Environment/ambience: cozy type restaurant. they can host small and larger tables. They had a TV on at the bar so we could watch the football game too. They have full bar but we had beer and wine. Mixed crowd.

Absolutely amazing! Where do I start? The service is splendid! The food was just perfect, everything tasted so delicious. It was my first time here and I had such an awesome time. I will definitely be back. We had the lasagna, oh my goodness best lasagna I’ve ever had in my life. It was just perfectly balance of sauce and cheese and just pure greatness. Thank you everyone for serving your customers just right.
Wonderful and comprehensive selection of seafood, fresh pasta, chicken, beef. If you are a fan of wine, Olivia has an extensive list both by the glass and by the bottle. You will not be disappointed! They have a spacious dining room and an outdoor patio in the rear. You will not be disappointed. Just one block off Ventura on Van. It’s Blvd.
We had my son’s bday dinner the other night. Not only was the service unbelievable like I even told the manager how wonderful our waitress was. She was so sweet and attentive. Food is always great. They even put an ice cream cake in the freezer and sliced and served it. I felt bad we were so loud lol. Food was awesome!!
Ok. From this moment this is my favorite restaurant period. The atmosphere is amazing. Little venice vibe. Welcoming families and the service out of this world. Nikita was fantastic professional and we got FABULOUS service.
Huge variety of food i wish I had 3 stomachs for all of that.
The food is 10/10 really . Cant wait to come back.
I truly recommend the dish with the sea food mix with lobster tail. 🦞
You won't regret it. Ask it bit spicy .
I recommend 👌 👏 👍
What a wonderful trattoria. All of the dishes we tried were the delicious. We had the Caesar salad to start, the New York steak with arugula, sausage pizza and chicken parmesan with pasta. The service was five star. We highly recommended Olivia and look forward to returning very soon.
The food was good, the service was good and the ambiance is perfect for a quiet business meeting. The price was a little bit high for the type of food.

very tasty food ,Excellent service The atmosphere in the shop is comfortable. clean, suitable for catering Casual gatherings like family or friends, or on a romantic date. Parking is easy to find.
Absolutely love this place and try to go at least once every time I’m in town. The service is great and the food is AMAZING. Large wine selection and just an overall great experience. I highly recommend. The pappardelle tartufo is probably the best dish I have personally had off the menu — the truffle oil is just the icing on the cake!
Met my nephew for a late dinner. Chose the right place. Brick oven pizza was good. Service was exceptional. So many different people stopped by to check on us to be sure everything was to our liking. We truly enjoyed our visit.
I smashed the food too quickly for pictures please forgive me. However I ordered take out. Order was hot and ready easy pick up. Food is fantastic of which I knew because when I walked in I smelled parmesan. Will be back!
P.s. my wife's Risotto de Pesce
What a great place! Food and staff are absolutely delicious!
The old fashioned was off the hook! 🥃 Thank you all who made our NYE so amazing!
Really nice Italian food at reasonable prices. Great tasting espresso, but their bartender could stand some improvement when it comes to naming cocktails
Food was just OK. Overall great atmosphere. Good service as well.
Choose this place for the office party of 7 and it was absolutely amazing! The vibe and food was delightful. I love Italian food and normally get a pasta dish, I surprisingly ordered the salmon over lentils with vegetables and every bite was a wow, wow, wow! Would highly recommend and looking forward to next visit.
There are not enough good words in the English language to properly express how wonderful of an experience I had, all of the staff was efficient and attentive even with a packed house, the food was magnificent, all around an incredible atmosphere. If you want amazing service and delightful food give Oliva a try you won't be disappointed.
