Reviews for Oliva Trattoria in Sherman Oaks, CA

Food quality was very low, certainly below my expectation. Their Pizza didn't taste like a Pizza . I ordered Veal which was the... worst I've ever had. They must have changed their chef with no experience in making gourmet food. Sorry for being honestcritic. Read more

First let me say our waiter was excellent. I give him 5 stars. The food was not good. My wife ordered angel hair pasta with... chicken. The dish arrived with no chicken and the pasta was rock hard so they had to remake it. When the dish came out a secondtime the pasta was cooked properly but the chicken was rubbery. I ordered the lemon chicken picante. The chicken was tough andthe sauce was overpowering. It may of been an off night for the restaurant. This was my first time eating here our friends whowe dined with said they had eaten here several times and its usually good. They too said their food was not good tonight. Read more

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 Ihad 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 foodmix with lobster tail. ???? You won't regret it. Ask it bit spicy . I recommend ???? ???? ???? Read more

Great neighborhood place with great service. I got the bronzino and it was delicious....served in a lemon butter sauce. The... mashed potatoes that came with it came from a box. My wife's spaghetti and meatballs was a disappointment....the meatballs camefrom a bag....not homemade. I wanted to love this place. If you like bronzino, definitely worth a visit. I hope the ownerspay more attention to the details. Read more

I am so disappointed in MYSELF. I've lived 5 minutes from this restaurant for years and could kick myself thinking of all the... times I let myself eat subpar Italian food. Finally decided to try this gem last night and wow. The service was outstanding. Sofriendly and attentive (luke was our server but we had many others coming to bring bread, refill waters, picking up plates,offering us extra condiments, etc.) The have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A dog-friendly patio. And the food isperfect. I couldn't find anything to complain about if I tried. They also have a huge wine list, a nice beer selection, andoffer handmade cocktails. I would normally order from bucca di beppo in Encino but this is definitely my new go to! Read more

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 inthe rear. You will not be disappointed. Just one block off Ventura on Van. It’s Blvd. Read more
