• Mediterranean • Northvale

Booked 30 times today

From its humble beginnings in the quaint Hudson River town of Piermont, New York, Olar was known for serving up rustic Neapolitan pies, classic Spanish tapas, and hand crafted pastas that drew in both locals and foodies from all parts of New Jersey, upstate New York, and New York City and kept them coming back for over a decade.Now in its new location in Northvale, New Jersey, the restaurant, now known as Olar Noso - which means "our home" in Galego, the language spoken in Galicia where the Dominguez family is from - is an evolution in not only name alone.They have managed to scale the restaurant concept generously while replicating the quality and preserving the reputation the former Olar had garnered over the years. Evolving into Olar Noso meant giving Olar's loyal customers everything they loved, while also enhancing their experience with more seating, more elbow room, a full bar, a private event space, and, finally, ample parking.

Leblon was a terrific experience! The quality of the food was great and there was constantly meat sent around to each table. At the end, they even asked if there was a specific meat we wanted again and they brought that out. They put together a lovely dessert and sang for my girlfriend for her birthday. Only weird thing was that they didn’t have actual napkins. Just small almost cocktail size ones. Other than that, it was a wonderful meal!
