Off menu I had the spaghetti aglio olio, and some of the fiorentina steak and cotoletta Milanese and all were phenomenal! Traditional Italian fare that is top quality, you can't go wrong!

An incredible meal for our 20th Anniversary - Thank you Oloroso! The table was perfect, towards the back against the side wall. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Food, was way beyond expectation. Each selection was nicely sized, and seasoned perfectly. We highly recommend the "Charcutería y Queso" - some lovely selections. And then, the real star of the night, "Grilled Octopus- Muhammara, Fennel, Black Olives, Mombasa". Tender and delicious. We will, absolutely, be back for more, and we will bring many friends to share in the evening.

I've come here 5 times now and am always ordering new dishes to try. This past time I went exactly at 4:30pm when they opened, the waitress is energetic, knowledgeable, and works pretty much every time I go. We are typically seated in the same spot. The place is pretty dim, I wish there was maybe more light at the table. Parking is, as usual, difficult for the area. Short Rib: Mixed feelings about this. The short rib itself is a WOW for texture just melted, the sauce is a red wine reduction, which was disgusting, with how pungent it was. Portions were atrocious for $22. Ribeye $55/per person: Took about 45 minutes to cook, came out with rosemary. The flavor was great, but unfortunately the cook is Medium to Rare and completely forgot to tell them Medium-Well. The waitress didn't ask us either. I think this was an oversight of hers or maybe a bias, but I definitely wanted to puke when I saw bloodiness. The Ribeye was salted well, and had good flavor even the day after as leftovers, but I had to reheat it much longer than I thought to just get it to medium-well. This ribeye is iffy, but I would try it again, asking for medium-well. It comes with 2 side dishes as well, which were appreciated. (Roasted Shishito peppers, and some kind of mushroom dish possibly Setas - Roasted Oyster Mushrooms, Migas, Jerez Vinegar $12) Dessert - Left - Churro (crispy, fresh, long, sugary) Right - Soy, Nutty, Red Wine reduction ( looks like a flan honestly. She didn't have a name for this just told us ingredients that red thing was disgusting but the flan part was cold but good) Have ordered over and over again: - Patatas Bravas - Crispy Potatoes, Spicy Tomato Sauce, Manchego, Saffron Aioli, Fresnos $10 (consistently great) every time I eat it, it's always a "wow" for the first bite when I revisit. Would never order again: - Gambas al Ajillo - Shrimp, Chili Pepper, Lemon, Migas $16 Shrimp is essentially boiled and parsley is thrown over this. There's boiled lemon/shrimpy/ watery juice. I really wish they told us that this had parsley in it, because I detest, absolutely loathe parsley. The shrimp should be crispy and just in a sauce, this would make it so much better. Have given this dish 2 tries since I love, love shrimp, but will refuse to get it ever again. - Crispy Pork Belly - Plum, Turnip, Baby Mustard $14 Just gross tasting. Me and my friend agreed it was bad choice. Parking? Difficult, come early to find street metered parking. Food? Overall consistent, good. VERY EXPENSIVE for a small portions. Consistently spent $120 or more, with this recent time being $220ish. Waiter/Waitress? 7/10 knowledgeable, but sometimes the waiters/waitresses are forgetful, or ignore water completely for a while, even after we ask. Bathroom?Clean, neat, small sink. Would I come here again? Yes, hesitantly, and I have brought several people here as well to give them business. I just wish the dishes gave more for the price.

This was an outstanding finding. From drinks to the meals, every single dish was yet more amazing than the next. I haven't had so much great food in a while from a restaurant that produces nothing but the finest. Must try! Will go again
