Tried the Olivia salad and the Cesar salad, both were great but the dressing and the shrimp on the Olivia were fantastic. The real star was the Taormina pasta with sausage. It had the perfect amount of spice and sweetness.
Went back with family for a proper sit down meal and tried the branzino, lamb and the Athens chicken (along with the Oliva salad and Taormina pasta again) and everything was excellent. The lamb and branzino really blew us away, and the service and ambiance was fantastic as well. Have yet to be disappointed by The Little Oliva and will definitely be my go to place to bring friends and family when they’re visiting

Our first visit and I really like the feeling as we walked in. Either indoor or outdoor patio seating, both seemed comfortable and elegant.
We sat outside and ordered a Branzino fish and a Pastrami sandwich, both were excellent.
The service was prompt and friendly. Restrooms were clean.
It was an enjoyable dinning experience and we would definitely come back again.
Parking: we did street parking, the machine was a bit wonky, changed us for 4 hours even though we were pretty certain we set for an hour. There is also underground parking lot, not sure if they’d validate.

Beautiful beachside restaurant offering a wide variety from Italian, Mediterranean, Pizza, kabob and wraps.. and they do it all well. The service is excellent and the interior is immaculate clean.. the decor is European with a relaxed patio and charming touches and art throughout. The meatballs are incredibly tender and flavorful with a killer red sauce.. the chicken was perfectly crispy with a nice sauce and 3 sides on the plate. Everything down the the latte was top notch. Oliva is over on Ave I in Riviera Village… whatever you are in the mood for their diverse menu and relaxed cheerful atmosphere will hit the spot.

Just had a wonderful evening meal with my son at the Little Olivia. We had some things we needed to discuss in the first restaurant we went to had that thumping music that made conversation impossible. We looked across the street and my son said he’d been to a different location of Oliva and that he really enjoyed it. We both got the ice cream tea and shared the calamari dish while I had the pastrami sandwich. Both were very good. My intention was to take half the sandwich home but I couldn’t resist and finished it. We sat there for at least a couple hours enjoying each other’s company and the quiet patio outside. It was a very good experience. There were so many good things on the menu that we’re both going to have to come back and sample them.

Very personable staff, hostess and our server. Seated immediately next to heater outside on patio. Very comfortable. Immediately served complimentary green and kalamata olives and warm pieces of pita, very good. Our server able to describe dishes. I also overheard him giving suggestions to the table next to us, knowledgeable and honest. I ordered moussaka, good size and was satisfied with the portion. My husband ordered rigatoni pasta with sausage and red sauce. He liked it very much. He also had a latte that was good size and very good. 2nd time here and will return

A gem of a place in the Riviera Village! The dinner menu has always been great, but I recently had breakfast there and wow! Everything was beautifully prepared and very delicious. A feast for the eyes as well.
The service is friendly and efficient. Frankie and Trent, our servers this morning, brought great food and friendly conversation to the table. Such a nice way to start your mornings…I highly suggest you give them a try. Enjoy!

Usually I’m on here giving 5 stars for places like this, but whatever happened today I’m really hoping is a huge exception. Maybe I can come back to have a better experience. I brought 6 easy going guests, not particularly demanding (except for wanting to split the check)… But if we needed to ask for anything like extra napkins or water it was not going to happen. There was no staff in sight except ONE guy.
For a busy Sunday there were NO bussers, no host, no wait staff except just one guy, who was obviously overloaded. He had to handle all the roles. He was bartending, bussing tables, taking orders, serving food, everything, and not in much of a hurry either. When we asked what was going on he muttered something about somebody missing. The whole time I was there I marveled at how there was no expense spared on the restaurant’s decorations. I had to wonder, does this place treat its employees horribly, and somebody just quit and left them hanging? I don’t know, but it was quite apparent they had no backup.
Needless to say we had long waits for any step, to get the menus in the first place, to order, etc. When the food came out (55 min after we arrived) it seemed hurried. Everybody who ordered Eggs Benedict got hard eggs- not a huge problem, just obviously not a lot of attention available. Other dishes had various issues. If we wanted to make any requests there was nobody to talk to anyway, so we were relieved that the waiter finally came back with our checks and we were able to leave. Although, he wasn’t going to pay attention to us unless we stood up as if we were leaving before we paid. We tipped extra because we felt bad.
A table next to us sat unbussed for the entire hour and 50 minutes we were there. (picture attached)
Before we left, another guest loudly started protesting the lack of service (she hadn’t even gotten her menu yet), and she took our advice to leave, but not before walking around and discovering there was a manager sitting in the office the whole time! He was on the phone, looking majorly stressed out. The obvious point was that throughout all of this he was not backing up his employee at all. He could have filled in for the guy just 5 or 10 minutes and everything would be so much better. The loud patron recited how she’s worked in service industries a lot and what the manager was doing was not acceptable behavior at all.
I don’t know whatever problems they were happening today, it could be a serious issue that’s not their fault. Although, I got the feeling it was self inflicted. For a restaurant that goes to such lengths to decorate but has no staff, and gives no apology, it seems like a company problem.
We never asked for apology, but that was not going to happen even if we did want it- I could tell by how quickly I was brushed off by the manager once we discovered him sitting in the back. He wasn’t going to talk to me at all.
I won’t be able to convince any of the folks who came with me today to come back but I’ll try again alone some time.
