Like most culinary trends, it took FOREVER for decent Naples-style pizza to make its way to the TC, and finally we have some. Fat Olives has great food, a nice wine selection, and a cozy atmosphere. The service was good as well. We will be back to try more of the unique pizza creations...keep up the good work, guys!

Nice little place for lunch with consistently good sandwiches (a lot of food) and awesome pizzas. Order a slice and watch what comes - it is the size of a placemat! A little know place to go with some good choices.

This is a very nice place to go for lunch (haven't tried dinner yet). Their food is not the normal, average deli-style restaurant -- always a little different twist to salads and sandwiches. I think I've tried every salad and like them all. The sandwiches are wonderful also, and are HUGE. Our service was fantastic; personable, checked on us appropriately.... More

What a great find. Personable staff (owners?) that treated us well and made good suggestions. Love to find the local places when we travel. Richland, Washington may not be a hot spot, but if you are there, or in the tri-cities, make it a point to get there. We had calzone, rather than pizza, but it gives you a sense... More

We have been to Fat Olive's twice and each time the meal and the service has been excellent. We tried their specials, I had Surf and Turf, they were very good. The wine special was equally as good. Fat Olive's only lacks a quality atmosphere, but it does what it can with a refurbished Arbys. I will be back again.

I like that the place feels very family run and you get what you ask for even though when I asked for a large, I didn't know it was almost to big to get in my trunk..Got a good laugh about it. Also, it is good.

This is a restaurant we go periodically for lunch because the food is so good. It's a joke among my friends that we'll count how many times the wait staff smiles or makes eye contact. If the number is greater than zero it's a banner day at Fat Olive. The pizza is amazing, which keeps me going back in spite... More

It's a pretty good restaurant. The food was excellent. They have a long list of good wines by the glass to choose from. The dinner was a bit more expensive than it should have been.

We frequint this place often. I especially like the pork shank osso bocco. The shank is tender and flavoriful. Their main dinner .enu is limited, but they usually have 3 specials that suppliment the menu. They also have a nice sandwich menu as well as some nice pizzas. Recommend dining here.

Had dinner with two friends last night. Mostly excellent. Bruchetta appetizer, Pork Osso Bucco, Chicken Piccata, and Beef Medallions, all of which we ate family-style. The bruchetta was nicely presented (think starfish shape) and offered freshly cut tomatoes and basil, and quality mozzarella. The only disappointment was the beef dish (overcooked and a bit tough). But the pork and chicken... More
