Wasnt expecting much and was pleasantly surprised during my visit. Staff are helpful and take time to explain the intricacies of olive oil and whats on offer. These make quality gift ideas for friends and acquaintances you kinda care for.If memory serves, Old Town offer sit down tastings with bread and dips on certain days.
Great selection. I did a pickup order and the hours listed on google do not match the actual hours. When I called the next day, the hours were correct on the automated answering service.
I loved this store, and Michael went out of his way to show us the various oils, and vinegars. He had some great suggestions on how to use them as well. He had ideas on pairings that were so delicious together. Not only did I leave with some fabulous purchases for gifts and myself. I gained some knowledge to renew flavors in the kitchen! Thank you!
Old Town Oil is a must stop place to go when strolling down Wells Street. You will leave with a new view of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. the expert pairings by the employees and the samples could keep you in this little shop for hours. I have become an oil and balsamic vinegar addict thanks to Old Town Oil.If youre looking for that gift for someone who has everything a bottle of balsamic will blow their mind and make you their favorite son-in-law.
I first experienced Old Town Oil at my cousin’s home. It was the best olive oil & vinegar I have tasted, to my surprise, she sent me a box and the rest is history. I will not cook without my Old Town Oils. Looking forward to visiting the store.
It was such a treat and nice experience to learn all about oil and vinegar. Will definitely go back once I finished my bottles.
Absolutely great store. Diverse olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Tremendous variety. This store has improved my cooking as well as increased my desire to cook.
Visited here during the Old Town food tour and came away very impressed. There were several variations that were provided that were incredibly tasty. I plan on coming back to purchase some of the oils and vinegar that we tried.
Old Town Oil is a great place to go to find a unique, memorable gift or something extra special for yourself. Old Town Oil has high quality, basic oils, but I really enjoy giving flavored oils as gifts (especially to people that I dont know very well). Their chipotle extra virgin oil has a great kick without being too overwhelming. Old Town Oil also has some great recipes to try with whatever you buy.
Friendly and informative service! Had to buy a bottle for us along with the gift I had stoped to get.
Amazing oils and vinegars. My one recommendation is the Picual Olive Oil. Otherwise, you cant go wrong and the brothers who run the shop is knowledgeable and will not steer you wrong.
I was there with a friend and though I did not buy anything I felt like I should give the place a review. They were so nice to both of us, the service was impeccable, and I truly have to go back there as I live so close. I feel like I have to support small businesses, so, here it is! Way to goo Old Town Oil!
Nice store with good quality oils and vinegars.
Ive always liked this place and stop when Im in town...... the person working this time was really unfriendly and seemed apathetic to my questions. I purchased 6 bottles of oil and she acted like she was doing me a favor by allowing me to make the purchase. So zero stars for staff. 5 stars for the oil and reserve balsamic.
This place is the best. The gift boxes make the best gifts. Staff was very nice and knew what they were talking about. Highly recommended.
Delicious large assortment of balsamic vinegars and olive oils.
Stopped in to pick up a bottle as a hostess gift and purchased a bottle of the Tuscan Herb olive oil for our house too. We sampled a variety of oils and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Great oils with great service. Visit them online if you cant make it here.
Old time oil has so much to offer with their Olive oils & vinegar. Great samples and knowledgeable staff.
I dont live in Chicago, but my daughter bring me a wonderful gift, a set of two kinds of oil, an two of balsamic. I recomended all my friends. The taste is delicious . I live in Lima Peru
I have been buying oil and vinegar from OTO for a couple of years, and I love it. I cant eat salad with any crappy store-bought dressing any more. I placed an online order this week, and they had it shipped out within a couple of hours, and I received it the next day. I was not able to find their custom pour spouts on their online store, so I wrote a message to them in the gift message text box requesting that they add a couple to my order. They included them at no charge, along with a hand-written note thanking me for my order. Excellent customer service! I hope to make it to the physical store sometime when I am in Chicago, but Im afraid of how much money I might spend.
Friendly service and quality oils and balsamics. I got to taste as many samples as I wished!
I am a customer and have been since the very first time I tasted their Balsamic vinegar at a street fair in Chicago back in 2006. Now Im a mail order customer and I have never been disappointed in what they produce. This has to be my fourth or fifth time I have reordered.
Youll never buy store brand oil again after shopping here. It isnt too pricey either, about $17-18 for a half liter bottle. They have nice gift boxes too (mix and match).
Cant go to Chicago without stopping here. Try EVERYTHING !
OMG! Fantastic Olive oil and vinegar selection here. Very fresh!
I used to be the person that would be random bottles of olive oil from my neighborhood grocery store... no more thanks to Old Town Oil. Try it and youll understand why!
I Love this place! Great selection of Olive Oil and amazing staff!
Wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great products!
Make sure you try their recommendations on blending the oil and vinegar...especially the blood orange
Love everything they have. Stopping by here allowed us to try various combos.
Very friendly staff. Free samples. Nice place.
Helpful staff. Rare selection.
