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.

    We were a group of women at our monthly ladies night. Our server was exceptionally nice and attentive. It was hard to carry a conversation across the table Due to the terrible noise but we still had a wonderful time. Food was great. Drinks were wonderful and overall a very fun night.

    Food was overall salty and the skirt steak had a burnt taste that was beyond anything I’ve had before. Garlic shrimp and calamari were okay.

    Food is amazing. While the waitstaff is friendly, professional and accommodating it took a long time to get our food. And there was a lot of time (too much) in between apps and meal.

    Excellent service, good food, and a lively atmosphere. The only drawback would be that the entrees we ordered were expensive for the quantity (Small size striped bass with nothing more than squash puree & seafood paella- loaded with mussels rather than scallops, clams, and shrimp). If we decided to return, we would definitely recommend sticking with the tapas menu.

    I really wanted to give a higher score but can’t. Meatball app was tasty but too dense. My entree was Salmon. Prepared top notch. My wife ordered paella. In a “Spanish-ish” restaurant. It arrived a solid 15 minutes after my salmon. Completely unacceptable! No visit from the manager. No explanation. Nothing. Ruined a very good meal/experience.
