This place has consistently great food and service. Decor is very tasteful. Nice outside area. And a BYOB.

Absolutely delicious food. Vibrant energy in this place. Lots of people; popular place. The setting is casual but sophisticated. The manager went to every table to check in and he was genuinely interested in what you had to say. As I said, the food is delicious!!!!! Highly recommend the brick oven pizzas, their salads were incredibly fresh and large, the sandwich that my friend had was also tasty. High recommendation.

Alex the server was attentive and friendly. Service was fast from the moment we were seated.

WOW what a great restaurant in Kennett Square!! Probably one of my favorites (though I haven't explored the area yet too much). Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The inside of the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. I loved their decor and we got to sit at one of these huge tables in the middle of the restaurant and it had like these trees/branches coming out of it, very cool. Everything that we ordered was wonderfully cooked and tasted so yummy. Normally I would not have ordered or tried octopus but my friend's dad got it and told me to try it and oh my it was delicious. Very pleasantly surprised. This restaurant is on the pricier side, but with the quality of the food you're getting, it matches the price point. I would definitely love to come back here next time I have a gathering with family/friends out for a special occasion! 10/10 loved the vibes and everything.

What a wonderful restaurant, food was good and staff was fabulous. The chef even came out to Our table as well. Felt like I had walked into a family owned business. You can bring your own alcohol; which, is wonderful. Our table enjoyed various appetizers and all were good. The flat bread, calamari, bread w/olive oil. For dinner, I enjoyed the pasta with mushrooms. Top off with a chocolate cake that was shared. That melted in your mouth.

Went to Longwood gardens today in Kennett Square PA. Stopped here for lunch. I sure wish it were not 2 hours from home! The hostess ( who was one of the owners) was soooo nice! Greeted us with a Big smile & friendly hello! The food was delicious! We were brought a plate of crusty warm bread with seasoned olive oil & olives ! Just Wow! The waiter was friendly, professional & just looked like a nice young guy! My sister in law & I shared the mezze platter & I had to pack my mushroom melt to take home, & she packed 1/2 her Calabrian Sammie . LOL! The creamy hummus, tzatziki, stuffed grape leaves , roasted red peppers, mixed olives , feta cheese, toasted pita on the platter were all just scrumptious! Some of the best grape leaves I had in ages. I mixed a little tzatziki with a few of the olives , yummy! . My sister in law said her Sammie was just delish! It was breaded eggplant, mozzarella, red peppers, whipped ricotta. The fries were super good too! We finished with cappuccino ( faboo) and Baklava. First time a ordered baklava that wasn't made with walnuts , which are cheaper to use, , but made with pistachio. As it should be. ( I knew I wanted dessert , that's why I packed my sandwich) the booth was spacious & the decor was beautiful! Oh, my husband ate my sandwich when I got home. He moaned as he ate it haha! I had a bite. OMG, goat cheese, spinach, caramelized onion, balsamic glaze! Just wonderful! If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely go back as the rest of the menu looked great!

Ate here for the first time tonight and will definitely be going back! First, let me start with ambiance. It looked very pretty (see pictures) and wasn't loud inside. Nice place! Next, let me talk about service. When we went in there was a little of a wait so the hostess offered us to sit in the outdoor seating area. I was skeptical because it was a little chilly out but the hostess said she could take me to show me the area and if I didn't like it we could come right back in. Turns out, the outdoor area was lovely and had heaters, which she gave us a table right next to one. Onto the food! First, you should know it's BYOB, which is fine, but bring your wine! For an appetizer, we had these amazing lamb lollipops. So tender and tasty! For my entree I had the Sachetti which was a roasted pear and gorgonzola stuffed pasta sautéed with a roasted walnut sauce and apple cider reduction. Highly recommend! The consistency of the sauce is like a thick Alfredo, but the taste is a mix of a little sweet and more savory and is just so good. My other half had a chicken Caesar salad and it was huge! Also very good (but it's just salad so I won't go on about it except to say he couldn't finish it). Dessert was also amazing. I had an apple blossom which was like a fritter filled with fresh cut cooked apples and caramel with a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream (this was one of the specials) and my other half had a lemon raspberry tart (also a special). They also weren't overwhelming in size which allowed us to walk out without feeling like our stomachs were bursting. Again, I will be going back. Hope to see you there!

We had a fun, relaxing dinner on the outside terrace, with very good service and excellent food. Branzino over broccolini and rice was superb. Chicken Lemonde was sumptuous. The Castilla burger was one of the best veggie burgers around. We appreciated the very reasonable corkage fee for BYOB wine. After appetizers and salad, we were too full for dessert, which will have to wait until we return to The Naked Olive on our next visit to Longwood Gardens.

Very cute, chic spot! It's a bit further down in Kennet square so we almost missed it but I'm glad that we didn't. The interior is very modern and they have a closed in, heated patio. It is a BYOB. We had an array of items but our favorite were the chef's board (taste of Italy), the spaghetti pomodoro, and the pesto gnocchi. The mozzarella sticks and bread were also amazing! The pasta was very light and the sauces had great flavor. Everything we ate tasted fresh and made with high quality ingredients, even the olive oil for the bread. The service was awesome - our waitress checked on us multiple times, made recommendations and our food came out quickly. Highly recommend- would like to go back and try their pizza and/or the risotto

We dined at the Naked Olive this past weekend and enjoyed our dinner for the most part. I think with a few tweaks to the food it could be a fabulous place but I'll get to that later. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and we were promptly seated by the hostess. The environs were great and worthy of five stars. Our server, Britney, could not have been better. She (or maybe the octopus but it's honestly hard to compare the two) was the best part of our dinner. Britney was super friendly and quick to refill our drinks. She was one of the most outgoing, happy servers we've ever had. Another five stars for the service. Our meal started off with some complimentary bread and olive oil which was good enough. Maybe they could make the olive oil a bit spicier but either way it was no biggie. We started off with the octopus shareable which was one of the best octopi we've ever had and we eat lots and lots of it. It was that good. It was tender, perfectly cooked, and served atop a delicious lemony sauce that really complemented it. To the side of it were some greens and something that looked and tasted like guacamole which was good enough but seemed like an odd compliment. We also enjoyed the lamb lollipops which were served with tsatziki sauce. They were juicy, charcoaley, perfectly cooked, and had we stopped here we would have had the perfect meal. The shareables were five stars to me. Our entrees, while not technically bad, we're much, much less of a success. I had the whole (well it was missing the head) branzino that was kind of meh. As much as I love fish I was underwhelmed by the dish except for the crispy skin. The fish itself was slightly overcooked, more than slightly over salted, and served atop a bland, tasteless rice pilaf and undercooked broccolini. I would not order it again. Our other entree, the short rib, was slightly better but i don't think I'd order it again either. It featured two generous portions of slightly dry, over salted beef atop a mound of average tasting mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus that were devoid of any flavor whatsoever, and a decent sauce. It was palatable but disappointing. I'd give three stars to the entrees. My advice to the friendly owner who stopped by our table at the end of the meal would be to have the chef be much less heavy handed with salt, and to retool the entrees so they feature better sides and incorporate things that are in season. And then you'd have a perfect place with perfect food to match the perfect service.
