Visited the Black Olive Italian Grill the other night. It's located in a shared restaurant space with El Nopal. You enter both restaurants from the same front door. It's a little hard to find until you see the sign on the front door. It's an Italian restaurant right next to a Mexican restaurant. On special the other night were margaritas for $6.99. I ordered one on the rocks, it was a typical margarita - nothing special but a good price for the large size. The service was a little slow but we weren't in a hurry. Before we ordered they brought garlic bread for the table. The menu has Italian dishes ranging from $10-40. I ordered the cheese lovers calzone, which was pretty good for the price $10.99. Nothing super notable about the food but the crust was nicely cooked and puffy. Also, it was a good portion size and I was able to bring home leftovers. The tables are mostly booths and it was sticky in the restaurant - we were sat by the door but it never really cooled down in temperature once we were sat. Other folks ordered the chicken Marsala, gluten free pasta, wings and lasagna. Food was okay, but probably won't be back.

This place has absolutely awful food. Even though it's Italian and Mexican food together in the same restaurant you have to order from opposite sides. But the employees and kitchen appear to be the same people. Weird. They have no idea what lemon piccata chicken actually is. It was served with dry, tough chicken and marinara sauce. I asked if they could make lemon piccata so the waiter who acted like he spoke little English said he would fix it. He returned with the same piece of dry, tough chicken that had been rinsed off with less marinara sauce. No thank you. And they really, really like putting capers on everything. Just awful. The meat calzone was ok. When the check came it had different prices than what's on the menu. They also advertised a beer special but the check didn't reflect that. We had to ask them to correct every single aspect of this dining experience. The place is so bright it's like eating at a cafeteria. Just go somewhere else. This place isn't worth it. I don't care if your hotel is in the parking lot.

The worst food I've ever had. We did takeout and they forgot the dressing for the side salad and there was about a half cup of water in the salad. The chicken in the tour of Italy was inedible, it was rubbery and hard. The lasagna was undercooked. The Alfredo sauce was super thin. The sauce in the pepper pasta was thin and overly oily. The white chocolate raspberry cheesecake is terrible, the raspberry sauce tastes like maybe a drink syrup? I ordered online and when I tried to get help it said to call the store, and when I called they said they couldn't help because the online order was through a DoorDash company. I did not order through DoorDash, nor could I get help online. The majority of the food was thrown away and I'll be contacting my bank for a refund. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

Ordered veal Pisccata thru DoorDash. NO spaghetti SAUCE. Arrived with NO spaghetti and two tiny pieces of veal. Horrible. Doordash would only refund $5.56. Not worth my hard earned money, time or appetite. Unacceptable.

I feel like 2 stars is actually generous. The restaurant was clean but that's mostly where the positives end. Everything we ordered was nearly inedible. Most of the food tasted like it was made from something frozen or had been reheated more than once. Things were mushy and watery and bland. Louisville has some great Italian restaurants but this isn't one of them. It doesn't even come close to

This is located in a shaded location with El nopal. It's the Old cardinal cafe. The food is very good. Daily lunch specials with reasonable prices and the entree size is very big. The service was friendly and fast. That bread is amazing! I ordered the sub supremo, huge sandwich only ate half of it. My mom had the baked roti she ate about 1/3 and had plenty to take home. Lots of options,Will be back to try other dishes.

I'm ashamed how fast I eat the seafood Alfredo. This is my second time doordashing this restaurant and it's so good! My little man loves the pizza.

1.5 stars rounded up. Fast Italian is the best way to describe this restaurant. The concept of 2 different restaurants and cuisines in one building was a bit much for me. When you walk in, they ask which restaurant you are there for and then seat you appropriately. We were there for Black Olive. We wanted to order a bottle of wine and was seeking clarification on if the Chardonnay was oaked or unoaked. Our server made the effort to ask other people but no one seemed to know. Our server also didn't know if a Riesling was a red or white. Not a huge deal but I feel like this is something a server should be trained on. The meal started with a basket of bread. It was kind of bland and lacked much flavor. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo. Once again, it came out hot but lacked any actual flavor. There was also way too much sauce. We were sat at 6pm and by 6:50, we had been given our checks. We ended up leaving and going elsewhere because we felt like we were being rushed out. We had maybe taken 3-4 bites of food when our server dropped off our checks. Overall, none of us really enjoyed the food and the service was really lacking. None of us plan on going back.

The food ordered was wrong and when corrected it tasted horrible. What Italian restaurant does know to drain the noodle water before ladling on sauce. However the salad was good. I will never return.
