Nice restaurant with prompt service and a calm ambiance. Most of the food we ordered was very well prepared, except for the Clam Chowder which was in dire need of salt. On the other hand, I would highly recommend both the Lobster Avocado Grilled Cheese and the Chicken and Goat Cheese Sandwich, which each had great texture and were bursting with deep flavor.

Never tried this place until recently I ordered the lamb burger and lobster bisque and this is one place I’ll definitely go again! great menu and awesome food. Not far from the hotel we stayed at and food was definitely delicious

Phenomenal seafood options. Was with a large group and everyone ordered something different. I don’t think there’s any wrong choice on the menu here. Crab cakes were particularly good. Service was friendly, accommodating, and relatively fast (considering the large group size). Upscale and modern interior. Fairly quiet during lunchtime on a Monday. Somewhat expensive, but well worth it. Would absolutely visit again.

There are lots of great restaurants in Groton-New London area but Olio’s is my favorite. It is my go-to restaurant for any occasion as well as take out. I might be accused of being bias but i literally have at least one lunch, one dinner, and one happy hour there every week. I have never had any bad meal there. You get plenty of food, gourmet cooking, a constantly changing specials menu that has unique and delicious options for new dishes, and excellent appetizers and signature cocktails. The service and staff there is exceptional especially Lisa behind the bar, Kim, Linda, Brandy, Stella, Adam, and the entire hostess staff. The picture below is the signature Field of Greens Salad with Blackened Salmon cooked to perfection and best in the area. Lastly, the desserts are equally delicious so be sure to same room. In my book this restaurant is the best for consistently excellent dining.

Excellent meal as always from Olio. Great menu options. Specials are always fresh and intriguing. Had the halibut special with French potato salad and yellow pepper sauce. Fish was well seasoned and flavorful. Only complaint would be that it may have been just a touch overcooked and thus a bit dry….this is preferable to underdone though….potato salad was refreshing on a hot day and the yellow pepper sauce was a nice compliment to both… My wife had the salad pizza which she said was excellent and enough for lunch the next day. For dessert we had the banana and chocolate ravioli with malted milk ball icecream….this was outstanding and more than enough to share….could easily have served 4 with it. Our waitress Stella and the entire wait team was attentive and courteous. We thank them for their work and efforts. Would definitely recommend for a nice evening out with friends or romantic dinner date.

A chic restaurant, it almost felt out of place when I went there. The food was excellent and the service was fast. Portions were larger than I expected due to the ambiance, but it was a nice surprise. Looking forward to trying their dinners.

Happened to be in the Groton area and stopped for lunch at Olio. Very nice outdoor patio with shade, lovely helpful staff and upscale, delicious appetizers. The calamari was light with great dipping sauces; the potato nachos were crunchy and flavorful. Highly recommend for an easygoing, enjoyable eatery.

Great food and amazingly large portions. We tried several different items and they were all delicious. It is a quite place with great service. Make sure to try the Bang Bang Shrimp. We told them to put the Korean Tempura Brussell Sprouts sauce on the shrimp. That would be an amazing appetizer. Thank you Danni for doing such a wonderful job.

The food was fantastic. I had veal and linguine with goat cheese balls as an appetizer. Entrée was very good but my wife and I found the goat cheese amazing. Place seemed to be trying too hard to be fancy and service could have been better.

I went here with a large group of my co-workers for dinner. We loved the drinks and the food was great. However, our server made it very clear to us that she wanted us to hurry up and leave stating, “We are going to be very busy tonight.” She even took a table away from us. We felt that we were not important to her and she was rushing us the entire time. We should not have been treated that way given how much money we spent and the large tip she received from us (it was built into the bill).
