Excellent service, the staff is friendly especially Brenda at the bar. She is very kind, patient, and makes great drinks especially specialty drinks. Since I’m not a big drinker, I have a hard time finding something to enjoy, but Brenda is good at understanding what works for you when you explain your tastes. She figures it out even if she has to create something unique for you.
As for the food, overall it is good. The rice used for the paellas and similar dishes though seems to be premade which takes away from authentic flavors. Otherwise, everything is very good. I recommend. It’s best to make reservations or go early. Very busy place

It was my first time there. We were a party of 4; 2 adults and 2 children under 10 years old. We ordered the Polpetti, Iberian Octopus, Bacalao Croquettes and Grilled Skirt Steak. The Skirt Steak entree was HUGE, perfectly cooked and delicious. The tapas items were all very delicious as well. My favorite of the 3 was the Iberian Octopus.
Our waitress, Michelle, was wonderful and very attentive.
I HIGHLY recommend Olar Noso!

HOSPITALITY, CONSISTENCY AND GREAT TASTES the Hallmark Trio of a superb restaurant., I have been a loyal and loving guest of Olar, since it opened in this new location. Matt, and his staff definitely have their finger on the pulse of great taste and fun time.
The unique choices of Basque and Italian inspired dishes is truly an astonishing breakaway from the repetitious, boring menus at other establishments strewn throughout Northeast Bergen County. Eating at Olar is a culinary adventure for your tongue. Each and every menu choice is distinctly different in unusual and explosive taste sensation. The plating is alluring to the point of staring at it for a second or two before you desecrate it and leave the plate clean.
I ordered the Oxtail empanadas with golden raisins inside for an appetizer. The 2 accompanying dipping sauces were sublime and you found yourself momentarily deliberating on which one to choose, due to the varied complexity of each. My wife ordered the mussels with chorizo in a broth that was so flavorful that the remaining HAD to be consumed like soup after the mussels were finished. My entree was a Duroc(a fabulous breed of pork) double thick pork chop with peppers and the most ethereal potatoes I have seen in a very long time. The portion was huge and for this gourmet glutton I was completely satiated in taste and abundance. My wife ordered a roasted chicken that had a deep amber tinted charred skin. Her only comment was it should have been plated rather than a large bowl.
We were so stuffed but to end the meal of this goodness what other than house made Ricotta Cheesecake with fruit compote.
I love coming here for the culinary experience, even the reservation making is guest cooperative and pleasing.
This restaurant is by far and away the most “Pallatable” place in Bergen County.

My peers and I frequent this establishment every few months when we want to treat ourselves. This place offers a variety from tapas, to pizzas. Normally, our first order is the spanish fries; those are amazing and they always give a healthy amount. They also have a larger option for the Spanish fries, but both come with a ton and I always have enough to take home. My usual order would be one of their wood fire pizzas which never disappoints. My family usually gets the garlic shrimp appetizer which I have mixed feelings about. The flavor is nice, but it comes with the tail on which I am not a fan of. The food always looks quite nice as well which is important because we eat with our eyes first. I have had their pastas, and even some rabbit as I have tried a lot of the options here. Overall, this is a very nice treat yourself spot. The oxtail pasta I had a few visits ago was delicious, and actually my first time having oxtail. What I love about the pizzas is that every bit of it is delicious, even the crust. There are some Pizzas where the crusts are the afterthought, but every single bit of that pizza will be gone when I am eating. Their smoked mozzarella pie is my favorite because it comes with pesto (I prefer this to tomato sauce I know I am weird), and sausage. The dough is light and fluffy which is right up my alley. I am not a fan of thin crust and too much crisp, and every bit of this pizza was devour worthy. I would get this same pizza every time I go there, it is that good. My only complaint here would be that there are no free soda refills. That does affect the experience because I do not want to pay for another soda, so I ration it throughout the meal. The experience would be better if they had free refills, but I am still happy overall with my experiences which is why I keep coming back! The staff is always very nice and the service is exceptional; once in a while we have to call them over, but it is a popular spot and they are constantly busy. I also really like that this is a casual spot; I have come dressed in shorts before which is refreshing especially to someone who is tired of dressing up a lot. I would definitely give this place a shot since they have something for almost anyone. If you are not that hungry, their small plates are quite good and they have large portions as well!

Arrived with my friend at 5:15 and was told no tables for 2 but we could wait at the bar.. we had a drink and 45 minutes later after standing next to 2 empty 4 tops by the bar and at least 25% of restaurant still empty we left .. I let the maître d’ know and she seemed disinterested.. the food is great when I’ve eaten here but after this experience I will chose other quality restaurants in the area..

We could not be happier with how our evening turned out at Olar Noso.
A pretty place located right off of Tappan road, there’s ample parking and not a long wait time around 20:00 to be comfortably seated. The restaurant is spacious, lively but not noisy, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Liv, our server, was on point with giving explanations and suggestions on the entrees. We absolutely loved the Salad: I think it consisted of: shredded ricotta salata, pear, pomegranate, arugula, walnuts, and farro (wheat berries), yum, a perfect symphony of flavors which has become one of my favorite dishes. The three of us ordered to share, we commenced with the Gnocchetti “Little pillows” of goat cheese and ricotta with hand-crushed organic tomato, caramelized eggplant, basil, ricotta salata, we found it to be a perfect combination of flavors with every bite. Next were the pizzas; Soppressata pizza topped with
tomato, mozzarella, Soppressata, chili oil and honey (the added honey complimented the chili oil). Next, I was outvoted to try the pistachio pizza.. I’ve never had this in my life and asked Liv (as a fellow foodie) for guidance… with mixed reviews, it was decidedly my least favorite, however, it would be interesting to try it with pistachio nuts in a 60/40 blend (in a Vitamix) with ricotta as a spreadable topping (similar to the way a Nutella pizza is prepared).
The food was amazing, you can tell their heart is in courtship with creativity by their constant pursuit to invent new and well balanced entrees (with lots to choose from).
It’s great to see the way the restaurant blends locally sourced and seasonal ingredients into new creations bringing the farm to table experience for their patrons to enjoy. I would absolutely recommend this place and look forward to visiting again.

First time at this establishment and we will be back to try everything on the menu! So many tapas, pizzas, pastas and delicious dishes to share! Had the roasted beet salad, Spanish fries, pasta and octopus. No room for dessert but they looked amazing. Great service and beautiful interior.

I recently held a private event at Olar. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the atmosphere engaging and the service was the best. A shout out to Katie Rodriguez (event planner) for everything she did. I could not have done this without her. I am not exaggerating when I say all the guests commented on her impeccable and friendly service. I highly recommend Olar and Katie, specifically, to plan an event.

Great atmosphere it was really fun!
Skirt steak was a little bit too well done (we asked for medium) but other than that – it was all good
