About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
From its humble beginnings in the quaint Hudson River town of Piermont, New York, Olar was known for serving up rustic Neapolitan pies, classic Spanish tapas, and hand crafted pastas that drew in both locals and foodies from all parts of New Jersey, upstate New York, and New York City and kept them coming back for over a decade.


Now in its new location in Northvale, New Jersey, the restaurant, now known as Olar Noso - which means "our home" in Galego, the language spoken in Galicia where the Dominguez family is from - is an evolution in not only name alone.
They have managed to scale the restaurant concept generously while replicating the quality and preserving the reputation the former Olar had garnered over the years. Evolving into Olar Noso meant giving Olar's loyal customers everything they loved, while also enhancing their experience with more seating, more elbow room, a full bar, a private event space, and, finally, ample parking.

    I grew up in the area, now live in Nyack, and I truly think it’s the best overall restaurant!! Everything is fantastic, and I mean everything - the quality of the food is the highest level and the quantity that they give you is also incredible. Service is wonderfully!It is run so well and everyone there is so nice, you feel like you’re really with family. Because it is so popular, and packed so often, it can get a little loud at peak hours, but that’s nit picking. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough!!!

    Always a great meal at Olar. Artichoke pizza, cod croquettes, fish special and paella were all excellent. Great cocktails and wines too.

    Once again, an incredible experience. Everyone’s food was fantastic. I tried the Chicken Parmesan special for the first time, and not only was it superb, it was like getting two meals in one. Olar Nosa continues to be the most reliable, consistent, # 1 restaurant in Rockland/Bergen County, in my opinion.
