The Scene
Located across the street from the Capitol Theatre, Olivio's enjoys a steady stream of dinner-and-a-movie customers, especially on weekends (when reservations are essential). At times, the simple dining room's noise level thwarts all attempts at intimate conversation. When the weather's agreeable, front windows open up to create an airy, almost al fresco setting. Service is attentive, especially when your pasta dish is in need of some freshly grated Parmesan.

The Food
Olivio's simple, rustic flavors won't make anyone forget the North End's Italian heavyweights, though there are several pleasing dishes on the multi-regional menu. An entrée of roasted pork loin, served with flavorful, homemade black pepper fettuccine, is imminently satisfying (and quite large enough for two). Avoid the homemade artichoke and Fontina ravioli, which require a flavor boost that the butter and sage coating fails to provide. Homemade cannolis and tiramisu are fresh and creamy, if slightly overpriced.
