Great Italian food without the sweet sauce that plagues almost all other Shreveport Italian places. Outstanding food, perfect atmosphere, nice prices, great wine list. This is truly one of the best dining experiences in Shreveport. No need to know the owners to get good service (unlike Ernest's) and good food. more

We spent an incredible evening at Olive Street Bistro on June 28th. Fernando has outdone himself. The evening consisted of a six course dinner, a wine tasting event and some of Broadway's best tunes - it was fabulous! The service is always excellent, the wine exceptional, the food absolutely delicious and the entertainment - beyond compare. What a great way... more

Fernando has done it again. The Broadway Night at Olive Street Bistro last Sunday evening was outstanding. Wonderful six course meal, superb wines and a great night featuring some amazing talent. Sorry for anyone that missed it. more

Tripe stars for Fernando and his Olive Street Bistro. Moving to Shreveport, and literally across the street from the Bistro....I keep reminding myself, how fortunate am I. Tonight, i simply rolled out of my apt building where a friend met me and we walked across the street to enjoy BROADWAY NIGHT. Besides the exceptional food, quality service and articulate atmostphere,... more

I agree with everyone else giving reviews here....this is a fantastic restaurant. The anti-pasta appetizer is fresh and delicious as are all of the featured pasta dishes. I love the cozy atmosphere here, especially nights when there's live piano music. A very cozy and memorable Italian eating experience. Quaint and unique, the Olive Street Bistro is now on my "must... more

I really do enjoy coming here to eat and have a few drinks at the bar. There is usually someone playing the piano or singing, which for me is essential especially in an Italian restaurant. The french onion soup is very good. I usually order the tortellini which is excellent and I love their pizzas fresh out of their wood... more

Olive Street Bistro is my favorite place to go for a really quiet dinner with excellent food and wonderful service. The stuffed tortellini shells are soooo good. It's my favorite dish on the menu. Also, the peach bellini is very fizzy and tastes great. I would say it's a great place for a date or anniversary and it's not too... more

Do not confuse Olive Street Bistro with the Olive Garden! The differences between the two are like night and day. While visiting Shreveport, my husband and I took our sons to this wonderful Italian restaurant. We went there for lunch at this nicely decorated eating establishment. The meal started with some delicious fresh bread. Unlike most places, we were given... more
