Olive & Ivy

Olive and Ivy is a true culinary delight that offers an impeccable blend of atmosphere, service, and exquisite cuisine. The service is attentive and knowledgeable, guiding diners through the menu with enthusiasm.Now, onto the food. The Black Truffle Arancini is a must-try. The crispy exterior gives way to a creamy, truffle-infused risotto center that is simply divine. A perfect balance of flavors and textures. The sweet potato cannelloni is another standout dish. The sweet potato filling is rich and satisfying, while the pasta shell is cooked to perfection.

We went to Olive and Ivy for our nicer bachelorette dinner. We did have reservations - but still asked many of our local Uber drivers for their opinions. They all raved about this place, which made us very excited to try it! This was by far our favorite meal in Scottsdale. The service was fantastic. They sat us in a room that felt very intimate and cozy making our girl dinner feel like it was just us in the whole restaurant. They also treated our bride to dessert and a card which is SO kind. I love when restaurants do little things like this to make their guests feel special. It provides unforgettable memories, and left our bride feeling very special. Oh I forgot to mention the food - which was incredible (especially for the price!!!). We really enjoyed our experience here. Definitely recommend!!

I highly recommend this place. 5 of us and we tried different dishes mainly vegetarian though. The cocktails were great as well.Inside we didn't get a chance because of 40-60 minutes of wait time so we opted for outdoor seating even if it was a little warm.So make sure you reserve ahead of time.Plenty of room for the people and many food options to choose from. Dress well though, you're in Old Town Scottsdale.

Eating at Olive and Ivy is a no-brainer. The food is delicious, the menu is diverse, and the atmosphere is perfect for an intimate night or a group of friends, The service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. I'll definitely be coming back!

10/10...no complaints. Food and service were both great and I absolutely loved the atmosphere of the lights and decor. My favorite touch is the complementary bread and pesto. It was perfect because I'm always so hungry when I get to a restaurant. Everything tasted fresh and was seasoned well.

Olive and Ivy is such a great place to get cocktails with the girls or go on a dreamy dinner date. I loved the appetizers--I got the grilled artichoke hearts sans dairy (although a little too lemony) and the hummus and flatbread minus dairy. I could eat multiple plates of it for days.It was tricky for finding a more reasonably priced entree since a lot of the flatbreads and bruschetta had dairy all over it. I ended up getting the margarita flatbread with no dairy so it was just bread (which was tasty) and sauce. The waiter also didn't quite understand the dairy allergy but was super kind about it. The drinks at Olive and Ivy are some of my favorites due to how creative they are. I got a passion fruit mocktail this time and absolutely loved the flavors, presentation, and how summery it was. The sparkling Rose Paloma was also an absolute delight and could have had multiples of that.Overall delicious and 4 stars for those without allergies. For those with dairy allergies, however, I'd stick to apps and drinks only. [my allergies never factor into the overall rating of the restaurant. I just make notes for others who may also be dairy-free and bring awareness]

Okay. 10/10 overall.We had reservations at 2 and we sat around 2:10pm. This place is very spacious and beautiful. Ambiance and decorI parked right outside the market area so when I walked in I was confused, but went passed the bar and there was the front entrance.Food and beverages: always order the mule and the mussels and I promise you. You won't regret it. Ceaser salad with salmon was very good. Sometimes salad can be dry, but this was flavorful and saucy which helped

Took my husband's parents here while they are visiting for the holiday weekend. We got reservations for 5:15 and got seated out on the patio by the water. It was beautiful and nice in the shade of the building with the misters keeping it cool too.Hubby's mom got the watermelon spritz and she really enjoyed it saying it was light and refreshing and not too strong. She ordered the beet salad and the artichoke hearts (without the chili flakes), the guys both got the veal & spinach ravioli, and I got the Mediterranean salad.The beet salad was light yet filling, and the flavors complimented each other with the bitterness of the arugula, the saltiness of the cheese, and the sweetness of the beets. The artichoke hearts were a hit with the 24hr marinating and the flavors of the remoulade, arugula, and cheese.The guys really enjoyed the ravioli. The pockets were filled with veal so you got a decent amount in each bite. The Med salad was filling and delicious. The couscous pearls and toasted almonds added a nice texture and flavor profile to the greens, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The zesty & aromatic oregano vinaigrette brought it all together.Hubby ordered the Spanish Creme Brulee and his mom ordered the butterscotch cake.Our server did a great job describing the dishes and desserts and was patient as we tried to decide what to order. She was friendly and kept our waters full and table bussed.

I planned my bestie's bachelorette in Scottsdale and dinner at Olive & Ivy was one of everyone's favorite meals of the trip! It was super easy to call and make a reservation for 10 girls on a Saturday night. It was nice that, unlike some other Scottsdale restaurants, there was no food & bev minimum to hit since our party was so large.We ordered a bunch of items to share, and loved all of them! This was a perfect order for us because we had minimal leftovers too. :)- 2 black truffle arancini- 2 crispy brussel sprouts- 2 beet salads- pesto chicken flatbread- white truffle prosciutto flatbread- 2 Japanese sweet potato- 2 rock shrimp tagliatelle- 2 sea scallopsMost of us also had two rounds of drinks as well and the final dinner price was suuuper reasonable, I believe around $65 per person! Would love to come back if i'm ever in Scottsdale!
