Cafe Oliviero

I visited this cafe the first time I was in NY, all of the sandwiches stacked high in the cases was mesmerizing. I was trying to search on a map the name as I knew I was next to Central Park when I stopped in. I finally found a photo I took, I’m so glad they had their name on the sandwich tags!! We are coming back this September and am looking forward to bringing the family, hoping they will be open by then as Google states it is temporarily closed. :0(

My friend and I stopped in for a late lunch, before we went back to the Sheraton Times Square for FlameCon2019. By the time we arrived, the griddle was unavailable; it looked like it was being cleaned, probably in preparation for the dinner crowd. However, the sandwiches my friend and I ordered could be toasted, which made us very happy. The customer service was very good. I did not see if there was a bathroom. Also, as delicious as the food was, I found it a bit pricey, however, in this area of Manhattan, a lot of eateries are pricey, but I digress.

Ordered four items off of the menu including a bagel with peanut butter, a pastrami, and milkshake (and a coffee, they had this! Remarkable!) only to get a call 25 minutes later that they had literally none of my order available. If you can’t keep your business operational past 10pm, don’t. Thanks for wasting my time and money. This is why everyone knows midtown establishments are absolute garbage.

This place is my number one site. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this place. everytime I feel like having a superb meal, this is the place that comes straight to my mind. excellent and many types of food and a rich menu.courteous crew, and agreeable mood. Also important, the price is fair. I praise this place with no hesitation.

We were just in the city for 2 days (May 2015) for a concert. This place was just around the corner from our hotel & was recommended by the hotel staff. We went for breakfast. GREAT place! Fresh fruit bar and hot food bar too. PLENTY to choose from. Plus they make foods fresh: omelets, sandwiches, wraps etc. Had the California wrap with a side of redskins potatoes and some fresh fruit. The wrap was VERY filling and wonderful taste... I ended up taking the fruit with me because the wrap & potatoes were filling. Later in the day the fruit (late morning snack) was delicious... very juicy, perfectly ripe and "just right" sweetness YUM I highly recommend this spot ... oh yeah and the price wasn't bad either ... especially for NYC! The wait staff was typical New Yorkers ... not overly friendly but got the job done! Will definitely go back here again when in the city.
