Olivetta

It’s was my mans 30th birthday and we went with a group of our closest friends, we were 9 people The food was amazing as always but the service was very slow We agreed on $175 per person for more than 8 people At the beginning we had some drinks at the bar and 2 of our friends had a separate bill They gave us the bill and charged us $500 more than what we actually ate because we didn’t meet the set price, completely ignoring the money we spent on the bar and the friends that had a separate bill. When we spoke to the manager he was so rude! Gave us the worst attitude and made us wait more than 20 minutes for nothing He didn’t help us at all and when my friend was looking at a wine decanter the manager told him not to take it as if we were thieves Olivetta was my favorite restaurant for a few years but after the way we got treated I’ll never go back and never recommend it to anyone.

Came for a birthday dinner at this restaurant, the prices are very high but the food is good. We had an issue with our check and after we asked to fix the problem we waited about 20 minutes to receive the new check which was wrong too. All of that was nothing compared to the rude and outrageous behavior of the manager there that had the most bizarre attitude for no reason, was super impatient and couldn’t handle the issue. Unfortunately he is making a bad reputation to the restaurant and didn’t care.

The salmon was cooked perfectly and it was so juicy. I highly recommend the tuna tartare as well. The PORTIONS WHERE SO BIG!!!!

Very underwhelming for how much they're charging. Basic drinks. Basic food. There's much better spots like Mother Wolf or Great White that deliver a much better overall dining experience.

We booked Olivetta for an early Valentine’s Day dinner, based on its popularity and reputation. I would not classify it as fine dining, more so a really good Italian restaurant that specializes in drinks, and a more upscale and lively vibe versus a traditional fine dining restaurant like Madeo up on W Sunset. I would say it’s a great place to bring a date or dinner with friends or family, and not so much a work dinner location. The inside is beautifully done and has some great colors. There are tapestries all along the walls with lots of plants dividing the dining areas and a very muted red color that really adds to the ambience. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot, it will be valet or metered street parking. You have to check in with security street side first and then they let you walk up the ramp where you will next check in with the hostess. They have a large bar area as well as a lot of different seating options. Our table was extremely small, however, and the tables were very close together so this is not the sort of place that you’ll be able to have a private or sensitive conversation. Our server was very polite, although took quite some time to take our order initially but overall, I think he did a great job. The music is quite loud here so if someone has hearing issues they will really struggle to hear others at their table. They have a fairly large menu with a lot of great options on it. We started off with a Squash Blossoms, which were absolutely fantastic. I have ordered these all over town and this is definitely one of the better versions. I was a bit disappointed that it only comes with three which is a hard number to share so I wish the portion size would’ve been a bit larger for this. Next we followed with the Caesar Salad and it was great. Again, not a very large sized portion, but still tasty flavorwise. For my entrée, I chose the Creste Di Gallo because having the bone marrow scooped in right before you eat is an unbeatable addition to me. It was a true treat. I love bone marrow anything so this was great pasta. The bone marrow itself added a great flavor and a crunch to the meal, which I truly loved. We also ordered the special for the day, which was the Dungeness Crab Tagliatelle. It was absolutely fantastic and had a ton of crab on it. The sauce was truly what made the dish and the pasta was cooked perfectly. For dessert we topped off the meal with the Brown Sugar Budino and I definitely would recommend it. It was sweet and salty and actually a great sized portion. it was a great end of the meal. Overall, I would say Olivetta is a great date spot. It’s very lively and very noisy but in a fun way. They play the music quite loud so it has a very Friday night kind of feel to it. I would recommend and will try it again sometime in the near future. Parking: valet or metered street parking

Never have I ever been treated the way I have at this restaurant. The waiter was so rude, he accidentally spilled wine on me and didn’t apologize. He even questioned how I got spilled on, when he was holding the wine glass in his hand. Too bad as the food was good, but wow was the service terrible. I refuse to be treated this way when you’re spending 800$ on a dinner

Parking: $20 for valet is too much. I ordered the special and I was there With a large group. Food was in edible and this place I have been to 3 times before but now off my list and all my guests said the same
