Olivetta

Olivetta in West Hollywood nails the vibe—it’s like stepping into an Old Hollywood dream. The lush interiors, draped ceilings, and rich colors create a glamorous yet inviting atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you’d imagine Hollywood icons lingering over cocktails. But while the ambiance was top-tier, the food was not the star. We started with a side of caviar, served with crème fraîche and Yukon potato chips—an odd pairing that didn’t quite elevate the dish. The Caesar salad was filling but forgettable. For our mains, we opted for three dishes: • 8oz Filet Mignon – Cooked well with a nice sear, but it lacked that wow factor. A top-tier steakhouse would easily outshine this dish. • Grilled Branzino – While stunning in presentation and generous in portion, it was overcooked, dry, an

Celebrated my anniversary here yesterday and hands down this can be my favorite go to. The ambiance so was romantic and European. We walked in and they gave us Champaign on the house because we were celebrating our anniversary which was nice. The waitress was beyond helpful. Whatever she recommended is what we got and wow 10/10. For cocktails i had the tequila + carrot which sounded weird but I gave it a shot and it was amazing! The crispy squash blossom was so delicious!!! My favorite thing on the menu. We also had the shaved fennel salad which was very good and refreshing. My husband had the Radiatore which is a lamb bolognese, we were skeptical about ordering that dish because it might be very over powering with lamb but the waitress told us its half lamb and half beef so we gave it a t

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 wa

I recently visited Olivetta, and the ambience felt like stepping into an enchanting ‘Alice in Wonderland’ setting. From the decor to the vibe, everything had a whimsical charm that made the evening memorable. The service was friendly and attentive, from the warm welcome at the door to the thoughtful care from our server. I particularly enjoyed the Caesar salad—it was fresh and well-prepared. There was a bit of a wait for the steak, but the staff kindly let us know they were short-staffed that evening. Parking was a bit of a challenge, as there’s no nearby parking, so I had to valet my car. Despite that, it’s a great place to gather with friends for drinks and appetizers if you’re looking for a stylish spot to unwind. Just plan for a bit of extra time if it’s a busy night.

I'm very happy this place opened, the area needed a new restaurant. We had a very satisfying meal. It's a little on the pricier side, but the ambiance, portions and service all meet the expectation of what you're paying for. Nothing we ordered absolutely blew our minds, but everything overall was very good. We will definitely be coming back.
