Oliva Mediterranean Restaurant

Visited for the first time and the whole experience was lovely. Friendly and welcoming staff, delicious food, refreshing cocktails and amazing Desserts

Super delicious food! We loved everything we got, which was the Mousakka and the marinara linguini. The tiramisu and crème brûlée was the best way to finish the meal. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food, delicious drinks. The restaurant was busy and packed, but we were still served quickly. The food was hot and fresh, and came out quickly despite being busy. Nice local restaurant with friendly staff. Worth visiting if you're in the area or a local.

This place was a great find. So many choices! Friendly atmosphere, beautiful restaurant, delicious tasting food and the service was amazing. Will definitely be back.

My family and I have dinner here regularly and we are always extremely happy with our experience. From the customer service to the food, every part of dining at this restaurant deserve 5 stars. Can’t forget the amazing cocktails!

Excellent food, best veal I have had in ages, really friendly staff who engaged in some delightful conversations, and plenty of gluten free options.

Only negative was speed of service which was awkwardly slow when the restaurant was only 50% full.

I'll be back.

We have been coming here for family birthdays 2 years in a row.
Lamb dish was delicious, huge servings as always.Kids meals come with ice cream, both delicious. Service has been consistently great, highly recommend.

We have been to this restaurant half a dozen times now and the food has always been very good. The wait staff are always very attentive and friendly. It's great to have another option for dinner in the Menai area. Highly recommended.

The food here is delicious. The satay chicken is a favourite 👌Artie the owner is super friendly. The mid week 2 course specials are great!

Oliva Menai is one of the best restaurants in the suburb. The owener (Aarti) and staff will go the extra mile to look after their customers.

The food is extremely delicious, would recommend this place to anyone.

We are very fortunate to have this place few minutes drive away from home.. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always impressed with my meal! The waitstaff are also great and always efficient, happy and polite even though they are being trained, after all it’s a new beginning after the pandemic. Love this place and will continue to visit with and friends and family. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in a place in Sydney.

Wow, what a find! Although this restaurant is in an area we normally don't walk past and we didn't know of, it will certainly be one that we return to. We actually had a booking at another popular restaurant nearby but they didn't have our booking in their system and couldn't help us. We walked up to Oliva and tried our luck as it was a Saturday night and scored a table for 4. The service, menu, food and price was outstanding.

Honestly some of the best food I ever have had in such a long time . Everything is so fresh, beautiful pasta, home gnocchi, risotto and deserts! Oh and the best ever hone made chicken nuggets and chips to die for. We will be back!

We love it! The food, wow. I couldn't fault it in any way. So tasty, portions generous, just yum. The owner comes out and has a chat and truly is a great person. One thing upset me though, I ordered the tiramisu and it was mouth-watering and my husband the creme Broulee, I tasted his and was so jealous so next time I will get 2 desserts. Thank you and we will definitely be back.

Great place to eat, they really do things the right way. The staff is wonderful, friendly and kind and also very attentive. In addition, the place is run by a lovely woman who truly cares about customer’s satisfaction and well being without forgetting her staff, which she looks after. I’ve eaten and worked here and trust me if I say that the food is excellent. Overall it is one of the best restaurants I’ve been so far without a doubt.

Always a good feed with great service. Lamb souvlaki is a fave.

I have eaten here a few times and today I had my daughters 21st & sons 18th birthday celebrations here.. The food, staff and service was exceptionally amazing. Highly recommend anyone who wants to celebrate any special occasion or just a casual meal.. Special mention to Arti who helped make this day very special..

Amazing experience!!
Wonderful food and service 100% would eat again. The food was hot and ready within a short time, lovely dishes and service, clean store. And strong recommendations from the servers as well. Highly reccomended to anyone else looking to eat here!

Another great night at this great little restaurant. Great food . Great service . They had a lot of walk-ins which is hard to staff for . Handled it really well . Always great food every time . We will be back 👍👍

Found this hidden gem as we had to attend an event nearby. Very rare to find a restaurant where the great food is matched by equally great service. Food was incredible and although there was a party going on, the noise level was comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed a 3 course meal, drinks and a really reasonable price. Will be back!
