The manager Michele was wonderful accommodating our requests There was 10 of us and he gave each couple a separate check. The food was fantastic from the pear salad, pasta and delicious veal chop we had. Other couples had a variety of dishes and loved them all. There was a nice selection of wine by the glass We had a round table for the ten of us which made it easy for conversation. The only disappointment was the cannoli. Great meal in the Valley. We will be back!!

Beautiful restaurant. We ordered the Margarita Pizza with garlic, Caprese Salad and the side of broccoli. All were delicious. Additionally we each had the glass of Salmon Creek Cabernet. It was the perfect compliment to dinner. Our waiter was attentive and polite. We had a wonderful evening.

Although it had been awhile since we last visited Oliva Trattoria, we were not disappointed. Service was excellent, food was fresh and beautifully presented and the atmosphere was conducive to conversations while seated at a round table for our party of 7. We look forward to visiting again soon.
