    Our visit to Olivetta was fantastic! The food was exceptional, with the pasta and hamachi standing out as highlights. Our server, Simone, truly made the evening memorable with her delightful service and engaging personality. As first-timers, we felt welcomed and well-cared for. We're already looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu and will definitely ask to be in Simone's section next time!

    It's about expectations ............. a bit pricey (expect that - it's in West Hollywood), it has a sense of "airs" and formality (when you look at my pics and others, this isn't intended to be fast food or a fav dive bar), the food preparation is very good (which takes time and talent), they charged 20% tip (disclosed in small print, only once), and adults only after 8:30 pm. This was a special occasion for us and so our expectations were set properly. As expected the food and service were very good. Of course, see my food and interior pics. Being in West Hollywood, we took ride share - no traffic or parking issues for me tonight. As you can see from my inside pics, it's an incredibly soft and welcoming environment. While these pics showed a well-lit dining area, the lights are toned down as the evening progresses and the environment changes to a more intimate experience. We started our dining experience about 6pm to a near empty restaurant and it started to fill up about 8 pm - FYI. Yet, the environment was still quiet and peaceful. As simple as it is, the grilled sourdough toast (back to expectations, this alone is $15) was great. There is something about the char on thick sourdough toast, see pic, and the rich butter that contrasts with the crunch that is so good. BUT, this only compliments the Baked Prawns, see pic. The shrimp, heads on, were nicely sized and not overly cooked. The chili was mild which let the garlic, basil flavors shine through. We shared several dishes including their Radiatore, see pic. This is Lamb Bolognese which was incredibly good. The lamb was rich but not fatty. The noodles were cooked al dente. As you can see in my pic, the sauce clings to the noodles which were also quite savory and flavorful. The Grilled Broccolini, see my pic, was still tender and lightly seasoned. The vinaigrette wasn't too spicy or hot, and so the vegetable's flavor came through and complimented the other dishes. As you can see from my pic, the 14 oz Pork Chop had THE sear on it. I find pork chops hard to grill with a sear on the outside and the right pinkness on the inside. This was perhaps a bit overdone; you can still see a hint of pink inside this large chop. It was mildly spiced, but the au jus was incredible. In fact, we asked for a serving spoon so that we could get every last drop of it. We finished with 2 desserts: Brown Sugar Budino and Lemon Tart. The Budino was as creamy as is looks, see my pic. While not too sweet, it was quite rich. Even still the earthiness of the brown sugar was allowed to shine through. Likewise, the Lemon tart, see pic, had a bit of tang, light on the lemon flavor and was a bit sweet. This crust was very light and flaky - which paired exceptionally well with the whipped cream (see pic of its presentation and density).

    Great food and vibes. Even better service with our amazing server, Simone. Super attentive, fun and had the best recommendations. Don't skip dessert and get the chocolate olive cake.

    Olivetta is now clearly our favorite Italian/European restaurant in the city. Last year we celebrated a birthday and last Friday we came back to celebrate a graduation. The food was absolutely delicious (the bone marrow pasta is incredible), the dining room is beautiful and warm, but just like last time the people who work there make all the difference in the world. Patty who greeted us is so wonderfully warm and genuine. She greeted us with a big hug and we felt right at home. Our server Stephen was prompt, polite, professional and personable. The GM was consistently walking around, checking and making sure all guests were taken care of. Thank you for another great evening!!!
