Very cozy place with a beautiful and stylish interior. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, which I really appreciated. I ordered a cappuccino. It was made very well and tasted great, but it did take a bit longer to prepare than expected. Overall, the restaurant left a very pleasant impression.

Oliva is insane in the best way possible. The moment you walk in, it’s like stepping into another world. The energy, the atmosphere nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. They’ve got lush plants everywhere, and this effortlessly cool, almost dreamlike vibe that makes you forget you’re even in SoCal. The food? Incredible. Every dish feels fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted. You can tell they care about the experience just as much as the taste. If you’re looking for a place that hits all the senses, ambiance, flavor, and pure magic.. Oliva is it! 🙌🏽

The atmosphere is beyond amazing. The water fountain inside and outside adds relaxing and calming touch to the place. You should live the experience and visit Oliva restaurant.

I decided to try this place based on a friend's recommendation. They had visited before and even sent me a photo of their persian pizza, which looked great. But the persian pizza l got looked nothing like theirs :( no oregano, no black olives, the crust was hard on the edges but raw in the middle, and overall it just wasn't acceptable. Very disappointing experience and completely different from what my friends had described.

Our family was staying next door at the Holiday Inn so we decided to give this place a try. So glad we did! The service, ambiance, and food were all delightful. It's a very relaxing and family friendly atmosphere. Our 4 and 6 year old kids had a great time playing with the instruments. The owners were very personable and provided exceptional customer service. We tried their highlights, which were the Pizza Oliva, Olivich Sandwich, and Oliva Salad. All unique and delicious blend of flavors. Definitely recommend!!
