This was a LOVELY experience and we'd go back in a heartbeat. The food, Mezze Plate, was delicious and expertly prepared!! The dolmades were plump and packed! Both the hummus and the tzatiki were creamy and had a lovely texture. The service was impeccable; we sat in the corner and lost track of time. This was an amazing visit.

The Little Oliva has it all, delicious food, great ambiance, and friendly service. We were fortunate to hit this place on a Friday night when a live musician was playing. We will definitely be back on a Friday and hope to try one of their pizzas (they were out).

The Farm Salad is so fresh and tasty . The Garlic herb Focaccia Bread was perfect. Lemon Garlic Pappardala is a great vegetarian dish. For meat eaters the short rib was delicious.
