Italian Chophouse | Rustic Pasta | Fresh Seafood The Old Library Restaurant is located in the historic Olean Public Library Building and is one of the region’s most beautiful and treasured landmarks. Built in 1909, with funds provided by the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, this elegant work of art was designed by architect Edward L. Tilton in the Beaux-Arts style, complete with original bookcases, a grand staircase, and two fireplaces. Full of Old-World charm and Art Deco flare, The Old Library pays tribute to the history of Olean's prohibition-era with its cozy and casual speakeasy vibe. This exquisite historical landmark was listed on the National and State Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Have been there twice since it opened. The place is even more beautiful than it was before! The food is excellent, service is pleasant. The bar area is particularly awesome! A family tradition of ours for years before it closed before, so now we are starting new memories!

The is a review for the new owners of the Old Library. The food was awesome! I got the scallops and they were the best scallops I have ever eaten. Our experience was so pleasurable that my wife and I have tried every menu they offer (lunch, dinner, and bar) in the course of 3 days! Each meal I got was delicious and fair priced for what I recieved. I cannot wait to go back again!
