"New York City Italian restaurant Olio e Più has expanded to Chicago, serving a seasonal menu in River North that emphasizes meat and seafood. Weekend brunch brings poached eggs with prosciutto and roasted potatoes, platters of salami and cheese with housemade focaccia, and pancakes with cherry chantilly. Add on 90 minutes of mimosas for $25. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"Chicago is no stranger to transplants like NYC’s Olio E Più, a spacious Italian spot populated with antique chandeliers, vintage posters, and a mixed bag of tourists and couples who look like they just wrapped a J. Crew photo shoot. But with its disappointing takes on classics, Olio E Più ends up being just another buzzy River North spot that you can skip. The easy-on-the-eyes carbonara turns out to be a pile of watery pasta even the salty guanciale can’t rescue from blandness. Branzino covered in tomatoes like bruschetta arrives mushy, and the lamb meatballs are similarly flavorless. And though the smooth panna cotta topped with refreshing passionfruit is solid, it isn’t enough of a consolation prize. If you’re in the area and need your red sauce fix, check out RPM Italian just across the street. photo credit: Rachel Bires" - John Ringor
"Italian restaurant Olio e Piú was recently featured in a sponsored post on the Instagram account @beautiful.newyorkcity, which was managed by a robot-run account designed by Chris Buetti to receive free meals in exchange for positive online exposure." - Carla Vianna
