly quickly after being seated. We ordered the meatballs for an appetizer and it came out burnt. They mentioned they were bringing us another order, and we waited another good 20-25 min. Afterwards, our server would come by several times and ask us if we wanted anything else. Not, would you like another drink or I'm sorry your food isn't out yet. After those 2 times she straight ignored us each time she passed by our table. We had to call over the floor manager, who was the bar manager, and explained that we'd been waiting for about 1 hour for our food. He tried to give me the excuse that they were short staffed, but I could, and did, clearly see the kitchen staff taking their sweet time and cutting up. I mentioned it and that I finished 2 cocktails before our food, to which he retorted with well your food is out now. I checked the steak, which was ordered to be medium but came out medium well (see picture) and was luke warm at best. We immediately got boxes, paid and left. I attempted to try my food at home and had to quickly get some water as it was over salted (broccolini and steak). I tossed it out. If you have heart problems, this place could kill you.
