My girlfriend and I went here for our 1 year anniversary dinner. The food was amazing, I had the Sicilian Trio and my girlfriend had the stuffed shells. Then deserts were also fantastic. Phil was a very good waiter as well, and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend coming here, but would encourage reservations as the wait can be quite long. Oliverios is a place I will definitely be going back to.

SUCH a good restaurant. First timer tonight & I’m glad we did. We waited to get on the waitlist online because it said there was no wait (Friday night/big mistake). So as we were parking in the garage ($1.50 for around 2 hours), I got on the waitlist & we were #2 in line. However parties of 2 kept being seated before our party of 3 which is understandable because they have a lot more bar seating available. Checked in at 6:50 & got a table by 7:20. They do multiple courses, so expect around 10 mins or so for each course. It was a nice atmosphere. Our server was Chris & they were absolutely outstanding!! Refilling our drinks AS the last bit was being drank, not kidding! The humor & recommendations were really appreciated. They were on point for sure! Even made an effort to speed things up when they noticed our 12y/o wasn’t feeling the best. I got the Diablo which was spectacular. The boys got seafood Alfredo. The salads were the least liked item we had. The crab dip was awesome as well. Talking it over on the way home, I’d probably want to try the stuffed banana peppers next but both boys said they’d get the seafood Alfredo again. We’ll be back for sure!! Worth the small wait we did have. Also, I’d love to have Chris again as our server. Made the evening that much better after a rough week!

I’m gonna start by saying I’m a college student and my boyfriend and I have a tight budget. This place was worth every cent. We were told the wait would be 1 hour 45 min. It turned out only to be 1 hour, and they sat us after the restaurant had officially closed, and treated us with upbeat and charismatic service. This place had Olive Garden prices, but it was dining at the ritz. I felt like it was a steal. The ambience is soft, clinking of drinks, warm, we ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, perfect, we both cleaned our plates, and the salad bowl, and our bread basket. We ordered the cheesecake for desert and it’s the best I’ve had since I can remember. Closed out the night with both of us eating 3 courses for only $44 combined. Couldn’t be happier, will be returning monthly. I would recommend however, getting a reservation!

We were in town for a night and went for a walk on the walkway by the river. Stopped in here for dinner. Some of the seating has a view of the river which was nice. They have a full bar and a good selection of food. Our food was really good and our waiter was friendly and attentive. We had a good experience and will definitely be back if we’re in the area again.

The service was impeccable. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Went on a Friday evening without a reservation and the wait was minimal, only 15 minutes. The atmosphere was perfect for a date night or a quality family dinner. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is offered in the winter and it’s covered. I Was able to grab a seat at the bar while I waited. The bartender made me a Sidecar which was not in the cocktail menu but was still made well. I had the angel hair crab balls as an appetizer and it was interesting BUT delicious. The sauce paired with it was great. As an entree I had the Mediterranean. It was good but needed a bit more seasoning for my PERSONAL preference. I also had the Smoked old Fashion cocktail and that was incredible. The bread that comes with your meal is bland. It’s soft and fluffy but lacks flavor. It was still an enjoyable dinner and I would certainly go back to try it again and other menu items.

A beautiful Italian restaurant experience with a date or the family! The menu has a wide choice of dishes for different taste. I encourage you to try their seafood options. The bread is a great start the house salad is perfect. The staff does great with large groups and kids. Make reservations if you plan to dine after 6pm. The drink is fun and the bartenders are great mixologist. There is out door seating with view of the river and rail trail

What a fantastic experience. We had friends recommend the restaurant in Bridgeport, and after a long day of testing at the hospital, gps found the Morgantown location. We arrived just a few minutes before opening, but we're received gladly. We requested a seat on the patio in Journey's section, and had an amazing experience. We chose this restaurant because we saw veal on the menu and it certainly did not disappoint. The bread sticks were homemade with just the perfect texture, buttery soft with just the slightest crisp. The veal dishes were amazing. The location sits right on the river trail with amazing views of the Monongahela River. During dinner, hot air balloons began to fly over the river, a gentleman walked the trail with his pet pig, and we were graced with views of a little tug boat and the WVU rowing teams practicing. Journey kept the experience lively and made wonderful recommendations for future visits including nearby live music venues and more. He also made the perfect dessert recommendation. All around a wonderful evening after a stressful day. I recommend you ask to sit in Journey's section when you visit next. Oh, it opens at 4pm est. For dinner. Oh, their ranch and other dressings are also homemade from scratch. I hope you enjoy your visit. Beautiful and befitting music while we waited. Staff allowed me to exit patio covering to allow me to take photographs on the wharf as well. Would definitely return each time we visit the area, ask for Journey.Dietary restrictions: My diet allergies were accommodated easily and respectfully. Our waiter Journey was familiar with the ingredients at the table and did not need to explain or obtain info from the kitchen and seemed very pleased to accommodate my restrictions.Parking: Parking is near campus so is toll, but worth if for the experience. There is a parking garage just steps from the front of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a close parking garage, and lot handicap accessible parking across the street from the restaurant. If you are able I'd have someone drop you off in front of the restaurant, then park. The garage is more convenient as far as slope and the condition of the road and across the street parking lot. The indoor portion of the restaurant has a low grade ramp upon entering as well as many low accessible booths with ample space between for ambulation throughput the restaurant, patio included. I did some teaching regarding open flames on each table and outdoor firepits and my oxygen's flammability, and was quickly accommodated.

What a fantastic experience! My mom chose this place to take us to dinner, and it was wonderful! Great food, and at reasonable prices! Everything was delicious, and our waitress Paige was a cut above! Always kept our water full and made sure we wanted for nothing. I will absolutely tell people to visit here Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegetarian options!

The food and atmosphere at Oliverio's is amazing. Some of the best food in the area. Our service the recent time I was in was poor to say it best. Our waitress was less than attentive and made ot hard to get refills or drink orders or to even let her know we were ready for checks. Outside of that our food was excellent and delicious.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options available.Parking: The wharf offers a large parking garage for the needs when visiting but free parking is rare and limited to use after business hours at some spots that are hard to get as many of the employees at the nearby places will get them first thing when possible leaving few spots that would be free.Wheelchair accessibility: Ease of access and a ramp inside the building to the dining area.

I had my first anniversary here with my girlfriend in 2020, and now my engagement with her here at oliverios today. They gave us the same table we sat in, and the entire staff helped me coordinate the perfect evening for my fiancee. I dropped off the ring, flowers, and candles the day before and they turned it into a magical night that we won't forget. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is perfect for a romantic evening. Our server was so nice and bought our shots / dessert and another server took our pictures and recorded the proposal. She said yes and we won't forget it thanks to the Oliverios family!Vegetarian options: There are a wide variety of vegan and gluten free options.Parking: There are a number of spots available as well as a parking garage.Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps to accommodate handicapable people.

To start off Jannet is amazing. We had a party of 18 that slipped threw the cracks between day shift and night shift. This where running a little behind. Jannet was great with clearing the room as quick as possible and set up was just as fast. She knew the menu in and out. All of our food was delicious. The Bruschetta was the best I've had in awhile. The crab cakes look a little weird but they tasted great. With a party this big, I wad able yo try a few of the other dishes. The chicken alfrado is hands down the best dish. The chicken Marsala and the chicken diablo was good as well. Thanks again Jannet for all you did to make this wedding dinner great.

we made a reservation and when we arrived we were told there was a few minutes wait. we waited 30 min before i went up and asked how much longer and was then told we were next. about five minutes later a party was sat before us. waited 40 min to be seated idk what the point of a reservation was. and don’t tell us it’s a few minutes and have us wait for 40. not only that, but the hostesses were so rude they literally laughed at us when we asked how much longer it would be. our server was great though so props to him.

Absolutely wonderful experience! From the excellent staff and the quality of food, to the ambiance on the river, everything was beyond enjoyable. My husband had the seafood Alfredo and ranted and raved not only during the meal, but for several hours afterward that it was the BEST Alfredo he has ever had: savory, good portion of scallops that were much heartier than the server implied, with a bounty of sauce. My son had the shrimp cocktail for appetizer and the filet mignon for entree that was so delicious, my husband and I had a hard time not stealing bites. The icing on the cake was that the server overheard us tell our son to take the whole shrimp cocktail as it was his birthday, and they surprised him with an amazing birthday cannoli after the meal.We had a series of unfortunate events before arriving this evening, but dinner at Oliverio’s changed the course of events making everything come together in joy with a beautiful meal.Five stars and two thumbs up!! We will be back!!

This is an excellent Italian Restaurant. They have excellent food. We were a large dinner party, and they were able to accommodate all of us. You are able to make reservations in advance. Our server noticed my mom's birthday pin and brought her a special dessert. It is a great place for celebrations or just wanting a good Italian place to go. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Everything about this place was wonderful. We ordered angel hair crab balls, stuffed shrimps with risotto and chicken fettuccine Alfredo. They were so flavorful with the cheese. The sauce with angel hair crab balls was beyond amazing. Not to mention the "cherry on top" the tiramisu in the picture was yummy 😋. I had a great dinner experience at this place. Highly recommend 😊

This is a really good restaurant. The atmosphere is on point and somewhat rustic. The staff is friendly and Johnny on the spot. Now the food. I had shrimp cocktail for starters and it was beautiful. My salad had house dressing and that was fantastic as well. My ahi tuna was a little over cooked but seasoned well and the risotto was cooked almost perfect but not seasoned well at all. In all worth the money and when I'm back in Morgantown my wife and I will be back.

We had dinner Veteran's Day weekend, after a WVU immersion day for prospective students. We were seated on the deck overlooking the river. We had a fantastic waiter "J" who met all our needs and was super attentive. Food was excellent( we are from the Philly area so Italian food reigns supreme) with great portions, excellent bread, and nice salads. The desert board looked awesome, but we had to run to make the WVU basketball game. Bottom line, if you told me we where in a South Philly restaurant I would of believed you. Two thumbs up!

When we came to this restaurant, we were not sure what to expect. I personally have been to many Americanized Italian Restaurants and have an issue with finding Authentic Cuisine. We have never been here before as we are new to the area and wanted to go out for dinner for NYE 2023. Everything we drank and ate was truly divine. I had the Pomegranate Martini which was out of this world. I have never had an opinion about breadsticks and even they were beautiful. The Caeser Salad was made fresh and you could tell the cheese was also fresh and not frozen. We had the Calamari and I need to state something important. I have been to 47 states and 3 counties and they have thee absolute best Calamari that I have anywhere since 1999 in Santa Barbara CA. They don’t use cheap products like panko and they didnt overcook or undercook it. Everyone always wants to use too much oil and fake breading and over cook it but they didnt! We had the eggplant parmigiana which was absolutely divine and literally melted like butter to the touch and in my mouth. Now the Atmosphere was also gorgeous but what really made this night spectacular was our server Phil. He was intensive, polite and really went the extra mile. He even put my leftovers in the box for me. I am someone who really cares about and appreciates details and the little things. I have been to at least a hundred if not more food establishments and I have to say I have never had a server go to the lengths that he did. He deserves so much praise for his work ethic. I am truly impressed by him as well as our amazing bartenders and cooks that were on shift this evening. This experience has moved this restaurant into my Top 10 restaurant recommendations in the United States. Brava.

Traveling to see family and was recommended Oliverio’s Ristorante for dinner. What a local gem down by the river. Seating indoors and outdoors. The sounds of the river, birds, geese, and even a working train provided wonderful background soothing sounds. The Fettuccini Alfredo and bread sticks were great.

*Make a reservation.*This was a very pleasant experience (a little wait). The staff was very pleasant. The server was very polite and attentiveThe Calamari was very good. Crab dip is a good choice. The bread is not covered, so it gets cold and hard quickly. My Veal Parmagian was very good.Thank you for a wonderful night.
